Today's Sports Parade

I worked like a man possessed. And
I am possessed am possessed OF
more information about all the
horses that are going to run today
than you could shake stick at, if
you are daffy enough TO shake a
stick at information. Confidentially
I shook a stick at an information
once-the information man in the
Grand Central station in New York
and it got me in a passel of trou-
BILE.
But to get back to what about
the rs horses running at Santa
Anita today. I would be alarmed if
any one Of those horses knew as
much about me as I know about
him. My past performances would
not stand going over, even by a
horse. Imagine how a well bred
horse would feel if he picked UP
my form chart and read this:

at the start, he closed fast-three
places. In trouble al the quarter
to-three pole and refused to re-
spond to urging Near home he
faltered badly. but was sure when
he went TO bed that his number
was up.
This is what a horse would know
about me if some one ran a human
racing form, though it only covers
one early morning workout I'm
agine what know about those
horses. I know everything that has
happened TO them for years. so
if I don't have a winner today Il
won't be for lack OF sound informa-
ton.

Galento will hit Brescia with one
of those terrific left hooks along

indeed, because young Brescia

The surprise that Livingstone felt

been very great.
But it could not have been
greater than my surprise when

doubtless know, is a person not

With the whole world to choose

Let's stop a minute to contradict
a few eastern sports writers. Mon
day the eastern sports writers ad-
vised professional football teams
10 refuse Los Angeles petition for
entrance into the national league
because Of the poor crowd which
turned out to see the all-star foot
ball game Sunday afternoon.
It makes little difference either
way to me but It seems a Bit un-
fair TO condemn the Los Angeles
entry into the professional football
league because of Sundays puny
|crowd.
In the first place football sea-
son has been over for nearly two
months and as a result fans have
Host interest in the game.
In the second place an-star
|games do not draw large crowds
unless a local team is involved in
| the struggle. A game between the
New York Giants and the Los An
geles Bulldogs might have drawn
capacity crowd because Los An
geles has been following the for
| tunes of the Bulldogs.
Eastern sports writer's were look

team and its chances to enter the
professional league. They did that
and their efforts may keep Los
