seconds. It was blazing speed for 2.18 pacers as the Henley mare won with plenty to spare over Billy McVey, Eleanor G. and Prince Budiong who finished in a bunch a length behind the fast Pacing leader.

But then the picture started to change. Iola looked to be after a repeat performance as she again took the field away but she jump- ed it off on the backstretch to drop far back and Junior Hal took over. Strung out in n line at the half Billy McVey, Prince Budlong and Eleanor G, all went to simultaneous drives and were packed closely in the lead t the top of the stretch, and w at a picture they presented as they hit the wire. But it was Prince Bud- long, coming like lightning on the rail that hadhis nose to the front of Eleanor with Billy McVey third.

One could feel ‘the ‘tenseness among the crowd as they came out for the third mile. This time Eleanor G. was the entire show. Driver Joe l-lennessey took her away fast to win the battle for the rail; he kept her there for the rest of the mile winning an- other gruelling stretch battle with the mile being in 2.10 4-5, a wonderful performance for the veteran campaigner.

Great Performance

But it wasn't her best by any means. Iola Henley was forced out of the fourth mile after tak- ing sick and it was a battle be- tween Eleanor ond Prince. Once again driver l-iennessey took her away at top speed. As they hit the quarter pole she had a com- fortable lead over the Budloni! horse: there was no letup in the second part of the mile as Elean- or increased her lead and came under the wire three lengths to the good with the mile being in 2.10 2-5, the fastest heat 0f the day, and a mile that equalled the winner's win race mark of 210 2-5.

Dudy ‘Budlong, the acme of pac- ing perfection, had an edge on the field entered in the 2.22 Dace but that didn't detract from the brand of racing one iota as Ola Budiong. going one of the best races of her career, forced the winner to all out efforts in every belt. m5 Dudy had to lower his marl! t0 2.11 in the second mile helm‘! flashing in ahead of the Mon- tague-owned mare.

Stats Treasuries Find U. S. Racing is Big Business

(By John Chandler)

NEW YORK. Aug. l’l — (AP) - Organized horse racing in the Un- ited States dates back almost 300 years, but the aristocratic English colonial squires who started it would hardly recognize the "sport of kings" today.

From what was usually s sport-

The first established United set up in 16$ by Governor Nicolls. first English royal "head-man" of New York. Nlcolis would have bet his powdered wig the New York state treasury wouldn't realize $3.000.- 000 in taxes from the ponies in one year. But that's what five ma- jor New York tracks turned over to the state in the form of rev- enue for 1948.

Last year 23 states had mcins with purl-mutual wagering and received more than $96,000,000 from licences and percentage taxes. Ten years ago. in 1900. rac- ing revenue to the states totalled only $10,000,000. Twenty states hsd legalized part-mutual racing then.

No wonder the lawmakers who frowned cn racing years ego have suddenly decided the sport isn't so bad after all. Racetrack attend- ance last year totalled more than Wars. reformers. politicians, and thoughtless or unscrupulous race track owners themselves all but eliminated horse racing in this country at one time or another. 'I‘he Revolutionary -War brought racing to a quick slop. It never has returned to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. The Civil War wrecked racing and breeding in the South. . After the Civil War. the centre of racing moved to New York, where 1i: has remained. In the 1880s racing spread with pest strides. not only in New York and the east, but in the mid-west and in California.

U-_S- Takes Honors At Dinghy Regatta Opening

POLNTE CLAIRE. Que, Aug. 11 -(OP)--'I‘wo internationally fam- ous American dinghy stars chime through with top honors today in opening races of two major com- petitions in the week-long regatta which got underway today in Lelke St. Louis.

Defending champion Bill Lep- worth of the Balboa Oidb, Cali- fornia. led the field in the inter- national 14-foot. one design event for the American title while G Colin Raisey of the Essex Club in Connecticut took first place in the Canadian open event.

The races formed the first leg of a. three-day series for the champ- ionships of both events.

Lapworthk crew man is Craig Doyle who was with him last year when he won the North American title at Rochester. N.Y.

finishing second in the Ameri- can title series was e member of the California entry from the Ail-mentos Bay Club. The boat was skippered by Charles Kober.

Third was W.V. Castle, Jr., handling Stork Too of the Rochest- er, N.Y., Yacht Club.

In the open event, which at- tracted boats from Canada. the United States, Britain and Ber- muda, Ratsey had things pretty much in hand most of the way. with his nephew Colin for crew he beet out R.D. Grant of the Royal Yacht Club of Toronto.

Paul Moh-iughlln who carried Canada's colors in the Olympic Games last year. pieced fourth l the first test. He had Blake Sted- man as crew. In fifth place was 11.;

Cuban Begins Channel Swim

CAP GRIZ NEZ, France, Afi. 11 —(Thursday)—(AP) —- Jose % tinas, 32-year-old Cuban, started swimming across the English Channel this morning at 12:45 a. m, (8:45 p.m. ADT Wednesday).

and the Jockey Club confirmed, that Hornet III had hit the line first. But, as there ls no rule deal- ing with such a situation. the de- clslon remained unchanged.

High Stakes with champion joc- key Gorden Richards started at 11-8 favorite. Hornet III with Rae (Snapper) Johnstcne up started at 9-2.

But bookmakers were so con- fident Hornet III had won that. while the photograph was being developed, they laid 6-1 agahist High Stakes.

Another subject of debate: how short can a "short head" -what's called on Canadian tracks "a nose" in official verdicts — be?

Before the introduction of the camera to British race traoiu, a short head was figured as about six inches. Any margin closer than thatwas nearly always called a dead heat by the judge.

Since Goodwood. several spots writers are on record as saying that no race should be decided by so narrow a. slice of nostril.

Consensus: "A dead heat would have satisfied everyone and would have been the fairest decision; neither horse deserved to lose."
