NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-One
reason the All-Stars appeared
good against the Giants is that

Indians scored exactly the same
number of points against the

Lordy Must Have Token
WoIIop on Chin

Returning to his chair once more,
Pastor studied the program. A man
passed by and said, Hello"
How are your" said Pastor.
I made a careful note of this con-
versation. 1t seemed to make sense,
but you never can tell.
In the sixth race my quarry
played Little Risk, while invested
a deuce on Glorious Time. Little
Risk was the winner, Glorious Time
ran fourth. Before the last race
Pastor walked briskly toward a S.
window, then paused. So did I. He
glanced at the program again. So
did I. He bought a ticket on Sun
Mica. I played Microphobia. Sun
Mica closed fast and took it all.
Microphobia finished third.
I followed him back to his hotel
that evening, and took note of his
movements, but my heart wasn't in
it. From a careful study of the
days report, my conclusions are as
follows:
That at some time or other, I'M
known to Louis and myself, Louis
must have hit me on the chin.
AS far as the Conn-Pastor bout
goes, I think it will be close, with
Conn the winner by slight edge.
