BOWIE / EALSO
HAS HIGH
MARK
BY PADDOCK

At what track in Maryland did
St1e greatest percentage of
favoriteS step home at any one
meeting in the last IL years?
That question had me puzzled
Tor moment, but through the
aid Of the telephone, talks with
the various track superintendentS
and some hours spent on records
at home, it was brought to light
that Laurel furnished the best
average in 1919, when .48 per
cent Of the favorites entered the
winners circle.
The cold dope shows that
Laurel furnished the greatest
percentage Of favorites in 1918,
1919, 1928 and 1927. Pimlico led
in 1921, 1925 and last year, while
1t shared top place with Havre de
Grace In 1928. Havre de Grace
finished on top in 1920 and 1924,
with Bowie grabbing the honors
= 1922 and 1923.
My opinion on the subject
IL that Laurel, due to its
having % consecutive days
racing in October, has q little
the best Of the percentage
fight.
Horses are at tops in October,
and, as every stable is shooting
from taw at all times in an effort
TO lay by winter money, a greater
percentage of favorites should be
uncovered at Laurel than any
other State mile track.

season and has no real form to

raOing all winter and in many
instances worn out will be buck

and who furnish no true line to

CARDINAL QU|N7
:. HOPES To WIN

Cathilic U. has hopes Of ending
its long losing basketball streak
when they entertain the toSsers
of Johns Hopkins in the Brook
land gym in one Of the two col
lege games here, tonight. The
Cards haven't won a game since
before Christmas, but feel they
have an even chance of outpoint-
ing the Blue Jays. mainly through
the improved offensive work of
Capt. Joie Walsh and Hanley.
In the other local game tonight
George Washington is host to
Salem College of West Virginia.
The latter was outpointed last
night by American u, 80 to 26,
when Capt. Reds Olsen staged a
0ne-man offenSe that was mainly
responsible for the Eagles victory.
Olsen was finding the range from
all angles, scoring six fielders and
q foul toss. The visitors showed
plenty Of fight and may force the
Colonials to the limit.
Maryland obtained revenge
last night for an earlier de.
feat from North Carolina
State when it defeated the
GamecOcks. 21-19, exactly the
same margin by wEliiCh they
lost In the previous game. To-
night the Terraptns meet
