BOWIE PROPERTY
MAY BE SOLD TO
PIMLICO OWNERS
Deal Would Mean Placing
Md. Tracks. Under
One Control.


BALTIMORE. March s.-A deal
for.the sale OF the Bowie race track
property to the Pimlico or Mary
land Jockey Club interests is pend
ing, but nothing hnai has been
done. Pimhco ofhcials approached
the State racing commission today
with the view OF finding out IL the
commission would approve the deal,
but the matter 10 said not to have
come up before the commission in
an ofiicial way. Today the COM
mission was too busy discussing
the adoption Of code OF rules to
take up any other matter.
The projected deal for the pur-
chase of Bowie by the Maryland
Jockey Club 10 said to be part OF
scheme which was broached at
Annapolis last winter. This scheme
involved a combination OF the Pim-
lico and Laurel interests and the
acquisition by them OF both the
Bowie and the Havre de Grace
tracks. This combination would
then be supreme in Maryland. rae
ing. The Bowie track is controlled
by James r. O'Hara and Cad
Bryan. Ever since the racing COM
mission took hold the talk has
been that Bowie would sell out and
it's owners would retire from
Maryland. Havre de Grace is
owned by outsiders and they. too.
are willing to part with their hold
ings.
IL the four tracks then passed
under the combined ownership of
Laurel and Pimlico there might not
be much future trouble over the
granting of dates. as one of the
plants might be closed down.
For two hours today the members
of the State Racing Commission
wrangled over the adoption of a
code of rules for racing in Mary
land. They adjourned without action
till Friday.

BIRTH OF BIC RANGES LAID
 TO GLACIERS

CBy International News service)
 YOSEMITE, Cal, Aug. 9.-In the hope of finding glacial records which will enable scientists to read the history of the west in much more ancient Gays than they hay, been able to do hitherto, F. E. Mathhes of the United States geological sur vey has left here, equipped with a large pack train, to explore the crest of the Sierra Nevada as far south as Kings river canyon.
 So far, scientists have been able to determine only that the rocky mountain and Sierra Nevada country was invaded twice by ice. In the Mississippi valley, the eastern states and Canada, there are distinct rec ords of at least five glacial floods. Que result of Dr. Matthes' trip may be the discovery of data which will of the west in reality was two or more invasions, thereby establishing the contemporaneous character of the glacial epochs over the entire North American continent,
 "T wish to look for evidence of still earlier ice invasions iu the west than have been determined by science up to now" Dr. Matthes said. We know of two invasions. The later one left a record which Is plain and unmistakablc. The auto graph of the earlier one is mixed, confused It may be that the first record is the world of two glaciers instead of one, perhaps more than two, and that they were contempor. aneous with the glacial invasions of the other portions of the conti- nent. of which we know of five. The last glacial invasion was compara- lively recent, only about 25.OOO years ago.
 "I don't know what records We are going to find, of course but if we can establish the existence of more than two glacial floods in the west. 1t opens many possibilities for reading the geological history of this part of the world. For instance, it might enable us to determine the approximate epoch the last upward thrust of the Sierra Nevada range gave us the magnificent peaks in Yosemite and along the Muir trail That thrust raised Mt. Lycil from mere hill of 5000 feet to one of the worlds finest spires with an altitude of 1300O feet. It is believed the thrust occurred less than n million years ago and that belief will be confirmed if we discover the ex- floods in the west, for Lyell bears 0o traces of late glacial erosion and must have been thrust upward after the earlier glacial cpochs.
 Dr Mathhos and his party headed for the little used Fernandez pass, in the southeast corner of Yosemite national park, from where they will swing uorthward 10 the Devils Post Pile, thence southeastward along the famous John Muir trail on the crest Of the range. Returning in late Sep ambcr, the party will take a lower route via Tchcpite valley and Hunt mgton lake, not following g trail, but hehting their way over virgin coun- try.
