BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE appar-
eut inability Of the Maryland Jockey
Club to grasp the fundamental princi-
rle that the Maryland racing commits
SION is the racing authority in this
state will, it is coming to be generally
believed. exercise q prejudicial effect
mon the future of the sport of kings"
ia this commonwealth.
Racing was in a sufficiently precar-
;eus position during the last session of
The Legislature. The fight to save it
~ the passage of the Burke bill and
the creation Of racing commission
was won by the narrowest of margins.
The prediction is being ventured in
many quarters that there will be no
margin of victory when the racetrack
issue comes up again at Annapolis
rext year, as come it will in all
probability.
Racing Faces Its Doom
II is generally believed that racing
.-at least racing accompanied by bet
ting, which seems All essential con-
comitant-will be legislated out of ex-
issence so far as Maryland is concerned.
The frequently expressed opinion is
that racing is doomed. Months ago the
chairman Of the racing commission
declared that racing in this state is
or trial before the bar Of public
opinion. That the jury has been favor
ably impressed by recent events can
hardly be maintained.
There may be statesmen who wish
that racing could be decently inferred
a. once, thereby putting an end to com
p.ications that may prove awkward.
Governor Richie used to declare that
he was "hands off" the racing board:
that he had appointed the commission
and would leave it to attend to its
affairs.
Cne Commissioner Resigns
But one of the commissioners has
resigned and the Governor is faced
with the necessity of making a new
appointment. And things have so de-
yeioped that many people believe that
the new appointee will express the ad-
ministration's views on broad matters
Of racing policy.
Whether such belief is justified is
beside the point. 1t seems to be
widely entertained, and, in this event
the actions of the new member of the
racing commission will be taken bv
many persons as the actions of the
Governor

George Kerrigan Improving

George Kerrigan, brother Of the
brilliant Tommy, should be heard from
this season. He is now in our midst
having Just signed as the professional
Of the White Beeches Golf and Coun-
try Club in Bergen County, New Jer-
sey This means that George will ulay
IN more tournaments than he did last
season, when he was stationed at the
Northampton Country Club in Easton,
n. J. ~
The lad has the shots, as he showed
IN the Southern tournaments in which
ne played this winter At Deland he
tied with Mike Brady for seventh
money with score of 3o8. With the
increased opportunities for tournament
play afforded him in his new Job.
George may we'll aspire to attain the
playing heights already reached by his
noted brother, Tom.
-. George, like Tom, is a product of the
New England school of golfers, the
same school which produced Tom Nc
Namara, Mike Brady and other down
East notables in the profession.

soccer teams clashed at New York Oval

New York State Cup tie. A draw re-
suited, each side scoring once. The
MacDuffs took the lead after ten min

Ten minutes from the end New York
attacked strongly and after some grand
play by Bustard, Philip picked up his
perfect pass and made the score level.
In the closing minutes New York was
all over the Clansmen, but Reilly was
in fine form between the uprights.
