The flve-year-o bay, carrying
103 ponds. soon moved into a
commanding lead and was wing
ing along all the way to the wire.
The mile-and-one- sixteenth event
was clocked at laps.
Your Host, winner of 1894, ,795 in
% previous trips to the post, was
hanging back around fifth going
down the backstretch. Then
Guerin gave the handsome chest

move up on the pace setter and

Then came the mishap at the

II was driving through on the
inside when Your Host apparently
ran up on Renown's heels" Guerin
said. Then he went down"
Jockey Ray York, just behind
Your Host. said the horse "fell
hard" and that his own mount,
Repeluz, manged to leap over
the fallen Your Host.
Your Host scrambled to his feet
and Guerin got up after a few
seconds. Luckily, the track was
soft-ofhcially labelled good-after
the sun had dried up its earlier
condition.
Soon the tracks horse ambu-
lance caught up with Your Host
and took him off the track. Guerin
was examined for possible injuries
and pronounced all right.
Gilbert First Jinx Victim.
The injury jinx began early in
the meeting when Jockey Johnny
Gilbert was thrown in a pileup
and suffered a fractured vertebra.
He is still in the hospital with his
neck in a cast.

Bank Starts Buying
Out Stockholders in
Havre de Grace Track
By the Associated Press

HAvRE DE GRACE, Md, Jan.
13.-Sale Of stock preparatory to
closing down the picturesque
Havre de Grace race track started
today.
The 38-year-old plant, known
in turf circles as The Graw, is
to be sacrificed to competition
from nearby New Jersey and Della
ware. The three remaining mile
tracks in Maryland Pimlico,
Laurel and Bowie-are figured
to be better equipped to keep up
with modern racing.
The original idea behind the
sale was to divide the Is days now
allotted each track among the
remaining three.
Stockholders voted 1911 to 1874
to sell, on recommendation of
their directors.
Bank Starts Buying.
The Union Trust Co. immedi-
ately began buying the 5000
shares at 1925 apiece for a total
OF $1,800,000. The bank is repre-
senting Pimlico and Laurel.
While the Bowie track is not
represented now in the deal, Mil
ton A. Reckord, Havre de Grace
president, said he thought it prob
ably would be eventually.
John Shapiro. president of
Laurel, said Bowie has kept out
because of managerial trouble.
The Bowie directors yesterday
ousted John w. Farrell as Presi-
dent and Howard S. Pierce as
secretary Mrs. Josephine O'Hara,
a relative Of General Manager l..
Ed. O'Hara, was put in as presi-
dent and the action may be- taken
to court.
Conditions Of the Pimlico and
Laurel offer to buy include sale
of two-thirds of the 5000 shares
by February /. Gen. Reckord said
he assumed all those who voted
favorably for the sale would offer
their stock by then.
Mrs. Burke to Sell.
Mrs. Edward Burke, largest sin
gle stockholder, said she would.
The widow of the tracks founder,
Mrs. Burke owned 984 shares, for
which she will receive 1921 400.
Gen. Reckord said that even if
some unforeseen hitch develops
and the February l deadline is
not met, there will be no racing
at Havre de Grace. In that event,
he said,, the Racing Commission
will be asked to assign the Graw
1851 dates, to be run at one of
the other tracks.
After the sale goes through
finally, it will be UP to the Mary
land Legislature to divide up the
Graw's Is days.
