MARYLAND RACING CODE
O. KID BY JOCKEY CLUB

PHILADELPHIA, February 3.-The
jockey club is in accord with the
Maryland state racing commission, it
was announced here yesterday after a
conference between the jockey clubs
stewards and representatives of the
commission.
The Jockey club stewards compli-
mented the commission upon the ten
tative draft Of rules submitted. The
most drastic change that the Mary
land commissioners insisted upon was
that they should conduct the sport in
their own state according to their
own views" Thi means the jockey
club will not name a steward for each
meet, as previously done.
