recommend that the south and west go
| ahead and hold Sunday race meets. The
racing boards af the south and west are
in favor of Sunday racing, but cannot
give sanctions for such races as the
constitution will not permit it, but they
are not much inclined to notice the
| boys or be hard on them if they should
| be reported. The board thinks that
| by doing this the l.. A. w. will be
willing to allow Sunday racing at the
next general assembly meet. as by that

| it must be either Sunday racing or Sc
