be advisable to sell them. They may
go higher, of course, but it is such

HOW'RE YOU BETTING

THOSE loose old days, before
l. betting was considered illegal,
brought considerable wagering on
the results of presidential cam
paigns-the amounts at stake fire.
quently totalling millions.
It was back in that era, 1908 to
be specific, that brokers making
book on the election actually record
ed $4,000 to / against the chances
of one of the candidates. The long
shot entry was Eugene v. Debs,
perennial Socialist candidate.
That same campaign demonstrate
ed that the professional odds-layers
knew considerable about their bust
ness. In September, 1908, Taft was
the 2 to favorite over Bryan;
by October the odds heightened to
3 to l and on election day Taft's
chances were rated at to /, with
few takers.
Anyone who believes the pro-
fessional wagerers are infallible
should thumb back the record to
1916 when it is estimated from five
to ten million dollars changed
hand on the result.
Wilson and Hughes were the
leading contenders, with Wilson on
the inside track because he was
up for reelection. In September,
1916, the financial district in New
York was betting 2 to on Hughes.
In October the odds were 10 to
z and even money was placed the
day of election.
Closeness of the contest, in doubt
for days until California returns
moved into the Wilson column,
perhaps was excuse for the error
in judgment by the financiers.
They may be wrong again in
1886 but perhaps it would Je well
for readers to confine themselves
to freak bets, if any at all are
made. Perhaps the most ingenious
of these occurred in that same 1916
election.
A man, apparently three sheets
in the wind, strolled into COM
missioner's office, bet SIS he could
name 20 states Wilson would car
ry. He then bet $40 he could name
ten additional states. Then he Of
fered $40 he could name still an
other 10 states.
"And now," he announced, "here's
$50 says I can name eight states
more for Wilson,"
When the rush to take him sub
sided, the bettor, miraculously So
bered, named his states. The
''pitch" of his game was that he
reserved eight states of the solid
South as the block on which the
$50 wager was laid. He could not
fail to win at least $751;

ALLISON OF IOWA

EIRST honors for looming close"
4 to the presidency, although he
is minus even the standing of an
"also-ran," must be awarded Will
liam B. Allison of Iowa.
Allison's doubtful honor came to
him at the Republican convention
of 1888, which ended finally with
the nomination of Benjamin Harri-
son, later elected President.
Delegates to the convention had
balloted Intellectually for several
candidates when a four-hour recess
was taken to permit a counting of
noses. Delegates from New York,
Illinois, California, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Iowa
and Missouri, went into conference.
Representatives from each Of
these states were practically en-
powered to act for the entire state
delegation. Senator Hoar of Mass
achusetts spoke in favor of ALI
son of Iowa after several of the
candidates had been discussed. It
was finally agreed that Allison's fit
ness for the high job was apparent
and that he should get the support
of the comforting states.
New York state had been repre-.
sented, however, by only three OF
it's four delegates-at-large. The
three who agreed on Allison failed
to reckon with their absent col
league, Chauncey Depew, the
rapier-worded banqueteer.
Depew was president of rail.
road at the time. He had been
supported as candidate but was
forced to withdraw because OF
farm belt opposition to the rail-
roads. Much of the opposition to
him had come from Iowa and so
he turned thumbs-down on Allison.
Subsequent events proved that if
Depew had not baked, the con-
ferring states would have nominal
ed Allison and he would have been
elected President in place of Har-
rison.
The ironical part of this personal
catastrophe is that Allison's stature
measured fully as high as the job
demanded. He had moved out to
Iowa as a young lawyer, served
eight years in the lower house of
congress and, beginning in 1872,
was a United States senator from
the Tall Corn state for an unbroken
period of 35 years.

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:

Jimmy Johnston, the Garden
boxing promoter who returned from
abroad, brought along an English
bulldog for Jimmy Walker. May
be it's because he has the most
time, but John Sloan seems the
most enthusiastic of all racing COM
missiOners. He's giving Bowie his
very best personal attention right
now. Gossip persists that Buck
O'Neill, the very wealthy insurance
man, will again take over SYRIA
cuse's football troubles with Jack
Mcbride, the pro star, doing the
heavy coaching. Vic Hanson, the
rumOr-mOngers say, will succeed
Wilder Tasker at Rutgers. Claire
Shillington and Eddie O'Keefe,
members Of last years hockey Row
ers, were left on the dock when the
English team they had planned to
join cancelled transportation be-
cause of faulty amateur registra-
ton.
Chick Meehan has done such a
grand football coaching job that
Manhattan, with small student
body and only 1000 living alumni,
now draws crowds of 10000 on Sat
urdays. Jockey Sammy Renick
is an accomplished singer. The
reason you do not hear him more
often is that when band leaders try
to hook him up as guest star he
counters with the suggestion that
they lay some velvet on the line.
Sidat Singh, New York-reared
Hindu now a sOph at Syracuse, will
be one of the stars of the great bas-
ketball team which will perform at
the university this season. !.
Cappy Wells, who made West Point
one of the nations most popular
football teams, is assisting the Six
teenth Infantry and the First Engi-
neers in letting the public know
about the game they will play at
Ebbets Field on November 20. This
means the game will be high class
one and deserves to be a sellOut.

A/HAT you get 1Or cnlt-cnattinS
w with that celebrated boxing
writer and recently returned glove
trotter, AFFORD Cleaveland Buck:
Andy Niederriter and Lou Burston
now in Europe, are attempting to
interest Jeff Dickson in promot-
ing boxing next summer at Ebbets
Field. Dickson, rumor to the con-
trary, still hangs on at the Palais
des Sports, Paris, where his next
big fistic attraction will be the Mar
eel Thil-Lou Brouillard battle in
January for the European version
of the worlds middleweight cham
pionship. Cleto LocatelG, the Ital-
ian welterweight, is now in Paris.
Andre Routis, former feather
weight champion, has cafe in Par
is, not unlike Mickey Walkers, on
a corner opposite the Palais DIES
Sports. Georges Carpenter, the
old Orchid Man, owns and operates
a cocktail bar in the French cap
ital. Boxing in Paris, as else
where, is suffering from a lack of
talent.
According to Dickson, his old
love, Sonia Henie will skate back to
him in January. The two hockey
teams, representing the Palais des
Sports, have been transferred to
London. Dickson was paying for
the Canadian players in Ameri-
can dollars and the devaluation of
the franc made it too expensive.
Still they call it amateur hook
ey. His next venture will be in
dog racing, a sport popular at both
Wembley and Earls Court, Lon
don.
Dickson quit promoting boxing in
Albert Hall, London, because of the
1880 free seat holders, who though
earls and dukes, frequently let their
tickets get in the bands of spec
ulatOrs. The specs, picking the
free ducats up for song, then UNI
derseIl the box office. Born in Mis-
sissippi, Dickson remains the most
colOrful promoter ON the other side
of the Atlantic. At the moment,
Arthur ]. Elvin of Wembly Pool is
the most successful. Elvin is now
negotiating for a worlds fyweight
championship battle between Benny
Lynch, the English claimant, and
Small Montana, the Filipino.
You can dine while watching the
International Hockey League teams
play at Wembley. The same is
true when the dogs run, or when
boxing is the attraction. Wrest-
ling is popular now, both in Lon
don and Paris.
