LEXINGTON. KY, May 5-Some
of Senator A. B. (Happy) Chambers
Woodford County neighbors joined
today with other Blue Grass race
horse breeders to challenge the new
high commissioner OF baseball for
declaring race tracks oT-limits to
baseball players.
The Thoroughbred Club of Amer
lea, whose membership includes
some OF the biggest names in the
breeding business, adopted without
dissenting vote a letter drafted
by the board of directors inviting
Chandler to explain why he singled
out horse racing as an evil influence
to the sport he commands. The
letter was read by j. A. Estes.
You have declared that you will
keep baseball free from race track
gambling and any other kind of
gambling" the letter stated. These
statements contain certain innuen-
does calculated to influence public
opinion concerning racing.
This letter is to inquire whether
1t is a settled policy on the part
OF organized baseball, which you
represent, to continue maligning the
sport of horse racing"
Chandler was raked for choosing
the newspaper medium ito convey
that advice" to players, the letter
adding that when you state that
going to races is matter to pro-
woke public censure,' it definitely
becomes our business"

The relay title, usually settled
with 1-mile romp in the Penn
Relays but not contested in the
Quaker carnival this year because
of lack of material, was tailored
to fit the c. U. bowl.
Only other double winner OF the
day was Hopkins Lou Rosenthal
who captured both sprint events.
Catholic University's Chester
Hackett lost thrilling mile run
to Gallaudet's Rudy Hines, but
squared accounts in the 2-mile test
with brilliant stretch run. He
finished half block in front.
The Cardinals also turned in a
surprising win in the relay with
smooth baton handling deciding the
race. The winning quartet Joe
Dunn, Bill Lyon, Al Marchigiani

stick without a slip and when Gal

took long lead that stood them
in good stead in the stretch.
