About Kirk Crothers

Kirk Miller, Times sports edi-
tor, is named after DR.. Eli Kirk
Crothers, father Of Rachel Gro
theirs, playwright and author Of
"When Ladies Meet" It seems
that DR.. Crothers was the highly
esteemed Miller family physician,
and when the budding sports edi-
tor arrived on the scene he was
named Kirk Crothers Miller. -Jat-
urally, Editor Miller sees all the
Crothers plays. He was present
with Mrs. Miller last night for
the Roosevelt ceremonies e.

President Roosevelt seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the play. I
noticed that he joined in the in
dividual acclaim that the audi
ence gave to Spring Byington in
the middle of her second act hui
morS. Between the acts the Chief
Executive was the magnet for all
eyes. lorgnettes and opera glasses.
At the final curtain the company
bowed gracefully to the Execu-
tive box, which, by the way, is
the last box on the left of the
theater. While Chris Arth's band
played Hail to the Chief" he pre-
pared to leave and was given a
tremendous round of handicap
ping and some cheers. The IA
nous Roosevelt smile came out
again and he waved to the gal
leries and to the orchestra, too.

Manager steve Cochran yielded
the honor of escorting the Exc

Talbert claims there is a way Of

at the Talbert efficiency.
Nancy Sheridan was in the au-
dience with her sister, Mrs. Penn.
The latter changed her Pullman
reservations for Seattle last night
to remain over and enjoy an
evening at the play with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. She said it was
worth it.

including the Scandinavian.
I arrived in time for the
first race, and I found that a
horse called Mansfield was rum
ming in that particular event.
Mansfield having been a great
actor and Hellinger once hav-
ing played Loew's State, I fig.
ured that q definite hunch.
So I placed q fairly good bet
on Mansfield. There was an
other reason, too, why I bet
on that horse. In the entire
field it was the only name I
could pronounce.
According to the booklnakers'
figures, Mansfield was q long
shot. So, being wise in the
ways Of the world, I played
him to place-place, in this
land, meaning that you win
whether the horse comes Sec
ond or third. But in my ex-
citement I went to the wrong
window. And when I returned
to the stand, I found that
had bet everything on Mans
field to win.
AS a thrill that comes once
in a lifetime, Mansfield won
the race by two lengths and
paid a little better than 24-to-1.
I collected enough money to
pay for my entire trip through
India.
BY the end Of the third race,
however, I had only enough
winnings left to take me half
way through India. BY the
end Of the fifth race, I had
only won enough to pay my
hotel bill in Bombay. And
when the card was completed
I had to borrow my cab fare
home.
