RACING FORBTTHTAUTHORITY Records of Publication to Govern Beulah Park Sport. Eligibility to Bo Determined and Horses Winnings Based on the Archives of This Paper. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 27. Records of thoroughbred racing as published in Daily Racing Form and the Monthly Form Book will be the authority for determining eligibility and applying penalties and allowances for the sport at Beulah Park thi3 year as in the past. The Grove City course will open the Ohio turf season with a twenty-five day spring meeting that begins on Saturday, May 15. Both the stewards and the racing secretarys office will adhere to the Daily Racing form statistics in their government of racing. It is expected that the Ohio racing commission will affirm this decision in formal fashion at an early meeting and thus align themselves with numerous other state commissions as well as the National Association. There will be no deviation from this rule at Beulah Park in any particular. Only races won on major tracks, as published in the Daily Racing Form, and earnings taken therefrom will count against any horse in determining eligibility. Stewards for the meeting will be William Dangman and H. D. Shepard. They have further decided that all horses, must carry such equipment as is designated in the Daily Racing Form. Omission of any item of equipment will be permitted only upon the agreement of the stewards. A new twelve-stall Waite starting gate has arrived at the course and is being readied for schooling horses. It supplants the old ten-stall gate used last season. Larger fields will be permitted to start over the new mile track this year. Work on the 00,000 improvement program is being brought to completion rapidly. The enlarged grandstand and the new clubhouse are being painted white with green trim as are the paddock and secretarys office. The finish camera to be used at Beulah Park is the latest development of the Electronic Control Corp., which supplied the installations at Detroit, Thistle Down and River Downs last year. Racing secretary Emmett A. Hileman, who is serving in an official capacity at Arlington Downs, reports that ten carloads of horses will leave that course for Beulah Park at the close of the Texas meeting. A number of stables now racing at Keeneland will move to Grove City this week.
