AFTER LIVELY FIGHT
S|DE-STEPS ISSUE
ON RACE TRACKS
House OF Delegates. By 81 To
49, Votes For Referendum
Substitute For Burke Racing
Commission Bill-Anti-G Gamb-
ling Bill Not Fought Out
LOCAL DELEGATION
IS AGAIN DIVIDED

1t looks now as though the ques-
tion of whether horse racing in Mary
land. as far as permitting betting on
The ponies" is concerned. will rest
with the voters at the polls at the
next general election. After Al al
most continuous session yesterday
from noon until 1890 o'clock, the
House Of Delegates by vote Of 81 10
80. voted for referendum on all
pending racing measures, and thus
side-stepped direct action on them.
Anne Arundel is one of the few
counties Of the State that have deep
seated interest in the racing issue, te-
cause the race course known as the
Laurel track is situated within the
borders of this county, and there is
much feeling that if racing is TO go
on. the county should reap a suhstan-
tial financial leneft by way of Ii
eense fees therefore There is also
a very strong sentiment that the time
has come to put stop to all race
track gambling especially as a leg
allied state institution, and that the
anti-gambling bill should lie voted on
now and he done with it.
The bill introduced ty Delegate
burke, of Baltimore county, son OF
Judge n. Charles Burke. who recent
" resigned from the Court of Appeals,
was the center about which the fight
in the House of Delegates took place.
This bill provides for a State paid
Racing Commission TO he appointed
fy the Governor and operating under
much more severe regulations than
heretofore and with heavy license
fees. 1t came hefore the House on a
favorable report with certain amend
ments tackled to it, under which Har-
ford county. the city of Havre de
Grace. a race track Icing located close
10 that city, would derive financial
benefit from the race course. The
Anne Arundel county delegation IS
split on the question, but Delegates
Wiegard and Rodgers, took the stand
that Anne Arundel should also receive
81 900 a day on account of racing at
the Laurel track, if other sections OF
the State where tracks are located are
to benefit. And Prince Georges coun-
ty. Baltimore County and Baltimore
City. the other localities where tracks
are located, were likewise named as
benefciaries.
The Andrews bill, which is a com
panion bill to that introduced in the
Senate by Senator Nuttle, and which
prohibits gambling at the tracks, was
reported unfayorably by the Judiciary
Committee.
The fight centered on the issue
whether there should be referendum
attached to the Burke bill, and tht
substitute offered to the latter by
Delegate Miles, of Wicomico County

of the fonus for soidiers?' Still an
other mother asked What has become

defining its motto For God and
America
Captain Murphy said all men are
eligible to membership who are now
in the service or who have been at

lean Legion The meeting was one
of interest and profit through which
an air of patriotism was dominant.

WINTER SPORT SEASON
WANING; 3 EVENTS ON
CARD FOR TOMORROW

The winter season of indoor athletic
competitions for midshipmen teams is
now waning. The program of events
for tomorrow, calls for only three con-
tests. as compared TO five and six that
have filled the card on the past four
Saturdays, but athletes OF three diff
ferent institutions will be represen-
ted in the days program, and all con-
tests bid fair to attract the usual
large crowd of devotees.
The main attraction from purely
sporting standpoint will be the wres-
tling Iouts with the Cornell Crap
piers. The middies have not lost a
mat contest this season and they
should be able to keep the good work
going against the lthacans. They re-
ceived their biggest scare at the
hands OF Pennsylvania State College
last Saturday, when they emerged
with victory by margin OF one VIC
tory and four points Next in inter
