MILE TRACK

|NDECEMBER
ErandStand and Paddock Also
Assured of Completion
After Bowie Meet

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, June
21.-A racing plant with a one
mile track, comparable in size to
the big Maryland strips, was as
sured today in a formal announce
ment by the Martinsburg Jockey
Club that track of that size,
grandstand and paddock would be
built here and that the first
meeting would be held this De-
cember Immediately following the
Bowie meet.
The announcement was made
through J. B. Boyle of Baltimore
and T. K. Lynch who will be in
charge of the racing end; and
DR.. H. G.. Tonkin, Of this city,
leader in the move to have Mar
tinSburg selected as the site for
The new plant.
The idea was publicity broached
several weeks ago but was
temporarily dropped when racing
officials said the tax under the
new State racing law was too
high. Since that time a 5 per
cent school tax has been elm
mated, leaving figure favorable
to pari-mutuel betting, it was
said.
A definite site for the track has
not been selected, but a group Of
options are held on favorable
locations.
Situated near some Of the
largest breeding farms in Virginia,
86 miles from Baltimore and
slightly more from washington,
MartinSburg was chosen as an
ideal spot to fill the gap left open
after the fall Bowie meet and the
beginning of racing in the South.
A check-up of Weather Bureau
data at washington revealed that
the first two weeks of December
IN the past here would have been
adaptable to racing.
According to the announce
nent plans for the grandstand
will be prepared by H. higgins,
who assisted in reconditioning
the Hialeah plant in Miami and
the track proper will be built un-
der the direction of Dick Pending,
supervisor Of the Bowie track.
Work will begin following a final
meeting of officials soon, it was
said. It was estimated that
$1,000,000 will be spent before the
gates are first opened.
