Newsies but Spot Conlon and Racetrack Higgins’ roles have been reversed.
It’s the same but Spot Conlon is now one of the Manhattan Newsies and Racetrack Higgins is the “King of Brooklyn.” Spot used to be head of Brooklyn but retired to Manhattan and Race took over his position. When Jack and Davey go to meet Race in an attempt to convince him to join the strike they find him in Sheepshead Bay, eagerly watching the races.
