I that Gunder Hagg who violated the old code by working for nothing but expenses and doughnuts. Is the greatest runner in the world. Incidentally on his american tour Hagg let it be known that his name is pronounced the same As in the famous old cough Medicine. Hafg and Hagg with tile umlauts on the House. 2 that if the St. Louis cardinals do not win the National league Pennant by Twenty games they should be ashamed of themselves. Presidential tipster 3. That the next president of the United states is Apt to be somebody who knows the Winner of the third race at Aqueduct. The vote. Barring a sudden insure of idlers from abroad will be in the hands of horse players because practically All americans at hour Are now horse players. Let us expatriate upon the Agenda one by one. Giving Point no. I a it nce Over lightly because space in thin and so is Hagg. Under strange and difficult conditions this Hasty portion of smorgasbord beat every available american runner a toe pleased at every distance they asked him to run and in times never before equalled in America. His Pace was so Swift and his merciless form so flawless that or Drew a former also ran named Bill Hoise to the fastest outdoor mile e ver run by an american but behind the Gunder. About those cardinals. I do of a wish to offend Loyal Bro Fuyii cha1 meters in this area being a but Man myself but the can is stood out like a Light when the season began and still do. This was True Long before Branch Rickey. World s most celebrate connoisseur of rare Dollar web fins and saw Bucks began to sell the likes of Newsom Camilli. And Allen just before payday. The cardinals lost plenty of Good men by draft but for every one they kit they had another just about As Good coming up. This is the fruit of old Parson Rickey a sowing. He is about to win another Pennant for St. Louis and maybe in a couple of years he will win one for Brooklyn. Gambling increases a gambling note a sordid ton a seems to have crept into this manifesto which started out As pure As a weasels breath. That s easy to explain. You cannot be exposed to american influence without thinking of gambling these Days. On saturdays at a new York race track for instance the crowd bets two and a half million dollars like breaking eggs. The weekday handle is never below a million any More. You remember that in the old peacetime Days when three or four people gathered together for sociable conversation the talk turned to cultural topics like How Beethoven a next number would sell and what was the influence of James Joyce on the Boll Weevil. And How to tie a sheep Shank knot. And things like that. The wholesome. Scholarly things. But not now. Now scientific and literary groups Ere pointing out that clocker Armstrong had four winners at Belmont yesterday and Wor Dering what the clocker eats for breakfast. If you can beat tomorrows card you hold the Lei French expression meaning key to the upper brackets of society. If you Don t want the key you can turn it in. But there it is. I space does not permit me to draw a moral which is All for the Best
