Several radical changes in rules gov
erning harness horse races, which it
is declared will improve the sport,
were submitted to the stewards of the
grand circuit at their final meeting
today. The schedule Of racing dates
also was submitted.
The rules and schedule committees
declined to announce their recon-
mendations pending action of the
stewards.
It was learned from relia Bile
source. however. that recommenda- =
tions of the rules committee provide,
among other things, for claiming
races, handicaps in which horses will
be classified by their money winnings
instead of time records and for dash
and heat races at various distances.
Steps also will be taken, it is under
stood, to give judges more power.
There will be one more week of
grand circuit racing this year than
in 1924, with the addition of two
cities, Aurora, H., and Atlanta. 1t
will be Aurora's s first meeting. while
in Atlanta it will be the first since
