Cancelled workout schedules for
most of the stables.
Then, too, Bowie has not
seen fit to build additional
barnes (only $50 horses can be
stabbed on the grounds) and
must depend on Laurel to
handle the overflow. The
neighboring track cares little
about whether its guests from
Bowie have a track available
for workouts.
But the current dearth of
horses easily could become per-
manent when Pennsylvania be-
comes a thoroughbred racing
State. This seems almost GER
tain to happen in four or five
years.
For this reason, it was diff
cult to understand the Mary
land Racing Commissions
fumbling performance before a
legislative committee at An
napolis earlier in the week in
trying to justify a bill which
would strengthen Maryland's
racing position.
Granted the bill giving the
commission wider power than
needed for transferring dates
from the smaller tracks to the
big ones was badly drawn
up, the commission did a poor
job in explaining to lawmakers
why the action was necessary.
Maryland's present skip-and-
jump racing schedule with. split
meetings at some Of the mile
tracks and 12-day stands at the
small tracks is as outmoded as
high-button shoes.
The commission should have
told the lawmakers that Mary
land racing is not seeking
longer race meetings at the
milers, but that the game they
represent is fighting for its very
existence in the face Of the
roughest kind of competition.
When there are mediocre
horses there is mediocre racing.
In order to attract the better
stables, Maryland must offer
long, consecutive meetings with
definite schedule that can be
relied on year after year-not
one that jumps around at the
whims of the various opera
tors looking for a quick ad-
vantage over a neighboring
track.
Ideally, Bowie, Laurel and
Pimlico should offer horsemer
continuous racing with we'll
planned stakes program en-
bracing the three tracks. II
probably would be necessary te
attempt to fit the Maryland
schedule with Delaware Parks
summer dates so that the COM
bined Maryland-Delaware dates
would form q racing Whee
which would turn for a greater
part Of the year.
But with the three mile
tracks b ttling each othel
rather than cooperating, ane

with the situation, Maryland

BY the Associated rress

Before the week end is over.
the Lakers should nail their
first Western Division title in
the National Basketball Asso-
citation since their move to Los
Angeles.
Los Angeles, needing only
one more victory to clinch the
title. meets the hapless Chicago
Packers in Louisville tonight,
and then goes into an after
noon date with Cincinnati to-
morrow.
The Lakers, thanks to a last
period squirt by Frank Selvy,
rallied for a 1916 victory
over New York at Philadelphia
last night, clinching at least a
tie for first place in the West.
Chamberlain Nets 81
With II games left, and a
47-22 record, the Lakers hold
a 1012-game lead over second
place Cincinnati. The Royals,
now 1873, could do no better
than tie for first even if they
should win all their remaining
10 games while the Lakers lost
their last II.
The Lakers' victory came in
one of three games played in
the NBA last night. In the
second game at Philadelphia,
the Warriors whipped st. Louis,
139-121, as Wilt Chamberlain
scored 81 points and kept alive
his chances of finishing the
season with a 50-point average.
At Providence. Bob Cousy scored
80 points to lead Boston's
Eastern Division leaders to a

Needs 456 Points
The Knicks led Los Angeles,

left when Selvy - a former
Knick - scored II straight
points and lifted the Lakers
into a permanent lead. The for
mer Furman ace wound up with
"a points, 13 in the last period.
Jerry West was tops for Los
Angeles with SO points.
Chamberlain was too much
for st. Louis, which will miss
the playoffs entirely this year
after having won the Western
Division title five years in sue
cession. Wilt pushed his scor-
ing total to 3,544 in II games.
He needs 456 points in his nine
remaining games to reach the
1000 mark and a 50-point
average.
Wilt also attempted "a free
