This good news for sportsmen

based entirely upon spring and
summer reports from nesting areas
and not upon the annual winter
inventory.

Consolation Daily Double
Removes Betting Inequity

BALTIMORE, Mar. al It's
tough enough to pick two straight
winners at the race tracks. That

than fair when you pick the first
half of q daily double and then get
back only your 50 when they
scratch your selection in the Sec
ond race.
Yet that's the way It's been
in Maryland.
Starting Friday at Laurel, this
situation has been corrected. The
Maryland Racing Commission yes

lowers.
All the money bet in combina-
tons with scratched horses in the
second race will be put in a special
pool. This will be divided among
those who had the first winner.
