The Maryland Racing Com
mission. which earlier said it
would make no changes in the
States 1854 racing dates, ap-
parently has had a change Of
heart and will answer the SOS
of two half-mile tracks and one
harneSs-racing course.
D. Eldred Rinehart, chairman.
said the commission is thinking
of shifting Bel Airs September
meeting to August 4.14. and CIV
ing the September 90 October 80
dates, formerly assigned to Bel
Air, to Cumberland.
This switch would enable
Cumberland to transfer its meet
ing to Marlboro to avoid conflict
with Charles Town. It would be
agreeable to Bel Air. which was
disturbed by the prospect Of
competing with the World Series.
Any hopes of revamping the
mile track dates were squelched
Friday when the commission re-
fused to permit Laurel to adj
vance its opening date from
March %, to Saturday. March

There was no outcry from

when the advanced collection

he was speaking only for himself.

made progress in the Legislature
the commission undoubtedly
will take some action toward re-

Donald Lillis, the New Yorker

it would be "a terrible mistake"
He said the race tracks in New

THE additional tax would
mean that the tracks would wind
