No Hazel Park Extension * DETROIT, Mich., June 15— A request by William Dee, chairman of the Harness Horsemens Committee at the current , Hazel Park trot meeting, that the meeting * be extended three days through June 22 has been turned down by racing commissioner James H. Inglis. The three days were lost at the start of the season when * horsemen and management were unable to agree on a purse distribution. Stating that .« the desire of the horsemen for additional days was understandable, Inglis laid that/ "collective bargaining for purses has be-come a regular feature of the sport and any loss of racing days as a result thereof is just as much of a normal risk as cancellation of racing due to a rain-out."
