Track Advises Use

Until Roads Dry Out
By Brian Bell. Jr.

AS late as last night. the on.
again, off f-again Bowie racing wa!
scheduled to resume tomorrow.
The report from the track wa:
that the racing strip is muddy but
in good condition. Workmen la.
bored on both the track and the
parking lots yesterday and were
to continue their work today.
Bill Ames, track publicity man
said many horses worked over the
track yesterday.
"A lot of horses were out ano
they worked tight on the rail-
Ames said. mo riders reported
any trouble.
"Mr. MacPhail Garry Mac
Phail. president of Bowie) left
here and said The only ones who
can stop racing at Bowie Monday
are God or Frank SMALL"
Threatened Switch.
Small, chairman of the Mary
land Racing Commission. had
threatened several times last week
to transfer Bowie racing to Pim-
lico. However, he said yesterday
he didn't think it would be neces-
sary to make the switch unless
Bowie was hit by more rain before
Monday. However, he did tell
MacPhail Pimlico was available if
Bowie was not in shape.
Although workmen have been
putting Stag and gravel on the
roads leading into the track and
on the parking area, the ap-
proaches were expected to be
muddy tomorrow. Therefore, AmeS
suggested patrons use the special
trains and buses rather than
drive. He added he felt sure the
parking area would be passable
but sloppy.
The $4,000 added Barbara
Frietchie Handicap, postponed
since Monday. will be the feature
of tomorrow's eight-race card
which begins at 12:45. The
$4,000 added Fort McHenry
Handicap will be held Thanksgiv-
ing Day as originally scheduled
and the $4,000 Maryland Gold
Cup, once set for yesterday, will
be run Saturday.
Closing Date Uncertain.
Bowie still has II days and six
races remaining for its program.
There has been no decision as yet
whether the meet will now run
through. December IL or 13 but
the racing commission probably
will grant the track an extension
through December 13. If the meet

The widespread rainfall. while
it has slowed down hunting and
fishing activities, has been a God
send to woods, waters and Wild
life in eradicating the danger of
further forest fires.
West Virginia has been the
greatest nearby sufferer from fire
this fall, more than 100000 acres
having been burned over. State
Forester Hayes E. Helmick says
the effect will be felt by West
Virginians for more than a gen.
Grafton. Enough land has been
burned over to provide every man,
woman and child in the State
with lot almost one third of an
acre in size.
The loss of small game has
been great and fish in the streams
will suffer for months to come
from drainage from the burned
over areas.
Great masses of dead fish have
been reported blanketing the wa
ters off the west coast of Florida
this fall. According to Albert M.
Day, director of the Fish and
Wildlife Service. this is the result
of a natural phenomenon which
occurs periodically in many parts
of the world.
Water and weather conditions
combine to support enormous
numbers of minute organisms
with the jaw-breaking name of
"dinoflagellates," which are be-
|lieved to be responsible for killing
the fish. Day says. It is, in other
words, a recurrence Of the "red
tide" which struck in the Gulf of
Mexico a few years ago and
caused so much CONSERVATION
among anglers.
The service has dispatched its
research vessel, the Alaska, from
its base at Galveston, Tex, to sur
Ivey the infected areas.
From Florida comes an interest
ing observation. In the course OF
the experimental feeding of quail
last year. wildlife biologists of the
Fish and Wildlife Service discov-
cred that ants were competing
with the quail for numerous nu-
|tritional seeds. Studies revealed
that the average colony of ants
consumed enough seeds daily to
feed 8 to 10 quail.
Maryland's Inland Game and
Fish Commission is calling atten-
tion to the fact that the upland

which opened November Is, ex-
tends until January 3, 1853, at
