Committee 10 Study Racing
With Emphasis on PimIico
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, April ga nine
man committee will make a thor
ough study of racing conditions
in Maryland with special interest
indicated in the Pimlico track.
The Legislative Council has
named the committee made up of
legislators. businessmen and rae
ing officials.
Senator c. Ferdinand Sybert,
Democrat. Of Howard County was
named to head the group. Other
members are E. Taylor Chewing
Prince Georges County horse
breeder: Delegate Guy johnson,
Democrat, of Cecil; Bruce Livie,
Baltimore County businessman
and breeder; Presley D. Bowen
Baltimore insurance man; Carle
Jackson, Baltimore insurance
man; Bruce Campbell. Pimlico
stockholder; Larkin H. Birming-
ham, Baltimore businessman. and
A. Herman Siskind, Baltimore
lawyer.
The Senate resolution asking for
a full investigation of Maryland
racing was made before the per-
sistent reports concerning the
closing of Pimlico were made pub
lie. But 1t was understood the
82-year-old track would be high

would take a big-league shortstor
to duplicate. And maybe some
of those I've seen around recently
couldn't do it,"
Shipley's baseball team has won
six of seven games, and in looking
over the batting averages yester-
day he couldn't see much reason
for all that success. Only two OF
his regulars are hitting over 800
and Faloney is one of them. He
has a 500 average, with nine hits
in 18 times at bat, to carry into
todays game against Bucknell.
Faloney has missed three of the
Terps' seven games because of an
ankle injured in the opening
game, but he's back in shape as
his fancy fielding and heavy hit
ting against George Washington
Monday proved.
Another player who has missed
a game or two because of an in
jury is Chester Hanulak. also q
Maryland football player and who
is leftfielder on Shipley's baseball
team.
That caused Jim Tatum, Mary
lands football coach, to comment
Look at that. Those other
coaches complain about theil
athletes playing football. They
say it's too rough and somebody's
liable to get hurt. Well. Faloney
and Hanulak didn't even tear q
hangnail with football last year
but the first baseball game they
play knocks them both out
II think I'm the one who ought
to complain. Baseball is too rough
for my football players"

Special Disp1teh TO The Star
LOUISVILLE, April 9.-One of
the most-talked-about horses of
the 1852 Kentucky Derby field is
Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Cousin, a
son of the French sire, Priam II.
Cousin, whose name is due to his
dam, My Auntie, was a bad post
actor last year, but ranked as one
of the speediest of the seasons
2-year -olds.
The colt spent the winter at
Santa Anita in California and
varying reports had circulated
here concerning his progress.
However, his first race as a s.
year-old should dispel any rumors
that the Vanderbilt colt isn't
ready.
Starting against Tom Fool, Pri-
mate and three other Derby hopes
in a 6-furlong event at Jamaica
Monday, Cousin ran a sparkling
race. He came from last place to
finish third, a neck back of Pri-
mate and another neck behind
the victorious Tom Fool.
Many thought Cousin showed
signs of being real slayer as he
was closing fast. Many horse
men had predicted great things
for him off his 2-year-old form,
but there were indications last

lyear that he was something of a
rogue. However, he ran kindly
Monday for Jockey Eric Guerin.
The Vanderbilt colorbearer
raced 10 times as a 2-year- old
facing the starter for the first
time on June II at Belmont. In
that race he finished fifth, but
came back from that effort to
win five straight races. The five
wins included the Great American
Stakes, Flash Stakes and Sara
toga Special.
In his seventh race. the Grand
Union Hotel Stakes, Cousin tasted
defeat for the second time when
Tom Fool. later acclaimed the
I2-year-old champion. beat him a
length. Cousin, however, prompt
ly avenged that beating by win
ming from Tom Fool in the
Hopeful
At Belmont in a special weights
race, which serves as a prep for
the Futurity, Cousin ran seventh
behind Hill Gail and others. He
followed this with another bad
effort in the Futurity itself in
which he was eighth.

BOSTON, April Eldridge
Thompson, a Quantico Marine
sergeant representing Washington,
D. c., is making a strong bid for
the outstanding boxing honors in

nights program of both semi

ington has an outside chance at
the team title with two other
semiflnalists still in the running,
but without Lee the going will be
tough.

National Capital is represented by
Billy Hill, 112-pounder. and Flem-
ing Butler, 156.
