1 1 PIMLIC0 TURF NOTES J $ ■ $ For the convenience of racing fans compelled to leave before the running of the seventh and eighth races at Pimlico, the Maryland Jockey Club has arranged for the advance sale for mutuel wagering. The mu-tuel information window in the grandstand section and a special booth in the clubhouse will accept wagers on these races and triplicate receipts will be issued which will be negotiable the same as "tote" tickets on winning wagers. The new service will be put into effect Saturday for the first time. On Monday night the National Broadcasting Company WEAF New York will present a pre-Preakness dramatization. The show will go on the air for one-half hour at 10:30 p. m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. It will be a red network presentation. Word was received by racing secretary Chas. McLennan that Joe W. Browns Brown King and T. M. Dorsett would be shipped here Sunday. Brown King is a Dixie candidate and T. M. Dorsett is regarded as a likely starter in the Preakness. Both have displayed good form in recent races to warrant their going postward for their stakes engagements. William G. Kelly, an official of the Ontario Jockey Club, is here to interest owners of jumpers in the meeting to be staged at Woodbine Park. Kelly reports that hurdle and jumping races will be staged daily and that the Thorncliffe Breeders Association, which follows the Woodbine meeting, will also provide jumping events over standard brush. W. E. Boeing shipped Galsun to the farm of Alan Clark near Clarkville, Md., to be rested. Owner J. Y. Christmas sent the good handicap performer Rough Time to Timon-ium, a subsidiary of the Maryland Jockey Club, to be given a rest. Another member of the stable, Black Grouse, was sent along for the same treatment. Trainer Jim Ryan shipped the jumper Little Cottage, owned by Mrs. J. C. Clark", to Warrenton, Va., for racing Saturday. President Harry A. Manley, Cal Nelson, W. Russler and Clifton W. White, of the Cumberland Fair Association, arrived from the mountain city to confer with Edward J. Brennan regarding the summer meeting of ten days to be staged August 8 to August 19. It was learned that steeplechase racing will be considered and likely become part of the daily programs. The second and final edition of the condition book for the Maryland Jockey Club, embracing six days, was released to horsemen by racing secretary Charles J. McLennan.
