THEY'RE OFF" AT JENNINGS
Eastern Racing Season Opens at Washington Track.


 Washington, March 23.-The eastern racing season opened at the Bennings track. Indications point to some excel- lent sport. It is expected that there will be no serious interference with the betting system-the walk around method-which was pronounced legal the other day by Judge Stafford. While the antibetting people have been talk ing of wholesale arrests, it is said that the district attorney believes that such move would not lear fruit in view of the recent favorable court decision.
 Horsemen from all the winter tracks are on the ground, while others who have been getting their stables ready at the Long Island tracks are also in evidence.
 AS usual, the seasoned horses from New Orleans, Los Angeles and Oak land will find much support for the reason that the candidates from the east will hardly be on edge for gruel- ling tests.
 The feature of today's card is the Bennings spring handicap at six fur longs, fer which seventeen horses have been named to sport silk. Of this list the smart people have selected George odom's good sprinter Oraculum, also Berkeley and Bellwether, as the dan gerous factors, as these racers are known to be fit. It is possible that Oraculum will close favorite in the betting, with Berkeley and Bellwether not far behind in point of support.
