State Racing Consolidation
Gets Another Airinq TODAY

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 80 (AP) -
Another warm up will be held

1t will listen to arguments
why Maryland racing would be
improved by giving Bowie. Pim-
lico, Laurel and Timonium each
IL additional days from the
closed tracks.
The principal appeal to the
legislators will be increased
State revenue. They are being
given an estimate that the
State take will go up SIS mil
lion alone by increasing the
number Of days at Bowie, Pim-
lico and Laurel from 40 to So
each.
A smaller corresponding in
crease would result by doubling

also owns a half-mile track at
Charles Town, w. Va. With the
decline in available minor
league racing in Maryland,
Charles Town would reap the
business.

operate race tracks outside the

I'VE believe this practice to
be detrimental TO Maryland"
He referred specifically to
racing at Charles Town the

Bowie in 1859.
Charles Town, because of
the fact that they also were
the owners of Pimlico, we're able
to take an unfair advantage
of Timonium and Bowie" in
obtaining horses. Brewster
stated.

LONDON, Jan. 80 (AP). -
Britain's Brian London today
sought permission from the
British Boxing Board of Con-

a proposed fight against Cas-
sius Clay.
The 28-year-old former Brit
ish heavyweight champion,
known in the past for his BASH
nd-brawl behavior in the ring,
suddenly turned boxer last
night and scored an over
whelming decision over Tom
McNeeley of Boston at Olympia
Stadium. McNeeley was down
for a count of six in the fourth
round.
"I didn't show very good, ="
McNeeley said. "He won the
fight all right, but the referee
did bother me an awful lot.
London hit me low a num-
ber of times, but he boxed a
lot better than / expected"
Repeatedly Warned
McNeeley, 25, was frequently
warned by the referee for inn
proper use of his head and for
shouldering the Briton in a
manner reminiscent of Nc
Neeley's days as a football
player.
The referee was a Britisher,
Harry Gibbs.

match London against Clay.
