; . Painesville Harness Meeting To Get Under Way Tonight PAINESVILLE, Ohio, May 14.— When Painesville Raceway opens its 43-night harness race meeting Friday, May 15, fight fans at the inaugural need have no worries about missing the heavyweight Walcott-Marciano championship fight. President Saul Silberman announced today that he will install three television receiving sets, one in the clubhouse and two in the grandstand to enable Painesville patrons to view the Chicago battle. The sets will remain at Painesville throughout the meeting for the benefit of baseball and fight fans. Feature event of the opening program at Painesville will be a 19-class trot for a purse of ,000. This is the first of the early closing events to be contested at the meeting. Heading the list of 20 nominees for the inaugural feature will be the entry of Lyra Song and Marlboro, representing the interests of 80-year-old Ben White of Orlando. Fla. Bens son Gibson, now an established reinsman in his own right, will train and drive his fathers stable of eight.
