STATE HAS WORLDS
BEST RACE TRACK
Past Season Has Surpassed All
Others in Improvement
of Thoroughbreds.

ALBAxY. March New York States
racing associations, in a report Tor 1921
submitted to the Legislature to-day, de-
clared that racing OF thoroughbred
horses in the State continues to furnish
the public "a recreation popular and
wholesome
The report, which contained mo- rec
concentrations, said the encouragement
by the public enabled racing associations
to increase awards to horsemen and inn
proye their tracks so that the State
now boasts of courses unequaled any
where in the world"
Declaring that il is fundamental
principle that the chief aim of racing
is and should be the development and
Improvement Of the thoroughbred horse,
the report added that the past season
eurpas ssed all others i'm the development
of the work of the breeding bureau of
the Jockey Club.
The report showed that premiums and
prizes awarded in 1921 totaled $1.S99.-
o20. an increase OF $1S3,513 over 1920.
The commission has records showing
that 303 thoroughbred yearlings were
sold during the year for a total OF
SS22 500, an average of S2,715.
EXPENSES Of the commission amounted
to s4.22O. The expenses Of the commits
sion are limited by law to $4,000 and
are met by the several racing associa-
tions.
This commission is not and never has
been "a burden on the State treasury,
the report concluded.

Leo 2. Flynn Confident Of Vic
tory for NorfOlk-Dempsey
Rivals Wagner.
by w. o. McGEEHAN.

Whether or not there will be a
mixed bout for tie heavyweight cham
pionship of the world in this vicinity
on or about July will depend upon
the result at Madison Square Garden
tonight when the two black thunder
clouds, Harry Wills and Kid Norfolk,
come together. If Wills wins de-
cisively-that is, by knockout-it is
highly probable that Jack Dempsey
will continue to swell tie great army
of the unemployed through the sum-
mer.
Dempsey still remembers kindly the
sum he drew down for the bout with
Carpenter last July and would not
draw the color line If there is a possi-
billty of repeating this July. Wills
seems to be the only heavyweight of
any note that Dempsey has not met in
business way. Brennan and Fulton
being fiattened again by Dempsey would
constitute no novelties. Jess Willard
at the current writing seems destined
rather TO some home for the aged
rather than for a return bout
Dempsey and his manager, Jack
San Francisco, and Forty-second street,
New York. will be at the ringside to-
night peering intently at the combat
1t is not that Dempsey is particularly
concerned about the technique of Wills
for when Dempsey hits them they
have no technique-but merely that the
heavyweight champion wants to get an
idea as to how much money Wills
would draw into an outdoor arena
Boyle's Thirty Acres for instance.
The Hon. Leo p. Flynn. manager for
Norfolk, is inclined to make Dempsey
and Kearns shudder with apprehension.
Leo F.. being manager for Norfolk. de-
clares that his "black tiger" will mess
Wills up so badly that he will not be
able to leave the sanitarium by July.
Leo 7. has not been noted for loose
and lugubrious conversation.
There is some skepticism In Cauli-
flower Circles as to the earnestness of
the two combatants in the main event.
1t Is legend of the ring that colored
heavies in the past have been very con-
siderate Of one another's feelings and
chins. If there is not a knockout this
evening the gallery probably will be
demanding the admission price back
Sam Langford, the Methuselah Of the
colored boxers. has been known to save
many a brother boxer for the next bout.
Jack Johnson, also was merciful to his
brethren. So was Sam McVey. Denver
Ed. Martin and others. These whispers
will make it necessary for the Brown
Adonis' and the BLACK Tiger" to travel
at top speed.

The feature match to-day saw the
defeat OF Ralph l.. Baggs of New York

most uneven play by both men. Bastian
starting erratically and without any
sting to his strokes and Baggs reelng
off his shots with snap and conspicuous
success. In the second set the COM
plexon of the match underwent a com
plete change, with Bastian now the
aggressor and hitting the ball harder.
and Baggs toned down considerably. In
the third session both men went at ii
desperately but Baggss let-down in the
second set was fatal error, for he
never was able to regain his top form
and Bastian's great recoveries of placed
shots enabled him to take the last two
games, for the set at Cd, and the
match.
Rosenbaum defeated Richard w. Sea-
bury OF New Jersey at e., Cd and he
may give Bastian a great battle for the
honors tomorrow. Rosenbaum was put
ting great pace into his forehand drives
and his overhead play and volleying
smothered many of Seahurys returns.

