In those days a frowsy bought one ticket and stayed all week; it was an inexpensive method of keeping warm; sociable and slightly alcoholic. Nowadays the new Madison Square Garden is cleared out early each morning. Also, society has now discovered the six day race. "Get your gloves on, Shelmerdene, we're going to be boisterous at the bicycle races." That sort of thing depresses Charlie Miller...
