BY the Associcfsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 23.-
Aaron Greenfield of Baltimore asked
the Court Of Appeals today to order
the Maryland Jockey Club to let
him watch and bet on the horse
races at Pimlico.
Through counsel, Greenfield said
he had ben ushered from the Pim-
lico track on two consecutive days
of the 1916 spring racing season.
Employees of the jockey club
which operates both Pimlico and
Laurel, refused to give any law
full reason for ejecting him." his
attorneys asserted.
The clubs attorneys argued that
as private corporation the club may
order any one from the track with
out assigning any reason"
Counsel on both sides studiously
avoided any background of the in
cidents on April 20 and 80, 1916,
and any further Identification OF
Greenfield. Their briefs dwelled
solely on whether the club has the
right to exclude any patron it
chooses.
The case began in Baltimore City

Judge w. Conwell Smith upheld the
jockey clubs objection and dis
missed Greenfeld's bill of complaint
The Baltimore man now asks

a decree asserting that If he pays

Big Jack Kramer has shown
Washington tennis addicts what the
big game operating on all cylinders
can do to the best of the stonewall
games. He decisively defeated Bob
by Riggs, 1947 professional cham
pion, Ga, e3, at Uline Arena last
night before an enthusiastic record
breaking crowd of 1924.
Coming to the net behind his
high-bounding services, Kramer vol
leyed Riggs returns for aces or
forced Riggs to send up lobs that
he put away with terrific smashes.
Riggs never had a chance with the
big 1947 amateur champion, his
getting ability going for naught in
the face of the hard serves, drives
and volleys of Kramer. BY winning
last nights match, Kramer pulled
even with Riggs at Gall in their
60-match contest to decide the
worlds best player.
Before the main event went on
Dinny Pals of Australia and Pan
cho Segura of Ecuador divided sets
in preliminary match that had
its share of thrills. Segura won the
first set at 6- and Pals, the 1947
Australian champion, took the sec
ond at 10-8. The third set was
called to allow the main event to
60 on. This is the third time the
two players have tied in the series,
with Pals winning eight of the
other matches to Seguras seven.
Kramer Never Wrong.
The cord-breaking crowd saw q
Kramer who could do no wrong. He
started by winning the first game
at love. Riggs fought back by
coming to the net under his serve,
but usually he was caught halfway
to the net and had to volley up.
In the eighth game, Kramer broke
through Riggs by passing the Chi
cagoan with sizzling backhand
down the line and then sending a
sharp crosscut drive past Riggs as
he charged the net. Riggs then
made two errors to lose the game,
making it 5-3 for Kramer.
Kramer ended the set in the next
game, but not before Riggs had
reached add, Kramer's overhead
pulling that point out.
The Californian continued his hot
play in the second set, breaking
through in the, third game after
Riggs led 400. Kramer now was
passing Riggs down the line, hitting
four sizzling drives to make the
break through and give him the
lead, 81.
From here on Kramer concen-
trated on winning his service and
though he did not score an ace in
the whole match his cannon ball
delivery was the big gun that

It stated further that the re-
