I l ; l l r r f PROBABLE FALL DATES FOR KENTUCKY LEXINGTON, Ky., June 14.— If racing dates announced Ly various tracks for the fall season in Kentucky are carried through, there will be a quadruple conflict of the sport. Thus far there is a possibility of the Tri--| State Fair and Racing Association, Wheeling, W. Va., the Blue Grass Fair at Lexington and Latonia all running at the same time The probable conflict is a result of dates announced for the new Kentucky course at R.iceland and the period of racing contemplated by the Huntington, V . Va., track opening the last week in August, and continues to September 6, which time is occupied by the Ohio State Fair and likewise by the Blue Grass Fair at lexington. The Raceland people are making arrangements to hod their fair the second week in September. The La- tonia fall meeting is to open Septem- her 13, according to tentative dates, and close October 18. Churchill Downs is to follow, opening October 122 and closing November 22. Then lexington will open November It and close November 22.
