Racing Body
To Consider
Uniformity
Itfverly Hills, Calif. -IB The
National Association of State
Racing Commissioners today
considered a plea for more uni
formity in thoroughbred racing
rules.
The f)lca was made yesterday
at the opening of the group's
23rd annual convention by Lovd
Wright, former chairman of the
California Horse Racing Board.
" When a horse can run in
ONew York on Tuesday and fly
to California to race on Satur
day, it is co longer a local pro
position." Wright said.
Wright, a Los Angeles attor
ney and a past president of the
NASRC, in asking for uniform
rules said, "at the Kentucky
Derby, Bill Shoemaker paid the
penalty for the irresponsibility
of the track."
Shoemaker was suspended 15
days by the stewards at Church
ill Downs for misjudging the
finish of the Kentucky Derby.
Wright pointed out that last
year in a somewhat similar mis
hap, stewards at Hollywood
Park did not suspend the vet
eran jockey. The attorney said
an effort should be made to have
those connected with racing
"pull together under sensible
uniform rules."
Demaret also is familiar with
the Inverness layout. He ap
peared in eight four-ball tourna
ments here and won four of
them, three of them as Hogan's
partner. Dapper Jimmy knows
you can always expect strong
winds at Inverness, and he's
probably the best windy-day
player on the pro circuit.
Thomson Has Aim
Thomson, the steady Austral
ian who has won the British
Open the last three years, would
like to be the fourth foreign
player to walk off with this
championship. The last overseas
winner was Ted Ray who won
the 1920 crown on this same In
verness layout in 1920.

By MRS. THOMASINE SMITH
Eagle Point Graduation at
the Eagle Point High school re
cently climaxed a year of ath

enjoyed one of its finest years
in sports history. The football
team compiled a season record
ol 10 wins and two losses in
winning the Rogue league dis

The Eagles, coached by Stan

versity announced today it will
send three runners, half-miler
Lionel Stevfns and quarter
milers Stephen Bartold and
Lloyd Henry, to the NCAA track
and field championships Friday
and Saturday at Austin, Tex.
Probably some of the cause i
tor the apparent lack of enthus
iasm over the iron man feat was
the fact that Stan has been look
ing forward to erasing marks
from the record book for a long
time. He has been overlooking
no chances since he first hit the
big leagues.
"After a certain number of
years, a player gets to the point
where he has a chance at these
figures." Musial explained. "One
thing is you've got to do what
you can while you're young.
That's why I think I am reach
ing these figures in about 15
years that many players didn't
reach until 20."
Cinch for Hall of Fama
The new consecutive games
mark he'll put in the National
league handbooks Wednesday
night is the only one of the feats
he has accomplished already or
is nearing which makes him a
cinch for a top Hall of Fame
berth at some future date.
The mark he's now looking
forward to the 3.000th hit
could come by next May. He
now has 2.850 17th on tlie all
