ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY

After a two weeks layoff. Across the
Board tried a Sc play on Monday and
got the "air.'' The So win-place-and-
show pariay on Pandy and Nassau was
Just that much fodder for the wide open
laws of Iron Mike that eats greenbacks
like an elephant eats hay.
Pandy was third and Nassau was
fourth losing out on the show end BY
nose. The bank roll is S472.5O.
Today we will step out little strong
err and play a bunch at Dade Park, SIS
vim, place and show. LINKS is the
horses name-and what better could
anyone want with the national amateur
golf tourney in progress?
A SIS across-the-bOard parlay will be
placed on DEVON in the third at Haw-
:horne. SILVER FOX in the fourth at
Belmont and the SALMON ENTRY
Zeppelin must Go) in the fifth at
Coney.
.~Joie Ray, the veteran mile run
S, Is to enter the fight game at
mpaign, ILL.,, on Sept. II. We'd
bet on cocky Joie in a ten-acre
field, but the ropes are too close
in the ring and will cramp Rays
style. Besides, he will meet some
mighty fast runners who may out
distance him.
Sept. l is here and football
looms just ahead. If you don't
believe this look in the sporting
goods stores windows. Base
bali paraphernalia and grid equip
ment are side by side. The dia-
mOnd gooGs 2To marked down.
ET ne must say something about
WI Babe Ruth. Big bad boy
Bamblno is one Of the chief
topics Of conversation just now.
Ruth should let the fans do the
talking and not do so much him
self. That Is a sure way to get in
bad. Miller Higgins is keeping
mum.
Babe naively let's his attitude
be known by saying he disobeyed
Manager Higgins orders on the
field because Babe thought Hug
gins was wrong. The former swat
king has the small boys rebellious
attitude toward authority in any
form.
r Discipline is something unknown
to the BAN. Lack Of control Of
himself by himself or others has
caused all Of the big fellows
troubles.
There, now, we've taken our
v punch at Ruth. One must be In
style.
2Ouke KahanOmOlxu, famous
V4awaiian swimmer, will be seen
Or in the movies soon in one of
\ Conrad's sea tales. The Duke
r. will be right at home. In the
~ heydey of his fame he has posed
for something like 1888 pic
lures.
E~7OMEBODY once said: OF the
word thou hast spoken thou
art the slave-but Of the
word not yet spoken thou art the
master. Wise sport dopesters fol
2 low this wise advice and never are
wrong. Foolish ones like Stirrin'
The Dope put down their opinions
in black and white. This Is a
dangerous practice but it gives the
sport fans more to talk about
right or wrong.
1t is said that Umpire Green
of the Three-I League who got
beating from the fans at
Quincy, ILL.,, recently, asked the
rabid, raucous rooters to chop
on" and they took him at his
word. Umpire Green is correctly
named.
F7OME strange things happen
Nj in the sport Of kings. On
p N Monday in wire betting,
Antiquarian, Nayarit and Alice
Lang in the third race at Coney
Island all were bet on to win,
place and show-three horses in
the same race, played by the same
bettors. All We're in the money
in the order. named above.
f<;1le priceg were good. Anti
%Xrian paid $5.4O to win, $500
to place and $4.10 to show. Those
place and show prices look odd.
Nyarit, the second choice in the
betting, paid $3.50 to place and
$40 to show. Alice Lang paid
$3.50 to show.
