Steward Named
For Ocean Downs


Wayne Groves of Cleveland, O.,
one of the country's outstanding
authorities on harness racing, has
been appointed presiding steward
for Ocean Downs Raceway, the
S650,000 harness racing plant that
will introduce big-time racing at
Ocean City, Md, on fMaryland's
Eastern Shore when it opens 20
night meeting July %.
Groves selection was announced
by H. Courtenay Jenifer, chairman
Of the Maryland Racing Commits
sion. The veteran official now is
presiding judge at RosecrOft Race
way in 0xon Hill, Md. and will
serve in the same capacity at Lau-
rel Raceway when that track opens
IA 20-night meeting June "a.
President Theodore Fletcher of
Ocean Downs Raceway announced
at the same time that associate
judges would be announced later.
Grove, who has made a big hit
with hOrsemen and fans alike dur
ing the Rosecroft meeting, was pre-
siding judge at Harrington.
At the same time that the an
nouncement was made of Groves
appointment, Fletcher revealed that
Marylands newest race track is
/ just about ready for it's inaugural
meeting. Conceived by Eastern
Shore men, and backed largely by
Eastern Shore money, Ocean Downs
will be the Sho' Folks answer to
the large running tracks in other
parts of Maryland.
Groves started his career with
i Charley Dean, one of the foremost
drivers of his day, in 1910, and
later became stable manager for
Dean, thus beginning one of the
longest and most colorful harness
racing careers in the country. He
has served as course clerk, start
er, and as a Writer for turf maga.
zines.
He can still get on a sulky anC
do a bang up job and is rated by
horsemen and trainers as a fail
but stern judge. His reputation has
been born out in Maryland where
he cracked down several times a
the 194S Laurel meeting, and alsC
this year at ROsecrOft.

Delaware's oldest ferry line,
Cannon's ferry at Woodland, es-
tablished a modern record last
month when 736 trips across the
Nanticoke River were recorded.
The log shows that 965 cars. As
pedestrians, two tractors and three
scooters were ferried across the
lazy waters.
The historical ferry line, which
has served the public since 1893
when Isaac and Betty Cannon were
granted the right to operate ferry,
is now owned and operated by the
State Highway Commission and
serves as a link in the public road
system of the state.
1t operates from sun-up to SUM
down and is captained by Harry
Morris, who last year succeeded the
late William S. Massey, who was
in charge for many years.
The present boat is 36 IA with
a depth of two feet and is capable
of carrying two cars. 1t is power
driven and is propelled by means
of cable which lies on the rivers
bottom when not in use.
j The old ferry was recently men
toned by the Historical Society OF
