wagering on horse races will
be inaugurated next Tuesday
in Maryland with the opening of the

agements of all the State tracks were
fighting for tax relief.
A few days after this system was
announced for Bowie, it got consider
able advertising when the lone win
ming bettor at Tropical Park collected
$7,205.40 on his 50 wager.
Bowie's opening program will fea-
ture the Bowie Inaugural Handicap OF
$4,000 added for 3-year-olds and up
ward over 51a furlongs. The $500
added Rowe Memorial Handicap for

@oRAL GABLES, Fla, March
| 30.-Don Guzman, a much
" improved 5-year-old gelding
from the stable Of c. w.
Muller, Vice President of Panama,
earned a clever three length victory
in the $4,000 Everglades Handicap at
Tropical Park today.
With Wayne Wright, the countrys
leading jockey, in the saddle, the son
Of st. James was held of the early
pace. Leaving the back stretch, he
began to move up and, circling the
field, easily took command as the
leaders turned into the lane leading
to the judges stand.
Wright took no chances, however,
and kept his charge under slight
pressure to the end. S. A. Nielsen's
Speedmore was second and Chief
Mourner third in the field of six. As
the odds-on -favorite, Don Guzman
paid $3.50 straight.
Today's racing brought the regu-
lar 18-day Spring meeting to a close,
but there will be one more day, Mon
day, when the net proceeds will be
turned over to Miami charities.
Mack Winters brought home two
long shots. He won the third with
Amusing at S93. 80 and the sixth with
Flint Shot at s43.50.

times and won 80 Of the scraps. And
of these SO victories, 19 were by knock
outs.
Since his great stand against Johnny
Jadick and his recent victory over
Jackie Davis, Fitful Fur is regarded
as ready for the best by his new pilot,
Chris Dundee of Norfolk. Dundee
has been training Furr in Norfolk
end to judge by Phil's appearance as
he arrived in his home town yester-
day, Chris did pretty good job
of it.
A defeat would be a bitter pill for
Furr to swallow. He would lose plenty
of prestige, not to mention whatever
power at the gate the District welter-
weight championship means. Fitful
Phil is in pretty much the same po-
sition as was Ray Bowen last Summer
when Furr. an up-and-coming pre-
hminary kid, knocked Ray kicking

AMDEN, s. c., March So
4 Paul MELONS Drinmore Lad.
~ q 6-yesr-old brown gelding,
won the Carolina Cup today
in q close finish. Indigo. owned by
the Northwood Stable and ably ridden
by Burly Cocks, was only a neck be-
hind for second place, and Mrs. Simon
T. Patterson's Career, with H. W. Frost
astride, was third.
Indigo took an early lead and held
it. He was followed closely at various
times by Oliver c., Arundel, Haldale
and Career. At times the horses were
punched together. 1t wasn't until the
second time around this smooth track
that Jim Ryan made his move on
Drinmore Lad. Once 1t was made he
was there to stay and stay he did In a
driving finish. The time, 24s seconds
under the previous record for the race,
was 5 minutes 41K5 seconds for s.
mile race over fair and stiff timber.
There was only one fall. J. Carpen-
ter tumbling off Hotspur I'd. Mrs. w.
A. Wadsworth's veteran chestnut geld
ing, when he pecked badly over one
fence He caught the horse and led
him of the track. This race. which
is the biggest event of the Winter rae
ing season, is for 4-year -olds and up
ward. Last year it was won by Mrs.
T. E. Proctors Charioteer, ridden by
James Mccormack.
Official Is Criticized.
THERE was intense excitement on
the track this afternoon about
this race because Charloteer,
now owned by Noel Laing and leased
by Mrs. T. H. Sommerville, was not
allowed to run.
Frank Bryan, commonly known as
Judge Bryan, decided an hour before
the race that Charioteer was incl
igible because Laing owned him and
at the same time was riding Oliver c
for Mrs Sommerville. The feeling on
the course was that while Judge Bryan
technically was right, it was unfair for
him to make this decision at this time.
The horse had been leased two weeks
ago and the program for the meet
made up week ago.
Drinmore Lad was the favorite at
odds of 3 to 2, Indigo was to and
Career was 10 to /.
This probably was the biggest meet
ing that ever has been held at Cam
den. The attendance was estimated
at around 10000 people. The day was
perfect and the course. which Is su-
perb, was in good shape and fast.
There was only one horse tragedy to-
day. Carleton Palmer's Marletotz, a
4-year-old gray filly, which gave Bur-
" Cocks a bad ride last week at
Aiken, fell at the first fence in the
second race Marletotz went of to a
fast start and never rose to the fence.
The jockey, P. Miller, was thrown
clear. but Marletotz had an internal
hemorrhage and it was thought her
back was broken because she was
paralyzed in the legs.
