During the summer months
from three to a dozen tracks oper-
ate. During the winter from one
to five tracks are in daily action.
countless thousands of men and
women go to these tracks and bet
their money on the chances of
one horse to run faster than the
others in the races, six, seven or
eight at each track.
Millions, probably billions OF
dollars go from the player to the
bookmaker or layer" each year.
Can't Buck the Odds
And the player, if he plays ha-
bitually, hasn't chance to win.
Whether it's the housewife, bet
ting the 50 she's saved from her
grocery allowance, or the profes-
sional gambler, wagering hun
dreds, or thousands on a single
race, the player can't buck the
odds.
Smart" players will sit back
and laugh at that statement, but
facts will bear it out.
For every pittsburgh Phil" for
every Riley Grannon, or Palmer
House" Ryan, who operated sue
cessfully over a period of years,
there are million men and
women who lose much, OF little,
but always more than they can
afford, trying to beat the game
that is unbeatable.
Percentages in the betting,
natural hard luck in the running
of a race, make an unbeatable
combination in themselves. When
the chicanery, trickery, and man
ipulation that is exposed periodi-
cally in the conduct Of racing is
added to the natural hazards,
even the most optimistic and ha'
bitual horse player must sit back
and think.
Trickery at Its Best
Exposure recently of use of mar
cotics to dope" horses in more
than 200 races-made public by
raids by Federal agents on the
Arlington race track at Chicago,
one of the finest racing estab-
lishments in the World-shoWs
some of the trickery of racing at
it's best.
Race fans had a recent ex-
; ample of some of this knaVery
The old sponge trick was exer'
cised at Empire City. Robinson
Crusoe, half-brother to that
redoubtable sprinter, Osmand'
was the victim. Then there was
Conamore on a Long Island
track. Sponges stuffed up both
his nostrils.
But, temporarily, eliminate all
the crooked tricks, consider the
players chances in an honest
race, but under the conditions
; existing in New York, where
bookmakers instead of the pari
:, mutuel machines, determine the
odds paid if a player happens to
select a winner. Take the SIX

An Arbitrary Price
On the New York tracks the
bookmaker arbitrarialy makes the
"price"-sets the odds to be paid

odds, automatically, make the
; bookmaker the only winner of
the day.
Ten horses started in the first
race on that card. The closing

APPL|NG STARS
FOR CH|SOX

Up with the first ten in the
American League in batting is
young Luke App ing. the Chicago
White Sox shortstop. He is one
of the best infielders in the league
and his batting mark shows he is
dreaded at the plate. Luke is the
best hitting shortstop outside OF
Cronin in the circuit and last sum-
mer Cleveland could have had
him. The White Sox wanted to
put in an entire new infield, so
Appling was placed on the block,
but Cleveland refused to take him
and got Bill Cissell instead.
That break gave Appling the
chance of his lifetime and he will
not get away from the Sox now.
In Chicago he is regarded as the
best shortstop the team has had
since Buck Weaver was in his
prime there.
Cleveland is going to go along
with Knickerbocker as the regular
shortstop and Bad News Hale.
who started in his baseball life as
a third sacker, will be the regular
second baseman if he keeps up his
great work around the second
cushion. In addition Hale is a
dangerous hitter at the plate.
Cleveland gives Walter Johnson
credit for taking Hale off the
bench and putting him at second.

ROVER BITES
'CONTEND|NG
GOLFERS
BY HARRY COSTELLO.

