bowling Named
Race Czar;Hds
No Plans Yet
By LEO MACDONELL

The appointment of William j..
(BiW Bowling as state racing
commissioner today was hailed
with satisfaction by turfmen and
sportsmen in general.
Bowling, whose appointment
Gov. Harry F. Kelly announced in
Lansing late yesterday, succeeds
Edward J. Frye.
In expressing himself as happy"
over the honor, Bowling today
said:
II will try and make racing In
Michigan what the public wants.
And I feel the Detroit Racing
Association will coo perate
fully"
The Detroit Racing Association
operates the Fair Grounds track
here. ="
No PLANS YET
AS TO any plans for recognizing
the commission. Bowling explained
he hadn't had time yet TO think
Iof that.
Naturally I will have to talk
over plans with the governor"
Bowling said.
Besides Bowling, assistant COM
missioner, those who served with
Fry during the past two years in-
lcluded Dick Sauter, Roger l..
(Rhody) Hanrahan and Bert
Wagner. :.
With an excellent reputation for
Integrity and a knowledge OF
horses, Bowling is considered an
ideal man for the post. Becahse
of these accomplishments, Dowl-
ing has served under both Repub-
Ilican and Democratic administra-
tons. At Lansing IL was ex-
planned his appointment had In
mind the divorcing of politics and
the racing commission.
WROTE RACING BILL
Inasmuch as Bowling wrote the
Jarvis-Root bill, which gave Mich
ligan modern racing, his friends
and admirers see the appointment
as poetic justice. Though not a
member OF the Legislature, Dowl-
ing. at the time a resident OF
Owosso. compiled the essential
features Of the racing bill that
later was made into law at Lam
sing.
That was 10 years ago. Suisse
quently Bowling was given post
with the commission. With his
family he moved from Owosso 10
the Detroit area and has been
with the state body ever since,
serving well and commanding a
national reputation as an out
standing horseman.
Born in Camden, Ont, near To-
Ironto, 63 years ago, the new COM
missioner. like his father, always
has been interested in horses. AS
a boy he rode horses for his dad
lin county fair match races.
