Harness racing. once q county-fair
feature, Is expanding into an attrac-
ton for the big city customers, and
Washington is on the list OF cities
due soon to have easy access to sulky
races. Tracks are planned at Laurel
and Oxon Hill, but only Laurel's
probably will be ready this summer
Like the fiat race tracks, the har-
ness people are operating strictly
business proposition with pari-
mutuel betting. Many Of them
Laurel included, will run ut night
The United States Trotting Associa-
ton estimates that 40 harness tracks
In IL States will run this year. Every
track in a major center Of popula-
ton has clicked, an association Of
ficial says.
The Laurel track-Laurel Race
way is the official name-only re-
Gently received Government okay
for building materials, and since
then construction has been speeded
It's q race to get ready for the OPEN
ing day-June 81. There is supposed
to be 20 nights of racing between
June 81 and July 10, and r. H.
Hutchison, jr. president and gen.
eral manager of the Laurel Harness
Racing Association, promises that
the track definitely will open as
scheduled.
I'VE have the money; we have
the materials; contracts are signed
and work has started" said Hutch
ison. Contracts call for the barns
to be finished by May IS and the
grandstands by early in June. We
definitely will run this summer"
Laurel Raceway is located q mile
past Laurel on the west side Of the
Baltimore road. It's on the site of
the old Laurel Park training track.
A spur line from the B. 6s O. Rail-
road is on the property, which
means special trains will bring Gus

LEXINGTON, KY. Mar. 19.-
Plain Ben Jones y plenty high
on Coaltown, Calumet's bay
speedball.
Hes the fastest horse I've ever
handled" said Ben, q veteran
conditioner of Calumet aces.
The son of Bull Lea-Easy Lass
started turf circles to humming
last month when he toted 122
pounds over the 6-furlong route
at Hialeah in 1:09a5 to equal the
track record.
"It's not necessarily the time
nor the weight that impressed
me-" chimed in Trainer Bill Gin
negan, "It's the way the colt
did 1t. I never saw a horse win
50 easily"

Mats
Continued From Page C-l

I'm not bothered about him being
unable to pitch"
Despite high-sounding praise Of
the Mats young rookie pitchers,
none is likely to stick this season
If for no other reason than they'll
be more likely to develop pitching
regularly in the minors than
glimpsing occasional action.
A rookie, but a 30-year- vet
eran of the minors, Thompson prob
ably will survive along with the
CROP which represented the Mats
last season-Milo Candini, Cary,
Tom Ferrick, Mickey Haefner, Sid
Hudson. Masterson. Chick Pieretti,
Ray Scarborough and Early Wynn.
The Mats fashioned an 8-3 lead
against the Phillies yesterday at
Clearwater, but Kuhel inserted his
reserves In the fourth inning and
Philadelphia promptly scored three
runs when Jim Clark, alleged short
stop, wedged three errors into the
inning. Philadelphia continued its
attack, unloading 16 hits to whip
the Mats, 1910.
Both clubs found the range on a
right-f1eld fence only $50 feet re-
moved from nome plate. Al Kozar
hoisted two homers over that bar
rier and Sherry Robertson added
another for the Mats, while Al Flair
hammered two homers and a double
for the Phils.
Kozar's Homer Starts 1t.
Kozar's homer in the first inning
lifted the Mats into a 10 lead and
they increased it to 40 in the sec
ond inning at the expense of young
Curt Simmons on two walks, two
errors and singles by Robertson and
Johnny Sullivan. Flair's homer
sliced the Mats advantage to Al
In the second and the Phils added
two runs of Cary in the third on
doubles by Granville Hammer and
Harry Walker, plus Bert Haas
triple.
Doubles by Sullivan and Tom Nc
Bride and homers by Kozar and
Robertson boosted the Mats into an
3-3 margin and shelled Simmons
from the mound in the fourth, but
the Phils picked up six runs in the
two innings Curtis worked, adding
three more runs off Murray. The
Mats second team Dean Stafford
doubled and Earl Wooten singled
off Bob Roberts.

