Beulah Officials Checking In Early for Coming Meet GROVE CITY, Ohio, May 2.— Officials for the 19-day meeting of running races opening at Beulah Park May 9 are begin-ing to converge on the Central Ohio track. Early birds among the officials include C. K. Keller, B. H. "Brownie" Held and Raymond Wymer. Keller doubles as track superintendent and paddock judge. In fact, he maintains a year-round residence on the Beulah Park property. Held and Wymer already have opened the racing secretarys office and begun the registration of stables that will be campaigned during the spring season. Held will serve as assistant to racing secretary E. W. Bury, who is due here on Sunday, while Wymer, a Grove City resident, again will perform the duties of clerk of scales. A recent visitor to Beulah was starter Tom Brown but he has returned to his home in Cincinnati and is due to check in here again early next week. During Browns absence, one of his assistants, Chico Torriente, is in charge of the early morning schooling sessions. Expected here Monday from Ascot Park is George H. Reverman, chief of the pari-mutuel department. Stewards for the meeting will be R. Norman Charlton, Keene Daingerfield and E. W. "Ted" Stribling, all three of whom will act on owner, trainer and jockey applications next week. One familiar figure who will be missing from the official family is Ralph "Peewee" Oberleitner. A veteran patrol pudge, Ober-leitner was forced to surrender his duties for the spring meeting because of the conflict with the Ascot Park session, where I Oberleitner also is a patrol judge.
