Maryland Turf Dates
Are Split Among
-Four Tracks
PimIico Will Run Lost II
Days, Other Three to
Hold Combined Meet
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, June 30.-The 30
day fall racing season at Pimlico
between October 8 and November
l3 will be divided among Maryland's
four major tracks, with Pimlico
running the last IL days from No
vember / to 13 and the other three
combining to operate the first 18
days
This was the plan announced af-
ter yesterdays joint meeting of the
Maryland Racing Commission and
operators Of the four tracks. Bowie
Havre de Grace and Laurel were
given the option of combining to
run the first 18 days, and Bowie and
Havre de Grace Immediately &C
cepted the plan. Laurel represent
atives said they must confer with
the board of directors before max
ing definite announcement
The three tracks have until July
IS to present in writing their plans
of conducting the joint meeting. 1t
was the concensus yesterday that
operating jointly was more feasible
than trying to operate separately
for six days each, when a run of
bad weather might be ruinous
Eighteen days of combined opera
ton, however. would balance that
AL tracks agreed yesterday on the
commission proposal of a minimum
daily purse distribution of $40, 900. a
plan that promises to attract the
countrys leading thoroughhreds.
The commission also made it clear
that the combined lS-day meet
would be under the same group of
officials such as manager, racing
secretary. etc, and indicated that
1t also would look with favor upon
a plan to retain for the entire time
the same group of employees such as
gatekeepers, police, ticket takers and
mutual machine operators.
In case Laurel does not join in the
combined operations. Bowie and
Havre de Grace will operate to-

Bob fooled lot of people. includ-

Manager Bucky Harris of the Mats.
Ossie Bluege, then a coach, indorsed
Repass as quite a fielder and still
feels he could make the grade.
There are three actute judges Of
baseball flesh who were enthusiast
tic over RepaSs' behavior and to
that list add the name of Burt
Shotton, Cleveland coach.
The Mats were playing the In
dians an exhibition game at Clear
water, Fla, when Shotton pointed
to Repass and said. That boy will
take care of shortstop for you and
very well, too" Shotton wasn't
popping off after a preliminary
peek. He had managed Repass for
q year at Columbus.
RepaSs was so sensational in the
south there was occasion to wonder
how the st. Louis Cardinals ever
permitted him to escape their farm
system. He resembled big Lacquer
the moment he stepped on the field
at Orlando. After slapping a few
grounders in his direction Harris
turned to nearby sports writer's and
said, Boys, we've come up with
something" Repass didn't embar-
rass his boss-not until the season
started.
Then he collapsed completely. He
couldn't field and he couldn't hit
and seemingly he wasn't disturbed
at failure in either department. 1t
could have been the company he was
keeping. for the Mats last year had
several players who weren't inter-
ested in turning in before the mid
night curfew and Repass hooked up
with 'em.
There were some troublemakers on
the Mats last year and while Repass
wasn't one of them he always was
in their midst. Griffith sensed the
clique was doing his club no good,
so ne disposed of the entire crop.
Repass was Grifith's No. dis

baseman, but he came up with
sore arm and appeared in only rs
games, mostly as pinch hitter.
Stan Gale, third baSeman up from
the American Association, remained
around only a few weeks before
Griffith tossed in the towel on him.
On April % Pitcher Dutch Leon
ard broke leg sliding into first base
and the Mats obtained no more
hurling from him until late in Au-
gust. Buck Newsom was miserable
failure and Sid Hudson had a bad
year. Jake Early hit .202 and not
until the final month of the season
did Mickey Vernon start hitting and
lift his batting average to a modest
.272.
Harris was struggling along with
Bobby Estalella at third base. Es-
talella was so baffled by it all that
Bucky finally instructed him to line
up directly with the section D
grandstand post and hoped for the
best Bobby didn't own the faintest
conception of how to play the hit
ters. Harris simply stationed him
at a point where Bobby figured to
get his hands on an occasional
grounder. Roy Cullenbine. an out
fielder and first baseman, also played
third.
Reposs No. ] Failure
After Repass was sold to Balti-
more Bucky had choice of Jimmy
Pofahl or Johnny Sullivan as his
shortstop. Sullivan's baseball ex-
perieEce consisted of a year in a
class D league and two months with
Chattanooga, SO Harris inserted
Pofahl at short until he could teach
Sullivan something. Johnny fin
ished the season, though, as Wash
ington's regular shortstop.
The Mats had no stars at second
base, either Croucher was .sore-
armed as the season started so
Harris launched the year with Jose
Gomez, light-hitting Mexican. at
second base. He finished the sea-
son with Ellis Clary at second, de-
spite the fact Clary had played only
third base and shortstop in the
minors.
