Bowie Hopes
Buoyed by Rise
In Fans, Betting

Buoyed by Saturdays i'm
proved attendance and betting
figures. Bowie officials are hope
full that the upward trend con-
tinues as the Southern Maryland
track opens its first full week OF
the 1857 turf season today.
When 1906 fans turned out
Saturday and wagered $1,3l4,560
Bowie's betting average for the
first five days advanced to
$790.343.
This is far behind the 1888 600
daily average recorded at Bowie
last season. a 34-day March
April meeting. But the 1857
mark is expected to climb stead
lily as this unprecedented early
stand moves closer to warmer
days and some Of the fans leave
Florida.
Two Week End Stakes
Another factor which should
increase betting is the establish
ment Of form here on the horses
which have assembled at Bowie
from all sections of the country

gram will be two stakes attrac.
tions. the first running of the
George Washington Stakes Fri
day and the 10Th Burch Memo
rial Handicap the following
afternoon.
The George Washington, for
3-year-olds. carries $4,000
added value. while the Burch,
for = year-olds and up, is worth
$l2,500. Both events will be con-
tested at three-quarters of a
mile.
Although the George Washing
ton will not draw any of the
highly ranked 3-year-olds, it is
expected to pit 10 sophomores.

eligible for the Burch and 1t is
likely that the trio will have
another go at it, along with
Mrs. Ben Cohen's War Age. the
beaten choice in the Abraham

There was a report at Bowie
last week that Charles Town
would get another extension,
which would carry the meet
through March 8. Charles Town
will not seek any additional days
at this time and the session now
is scheduled to end Saturday, a
week later than the original
dates.
1t is estimated that the OPPOSE
ton OF Charles Town cuts
Bowie's betting by $4,000 to
$4,000 on weekdays and well
over a 100000 on Saturdays.
Last week end Charles Town
recorded a $273,038 betting
handle on nine races.-KELLY.

Terps Take0n
Deacs in Bid for
Second in ACC

Maryland's basketball tea m
could just about clinch second
place in the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference race with a victory over
Wake Forest tonight at Winston
Salem.
The Terps still would have to
beat Clemson here next Monday
night, but despite the Tigers re-
cent Improvement Maryland will
be solid favorite on its home
court. And if Maryland wins
both games Duke could tie the
Terps by winning its last four,
but that is unlikely.
Wake Forest, which started
slowly. and then won IA out of
Is games. is showing the strain
of carrying the toughest sched-
ule in the conference. The Dea-
cons have lost three of their last
four games and have dropped to
fourth in the conference with a
6-5 record. although outside the
ACC they're 10 and /.
Terps Sweep State
The Deacons had a 9-minute
ScoreleSs streak in their loss to
Duke at Durham Saturday night.
Maryland meanwhile continued
its comeback by beating North
Carolina State, 56-49. complet-
ing rare sweep for an ACC
team in a home-and- home series
with N. c. State. Maryland beat
the Wolfpack earlier at College
Park.
The Terps' only other game
this week is against Navy Sat-
urday afternoon at Annapolis.
George Washington will be out
to avert a shutout in the Big
Three series when the Colonials
entertain Georgetown tomorrow
night at Uline Arena in the big
game of the week here. Mary
land is 30 in the series, George

Earlier Win for Hoyas
Georgetown beat CIV handily
at the Hilltop. but the Colonials
have played their best basketball
OF the season in their last three
games. They lost to st. Johns
by point. beat William and

Georgetown still is unpredict-
able. but will be a slight favorite.

Bowie Makes Stiff Protest
On Pim|ico-LaureI Merqer
Race Commission
Hears LiIIis Hit
Monopoly Plan

BALTIMORE, Feb. 10 R).-
Donald C. Lillis, president Of
Bowie. today strongly opposed a
proposal to close Pimlico race
track and run a joint meeting at
Laurel.
This is the plan of monopoly"
by John D. Schapiro, president of
Laurel, Lillis charged at a hear
ing before the Maryland Racing
Commission.
Lillis said that if the commits
sion approved the joint meeting,
leaving only Laurel and Bowie
as major tracks in Maryland,
Bowie couldn't stand the gaff ~.
Bowie must be showed In the
background and Shapiro will
have accomplished his monop-
oily" Lillis said. I'm not going
to stay in Maryland racing and
run a secondary track"
Pimlico and Laurel say their
proposal is sufficiently flexible
to permit Bowies participation
Cites Previous Offers
Lillis said he had turned down
in the past offers for selling out
Bowie and concentrating all
Maryland major racing at Lau-
rel. He said he had refused to
turn Bowie into heap of junk
and take a back seat at laurel"
The definite plan of Pimlico
and Laurel outlined to the COM
mission called for each manage
ment to maintain its separate
identity and run distinct meet
ings of 40 days each at Laurel.
LilliS said that if Laurel has
80 days to Bowie's 40 and they
split the overhead they are bound
to be twice as prosperous as
Bowie"
Attending the meeting before
the commission were officials of
Pimlico. Laurel and Bowie as
we'll as representatives of the
Horsemen's Benevolent and Pro-
tective Association and the
Maryland Breeders Association.
D. Eldred Rinehart, chairman
OF the turf board, indicated over
the weekend that he thought the
switching OF Pimlico'S dates to
Laurel would enhance MARYLAND
racing and at that time there
appeared little doubt that his
fellow board members, E. Taylor
Chewing and Albert Singer.
would indorse his views officially
today and send the matter to the
Legislature for approval.
Merger Sought by Fail
The merger idea, presented to
the commission last Friday. also
calls for Pimlico. now owned by
Herman and Ben Cohen of
Baltimore. to buy half interest in
Laurel at the reported cost of So
million.
The two tracks are hopeful
that legislation on the merger
viii be approved at the present
session OF the Maryland Legisla-
ture so that the move would be
completed in time for the fall
race meeting at Laurel.
Rinehart pointed out that the
commission would require the
two racing associations to retain
their identities and that the DAYS
would not be Jumped together
SO as to make the two organiza-
tons indistinguishable.
The Preakness is MARYLAND
racing and must be maintained"
Rinehart said. But think of
40 days in the spring at Laurel
with the PreakneSs as the climax
and 40 days in the tall with the
Washington. D. c.. International
as the high point"
The principal complaint of
Baltimore racing fans protesting
Plmlico's closing was that the
Ola Hilltop was the sentimental
center of Maryland racing and
that the State never could re-
gain what the old place meant
TO the sport.
