It is said that reorganization of the racing organiza lions will be a necessary preliminary to the carry Ing out of this program. Ike idea is for the on I siileis who have been prominent in the affairs of the two tracks to retire and allow local people to come to the front. New Orleans has keenly felt the absence of the racing crowds and it is thought that there will be no serious opposition to the restoration of Ihe sport, provided thai certain conccs sions are made !,v those most directly interested.