Walter Hagen was beginning his
remarkable Detroit golfing career,
q wag among the spectators
created Rover, the biting golf dog,
who, is was alleged, grabbed
Hagen's match-play opponent by
the leg, or the nape Of the neck,
or the throat, just as the opponent
was about to defeat the Haig.
Well, yesterday, at the East
Potomac and at Rock Greek public
courses, Rover was rowing, and so
many times did he grab Harlan
Will and Claude Rippy that we
gave up counting after the num-
Der Of bites had reached ten on
each player and twenty for Rover.
Will is today the public links
champion Of the District, but he
tried masterfully to give the title
70 Rippy, only to find the latter
decidedly not in a mood Of &C
ceptance. Rover really should be
declared the champ.
Match Ends 1 Up
The final count of the 36-hole
championship match was up.
Had Rippy taken advantage Of all
the opportunities given by the new
champion, Rippy would have won
with plenty to spare. Had viii
taken advantage Of all the opor-
funitieS given by Rippy, Will would
have been declared champion at
che conclusion of q holes Of play,
possibly sooner.
At times during the playing Of
the 36-hole final, Will and Rippy
played excellent golf, but only at
Eimes.
On other occasions they played
golf which may only truthfully be
classified as terrible, since it was
OF the dub variety, and very dub
by, at that.
Starting the afternoon 18 at
Rock Creek with 2-hole advant-
age, gained in the morning 18 at
East Potomac, Will went 3 up at
the twenty-first. At the twenty
eighth tee he was still 3 up, but
he lost this hole. Alter they had
halved the twenty-ninth, Rippy
conceded the thirtieth, after he
had found the woods and encount-
cred difficulty beyond his ken as
golfer.
Some Bad Play
They halved the thirty-first and
Ehirty'second. Then came duffer
golf.
Will lost the thirty-third and
Ehirty-fourth holes, Rippy winning
the thirty-third with neat 6 for
the par 4 hole, against a neater
2 for Will.
The new champ proved his
mettle on the thirty-fifth, how
ever, and his supporters among
the galleryites forgave him all
$hat had gone before.
His tee shot on this short hole
eound a trap set well above the
ericky green, at the left of the
carpet. Will executed a Hagen
eSque explosion shot which ended
up about 2 feet from the pin, thus
proving that Will knows his shots,
gan play 'em and requires only
experience to bring himself to the
P0ACA!C1A oCC4Cuue o. SQdrp COM
eetitor. This brilliant bit of play
really saved Will all sorts of
Erouble and caused him to gain
p half and make the m tch
hormie.
When Will halved the thirty.
Pixth, after Rippy had executed
IN excellent chip shot to within
few feet Of the pin, the 19-year-
bld Will, son of greenskeeper,
hnd former bag toter, was the
1888 District public links cham
pion.
Rippy's play yesterday disap-
pointed a gallery decidedly favor
able to the Rock Greek champion,
which Rippy is.

custom themselves to pay as they go.
Pope Plus commented thus following
the cardinals observations that the de-
preston seemed to have brought reli-
gion home to the American people as
never before.
Following the audience, which lasted
an hour, the cardinal said the Pope dis
closed astonishing knowledge not only
of economic conditions in the United
States but also of the monetary situa-
ton.
Cardinal O'Connell gave the Pontiff
statistics showing an appreciable growth
of the Catholic population and activi-
ties in Boston. More than 125 new
parishes were established during his
tenure, he said. and there are now
1880, 900 Catholics in the Boston area.
Many new high schools and several
colleges have been built, he said
Cardinal O'Connell informed his holi-
ness that American municipalities we're
responding with unemployment relief
such as never before in American his
tory
The Pontif told the American he was
feeling fit and not at all tired by the
added duties of the Holy year.
The Pope was quoted as saying that
he is stimulated by the large pilgrim
ages to Vatican City.

Not One Liquor Law
Breaker in Jail and
Rules Are Ready

Providence, r. l., Nov 9-(UP)
Almost a month before prohi-
bition repeal becomes effective,
Rhode Island Is 100 per cent pre-
pared for the new wet regime, with
detailed regulations for liquor
control--and without a single
liquor law violator In Jail. Chair
man Patrick p. Curran of the
state alcoholic beverages commits
sion announced regulations which
provide that, after repeal:
Brewers may sell beer Of any al
cohollc content, and wholesalers
may sell all classes OF Intoxicating
liquors.
Class A retailers may sell all
kinds of liquors in retail quanti-
tieA in sealed packages.
hotels may sell all classes OF
liquors, but must sell distilled, or
partly distilled, liquors only for
consumption with meals on the
promises.
Licensed restaurants and club,
may sell all kinds of alcoholic bev-
erages except those containing dis
titled liquors.
saloons may dispense only alco-
holic beverages containing not
more than 3.2 per cent alcohol by

The absence OF liquor law viola

Painful Piles
Go Quick--No Cutting
No Slaves

Thousands of pile sufferers have
not yet learned that quick. safe and
lasting relief can be accomplished
with an internal medicine. Neither
salves nor supposltorles remove
the cause.
Bad circulation of blood In the
lower bowel causes piles. The hem
orrhoidal veins are filled with stag
nant blood, weak and flabby. To get
rid OF Pile misery an internal med
iclne should be used to stimulate
the circulation. heal and strength
on the weakened parts.
DIR J. 8. Leonhardt after years of
study found real internal pile
remedy. He called his discovery
HEM ROID, and after prescribing

markable record of success, decid-
ed every Pile sufferer might get his
prescription at their druggist with

DIR Leonhardts remedy 10 such
an effective one that It should help
you to quickly trade misery for
