and-a-half furlongs at the old

No horse ever ran the distance as

swept a racing program three diff

Miller's top accomplishments in

bring home five winners in five
mounts at Benning washington
in April of 1906-but there were
six races run; five winners in as
many mounts at Brighton Beach
New York; in July of 1906-but
seven races were on that program;
five winners out of five mounts at
Benning Washington a few
months later-again six races
were run, and five winners out of
five mounts on another six-race

in 1907.

Applying last week for the

Legion has been met with the
answer by the Boxing Commits
sion that one of its members is
on a vacation and will not be

more.
A meeting Of the commission,
therefore, can't be held to act
on the Legion request, according

If the local commission can't
function when one member is

It is true that the Legion re-
quest came at a time when q
previous member Of the boxing
commission was being buried.
However, his successor was
appointed before the now absent
member went on vacation and
even then a chairman was not
named.
Is this delaying tactics a ges-
ture to sidetrack the Legion?
