MARYLAND SEASON
OPENS TOMORROW
Horses That Spent Winter
in Cold Territory Are Not
Ready, Lynch Holds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
N OWE, Md, March 31.-
x Thoroughbreds which
have been campaigning
- during the Winter in the
South are expected to dominate
the 12-day meet which opens
the Eastern racing season here
Monday.
Horses have been arriving at Mary
land stables during the last week by
the hundreds, but those which have
avoided the cold weather OF the last
few months appear in the best con-
dition.
This prediction was made by
Thomas Kirby Lynch, assistant man
ager and treasurer at the track. He
believes that horses which have been
running in the South will have things
much their own way here.
Except for the majority of the
horses which have been stabbed at
Benning, the training track near
Washington. he said most of the thor
oughbreds which spent the Winter
months north of South Carolina are
far from ready for competition, their
training having been delayed by Sc
we're weather.
Most of the stables Of the plant
here have been filled or reserved
while scores of horses are quartered
at nearby tracks and farms. to be
moved in by van on racing days.
The meet will mark the Maryland
debut of Charles ]. McLennan as a
full-f1edged racing secretary. For
many years he worked under his
father, Joe McLennan of Baltimore,
and when the latter died last Deem
Der at Miami. Fla, the son stepped up
into his fathers shoes, both here and
at Havre De Grace.
