I OHIO RACING BEGINS TODAY Beulah Park Stable Capacity Is Taxed on Eve of Start of 19 -Day Meeting. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 18. Ohio racing gets under way at Beulah Park tomorrow with a well filled card of eight races. The meeting will run nineteen days, to May 10. It has been raining for the better part of a week and the track received a good drenching Thursday night, with the result that horses exercised around the "dogs" this morning and the going will be heavy or slow for the opening. . Among the improvements to the plant since last year is a new entrance, with a covered shed for the protection of patrons passing from automobiles to the grandstand. One of the interesting angles of the sport will be the contest for jockey honors, with Bill Cleverley, Stanley Lipiec, Eddie Goodrich and L. Logan figured as keen contenders. Lipiec starred at Havana and Goodrich at St. Johns. The latter is now at Wheeling. Logan is under contract to McKey Scobie and was one of the best of the young riders in this neighborhood last summer. Cleverley starred at Agua Caliente last winter. Eight hundred applications have been made for the G10 stalls on the ground, and 400 of the applicants were on the grounds this morning.
