Answer to Question I:

Answer to Question I:
Governor Eden, last Colonial
Governor of Maryland and an
ancestor of Anthony Eden of
England, owned the famous race
horse "Whynot," one of the
greatest race horses of his day.
Governor Eden is buried at the
State House in Annapolis. Gov
ernor Bowie also owned the
great race horse, "Crickmore,"
in the 1905. "Crickmore" beat
the famous Hindu" Truly, horse
racing is a Maryland tradition.
Answer to Question 2:
The Gentlemen of the Mary
land Jockey Club who operate
Pimlico will tell you that two
people-and two people only
pay the bills for Maryland rae
ing. These two are the horseman
who brings his horse to Pimlico
and the man or woman who
comes to Pimlico to witness the
racing. The State of Maryland
contributes no money to Mary
land racing. That is why, at Pim-
leo, the horseman and the public
come first in all considerations.
Answer to Question 3:
Although Pimlico handles a
great deal of money, Pimlico's
dividends are less than two per
cent. Why? Because of all the

Through Tuesday night the Owls
had completed "a double plays-45
at home and 40 on the road. With
SO more games to be played (if
they get them all in) the boys stand
d good chance of hanging up new
record for double plays in one sea-
son.
With the York three-game series
washed out the past week end and
the two-game series in Wilmington
also rained out, the Owls moved
over to Allentown, where a double
header was scheduled for last night,
followed by single games tonight
and tomorrow night. The team
comes home on Saturday for another
weekend series with York.
Tied with Allentown for fourth
place, with both teams just half
game behind the third-place Sun
bury Yankees, Bunny Griffths has
d good chance of bringing his gang
home on Saturday, perched up there
in third place-here's hoping.
One of the things that gripes me
more than anything else is the way
some fans (very much in the mi
nority) blame Bunny Griffiths for
every game that the Owls lose and
every error that the team makes
And, to make it worse, the biggest
beefs come from fans who enter
through the pass gate!
If Bunny orders a batter to lay
down a bunt, they scream to the
high heavens that he should have
signalled the batter to hit away; if
a player is out of position on a
play, the wolves blame Bunny for
not moving him over; if a pitcher
hasn't got his stuff, it's Bunny's
fault
Apparently, what these grand
stand managers want, is to have
long string tied to every player on
the field, with Griffiths manipulating
the strings as if his players were
a bunch of marionettes.
In my book, it's time these critics
learned that players are expected
to do a little thinking for them
selves.
When a left-hander is at the plate,
particularly one who is known for
his ability to hit a grass-cutter to
right, the second baseman should
know enough to move back and a
little to his left, without having to
be told. And by the same token, the
outfelders, who have been facing
the opposing batters all season,
should know, without being told,
whether to play them straight away,
or to move to the right or left.
And finally, it's time these critics
learned that when manager orders
batter walked, it's not always be-
cause of his power at the plate. In
fact, more batters are Intentionally
walked to set up possible double
plays, or to give a play at every
base, than for any other reason.
l realize that razzing the UNI
pires and the opposing players is
part of the grand old game, but it's
about time that the few l am crit
icising. realize that loyalty to the
home team is also part of the game
and a look at the standings should
convince them that Bunny Grifiths
is doing as well, if not better, than
any other manager in the league.
When the season opened Bunny
told me that he expected to have
his team finish in the first division
