Florida Seeks ‘Biscuit Races

Two Rich Purses Offered to Lure Horse to South.

MIAMI, Dec. 19 (U. P).—A shot at two $50,000 purses is the bait being used to lure Seabiscuit, handicap champion of 1938, to Florida this winter. Victory in either would make the Biscuit the greatest money winner the turf, has known. The idea is to give Seabiscuit two chances to boost his earning mark above Sun Beau's all-time record of $375,480 and prevent Owner Charles S. Howard from shipping him to California for the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 4. Seabiscuit already has made $340,480, and needs only $35,000 more to equal the record. Plans are under way, it was learned, to stage either a rematch

or an invitational race for the country’s six leading thoroughbreds two weeks before the $50,000 Widener Challenge Cup on March 4—ihe other half of the proposed program.

Good footwork means partly that the start, approach, steps, and slide are the same for every ball, the exception being when spares are left involving pins on the righthand corner of the alley for righthanded bowlers or on the lefthand corner for lefthanded bowlers. Some prefer to move to the right corner when attempting to pick spares on the left side, reasoning that the more surface taken for the ball, the more certain they are to cover the spare. The weight should be balanced on
