NEW. YORK, Feb. 4 tAP.-
Big Gene Conley, who plays
major league baseball and bas-
ketball, said today he Is sure
the injury to the index finger
on his pitching hand will not
affect his play with the Red

fracture in the index finger Of
his right hand last Wednesday
while playing for New York In
a National Basketball Associa-
ton game.
He scored II points yesterday
for the Knicks as they beat
Los Angeles. l22-95. He played
with his index and middle
fingers taped together and
padded, After the game the
tape and bandage were re-
moved so that the finger would
not Stiffen.

Since then each once-for-
midable barrier has been bro
ken scores of times. And the l6-
foot vault-first accomplished
by German-born United States
Marine John Uelses a year ago
now is becoming almost COM
monplace.
However. the pole vault is
the only one in which equip
ment has played a major fac
tor. Built-up shoes used by q
Russian to better 7 feet In
the high jump were disallowed
by international officials.
In the pole vault the springy
fiberglass pole triggered the
break Of the 16 foot barrier and
the present assault on II feet.
The resilient stick permits the
vaulter to take a higher grip
on the pole without too much
shock and gives the vaulter
much more spring. whipping
him over the bar like the snap
Of a steel coil.
The pole is now in general
use and helped Nikula, Tork,
Cruz, Uelses and others to the
l6-foot height. Others who
have made 1t include C. x.
Yang. a Nationalist Chinese
who attends UCLA: Don Myers
Of Colorado u; John Belitza OF

Jersey Racing Commission as
signed the three State tracks
Monmouth, Atlantic City and
Garden State-their conven-
tional 50-day meetings.
Garden State, the only track
Of the three which splits its SO
days into two meetings, will
close even earlier in the fall
November 8. This means that
Laurel will enjoy no competi-
ton from New Jersey for the
Washington, D. c., Interna-
tional November IL. This could
produce a record crowd and
betting handle for the classic.
Pimlico also will have clear
sailing again for its late fall
meeting, the revenue producing
sessions which offsets the short
spring meeting in May, run In
the face Of rough competition.
Bowie does not directly bene-
lit from the change in the New
Jersey schedule. although 1t
should protect the winter track
from having the late March
dates cut from the meeting.
This year Laurel was assigned
the last week in March. which
ordinarily would have belonged
to Bowie.
As far as the Maryland mile
track dates for next fall are
concerned, they will not be de-
termined until the Maryland
Legislature. now in session, ap-
proves or rejects a bill which
would add SO days to the major
racing schedule.
A few days ago political ex-
perts were predicting the bill
would be given quick approval.
However. after a hearing last
Wednesday, it looks like the
piece of legislation might not
even be approved by the Sem
ate Finance Committee. A sim
liar bill died the same way last
year.
Perhaps it was poor judg-
ment on the part of the brass
at the mile tracks, but included
in the bill, which would elimin-
ate Bel Air and Baltimore Race
way and add those SO days to
the major schedule, is a section
which gives Timonium another
II days by abandoning the
Cumberland track.
1t is this part Of the date
transfer bill which has drawn
heated criticism, particularly
from Marlboro interests, who
claim that Timonium should
not be given "a days while
they continue with IL days a
year.

The main section of the bill,
eliminating two tracks and con-
verting the dates to the mile
tracks, would seem to be a step

16-Foot Club
PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4
(AP). - The 16-foot vaulting
club has another member, Ro-
lando Cruz, a Villanova junior.
Cruz, a 23-year-old market
ing student, pole vaulted 16
feet "a inch Saturday night to
win his speciality in the 10Th
annual Inquirer Games.
The native of Puerto Rico is
only the second collegian to do
it, and the eighth to break the
barrier since John Uelses first
showed it could be done a year
ago. Cruz, like the others, uses
a fiberglass pole.
Previous Best Was 1876
Cruz best vault before the
Inquirer meet was 1876. He did
1t four times-but he thinks
breaking the 16-foot barrier
will give him the confidence to
