Show TOD SLOAN IS NOW A BOOKMAKER Apropos of Young Corbetfs attempt to regain his former physical condition may be mentioned the attempt of James Tod-hunter Tod-hunter Sloan, long America's premier Jockey, to leap at a bound to the fore again after ysars of flitting up and down paths other than long and narrow. Tod rode his first race In three years at New Orleans Saturday. His showing, although on the horse picked as a winner, win-ner, was so puerile and amateurish that the Judges seriously contemplated hauling haul-ing film up on the carpet. Aa a result Tod left the saddle for good, and now, accompanied by his habitual long, black cigar, he changes odds on the bookmaker bookmak-er s block with Riley Grannon. The old adage In the song Is still a truism. It Isn't what you were. It's what you are today. . John Barleycorn Is still King. |
