Meet Conflict and Rain Hit Hagerstown Opening By JOSEPH B. KELLY •tor lUetnt Ml tor HAGERSTOWN, Md., Aug. 18. —The War Between the States was revived here yesterday, but this time it was fought with dol lars and totalisators as the Hagerstown -and Charles Town race tracks butted heads for the first time in 17 years. The first skirmish went to Hagerstown as the half-mile track opened its annual 10-day meeting with a surprisingly good turnout of 4,877 fans, who wag ered 8331,294 on eight races despite the weather. Rain fell from the fourth race on. Charles Town, nearing com pletion of its 44-day summer meet, which ends Saturday, re ported an official attendance of 3,887 and total betting of $192.- 078 on nine races as heavy rain marred the program. Wont Day of Meeting It was the lowest one-day at tendance and betting of the West Virginia track’s meeting. The Hagerstown meet con cludes Saturday, August 27. Although Hagerstown drew a larger crowd and heavier wager ing the results were far from satisfactory as yesterday’s bet ting represented a 36 per cent decrease from last year’s total of $353,307. wagered by 7,631 fans on opening day. Since Hagerstown races only 10 days a year, there cannot be any prolonged conflict be tween the two racing associa tions. But yesterday proved that Little Leaguers In South Propose Own Association BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 18 (JP).— little Leagues of Jefferson County, Ala (Birmingham), last night adopted a resolution criti cizing Little League Baseball. Inc.—the National Little League governing body—and calling for leagues In other Southern States to Join In studying the possibil ity of forming a "Southern As sociation of Little Leagues.” Thus the city which won the Little League world champion ship In 1953 Is evidently splitting wit hthe national organization. "Continuation of the estab lished customs and traditions of the locality” was the purpose outlined in the resolution. The custom or tradition in Question is the racial problem which has not yet been faced in Alabama, but which was en countered a few weeks ago in South Carolina and Florida. "Our purpose is to see that these kids are able to continue to play baseball in the summer months,” Ernest V. Weir, Birm ingham attorrney serving in a volunteer capacity, said last night. "Regardless of how you and I feel about it, we are not going to allow our Little Leagues to be made a political football.” Three D. C. Players Advance in Tennis XENIA, Ohio, Aug. 18 (IP).— Three Washington, D. C., en trants in the American Tennis Association national champion ships were to play today in the Quarter-finals. Doris Harrison, seeded third, defeated Esther Myers, 6—l, 6—3, yesterday. In men’s singles, Clyde Free man, seeded third, won over John Lockett, 6—2, 6—4, and Free man's brother, Hal, seeded fourth, defeated Francis Powell, 6—4, 6—4. Elton King, also of Washing ton, was eliminated by Ronald Charity, 6—3, 6—l. competition is nearly disastrous for the two tracks, located Just 27 miles apart. With both tracks depending heavily for patronage from Washington and Baltimore, it appeared from yesterday’s figures that Hagerstown and Charles Town would split the potential attendance and betting in the area. Charles Town, with a 9 per cent take from the betting dollar and with 100 racing days, is in a far better position to absorb competition than Hagerstown, with 10 days and an approximate 7.8 per cent take. The Hagerstown meeting con tinues this afternoon with today being officially tabbed Governor’s Day. Gov. McKeldln will be on hand to officiate and Nancy Marstellar, national peach queen, also will be present to assist in ceremonies celebrating National Peach Week.
