A PLUMP GAL

Annie wasn't as tall but,
Alexander gathered from his
first glimpse of her. she was
plump. But on that first
glimpse of her Alexander gave
no thought to her appearance.
What he thought was that a
woman was hanging, head
down, out OF a third-story
window.
She was being held there by
her two feet. which caught
and held either side of-tfe-
window. He decided after a
minutes observation, which
was prac cally lightning
thinking for Alexander, that
she couldn't hold there long.
About 200 other people in
a rapidly gathering crowd had
reached that opinion long be-
fore Alexander. They stood
in the street along the curb,
gaping.
Alexander didn't stand. He
judged the distance between
him and the girl. figured out
the arc of her inevitable fall
and took up his position on the
exact spot where she would
have to land when she lost
her toe-hold.

his hands held open with the
fingers pointing at each other
in the stance of the under
stander in a tumbling team.
The cop on the beat moved
in to chase Alexander out of
there but gathered the idea
of Alexander's intentions and
let him be. Instead he walked
back to the. crowd and began
pushing it away from force
of habit while he tried TO
think of what TO do next.
There was nothing in the
ordinance or the book of rules
that said anything about what
TO do when a woman was fall
ing out of a window.
Somebody had an idea about
who might know something
about such a situation and
rang a fire alarm. Five min
utes after Alexander had
come to full stop at the
arresting sight of garments he
had been used to seeing only
in lingerie ads, an engine and
a truck arrived. sending the
cop into a paroxyism of
efficiency. He was pushing
the crowd almost across the
street when Annie fell.

Revival in Charge
OF Able Veteran
Pimlico's (. J. Bremen
Held Well Qualified
To Steer Comeback
BY MORTIMER KREEGER,


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.-The
comeback of horse racing In New
Orleans largely is in the capable
hands of a veteran Eastern official
who firmly believes "the sport is the
thing and if that is provided at
track, the financial angles will take
care of themselves.
Edward j. Brennan, director Of
racing at the 42-day meet which a
new organization is conducting here

ued by the Louisiana Jockey Club,

Hagerstown and Marlboro and is
secretary in charge of steeplechas-
ing at Pimlico.
He also manages various tradi-
tional hunt meetings in Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.
So absorbed is he in racing as a
sport that he never bets. His posi-
ton keeps him from wagering when
he is officiating at meet, but he
doesn't bet on other races and says,
I've never missed it." Nor has he
ever owned racing horses himself.
Born in Baltimore At years ago
Eddie Brennan at the age Of two

course where his father was track
superintendent.
