ties. The track, too, Is thing OF
beauty, but the grandstand seats less
than 5000. The big crowds that at
tended on Saturdays and holidays
went away squaWking.. They were un-
able to see the running OF the races.
Next season steeplechase races will
be featured, and it is TO be hoped
that the capacity of the grandstand
will be doubled, at least.
There was a scarcity Of horses and
good jockeys at Delaware. At enc
time it was difficult for the racing
secretary to fill his daily programs,
and even then the fields were very
small. It is said that when the man
agement was asked for stall room,
before the meeting opened, the small
er stables were informed there was
no room left. When later they were
urged to ship the invitation was
declined. Delaware offered nothing
more than the other established tracks
and few owners cared to leave a cir
cult for track that had only 80
days Of racing.
If Delaware Park does not care to
follow Pimlico's Spring meeting, then
purses and stakes must be increased
and much missionary work be done TO
obtain the leading stables which, Of
course, would mean the best Jockeys
as well. Possibly if July 4 was given
up and Labor day substituted all the
stables that race each Fall at nearby
HaYre de Grace could be obtained.
That might not appeal TO Edward
Burke, the boss of the "GraV," who,
by the way, is the Du Points head man
at Delaware Park. Mr.. Burke might
reason, and correctly so, that such
meeting would take the edge off of his
Fall opening.
THE problem is Delaware's and not
ours. All We wish is an enlarged
grandstand, and though the track is
a non-profit affair and advertised
solely sporting proposition, with
a small mutuel take, said take" really
Will not be worth while until good
horses and real jockeys are obtained.
We miss our guess if they get them.
unless something is done about the
$4,000 and $4,000 stakes offered
by Rockingham and Suffolk Downs
in the East and Arlington Park in
the West. Delaware Park had keen
competition its first season. It is the
only track in Delaware, however, 80
for the present there can be no
souabble about racing dates.

SALT LAKE CITY, October a.
United Airlines today blamed the crash
Of its mighty Mainliner that killed 10

Maj. r. w. Schroeder, the company1s

the storm caused the airliner to drift
off its course Sunday night and crash
into Chalk Peak, 40 miles east of here.
"A sudden, unexpected squall which
developed north Of the course, the oc-
currence and aloft intensity of which
would not be predicted from the
ground, is believed to have attained
the velocity Of gale. estimated at 10
miles an hour, when the plane reached
point where the storm crossed ths
course" he said.
Weather conditions were good when
the plane left Cheyenne. Wyo.. for Salt
Lake City, and the plane new at 10000
feet, high enough to clear any noun
tain along the radio beam.
1T is believed the squall created a
condition which probably made the
pilots radio imperative. In which case
he would have been unaware Of the
drift which took him OF the course"
said Maj. Schroeder.
Evidence indicates that the plane
collided with higher terrain approx
mately II miles south Of the regular

''The time is coming" Meryweather

toward preventing crime, Just as We
have fire-prevention agencies. That
is as important, or more so, as taking
proper care of individuals after they
