♦ — • A. B. DADES NAME IS MISSING Not Included Among Officials Appointed for Kentucky Spring Meetings. LEXINGTON. Ky.. Match 12. -No starter was named in the list of officials approved yesterday by the state racing commission for the Kentucky Jockey lub spring meet.ngs. When asked today concerning that fact, vice-chairman J. O. Keetie. who presided at the meeting yesterday, said: "1 was no: aware that the Mailer had not been named. We approved the Kentucky Jockey Clubs iippoiiitmenfs with one exception. James Williams, an eastern Kentucky man. was listed to be tinier. The commission added the name of S. K. Hughes. who for years has been employed in that capacity. Last year there were two timers. S. K. Hughe. and W. V. Walsh, and this year it will be S. K. Hughes and James Williams. It was my impression until this moment that A. B. Dades name was read out as slurter. There was uo comment in the meeting upon the subject. It is the enmniis -ions province without suggestion from the Ken tacky Jockey Club, to name the supervisor of pari-mut.iels and the telegraph censor. This was done by the reappointment of John B. McLaughlin of Ijexington to the former i ost and J. J. Qtaat of Covington, to the censorship. I will ask secre tar* Stoll to wire Col. M. I. Winn at Baltimore and Ban I tela his intentions relative to the starter for the -pring meetings." While here yesterday Colonel Winn remarked thai -tarter A. B. Bade had requested a raise in his com p..sation. hut he made no further •ommenl upon the subject. Dade wa- in the city, hut whether be am!
