NEW ANTI-RACING
BILL B0BS UP

ANNAPOLIS. March 23.-Another
racetrack bill made It's appearances
in the Senate yesterday. when Sem
ator Parran offered one which pro-
hibits racing for purse, stake OF any
prize on any track In the state ex-
cept az county fairs, and then only
for a period OF FIVE days. This would
put a stop 20 all racing az the big
tracks and would. Il is claimed, put
the bookmakers. as we'll as the pari-
mutuels. out Of business.
The bill will hardly have the sup
port OF the proponents Of the Hall
bill. that is. Of the Anti-Racetrack
Gambling Association. OF which
William Silver. Of Aberdeen. Is pres
ident. Leaders IN the organization
say they are not opposed to racing,
even for prizes. and that they fear
the abolition OF TIE mile tracks
would merely spread the betting
evil among the county associations.
