Government May Take
Over Race Track
Strategic Point In Army Defense
Plan

It is rumored the Federal Govern
ment intends to acquire the Havre
de Grace race track, reports Emory
A. Mallowan, in the Philada. Daily
News.
The track is situated at strategic
point in the governments wide
spread defense plans, and army Of
ficials are eager to acquire the prop
erty for fertilization purposes.
One end of the property borders
on the bank of the Susquehanna
river, where it empties into the Ches-
apeake bay.
A few miles up the stream, within
the confines of Havre de Grace,
there are two vitality important rail-
road bridges and two vehicular
spans both leading to main arteries
of highway travel.
In addition, little farther up
stream is the mighty Conowingo
dam and power plant, feeding cities
within radius of SIS miles with pow
er and light to keep industries, ship
building plants, munitions factories,
etc. in full operation.
A few miles separate the race
track from Aberdeen Proving
Grounds where all sorts of war ma
chimes, munitions and deadly chemi-
Gals are tested for homicidal potency.
Furthermore, adjoining the Proving
Ground is Edgewood Arsenal, one OF
the most important munitions de-
pots in the country.
1t is known the government has
allocated large sum of money to
improve and expand the Proving
Ground and Edgewood. Arsenal, and
this, together with the fine strategic
position of the land owned by the
Hartford Agricultural and Breeders
Association, has led to persistent re-
ports the government will seek to
buy the track.
The Graw management owns III
acres of ground and it is assessed at
$1,4OO,OOO due to stands, barns and
other buildings on the site.
1t would become one of the most
important defense points in the ma
ton and would prove barrier to
any foe seeking to penetrate inland
via the Susquehanna river, after
reaching our shores by way of the
Chesapeake bay.

Rangers 1 Up On Toronto Leafs

New York, April 3. - (UP) - The New York Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet in Madi- son Square Garden tonight in the second game of their best-of-ssven series for the Stanley cup.
 The Rangers won the opening contest 2-1 last night before 12,437 fans when Allie Pike, slim forward, slammed home the winning goal on an assist from Veteran Lynn Patrick to end the match at 15:30 o fthe first overtime period.
 Pike atoned for an earlier blum der committed in the first period when he unwittingly kicked Red Heron's rebound into his own net for the Leafs lone goal. Although the Rangers forced the play all the way they were unable to push in the winning marker until a total of 75 minutes of furious action had sped by.
 The Rangers scored the initial tally after 9:O9 minutes of the game when Captain Art Coulter whipped the puck over Goalie Turk Broda's left shoulder. Less than two min utes later, Pike kicked in Heron's rebound which came on pass from Dave Schriner.

 Meet Again Next Week

Knights of Lithuania basketball teams whose management had to be Init on the head" f1guratively speak ing to see the box-office value of a home and home hoop series with the West Side Speedboys, were an even dozen points better than the younger but faster challengers last night in the first of two games agreed upon by the teams.
 The final score was AT to 35. Next game is set for next week Wednes- day, April 10, at the central YMCA. If third game is necessary 1t will be agreed upon soon after the second game is completed, due to the late ness of the season.
 Big Three
 Dick Tuckey and Matty Sheehan for the Liths, and Johnny Stollar for the Speedboys played the only basketball worthy of the name last night. Joe Boley contributed 12 points to the winners, while Swasey, though held scoreless, played his usually fine defensive game. Boley had two points for the Liths within the first minute of play and from then on, the West Sides never caught up. The best they could do was to cut down 17-point deficit at half time to 12 points at the finish.
 An overflow crowd of close to 1000 customers, including a large group from the west side of the city saw the game which ended in quarters 8-3; 30-13; 39-27, and 47-35, the Liths leading all the way. From an officiating point the contest was well handled by Charley Petrino of Bridgeport. Summary:
