POLLY AND HER PALS ARE HEARD IN 38 PENNANT RACES Cubs Seem Hanging It On Pirates—Boston Red Sox Are Making Fast Spurt (By Associated Press) Two big noises are heard in the “ivory” business these chilly after- noons. One of the noises comes from Chi- cago where the Cubs are hanging it on the Pirates as they did yes- terday afternoon on Gabby Hart- neft’s ninth inning home run. The Cubs took a half game lead over the Pirates in the sensational pen- nant race. The other noise comes from which ever park is entertaining the Bos- ton Red Sox. The Red Sox won another game yesterday from the Athletics. The Red Sox are now leading the Am- erican League in batting with .299 to boast six hitters above the .300 mark. The Red Sox have won 17 games out of the last Joe Krakauskas, the Washington Senator’s lefthander, beat the Yanks yesterday with a five-hit game.

Miquelon’s listed owner is the trainer, Ike Pearlstein, but jockey room gossip names mu- sical comedy star as the true boss. On the day of the fabulous vic- tory, Pearlstein was aware that his horse had a chance. Unfortunately, however he lacked the funds to profit by his knowledge. He hope- fully circulated among the bettors, confiding to friends that Miquelon was “hot.” With few exceptions they spurned his “inside dope preferring to be guided by the bookmakers' figures. Forty-to-one odds are almost conclusive evidence that the horse is a stiff. By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—The pres- ence of so many Whitneys, Van- derbilts, Wideners and other first families among the owners of rac- ing stables has led to the belief that the turf is the complete pos- se: n of the wealthy, Which is far from the case. The percentage of one-horse stables, operated on the traditional shoe-string, is ex- |tremely high. And many of them run their single chargers on the best tracks, too—those referred to as “the big apples. Legalization of racing in so mary states—from seven to 27 in the past decade—has increased the demand for horseflesh. Even the major tracks must find room for cheap races, and it is toward these that the modest owners point their en- Miquelon ot course triumphed easily, and Times Square that night was filled with breast-beaters.

Even Pearlstein, contrary to the fiction and movie versions of such things, made only a scant clean-up. Another item about a lowly stable owner further attests it as a poor man’s sport. A hangeron at one of the more popular restaurants, who seems chronically out of money, has a horse running at the local courses. Asked how he can afford to main- tain a stable, meantime pleading embarrassment in the matter of his own rent, the sportsman explained: ‘Tt costs me $100 a month to stable this horse, and by entering him I am entitled to an owner’s badge of admission to all tracks. There are 26 racing days a month, hence T would have to pay $130 to get into the tr . I save $30 a month as an owner, and sometimes I even win a purse with my nag.” [EGT AT (T THouoRT T T wWAS A Qu\cxj\iz:aw A LTe] KICK FOR- EXERCISE / MATION / i UESTION: What constitutes’ a “quick kick?"” Answer: A punt is considered’ a “quick kick” when the ball i¥ kicked from a close up position, usually about five yards behind the line of scrimmage. The elem ment of surprise is its greates advantage, hence it usually is executed on an early down, the idea being to kick over the safety man’s head. (Copyright, 1938) MRS.
