BOWIE Md, April 1.-THE, thorouEh-
bred racing season of 1915 on the Eastern
tracks will begin here this afternoon with
the Running of the Inaugural Handicap
and six other races ft
The Southern Maryland Agricultural
Association has fallen heir to the place In
the racing schedule that once belonged to
Bennings, and will usher in what promises
to be the most brilliant season since 1907
The track is greatly improved since last
year and there are more than 500 horses.
in the barns here awaiting the bugle call
More than half the thoroughbreds have
been racing on the Southern tracks, and
the rest have wlntered here and at Ben
nings. There will be no difficulty. there
fore, in filling the card Of seven races
every day, and plenty of keen sport is In
sight.
Last fall the Southern Maryland Agri-
cultural Association offered many races
over q distance of ground, and the policy
of making the horses go a route will be
continued -,r
II was feared that the Inaugural Handi-
cap was going to suffer for want of START
ers on account of the backward condition
of the horses but 1t has brought out half
a dozen smart ones. and under the weight
arrangement II should be a first-class cun-
test. @. Mullers Flittergold, the horse
bought from August Belmont last fall,
occupies the post OF honor with 112 pounds
as his burden. Broomsedge, one that
George Phillips today sold to s. E. T.
Zollicoffer, under whose silks he will race,
is required to take up lo5 pounds.
Another race on the program that Is OF
decided interest Is the four-furlong dash
for 2-year-old maidens. Ten have been
named, and IL will very naturally mark the
first racing appearance of several of them,
For the most part the new ones will be
brought over from BenninEs, though some
of them are already on the Bowie grounds

Morgan in Wind-up
The 24-foot battlefield in the National
arena will be the scene of the Westerners'
initial scrap here and each Is paired with
no souch. Eddie Morgan, as clever list
finger as ever came over from the Old
County will serve to introduce the De
Foe lad to Philadelphians in the wind-up.
Tillman will endeaver to leave an i'm
preston on local fans as we'll as on the
features of Buck Fleming in the fourth
bout.
Another out-of-town boxer who is on
the program, although he has appeared
here before, is Eddie Wallace, attorney
at-law, Brooklyn, n. Y. He will cross
examine Tommy Buck, who has been pre-
pared for stiff quiz for some time and
Just aching to get it out of his system.

All Leonard
Taking the battle by and large, II
showed up Freddy and showed him up
worse than ever before. The youngster
with only 10 years behind him, proved
to be the more clever of the two, kept
his head better and acted like cham
pion should act. Freddy did not have
a chance after the first minute of the
first round and 1t took all of his crafti-
ness and experience to save himself from
being knocked out. Welsh resembled an
old battle.scarred bulldog. fighting clean
cut confident young prize winner. who
could see nothing ahead but victory.
The battle last night explained to all
of those present the reason Freddy has
indulged in so many no-decision battles
against the weakest opponents that could
be selected. Welsh has seen his best days !;
he is on the down-grade and hanging on to
the championship like a drowning man
clutches a straw In a short time he will
lose the title, but until then he will
squeeze as much money as possible out
of it,
Welsh lost considerable prestige last
night He is done as card and 1t is up
TO him to accept the inevitable. He must
take on harder foes. Billy Gibson. man
ager of Leonard. said after the battle that
he would try to force Freddy into longer
battle. If he tries hard enough the cham
plon will have to accept, and II he does
Benny Leonard will knock him out.
Welsh a Dub
Had the tables been reversed. that is.
II Leonard had been champion and Welsh
the challenger, Freddy would have been
called the rankest dub that ever fought
for a title. These are harsh words, but
when STRIPPING can get into a ring with
champion and make him look like a
second-rater, the STRIPPING must be good
Freddy Welsh is clever We all know
that but his cleverness availed him moth
ing when Leonard began to shoot
straight left and right hooks to the head
and body. Welsh could not dodge them,
and when the bout was over the cham-
,pion-we hate to call him that-was
bleeding from the nose and mouth, he was
cut over the eye and his face ana body
had taken the rosy color OF vivid sun
set In addition to that Welsh was tired.
In fact, he was "all in" at the finish and
hobbled from the ring like q. "A. h
athlete after a hard march.
There is no comparison between last
nights conflict and the expensive per-
formance put on by the Willard-Moran
Company n week ago. Leonard and welsh
showed class so did Willard and Moran,
hut II was steerage. The big guys quail
fed for one of the prellminaries, but that
was all.

