4 SONG OF HALLOWEEN

BY Florence Borner)
Sing song of witches
Riding through the night
On their trusty broomsticks
While the moon shines bright.
Sing song Of fairies,
Goblin elfin. gnome,
Leave their hidden places
Far abroad to roam.
Sing song Of pumpkins.
Large and smooth and round,
Lying in the cornfields
On the frosty ground.
Sing of jack o-lanterns.
Glaring eyes and mouth,
Soaring little kiddies
From the north to south.
Dancing to the music
Of a jolly tune,
See the happy dancers
Whirling round the room.
Sweet and spicy cider.
Nuts and ginger cakes.
Don't they taste delicious?
Kind that mother makes.
Youth is smiling on US,
Age has taken flight,
Life is full Of pleasure
On this gladstone night.
Smiling fortune tellers.
Franks, and lots of fun.
Would you know the reason?
Halloween has come!

PROFIT IN
RACE
Attendance Estimated at a.
OOO-Racers Yet to
Be Paid

The board of directors of the
Baltimore Washington Speedway,
scene of Bob McDonogh's victory
in a thrilling 250-mile automobile
race yesterday, will meet tomor-
row to settle the financial obliga-
tions incurred by the event.
The most sanguine cannot hope
for division of heavy profits, if
there be any to divide. Yester-
days paid attendance was unoffi-
cially estimated at $4,000.
Racers Yet to Be Paid
One of the most important prob
lens to be placed before the meet
ing will be the question of paying
$500 appearance money to tho dare
devils who participated in yester.
days race.
This money was not paid last
night, when $4,000 in prizes were
divided. Clearance F. Sewers, sec
rotary of the association. said to-
day that payment could not be
made until after the directors
meeting.
In the meantime several of the
racers, provided with funds by other
means, have left Washington for
Salem, N. H., where a postponed
race will be run off next Saturday.
The American Automobile AsSo-
citation, acting unofficially in behalf
of the departed drivers, today volun-
teered to assist them in obtaining
the appearance money
Praise Laurel Track
Prior TO the exodus of the racing
men they spoke highly of the
Laurel track. proclaiming it prob
ably the fastest in the country.
1t was freely stated that If Peter
de Paolo, who finished second, had
not blown a tire, and if McDonogh,
the winner, had not experienced oil
exhaustion during the last few laps,
both probably would have broken
the world record set at Culver City.
Cal. The drivers prefer he Laurel
course to the California bowl, they
said.
Difficulty in money matters char
acteriZed the business end Of the
race. The promoters were Late in
providing the prize guarantee fund
and the departure Of drivers without
collecting appearance money Is not
in accordance with the customs of
the sport.
They were assured by officials,
however, of the prototers' good in
tentiOns, and it was practically GER
tain today that no obstacle toward
paying the appearance money Will
appear in the path of the directors
tomorrow
Money Brought In Friday.
The certified check for the prize
money was brought to A. A. A.
headquarters last Friday night,
shortly in advance Of the time
when the contest committee would
have declared the race off. The
drivers, appeased by this action,
prepared for the race Saturday, as
scheduled, but a heavy rain set in.
The Speedway officials wanted
postponement until November Z, but
the contest board insisted that the
race should take place on Monday
following the regular date. Re-
Iuctantly, the Speedway officers
consented, having doubts about
Monday crowds. Their doubts were
justified 1t was a great race, but
not financially, for any but Tommy
Milton, who not only collects the
prize money for coming i'm third,
but first money as well, Bob Nc