Dorgan n Spaghetti Addict.

Ike Dorgan. New York plenipotentiary
and ambassador most extraordinary for
Charlie White in New York, was to hav,
spilled some news of great import last
night. Unfortunately Mr.. Dorgan has
become a spaghetti addict The craving
for the succulent Italian paste came over
him yesterday afternoon and he dsap-
peared into the notorious spaghetti joint
maintained by Jimmy Kelly on Sullivan
street.
Mr.. Dorgan, the victim OF this terrible
habit. was found In the resort with a
full spaghetti layout He was indulging
in the vice while being interviewed while
other denizens of the joint nibbled the
habit forming macaroni and the deadly
ravioli Under the influence of the
deadening spaghetti Mr.. Dorgan's usu-
ally clear mind seemed a trifle fuddled
Once the spaghetti habit gets a grip
upon its victim his old bean simply will
not work-to use the simplest expression.
And what n brain Mr. Dorgan used to
have before spaghetti claimed him foi
its own!
II believe that there was to have been
bout between Benny Leonard and
Charlie White arranged to-day" said
Dorgan. speaking in the haltlng accents
of a man in the throes Of spaghetti. His
face wore the deadly pallor of one who
had long been addicted TO the vice and
there was a maniacal CLEAN in his eyes.

PlaWelIow Case Will Be
Ready for the Jury To-day
Witnesses for Defense Deny Full Brother of Man O
War Was Wind Sucker When James Johnson
Sold Him to Harry Sinclair for 100000.
ny HENRY v. KING.

Justice cropsey hustled things along
yesterday in the Playfellow case, which
is being tried before him in the Su-
preme Court. Brooklyn. He ruled out
all superfluous testimony. with the re-
suit that the jury will decide to-day
whether or not Harry +. Sinclair is
entitled to the 100000 he paid James
+. Johnson for the three-year old
thoroughbred colt and full brother Of
Man o. War last summer.
The Justices decisions were prompt,
and although much OF the testimony
which was admitted at the first trial
was excluded there were few exceptions
When the court adjourned at o'clock
was in and if il weren't for the fact
that Harry +. Cochrane and Harry S.
sullivan. counsel for Mr.. Johnson, in
sisted that 1t would take at least an
hour for their summation Justice Crop
sey would have sent the case to the
jury yesterday
DR.. Harry C. Crawford. a veterinarian.
who said he was connected with The
Jockey Club. was the first witness or
the day. He was called by the plaintiff,
and as at the previous trial said that
Playfelow was distressed and appeared
to have acute dilation of the stomach
after race on June %, four days after
the colt had been sold to Mr. Sinclair.
He gave it as his opinion that cribbing
is followed by windsucking and that
the latter becomes chronic and Is trans
mitted to progeny. He admitted on
cross-eXamination by Justice Cropsey
that extra water before the race would
have caused a colt to show signs OF
distress after a race.
The plaintiff rested his case with
the testimony and the defendant moved
TO dismiss the case, but Justice Cropsey
denied the motion.
Mr.. johnson. the defendant. was the
first witness called for the defense. He
told how he had bought the colt for
about $4,000 and after reviewing Play
fellows racing record declared that
Sam Hildreth asked him for a price on
the colt. He said he named s125,000,
but later reduced the price to 100000
which satisfied Hildreth. He denied
that he guaranteed the horse and that
he said Playfellow was sound of limb
and wind. He declared he never saw
the colt wear the wind sucking bit and
that he never heard of the bit until
after the sale. He declared he refused
TO take the colt back because he be-
lleved something happened to him after
he left his stable.
Fitz Did Not Sec Colt Crib.
Jim Fitzsimmons. the veteran trainer
who developed Playfellow. was the next
witness. He denied he had ever seen
tho colt crib or suck Wind or that he
had ever shown evidence of being
cribber or windsucker. He admitted he
had been told he had cribbed once as a
yearling in 1919 and that he had or
dered the windsucker's bit on him last
year as a precautionary measure. He
said Playfellow was a much better colt
than Knobbe, the other colt Mr. Sim
