Bob and Ray take their time during the Wonderland dog racetrack spot on this show because it appears they realise the show's over but they have five minutes to fill. They find a way, thanks partly to banter about Bob's summer squash, which appeared on one of the programmes. Since you're wondering, Twilight Harmony won the featured 9th at Wonderland, paying 34.00 12.40 and 7.00. Ray's favourite, Ace's Boomer, also ran. It's raining outside the studios of WHDH but the Red Sox played and beat the Browns 12-2 that day to sweep a series. The two certainly liked to do a Chinese parody of John J. Anthony as it's heard on several programmes. This time, Bing Crosby becomes Bing Brown in the tag promo (he was Bing Barlow on another show), following the 6 pm news with Leo Egan. And remember, that's Chicken, Box 10, WHDH, Boston.
