TT PLEASING feature of the
al Grand Circuit races at the
E Playground on Tuesday
was the way the thoroughbreds
got away. There was no long de-
lay on the starts. A. H. Pendle-
ton sent them away in a hurry
in almost every heat.
The only holdup came in the
first heat Of the 2:1S trot. The
small fields were partly responsible
for the quick action SO pleasing
to the spectators.
A youth just entering college
asked our advice. We told him
that when he played poker to
stay in the penny ante games.
TG7TEADINESS counts more in
most sport than brilliant
- and f1ashy characteristics.
'8rhe. greatest infielders in baseball
phave had the necessary amount Of
speed, but the attribute which
made them famous has been
ability to play accurately all
chances.
Many an infielder has been
known to look like a million on
difficult chances only to boot or
throw away the easy ones. Errors
are part Of baseball, but the best
seem able to concentrate on their
game to such an extent that their
execution becomes almost me-
chanically perfect.
The TT. Harrison fight manage
ment got a chance to use those
semaphores on the roads leading
to the Army reservation Tuesday
night. They told the sad news
to autoists-NO FIGHTS TO-
NIGHT. It was the first card
postponed this summer. The
weather man has been kind. The
card will DE held tonight.
F-1ERE'S a tip for some wise
IL baseball Managers sure
way to win a pennnant:
just get cast-off twhrler from
each club in the league and pitch
them against their old team
mates as often as possible. A
hurfer sure does bear down.
against his old club. He wants to
show 1t what a mistake has been
made by letting him go.
All this comes to mind because
Of Mondays feat of Jim Ed
wards, Cleveland castor, who
n BANKED his former mates with
81 four hits while on the mound for
the White Sox. 1t was the first
game he has started for Collins
crew. He has been used in the
relief role in other contests.
Among the spectators at the
Grand Circuit races Tuesday at
the State Playground was A. L.
Trester, secretary of the Indiana
High School Athletic Associa-
ton. He left rather early-prob-
ably prefers basketball.
Shorty Burch is improving. He
got through several long announce
ments at the Playground Tuesday
without much suffering. Yes. the
cigar was also present.
We will refrain from saying,
the thud of the pfgsldn is heard
once more in the land" But
there, we have said 1t, after all.
AUTOMOBILES are tenn
al peramental and race cars
9 of the same construction
do not always run the same.
Most of the "big league race
pilots admit that Benny Hill has
the fastest boat" Of them all.
But lately the little fellow has
been having trouble with his car.
