EIGHT RACING DAYS
Commissioners Reduce Dates
From 100 to 92-BOwie
Opens April 2.

BALTIMORE, Md, FEB. s.-There will
be ninety-two racing days In Maryland
this year, according TO the decision of
the racing commission. The commits
sion has allotted racing dates as fol-
lows:
Bowie--April to 10; November Is
to &c.
Eavre de Graee--April 16 to 80; Sep
tember 21 to October /.
Pimlico-May 3 to IS; November
TO ~.
Laurel-October 4 to 30
All dates are inclusive and sundays
are excepted. The commission, after a
meeting which lasted several hours to-
day, issued the following statement;
'In awarding the dates 70 rracing on
the one mile tracks OF Maryland tor
the year 1921 the commission feels that
1t is wholly within it's powers of regu-
latien to reduce the number of days
below the 100 named as a maximum by
the last Legislature.
Tracing grew in Maryland year by
year until finally one-third of the call
endar year, and not SO very far from
ene-half of the week days in the year,
were devoted TO racing. Every one real
ized that this was far too much and
that In the end II would kill the sport.
With this in view the last Legislature
made 100 days of racing on the one mile
tracks the maximum.
'~Fhe Maryland Racing Commission
feels that 100 days are too many, and
as an initial step has curtailed that
number by eight for the current year.
The commission feels that the best In
terests of racing are served by having
less of it, and feels. further, that all who
have the interest of racing at heart will
realize that only through gradual cur
tailment of racing in Maryland can the
best interests of racing he served"

1000 DOGS TO BARK
IN MADISON SQUARE
Annual Show Of Westminster
Kennel Club Beginning To-
day Has Record Entry.
by FRANK +. DOLE.

With 1000 dogs of all breeds entered
to try for the highest honors in dogdom
everything Is In readiness for the OPEN
Ing Of the forty-fifth annual show OF the
Westminster Kennel Club at Madison
Square Garden to-day. There are more
dogs entered for the exhibition than
have ever before been brought together
in a similar space in this country.
As usual. the Westminster show will
determine the best dog OF all breeds Cor
tho year at the conclusion OF the judg-
ing ON Saturday. the exhibition running
through three days.
An indication that interest In the dog
is again at its height is found In the
fact that there has never before been
so many Individual exhibitors. For
this reason l look for this TO be the
best show In the history Of the West
minister Kennel Club. Another thing
/ am confident of il that there never
has been such a keen interest generally
I'm the thoroughbred dog. Yesterday at
the combined terrier shov this interest
was manifest and natur .Iy II will be
Increased twentyfold at the big show.
The judging for the opening day will
be dono In eleven rings and there Will
consequently be plenty of competition
in all parts of the Garden. The judg-
Ing will start at 1890 A. NJ, when
Norman X. Swire win judge blood
hounds ruastiffs, collies, poodles and
Pomeranians. Some OF the other judges
are G. Muss-Arnolt, John w. Britton Cd,
Dr. j. f. DE Mund. Miss NJ r. Warren,
C. G. Hopton and Charles w. Keyes.
Such elaborate preparations have
been made that some of the champions
OF other days and others which are
Just verging on fame Will be strong
contenders, and at this time I find It
very difficult 10 predicet what breed or
what individual dog will gain the high
est honors

Schang
II is fair TO assume that Schang's
talk with Barrow was not on the sub
ject of salary, as Wallie signed a two
year agreement with the Red Sox last
season. The Yankees have taken over
this contract. II Will be remembered
that Sehang was holdout In 1920. and
that he did not report until the season
was nearly month old. His salary IL

the American League summoned his

Friday. This is a new distinction for
Cleveland The session always was held

and in matters concerning waivers will
be taken up.
The International League sent out a
call for meeting here next Monday. at
which the principal topic will be the
advisability Of changing the circuit II
seems likely that the Syracuse fran
chise will be moved back to Newark.
which seems ready for the return OF
league baseball. Syracuse did not sup
port its team last season--perhaps be-
cause it was not much OF a. team. New
ark has not had league baseball for
several seasons Akron also may lose
it's club, which may return to montreal.
