Citing 1927 opinion of the

board classified professional base

case involved a violation by the
Philadelphia Athletics of the Amer

Pennsylvania 'blue laws" for playing
on Sunday.
Earlier, the National Labor Rela-

strike among the Pirates just before

Two Horsemen Facino
Grand Jury Action in
Bel Air Ringer Case
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BEL AIR, Md, Aug. 8.-Because
horses have characteristics like
human beings" two Wilmington
(Del) horsemen awaited grand jury
action in Maryland in a ringer"
case today and they have been
barred from all tracks in West Vir-
ginia.
The owners-Paul E. Middleton
and william F. Mink-were placed
under bond yesterday for action by
the September Hartford County
grand jury by Magistrate Paul Gro
min on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud and Of attempting to defraud
by substituting the horse Don't
Delay for All Flo at the Bel Air
track July "a.
Meanwhile, the West Virginia
Racing Association charged Don't
Delay ran at Charles Town four
times under the name of All Flo
this summer and ordered Middleton
and Mink barred from all tracks in
that State.
At the hearing yesterday in Bel
Air, Trainer Henry Bowyer-former
owner of Don't Delay-testif1ed he
visited the paddock there and rec
ognized Don't Delay, but did not
see the thoroughbreds name on the
program.
He told the court he recognized
the horse from it's "odd way of
standing" from leg scars and the
small size Of its ears.
Horses have characteristics like
human beings, suppose" he told
Cronin.
Several other trainers and track
officials testified at the hearing
that the horse entered as All Flo
and owned by Mink actually was
Don't Delay, owned by Middleton.
Defense Counsel Paul I. Rinard
did not contest the claimed identity
of the horse. which had been or

Mr.. Verman Kimbrough, the Sara