Noonday League

Although the Spicer Unit holds
first place in the MONDAY Local
Softball League, three-way tie
attracting plenty of interest eX-
lists in the standings. In addition,
two teams are also tied for the
next position.
National Supply, Auto-Lite
"B", and the Toledo Scales are
fighting hard to keep their posi-
tion in second place, while Auto
Lite "A" and Airway Electric are
battling on even terms with five
wins and five losses each.

ton is getting keen and that en-
thusiasm in the shops is running
high in the support in their re-
spectiVe teams.

Sofba|I League Playing In Second Round
Girls SoftbaU Team Wins At Whitehouse
Bretschneider
Hits Home Run

The Local IL Girls added
another game to their list of
softball victories when they
d e e tie d the Whitehouse
Girls, Monday night at White
house, Ohio, by the score of 5
to 2.
There are no defeats chalked
against the Local IL Girls so
far this season. They have won
six exhibition games this year,
including a game against a good
mems team.
Marty Farmer, ace pitcher for
the Local IL outfit, was in good
form against Whitehouse and
held the up-river girls to four
scattered hits, while her team
mates collected seven.
Edna Bretschneider, diminu-
tive Local IL shortStop, was the
batting hero of the contest as
she drove homerun, triple, and
double to account for three of
the Local IL runs. Betty Vorder-
berg brought in another run
when she drove a clean single to
right field.
Brings Applause
Vida Rose McAllister, playing
I first base for Local IL, brought
loud cheers from the large
crowd of fans when she made a
spectacular catch of line drive
in the sixth inning. Bases were
filled and the Whitehouse rally
was on, but the circus catch"
ended the threat.
Several out-of-town teams
have been scheduled for games
as the various girls teams in
Toledo seem a little timid in
booking games with the Local
IL Girls.
Games already scheduled for
the Local IL Girls are: July s.
Tony's Bakery Maids of Ere
mont, Ohio, night game at Nc
Carthy Stadium, in Highland
Park.
July 7-Tony's Bakery, return
game at Fremont, Ohio.
July 11-Clyde Cannery Girls
at B g. l. Field, Clyde, Ohio.
July IS Whitehouse Girls,
return game for Whitehouse
Homecoming.
July 17-Clyde Cannery Girls,
return game at Mccarthy Stad-
ium in Highland Park.
Manager Ann Gosbeth is
booking games for the month of
July with fast girls teams. Any
one interested in games is asked
to call her at Kingswood 7l19,
or call the Local IL Recreation
Director, Main 9126.

branches of the CIO, engaging
in two games.
Proceeds from the Annual
Baseball Night will again be

Local IL Summer Camp for the
entertainment and recreation OF

under privileged kiddies of To-
ledo.
The baseball players of the
four teams will donate their
services to the support of the
Annual Local IL program.

the Local IL baseball team, and
Harry Brubaker, manager of the
Champion Spark Plugs, will pre-
sent their strongest teams for
the game. Two other Union
teams will be selected by the
committee to play a preliminary

games, having lost most of the
games by slight margins, but the
team is becoming stronger in
each contest. The team is hav-
ing a difficult time getting start
ed, but baseball followers are of
the opinion that the Unionmen
have a strong team and will be
hard to stop once they get
started.
The local IL team begged
down after taking the lead in
the game, last Sunday, with the
Arnold Appliance outfit. The
game wound up with Local IL
on the short end of a IL to 6
score, but manager Robbins is
confident that the rest of the
scheduled games will have a
different ending. In that game
Dick Naugle took batting honors
with triple, double, and two
singles in five trips to the plate.
A new baseball flash was un-
covered in the person of George
Bohannon, who did a sensation
al job on third base after Rob-
bins transferred Dick Berkel to
first base. Dick looked good at
that position and will probably
play there for the rest of the
season.
Next Sunday the Local IL
baseball team will go into East
Toledo where they will meet the
Millbury A. c. at Navarro Park.
Game time is set for 800 p m.
Milford A. c. took an early
season game from Local IL and
the Unionmen are anxious to
even scores.
Ray Roob, pitching sensation
from Bowling Green University,
and his schoolmate, Jack Jere-
miah, will form the Local IL
battery, according to Manager
Robbins.
