ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY

W
with the close Of Bowie track today
the fall season of racing comes to an
end. Only the winter tracks will be in
operation. Although there are some
good horses at New Orleans and Tia
Juana and the Florida tracks will have
some good sport later on Across the
Board does not think that winter tracks
hold the interest that prevails in the
spring summer and fall when the Ken
lucky courses are in operation. Racing
In the winter to local sport followers
loses it's kick. It is all too far away.
1t Is something like trying to play foot
ball In the summer.
Across the Board closes up shop today
until next spring. We will make our
final investments today and Monday tell
Won Just how we finished. We have been
lucky enough to add many dollars to
the original bank roll of $780, And ono
must be lucky to win. II is not a game
meant to be beat. Just remember that.
On Friday most Of the time. we Just
came close. which brought back few
dimes, but failed to get the dollars. Red
Pennant was the only winner. Comedy
and Cudgeller were second and Prince
Hamlet. third. King Tut and Zanzibar
werc out Of the money. The bank roll
which went down some today is ST.
4S7.55.
This Is Saturday. On the last three
Saturdays we have been big winner. We
only hope our luck has not deserted us
this last day until we see you again
ext spring.
We will play an outstanding choice in
the third at Bowie and put $40 win and
place on ANNA MARRONE III. Favor
ties don't always win on gateway day,
but wen try ROCKAHNISTER in the
fifth, SO across the board. DERNIER
SOU in the finale looks like a good
bunch and $40 across goes on that
ones chances.
At New Orleans LEATHERWOOD I'm
the third and T. s. JORDAN in the fifth
viii be played SO win, place and show
on each. TANGARA in the sixth and
LIERRE In the seventh will get the
Same investment. That's all until next
year.
IN This age of sheiks and
lounge lizards it is good to
- note that Indianapolis has
several clubs where young Amer
lea is being taught the manly art
of self-defense. The Indianapolis
Athletic Club is the latest to take
a definite step in the development
Of boxers.
On next Tuesday night Howard
KID Wiggam will take charge of
boxing classes for members and
their sons. 1t is Wiggam's plan
to build up a team which will step
out with outside competition next
year II the talent Is up to expec-
tations.
Whether any classy mitt artists
are found or not 1t is going to be
a fine thing for those who take
advantage of the opportunity to
build up physical condition with
the padded gloves. If clear skins
and muscle can take the place of
sallow compilations and fiabby fat,
Zen Wiggam has done a real serv-
Edouard Horemans, Belgium
wizard Of the green cloth tables,
and Jake Schaefer, champion,
will meet in Chicago on next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, in an 1872 balIxline billiard
match for the title. We look for
HOremans to surprise by bril-
liant showing. He has improved
wonderfully since he first came
to these shores, years ago.
r1R d A Y NIGHT IN
SHELBY-For the first ten

1t suddenly dawned on Tins
hearties that they could wade right
through the city fellers, defense
and they started the parade and
kept right on marching theefest of
