was TO take two out OF the three.
Josslyn was officiating for the Grays
and 1t was no fault of his thwlriing that
the team did not win. for he held the
locals at all times very safe having the

Walcotts work last night showed that
he had done no boxing for a long time.
He was bad on his feet and directed
most OF his punches poorly.
When one considers what Waicott has
been through in the past two or three
years his performance last night was
remarkable. He broke his left arm in
a tight with Cans and put a bullet
through his right hand. Then he has been

any training.

He did not escape returns. for Dough

RACING BOARD
BEFORE COURT

The case involving the fight between
the commission appointed by the state OF
Kentucky TO regulate races and race dates
IN that state and the Douglass PARK
Jockey club of Louisville. Ky. was ar
gued yesterday at Cincinnati in the Init
Cd states circuit court OF appeals
The case is OF special interest 40 New
Workers because the courts will decide
whether racing commission appointeJ
by the governor OF a state is a legal
body. The point has never been brought
before the courts. The case arose in
April when the Douglass Park Jockey
club asked the commission for racing
dates from May - 20 June H. The com
mission, which Is composed OF Charles
l.. Granger OF Louisville. Louis Des Cog
nets OF Lexington, Jack" Chinn of uar-
rodsburg, Milton Young of Lexington and
T.. +. Clay OF Paris, KY. refused to grant
the club racing dates. giving as IT'S rea-
son the fact that the dates asked for
had been given for races at Iatonia.
The commission refused 10 grant the
dates asked for, and the club brought
injunction proceedings against Il In tho
United States district court AZ Louis
Vile and secured an order preventing the
commission from interfering with the
carrying on OF races on those dates
ihe CaHt was appeared 10 tne United
States Circuit court OF appeals. The fight
is one between the Western Jockey club
and the American Turf association The
Douglass Park Jockey club Is a member
OF the Western Jockey club and Latonia
is "A member OF the American Turf asso-
ciation. During the progress OF the case
the Western Jockey club and the Ameri-
can Turf association reached an agree
ment as 20 dates at those tracks incolte cd
in the fight. The only thing which can
come out OF the care, therefore, n the
courts decision az TO whether or not the
commission is leRal
