I, for one racing fan, am going
to expect to see the end Of those

such prices as to 10, to 8, to
6, and all that sort Of thing. We
have seen enough of that in recent
years to do us for always.

"Wait until you see racing

Well, on April 81 at Jamaica
and from then on, we're going to
be there to see it, and we'll let
you know, not that we expect any
miracles. Improvements take time.
Next to No Racing
Racing in New York State had
reached such pass that we had
next to no racing at all, except
on occasional big-stake days.
Even they weren't always so hot.
So it can't be rejuvenated and
reorganized overnight. I realize
that.
But it must be evident even
to the somnolent solons of the
Jockey Club that racing here has
had a mighty close call. The
sport was sick unto death here
abouts, and there were days
when it was positively pitiful to
go out to the track and see the
condition of affairs. Thousands
stopped going altogether. Others
waited until they got a day free
to go down to Maryland.
The metropolitan tracks were
endeavoring to keep going with
no horses-no prices-no con-
tests-no anything. If it was
sport you were seeking, you we're

You can't convince Fred Buch-
holz that his Occidental duckpin
team has to play second fiddle to
any aggregation.
Last night at Baltimore, he
showed his confidence in his boys
when he challenged Frank Bar
ber's the Connecticut Blue Rib
bons, after the Nutmeggers rolled
a higher score in the National
tournament.
Because it was near midnight
the match had to be limited to
two games. The moguls bet $500
on their teams and approximately
$500 in side bets was rumored to
have been made. The Blue Rib
bons won, 1857 to 1,214. Occi-
dental got off to 7 pin lead in
the first game.
The second game was a differ
ent story. Nick Tronsky, after
picking five spares in the opener,
made eight straight spares, missed
one in the ninth, and spared again
in the tenth for a 161 game. It
meant victory.

which the screen provides such a
