Bowie Fights Merger
OF PimIico, Laurel
As Row Develops
BY the Asseeiafed Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 2.-An in
ternal squabble over consolidation
of Pimlico and Laurel horse rae.
ing tracks developed today with
Bowie opposing the merger.
John w. Farrell, president Of
the Southern Maryland Agricul-
tural Association which operates
Bowie, said last night the group
would actively oppose the console
dation before the General AS
sembly.
The Maryland Racing Commits
sion last week informed Gov. w.
Preston Lane, jr., that the clos
ing of Pimlico and transfer to
Laurel was desirable for strength
ening" the State racing situation.
1t offered a bill to implement the
transfer which the Governor said
he would "favorably recommend"
Farrell, at Bowie press recep-
ton, said:
1--WE are opposed to the concen-
tration of so much power in one
organization (the Maryland joe
key Club. Ever since the present
management has been in power
it has been seeking more. 1t will
destroy racing in Maryland. Let's
spread it out"
The Maryland Jockey Club owns
Pimilco and a majority stock in
Laurel.
Farrell said the proposed merger
would result in too much concen-
tration of racing in Southern
Maryland.
1T would give Laurel so days,
Marlboro "a half mile track 10
days. and Laurel Raceway "a
harness track 20 nights"
The consolidation would leave
the 100 days in Maryland split
among three tracks instead of the
present four with Laurel getting
half.
Farrell said if Bowie was un-
successful in blocking the merger,
it would at least ask for equitable
division of the 100 days among
three tracks-33 days apiece.
The Bowie president said the
association already had informed
the Governor of its opposition and
had begun agitation among the

REDSKINS DEFEAT WILLARD AS
NOWAKOWSKI SCORES 80 POINTS

Despite the fact that six-foot,
seven-inch Jim Nowakoski looped
in 33 points to come within one of
his all-time high, Port Clinton's
Redskins defeated Willard, 81 to
55, Friday night before a capacity
crowd in the local auditorium.
1t was the 18th victory in 16
starts for Willbond's men as they
completed the regular season. In
scoring 904 points to TAO for the
opposition, the Redskins lost only
to Fremont st. Joe, Toledo Wood
ward and Toledo Waite and two
close decisions to Bellevue.
While the Redskins seemed to
have things under control through
out the game, Coach Willbond
took no chances as the tall No
wakowski could explode in a scor-
ing rash at any moment.
Despite Nowakowski's extreme
heighth, he was often outjumped
by the Redskin center, Harold
"Nook" Masing, who thrilled the
crowd with his defensive work.
Dave Krupp, Bill Belshaw, Andy
Migala and Bill Fritz again exhib-
tied some brilliant passing work
which dazzled the opposition, but
every Redskin had difficulty with
lanky Jim.
Gene McEndre, a tiny fleet for
ward, opened the scoring for Will
lard with a free throw. Masing
tied the score seconds later and
the first quarter became a nip-and-
tuck battle with the Redskins hold
ing the advantage, II to 16, at the
whistle.
Andy Migala hit the mesh with
three long shots in the second
period and added a free throw and
Masing tossed in three goals to
give the Redskins a ten-point lead,
35 to 25, at intermission.
Willard used II men during the
game, while only six Redskins saw
action, Wepler substituting for
Migala during the second and
fourth stanzas.
Four Redskins had four fouls
called against them. Krupp,
Fritz, Malaga and Belshaw. Mas
ing had three and Wepler, one.
Willard lost guard Bob Thornton
via the five-foul route late in the
last stanza. Only two fouls were
called against the skyscraping
Nokawowski.

Bill Belshaw, who with Masing
and Fritz will be back next year
to form the bulwark of the new
Redskin squad, paced the scoring
with II points. Masing and Krupp
took runner-up honors with Is
points each; Andy Migala added

in the first inning; seven in the

Falls Church Council Denies
1t DELAYS Suit Over Schools

The Falls Church City Council last
night replied to charges that it has
delayed filing suit against Fairfax
County to determine which juris-
diction should control city schools.
City Attorney La Rue Van Meter
said the suit would be filed today.
The City Council approved a let
ter by Mayor Albert M. Orme, in
which he said action had been de-
layed by the Fairfax County Board
of Supervisors, its chairman and the
Commemorative attorney.
1.-The Falls Church Common Coun-
cil," the Mayor said, Sc has
in every instance taken the initia-
tive in these matters which are
equally the responsibility of the Of
f1cials of Fairfax County"
The controversy arose when Falls
Church became a second-class city
last August. A special act of the
1912 General Assembly barred Falls
Church from assuming control of
schools within its boundaries If it
