F FAIRFAX FACES
WAGE ROW

Members of the National Labor
Board of Review today will study
charges that skilled laborers on
the Fairfax County schools are not
being paid under the proper wage

These charges, which follow on
the heels of similar complaints
about Montgomery County in
Maryland which resulted in a vic
tory for labor, came to light today
when labor union said skilled
laborers are being paid at the rate
of $1.10 an hour. The union claims
that bricklayers should receive
SITS per hour and marble cutters
$3.50 under the union scale.
Under the ruling of the Labor
Board Montgomery county Of
ficials will be forced to pay al
most $4,000 additional on the

pugnacious italian, returns to
Washington in a main event role

That Szabo will rule popular

out via a disputed fall to the

He is a dangerous hitter, eS-

more than an average fielder,
Karl Nau grabbed left field

ticket that shows where you
bet and what you can expect
to win, and in general make it
easier to lose your money than
any place we have ever found
except the mutuel tracks, which
have reduced taking your dough
to a science.
Another thing about these
trotting horse layers of odds,
most of whom seem to be vet
Grams, is that they COntriVe to
keep their equanimity and good
humor even in the face of a
dollar bet in a crush of pros
peCtive customers. The bookies
of the big apple" are vir-
tually all holdovers from the
oral days, which were also the
days when a 81 bet was some
thing for the old ladies up in
the top of the stands.
Those days, worse luck, are
gone forever. When racing
finally does come back to what
it should be in New York State,
it will be everybody's sport, and
that means the occasional viSi-
tor as we'll as the regular.
All the supporters of these
trotting tracks are more or less
occasional, of course. since they
do not have long meetings in
one place and so the books
have to take them as they
come, and treat them courte-
ously if they want the bust
ness.
But first they have to have a
proper Set-up and Goshen
proven yesterday how easy that
is to arrange. They set up
little picket fence booths with
the inside men seated inside
the box to handle the money,
the seller on the platform on
one side, and the pay-off man on
the inside of the box on the
other.
Thus, you bet, get your ticket,
and if you won. walked around
to the other side of the little
booth and got your money.
Nothing could be easier or
simpler, or less complicated to
the uninitiated. And to this the
fact that the odds were printed
plainly on big states, straight,
place and show. and you have
all that is necessary for conven-
lent betting on the horses under
the bookmaker system.
But the New York race tracks
have now been fooling around
since May without working it
out successfully. Why?
How Mr.. BoWser spends his
profits.
Although he had no horses en-
tered on yesterdays Hambleton-
ian card, Paul Bowser, the Bos-
ton wrestling impreSario, is one
Of the biggest owners of harness
horses in the East.
In this way Mr. BOWser makes
his vocation and pleasure dove
tail admirably. He can buy
hay for his horses in the sum-
mer and feed whatever he has
left to his paohyderms in the
winter.
But even on the trotting
track, Bowser's luck holds.
They say he has some promis-
ing young performers in his
string and his Tara, which won
at Goshen on Tuesday. is right
up there with the best in her
class.

CORUM,E
H0mbLetOnidn Stake
PrOUes a Long Race
1t Lasts FiUe Hours
BY BILL CoRUM

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. 10.
They say that you cannot have
your cake and eat it, but the
harness horse people come close
to doing it. They put on one
big race, one day a year-the
famous $4,000 Hambletonian
Stake-but they make it last
all day.
Perhaps you never heard of
a horse race that lasted from
lunch until dinner time, but
that's exactly what the HANDLE
tonian did before some 10000
persons at Billy Canes Good
Time Track here yesterday.
They started it with the first
heat shortly after two o'clock
and three horses still were trot-
ting for the $13,506.8l first
prize when darkness settled
over the little valley on the out
skirts of Goshen. But while their
dinners grew cold and their
relatives no doubt wondered
what had become of them, the
addictS stayed on to the bitter
finish.
Your harness horse enthus-
last is a hardy soul and five
steady hours of scoring and
racing is not too much for him.
So he still was there in the
cleaning when Lord Jim, a
strapping bay colt from the
West, came down on the out
side to put Princess Peg away
on "a break" and win the
coveted stake going away.
Princess Peg was a tired and
beaten, although game, little
filly at the end and faded away
to be third among the three that
answered the last bell. Muscle
tone, the Kentucky entry, took
second money.
Lord Jim and Muscletone
were driven by the Parshall
brothers, DR.. H. M. and Daryl,
respectively. and so they wound
up making this Hambletonian
something of family triumph.
Lord Jim is owned by E. L.
Mefford, of Columbus, Ohio.
The winner trotted the fourth
and final heat of the thrilling
and long drawn out race in
2:04A for the mile.
Different Towns, Different Laws
Although officials of the New
York tracks still insist on con-
Quoting betting operations in a
highly sub rosa and uncomfort-
able manner, there is no such
foolishness at the trotting
races here.
Apparently the New York
State laws are different in Sar-
atoga or in New York city and
Goshen. Either that or the rae
ing folks insist on seeing hob
COLLINS that have no existence
in fact. 1t may be that tbs
followers of the thoroughbred
have talked out of the corners
of their mouths so long that
they can't break themselves of
the habit.
In any case, one trial will
convince that it is twice as
easy and pleasant to get a bet
down here as it is at Saratoga,
Belmont or Aqueduct.
The bookmakers are up on
stands. They handle bets Of
anv size rapidly. Give YOU a