haps II willard had appeared after the
trained elephants he would have made
a better showing But that was last
week, and only the agitators who were not
at the bout are trying to remember that
Il was sad affair."
Benny won the popular decision by 40
seconds before the battle began. The

1916 Chances

1916 Chances
AS both Max and Phil expect to play
in most of the leading tournaments
around the metropolitan district this
spring and summer and fall, they are
pretty sure to win more than few,
Last year they won no fewer than eight
golf tournaments between them where
the fields We're first class. SO far Carter
has won four Pinehurst tournaments for
a 1916 starter, and while the fields he
faced and left behind We're not any too
strong. the game that the winner played
would have given the best in the land a
battle. His game at Pinehurst ranged
from sc to 81. but most of 1t was around
7S. which is good enough to get there
1t is not at all unlikely that either
Marston or Carter will win the Metro
politan championship at Nassau this sum-
mer, and that both will at least figure
strong in the amateur at Merion Either
has as good a chance as any other one
entry from the big field, and the expert
ence they have gotten the last two years
will be big help for them when the new
campaign starts.
They have had more tournament eXpe-
rience now than most men get In ten
years play, so there Is no chance that
eithers game will be affected by any
variety of stage fright.
If you should recall any remark made
about their play IL is we'll to remember
that both are good putters

IN the nature OF rnnuOm ODAeTNh-
tions on some of the ways and achieve
ments of our leading golf stars.)
1t may be that neither will ever win
an amateur championship. II may be
that both will 1t is almost certainty
that one of them will, as they are both
of championship class.
But the point is that there is GER
tain sort of contest on between Max
Marston and Phil Carter as to which
will be the first to win an amateur
crown.
They started about the same time;
they have been rivals for most of the
distance. and they stand out as the two
star players of the younger generation
just reaching the top. Marston has never
yet been able to beat Carter in tour
nament but he has achieved about as
much in the way of fame and has about
the same chance to finish first in the blue
ribbon of American golf.
MarstOn's Rise
Marston is undoubtedly a fine young
golfer. His game has had but one real
weakness. and that was overswinging
the irons But he had such wonderful
rhythm in making this stroke that the
weakness failed to wreak as much dam
age to his game as 1t would have to
most players. But this winter he has
been working hard at indoor play to
shorten his swing on 100 or a 10
yard pitch and correct the defect.
Marston is of the tall and rangy type,
with a fine wallop from the tee, good,
long game in general and a good putting
touch. To show how swiftly he has come
forward take the record of his last two
years.
At EkwanoR. in 1914, he was beaten by
] he ,UrfE, nf bn
down At Baltusrol last summer in the
open he led all amateurs with the excep-
| tion of Jerry Travers, beating out both
| Ouimet and Evans. He won the Jersey
State championship by almost unbeatable
! golf At Detroit in the fall he beat Gull
! ford, Travers and Lee in succession, all
three hard men to grapple with, and only
| lost to Bob Gardner by missing a 15-inch
putt. In addition to this he won three
invitation tournaments.
Carter's Chance
Carter has come forward as swiftly as
MarstOn has, He lacks the tall Jersey
mans physique. but at iron play his game
| is sounder. And Carter, like Marston, is
fine putter and at his best in a hard
match.
| No amateur in the game plays an iron
any better than this young nephew OF
Dutch Carter the old Yale star There
is definite crispness in his stroke that
belongs TO the best professional play,
The peculiar feature of Carter's game
| is the number of useless waggles he takes
from the tee and the quickness and lack
of waste he shows Oh the green.
AS rule, any nervousness on the part
| OF a golfer shows more at putting than
| anywhere else. 1t is here that the nerv-
GUS type usually tiddles around. But
there is no such uncertainty OF nervous
! ness to Carter's game on the green. Not
! even Travers or Travis is any surer at
| a 4-foot or 5-foOt putt, one Of the most
| trying of all shots. A or a 5-footer in
| a night match has probably gotten more
| golhng goats than any other part of the
! game, but it never bothers Carter in the
