i don't know why there was
any trouble" said Ray Grundy,
Detroit trainer and owner.
Individual trainers had individ-
ual grievances.
Some angry trainers tried to
place the blame on the wide open
claims of horses which saw 10
horses change stalls in IL days of
racing.
"The claiming became sense
less" said Mike Walsh, veteran
Jockeys agent.
You can understand why a
trainer didn't want to carry a
horse all through the ban and
then have him claimed first time

To win purse" said another.
That's why n lot OF horses
didn't run. Their owners were
waiting for spots"
A the start of last season horse
men had TO increase the price OF
all winning horses claimed by 25
per cent If they wished to run
them within 80 days. That rule
was changed to the present open
claiming, however. at the request
of the horsemen. Horses could be
run back the next day for the
same price. or less.
Most prominent of the claiming
stables at the Fair Grounds was
that of Mrs. Lottie Wolf of De-
troit. which claimed 2l in IL days
but lost 10 by the same method.
DRASTIC MOVE
ITS a drastic move" said
Racing Commissioner William
G. Bowling. "But I know the
track officials thought the prob
lem could not be solved any
other way. There are two sides
TO 1t. Many of the horses were
not ready to run, there was
some sickness among them and
others just didn't fit In the
races scheduled"
Lewis was adamant on his de-
eision when approached by two
delegations of horsemen. one led
by trainer Ray S. Byrum. an
other by James L. Chesney. vice
president of the Horsemen's Pro-
tective Benevolent Association.

No Cooperation,

Racing Is over at the Detroit
Fair Grounds for this year!
This announcement was made
by George w. Lewis.
general manager of the ira C X.
Lack of cooperation by horsemen
in filling races was given as the
reason for stopping the scheduled
S5-day meeting after II days of
racing.
HorSemen are now faced with
the necessity and expense of ship
ping to other track, more than 700
are out of work, and
race fans are still trying to figure
out how a race meet in Detroit
could end when the sport is break
ing betting records in other parts
of- the country.

couldn't give II To them without
the cooperation of hOrsemen.

That's the way horSemen placed
the blame for the tracks closing.

Hernandez, New Orleans racing
stable owner. 81 know two of
them who just kept their

They have no one but them

horses, have TO suffer with
them"
Hernandez horses have won
six races at the meeting.
Criticism of the conditions book
issued by racing secretary Charles

the horSemen. most of whom were
chary of having their names used.

City Manager

Municipal Expert
Troees Its History .

Advocates Of the City Mana
ger form of municipal govern
ment-which has attained the
highest national popularity in
Michigan-recommend this type
of administration because city
commissioners in many instanc-
es cannot devote their full time
and energies to civic duties with
out great personal sacrifice.
This salient argument for the
manager form Of government
was offered to local club men,
bers and businessmen today by
George Sidwell, staff attorney
of the Michigan Municipal
League, and advisor 10 the local
Charter Revision Commission,
when he spoke at joint Rot
ary-High Twelve luncheon at
the Masonic club rooms.
Sidwell made it clear, how
ever. that the league is service
agency, providing facts and
data to municipalities, but not
advocating any particular form
of government in preference to
another.
Fifty-six cities in Michigan
have adopted the manager ad-
ministration, and two more have
recently been added. Sidwell
said. Mount Clemens is one of
