BOWIE NOT SOLD.
Maryland Jockey Club Official Denies
 Report of Purchase.

Baltimore. March 10.-Pimlico or Maryland Jockey club interests have made no effort to purchase the Bowie race track, as reported. If they have James F. O'Hara, general manager and chief stockholder in the southern Maryland course, knows nothing of it.
 It has been reported that Maryland Jockey club representatives have ap- preached the state racing commission to determine just how that body would feel about their purchase of the Bowie track. This purchase, it is said, is part of a scheme to gain entire control of racing in Maryland by the Maryland Jockey club, which also, according to reports, has in mind the purchase of the Havre de Grace course. Pimlico interests already have gained a foothold in the opera tion of Laurel.
 MT. O'Eara stated last night that representatives from the Maryland Jockey club looked over the Bowie plant last year, but nothing was said about their desire to effect a pur- chase.

CALLS DONLON'S BLUFF

Bill Brcnnecke Accepts Rockville
 Bowler's Threat to Spill the Tim bers and Brings Home the Bacon.
 After losing to the New Britain bowling trio last night, Freddie Don lon of the Rockville team issued a challenge to roll any local bowler for $100 a side. After listening to this line of ''guff'' for several seconds. Bill Brennecke quietly inquired of Fred die if he was kidding" Being as- sured that the threat was not made in facetious manner, the local man. ager of the Stars accepted the chal- lenge and the game proceeded. The match was arranged for three game match, but it required only two games for the local star to pile up victory and add to his extensive bank roll. The scores were, Brennecke 109 and IF; Donlon 93 and 107.
 After getting this lacing, Donlon is reported as making an offer to give ''Kid' Brisk of this city, a handicap of 75 pins in a 10-game match. The match did not materialize, which was a good thing for Donlon, although it was rather harsh of him to hold the "Kid' so cheap in his estimation.
