Race al Bowie

Despite preolctions OF more
rough weather, Bowie expects
to entertain at least $4,000 rae
ling fans this afternoon for its
first week end program Of the
1857 season. The chief attrac-
ton is the $4,000 Miss Mary
land Stakes, which drew a we'll
matched field of nine 3-year-
old fillies.
If the anticipated crowd turns
out. the Southern Maryland
track should record its first
million-dollar betting day of the
year to bolster the lowly wager
ing average which now stands
at only $685., 287 after four days
of the 4l-day meeting.
The Miss Maryland Stakes, at
5h2 furlongs. promises to be a
likely contest which could prove
difficult to figure. In all proba-
hility. Mile. Dianne. owned and
bred by Howard Polk of Alex
andria. Va. will be a slight IA
vorite over Lawrence w. Jen-
nings' Granny Annie.
Race Beine. Broadcast
Radio fans will get a descrip-
ton of the Miss Maryland
Stakes on WRC through a mont
tor broadcast at 4::30 pm.
4 Mile. Dianne, who recently ar
rived at Bowie from Florida, Is
gifted with plenty of speed, as
she indicated in the Jasmine
Stakes at Hialeah. Although she
finished no better than fifth In
the Jasmine. she was not dis
graced with such fillies as Pam
per Me and Light N Lovely in
front Of her.
Nick Shuk. who has taken the
lead among the Bowie jockeys,
will ride Mile. Dianne.
Certain to be we'll backed also
lis Granny Annie. a daughter of
Your Host and Winter Wheat,
who won on opening day at
Bowie. Last Tuesday she ran
S furlongs in a sizzling $685. and
beat two Of the opponents
Hoosier Honey and Mandalay
Missile meets this afternoon.
Sliper0o a Factor
Capable of supplying an upset
is Tom M. Girdler's Sliperoo,
who makes her seasonal bow and
will be coupled with Melvin H,
Schlossberg's Nina Girl. Both
are trained by Bernie Bond.
Sliperoo. who was fourth in
Pimlico's Marguerite Stakes in
her last start. has been training
Iimpressively. indicating she will
be at her peak for today's dash
Another Florida invader with
AN excellent chance is /. j. Col
Inns Herbs Miss. the lone stakes
winner in the field. She was Just
a nose behind Mile. Dianne in
the Jasmine and won the Ohio

Completing the field are the

|Dwyer Expected
TO Push DeIany
||nMi|e Tonight
World Indoor Record
Possible; Courtney
Races SoweII Again

NEW YORK, Feb. is (R.-It
Fred Dwyer proves as deter
mined as advance notices would
indicate, the world indoor mile
record Of 4:03.6 could topple
tonight in the New York Ath-
letic Club Games at Madison
Square Garden.
Not that Dwyer will be the
one to break it. Ron Delany,
olympic 1,500-meter champion
from Ireland and Villanova, is
Ia much more likely candidate.
It's like this:
Delany has had an easy time
lighting of his rivals In the past
two years on the indoor circuit.
To say Delany fought" them
of is flattering his opponents
somewhat. No one even has
managed to give the 22-year-
old Irishman a semblance of
IA fight.
Met Last in California
This Is where Dwyer comes
lin. He and Delany haven't met
since last June in Compton
Calf, when Ron ran his 1855
mile. Dwyer. who was third ir
that race, was timed in 4:00.8.
Dwyer. a former Villanova star
wants to 60 under four minute!
sometime before the summer
and while he would not be sc
rash as to predict success in thi,
particular meet, he doesn't aim
to let Delany beat him without 9
battle.
No one knows how fast Delany
can 60 on the boards because he
never has really been tested. II
Dwyer can push him by building
up a big lead and then try te
fight of Ronnie's finishing kick
Gunnar Nielsen's indoor stand
ard could fall.
For pacemaking purposes
there are Jim Beatty of North
Carolina. Ike Malta Of New York
u, Phil Coleman of Chicago
George King of Boston and Burr
Grim Of Maryland.
Other than the mile. there is
another meeting between Arnie
Sowell and Tom Courtney in the
half mile, q three-pronged battle
among LaSzlo Tabori. Horace
Ashenfelter and John Macy in
the two-mile and Charlie
enkins-Reggie Pearman dual in
the 500.
SowelI Mark in Danger
There is every indication that
either Sowell or Courtney will
break Armies week-old indoor
record Of l:S0.3 for the half mile.
Sowell has beaten Courtney
eight straight times indoors,
although Courtney has won the
outdoor big ones-including the
Olympic 800 meters.
Tabor has been beaten in all
four of his inooor starts in this
country. but the word is that the
Hungarian runner is about ready
for a fast race. Macy. a refugee
from Poland. will set a fast pace,
while Ashenfelter. holder Of the
world indoor record Of 8:50.4. has
won this race six years in row.
jenkins. the Olympic 400
meter titlist, has been having a
bad season. but he should be
able to beat the aging Pearmen,
who last week won his first race
in the Garden in three years.
Ira Murchison is the favorite
in the 60-yard dash. Milt Camp
bell in the 60-yard hurdles. Bob
Richards in the pole vault. Parry
O'Brien in the shotput and
Ernie Shelton in the high Jump.

Allareas about q home should
be carefully planned, but @
narrow, restricted one such as
is illustrated, requires special
consideration. Space limitations
dictate plant sizes in cramped
areas-and the wrong selection
can result in ugliness rather
than beauty.
In this plan the Hatfield Yew
holding down the corner Of the
house plays an important role.
It is a shrub that will reach
q height of 20 feet and grow
considerably wider than Is
shown here-but it grows
rather slowly and can easily
be kept within bounds by clip
ping once q year. This is best
done in late spring when 1t
shows new growth. Its at
tractive dark green color and
unique natural form made the
Hatfield one of the best Of the
yews.
Climbing the trellis and
running along the caves Of the
garage is a firethorn, usually
a shrub, but one which NAV
be trained to grow in the man
ner shown here. Its leaves are
q lustrous green-evergreen in
the South-but even its attrac-
tive foliage is not its main
claim to glory. That lies in its
brilliant scarlet berries, pro-
duced In the autumn in great
profusion. These decorative
fruits remain until well into
the winter.
Laland firethorn Pyracantha
coccinea lalandi) is o very pop
ular variety. Support for the
plant along the caves Of the
garage is furnished by brackets
screwed to the fascia board and
connected with aluminium wire.
Brackets may be unfastened
and removed at painting time.
Splash Of Color
Even in such q narrow space,
q brilliant splash of spring
color can easily be attained by
planting tulips, 6 or z inches
apart, keeping them close
to the house. A good COM
bination for planting next to a
white or gray house would be

Questions and Answers
@. When is the best time to
start crabgrass control?
A. In June. At that time
crabgrass has begun to grow
but is still tender: It will re-
spond best at this time to
treatment by the various con-
troll chemicals on the market.
If you wait until crabgrass be-
comes old. tough, and we'll
rooted, these chemicals do not
work so well. Then your only
recourse is pulling it out by
hand. Another good time for
control for this pesky grass is
in September when it begins
to seed. BY close moving you
can destroy much Of the seed
before it natures.
@. I have q tulip tree but So
far I have seen no tulips on it.
Do these trees really produce
tulips?
A. Your tree may be too
young to produce tulips-but it
will, eventually. The tulips are
2 to 8 inches long, Of green
ish yellow and marked by
a band Of orange. Even when
the tulip tree Is in bloom the
flowers are not conspicuous be-
cause they are hidden by the
leaves.
