Preparations
For Raeeways
Fall Meeting

Toledo Fort Miami Raceway',
big fall meeting still is months
off but, even as snow swirl
down on the suburban Toledo
track, preparations are under
way for the Sept. 11-Oct. 81 get
together of the thoroughbreds.
More than 100000 in i'm
provements will be added to the
100000 already invested in the
racing plant, according to Presi-
dent Sam Corsovano. Among i'm
provements due are a new drain
age system, expanded showers
and facilities for horsemen, re-
novation of the clubhouse and
grandstand and Identification OF
the infield.
The 1850 meet will be the sew
enth meeting since the Raceway
began operations five years ago.
An October meeting in 1916
highlighted the getaway card
and split meetings were held in
1947 and 1948. Last year a full
44-night meet was run off in
summer.
This year Cordovano and his
associates will settle on a full
scale fall meeting, having deter
mined this is preferred by the
public of the Toledo area.
Chances are that efforts will al
ways be made to keep a fall
meeting at Fort Miami.
Both the mile and half-mile
track will be used this season
with the mile oval being recon
ditioned and lighted. It was over
this stretch in the past that some
of the greatest standard breds
of another era raced to fame and
fortune.

evening
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-02-03

The Monroe, Mich. slugger
proved he Is ready to meet
the best as he handed the
New York veteran the first
kayo of his career. Alfonso is
not the cleverest boxer in the
game but certainly makes up
for it with a savage hard-hit-
ting attack.
We were happy to see the
hid come out successful in his
first big time bout as he Is a
definite crowd-pleaser and has
the ability to maybe some day
reach the top of the middle
weight class,
Another minor surprise was
the l0-round knockout OF Lew
Jenkins, former lightweight
king OF the world. II looks as
though jenkins, who has been
boxing for more than a decade,
has just about come TO the end
of the road
Although the Texas swinger
started slow he seemed TO get
better until the curtain dropped
in the final frame.
Archie Moore's close win over
the clever Bert Lytell should put
the Toledosn in line for a title
bout OF some kind. Moore has
beaten everything in sight and
definitely deserves shot at
the light heavyweight crown.

A Few Tips
For Bowlers

Don't hurry yourself, relax at
all times, especially when the
ball leaves the hand.
Don't start to deliver with a
jump, take three or four fast
steps.
Never lose your temper; spirit
is a fine thing but bad temper
in bowling is unforgivable.
Don't, expect a strike every
time you hit the head pin; clean
up your spares If you want your
strikes to count up.
Don't think the other fellow
has all the luck; plug away!
Things will change.
Don't get discouraged; you
can learn; and able-bodied per-
son with ordinary nerves and
good eye can become quite ex-
pert with practice.
Remember if you get the
spares the strikes will come
Don't tell any one what you
are going to do. Wait until after
the game and tell them what
you did do, if it's good.
