MucPhuiI Held
Guilty.; Bowie
Ban Stands
By the Asseeioted Pres,

BALTIMORE. April 3o.-The
Maryland Racing Commission
today found Larry MacPhail,
former president of Bowie Race
Track, guilty of conduct detri-
mental to the sport.
AS punishment, it banned him
from entering the track for the
duration of the Bowie meeting
which ends Saturday.
MacPhail did not appear or
offer any defense to charges he
used profane language in the
clubhouse April IL. He was track
president then.
MacPhail has been barred
from the track since April IA by
the commission. Three days
later. the Bowie directors re-
moved MacPhail as president and
named Donald c. Lillis, New
York investment banker. to re-
place him.
The commission last Thursday
heard three horsemen testify
that MacPhail had swore at them
during an argument at the track.
The commission gave Mac
Phail until today to offer re-
buttal. His lawyer, William Mac
MILAN, told the commission he
had been unable to locate his
client for the past several days.

Long Homers Likely
To Revive Charges
OF Souped-Up Ball
BY the Associated Press

If the current rash of long
ball hitting in the majors con-
tinues. they're going to have to
supply the bleacherites with out
fielders' gloves and the pitchers
are going to start the old lament
that the ball is being souped up
again.
First 1t was Mickey Mantle of
the Yankees, then Ed Mathews
of the Braves. then Mantle again
and now Joe Adcock of the
Braves has gotten into the derby
for long-distance smuggling. And
the season is less than three
weeks old.
Mantle still holds the record
for the campaign. his first homer
travelling SOS feet at Griffith Sta
dunn That probably won't be
equaled for long time to come.
Adcock's blow yesterday off
the Giants Jim Hearn came
with one on and helped the
Braves to 80 triumph.
It was the first ball ever hit
into the centerf1eld bleachers of
the Polo Grounds during a reg
ular season game. Schoolboy
Rowe, then Detroit pitcher, hit
one there during batting prac-
tice before an exhibition game
in 1888, and Luke Easter,
now of the Cleveland Indians,
found the mark when he was
playing in a Negro league.
The ball travelled ATS feet and
Adcock, who is not noted as
long-ball hitter, probably was
the most astonished bloke in the
park.
1T surprised the heck out of
me-" he said II knew I had got
ten good wood on the ball, but
I never thought it was going to
travel that far"
The hit came in the third in
ming, and the Giants eventually
tied the game. AS things turned
out, the Braves had to win it
in the ninth when Hoyt Wilhelm

racing. once the sport Of kings,
is threatening to become the
king of sports in America, at
least from an attendance stand
point, the New York Times said
today.
The Times said a survey
showed attendance at running
and trotting tracks booming
while crowds are declining at
major league baseball games
and in such sports as basketball
and football.
The paper. in a front-page
story by Stanley Levey, cited
these figures:
Last year 29,177,027 persons
f1ocked to II major running
tracks in the United States and
Canada, an increase of 2,160,026
over 1851.
Last year, 16.703,5 500 attended
the trotting races, making a total
of 45.880.617.
Baseball Attendance Down.
In those same two years major
league baseball attendance
dropped from 16,126.676 to a.
635.457, while minor league
attendance declined from IT,
625.529 to 26,3O5,3
Major league attendance has
been on a downward trend since
1913. when the record gate of
20.920,842 was set.
Similar Slumps have been
noted in football and basketball.

Two days from now the bands will play
"My Old Kentucky Home" and the Derby
horses will nince onto the track, but none
of the riders will be wearing the familiar,
