DETROIT. Dec. 21.-Judge Jo-

Gently as director of racing at the
Detroit Fair Grounds, said today
that excessive racing in some COM
munities and ill-advised publicit"
threaten the future of the sport.
In statement to the Associated

stockholders in race tracks and
owners of breeding farms and rae

public their race tracks are part Of

which they operate.
