ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY
We Just can't get rid of that bank
roll no matter how hard we try. Cobra
was scratched Thursday and the 500
was saved for another attempt. But
that's all that remains. Bankrupt did
it's share of putting us in the same con-
ditiOn by quitting and Water Flag was
fourth in the seventh race. All you
get is experience when they finish
fourth. The roll is S1OO.45.
TOM z in the second at Latonia and
PETITE in the third get S25 win and
place parIny today. PITCHFORK in the
fourth will be played $40 win, place and
show. The remaining $50 goes on
JACK BAUER to win in the sixth. All
we got Is up. If we lose we will bOr-
row $500 Saturday and plunge on some
hot one in an effort to retrieve our
losses.
--LATEST word from the Hi
nOis grid camp is that
Red Grange will start
against Butler unless Coach
Zuppke changes his mind at the
last minute, which is improbable.
The Him will present their
strongest lineup against the In
dianapOLis eleven.
The Redhead is eager for
chance to demonstrate that he
has not gone back, and Zuppke
wants to perfect team work and
interference. Iowa is the first
Conference foe at Iowa City on
Oct. II.
All of which means Butler is
in for a terrific battle on Sat
urday.
lucky HARRIS seems to
Xxi think that the way to win
is to convince the Pirates
they're wrong about their alleged
preferences in the way of pitch
ing. They were said to murder
speed so Bucky showed them
some Of the real article with
Johnson serving it up. The
Corsairs are supposed to dote on
left-handers. Harris plans to
start Ruether, the veteran south
paw in one Of the games. Rue
Their is a money" player, shrewd
and crafty. He is reported to be
in splendid shape.
Rain today, which caused post
ponement of the scheduled game,
may change Washington plans.
1t is possible that Johnson might
go back against the Pirates Sat
urday.
Shotgun" Bennett, the fatalist
on the Ferndale football squad,
insisted on jersey No. 13. He got
it. We will all sit back now and
watch results. 1t is a good chance
for the skeptics' society to investi-
gate an old superstition.
S%E
~7LAYING conditions in
IT. Washington will be diff
ferent from those in Pitts
burgh. The right field wall is
1928 feet from home plate and the
fence is thirty feet high. There
are no new bleachers i'm right.
Temporary stands have been
placed in left and center.
If you remember, only one of
the five hOmers went into left
field at Pittsburgh. Four went
into the temporary right field
stands. This may. be an impOr-
tant factOr-and then again the
drives may go i'm another direc-
ton at Washington. One never
can tell.
TEE PLEZ) OLIVER, well
known in sport circles
II here, is having a run OF
hard luck. Old Lady Misfortune
is camping on Plezs trail. A while
back oliver was offered 5000 for a
police dog he owned. The offer
was refused and four days later
the valuable animal died.
Then Plez bought a $50 imported
English terrier. 1t was stolen a
few days later. But that's not all.
Last Saturday divers Nash
touring car was stolen and had not
been recovered up until noon to-
day. Old Lady Misfortune is
throwing "sevens" and "elevens"
at Plez In rapid fire order.
Oliver says he is going to get
an anchor and attach it to his
house and take out tornado, earth
quake and accident insurance.
