BY JOSEPH B. KELLY

CHARLES TOWN. w. Va,

sion already has granted extra

ill, was unavailable for COM
ment.
The West Virginia Racing
Commission met yesterday at
its Charleston Offices.
The indecision occasioned by
reports Of a move for added

Maryland track to run and will
operate in opposition to Charles
Town for its entire 12-day
meeting.
Timonium follows Bel Air.
Meetings also are set for Ha-
gerStown, Cumberland and
Marlboro in that order.
Every meeting held in West
Virginia this year has dropped
below the 1856 betting figures
and some observers believe the
IA per cent take" introduced
in this State last July is CATCH
ing up with the bettors' dollar.
Charles Towns current meet
ing is running 4 per cent behind
last year and figures to sag
even farther with Atlantic City
and Maryland competition.
Atlantic City opens today.
The Wheeling Downs meet
ing, now in progress at the
other end Of the State, is IA per

lied that track, formerly run
