i RE-ELECT WINN PRESIDENT j OF AMERICAN TURF ASSN. j -- Co. Matt J. Winn was re-elected president of the American Turf Association at a meeting of the stockholders held in his apartment at the Congress Hotel Monday. That annual statement has become trite, but just as certain as death and taxes. The genial Kentuckian founded the American Turf Association, watched it grow, decline and die, only to revive it and see it rise again to even greater heights. He is the American Turf Association, if not entirely financially, at least symbolically. The Association owns Churchill Downs, Latonia and Lincoln Fields, and up to a recent period owned Washington Park and had a substantial share of the stock of the Hawthorne and Lexington tracks. In addition to these interests, Colonel Winn is part owner of the Laurel track in Maryland. All of the officers and directors of the Association were re-elected: Winn, as president; Stuyvesant Peabody, vice-president, and Maurice Galvin, secretary-treasurer. The board of directors: Johnson N. Camden, chairman; M. J. Winn, Stuyvesant Peabody, Lawrence Jones, A. B. Hancock, J. T. Con-nery, C. Bruce Head, E. J. Hughes, Sam Stone, Walter H. Girdler, C. W. Bidwlll, Henry O. Gray, Bruce Campbell, C. S. Ellis, Donald McDonald and Lawrence Jones, Jr.
