BALTIMORE. Aug. 3l.-The

meeting today in closed session
preparatory to = public hearing
within the next two weeks. The
commission is con m plating 9
changes in its operation of receiv-
ing barns and 1t has plenty of evil
dence that horsemen are opposed to
these barns which have been used
since 1916.
George P. Mahoney, then the
chairman. established the barn
where all horses to be raced are
brought two hours before post time
and given q saliva test for stimu-
lants. Trainers threatened to strike
until Mahoney agreed that they
would not be responsible or punished
for any doped horses.
Janney, who succeeded Mahoney
last year, said last week the COM
mission now Is considering abadon-
Ing the prerace saliva test. The
receiving barn would be retained,
however, and owners and trainers
made responsible for condition of
their charges.
Janney said the changes were con-
Sidered after three cases Of doping
were discovered in postrace tests at
Maryland's half-mile tracks this
summer.

and will be hard to move.
Sandifer Is Powerful Runner.
Sandifer runs like Livingston
whose movements are the poetry OF
motion. Both have long reaches to
tip the ball and big. soft hands to
cradle it. One-hand circus catches
are routine for them in practice. 1t
might be different in the game when
pressure is on, but you don't get
that impression looking at the
workouts.
Sandifer's long, powerful stride
lays him open for fake by a smart
speedy halfback, but the coaches
have used Bones Taylor against him
to show him what to expect from
Tom Fears and other Ram ends and
Dan has done we'll enough to earn
the starting assignment.
Mont and Livington are alike, too,
in a mechanical way. No Redskin
passer has been able to catch them
of balance or out of position con-
sistently in passing drills. Although
not noted for speed, Mont has the
knack of getting to the ball with
surprising alacrity. Part of this can
be attributed to his judgment in siz-
ing up play. and the rest to follow
ing orders. Nor is the former Mary
lander as slow as he seems by COM
parison with speedier backs.
Ends Primed for Defense.
The secondary will not bear the
defensive burden alone. End Coach
Wayne Millner has Paul Mckee and
Jim PEBBLES primed to blow down

guards and tackles-not too often

Seal Matchmakers Meet Failure

AUGUSTA, Me. (P) - Commis- sioner E. Reeds first effort as a marine matchmaker was blighted today by cold biological fact.
 Fur seals and hair seals, he learned, have no romantic interest in, each other.
 Reed, chief of the Maine sea and shore fisheries department, suggested the match Jan. 25, after Emory F. Tobin of Ketchikan, asked for Main seed Holsters to start lobster industry in the Ter ritory.
 The Maine coast has a surfeit of hair seals, of little or no commer- cial value. AS a swap for the seed Holsters, Reed suggested that To- bin send some fur seals to be used in an attempt to improve the Maine seal strain.
 Tobin's reply described the fur seal as a species of sea lion, in whose love life the hair scala distant cousin, perhaps-plays nc part.
