October 1 is the closing date.

Eight Days Earlier Also, for the first time in league history, the openings will feature eastern teams against western New York. July 13 WV-The American Baseball League, openly in favor of expansion, admitted today it cannot do anything about increasing its eight-team set-up without the full cooperation of the National League. A spokesman for the junior circuit, in explaining why his league did not "officially" discuss expansion at yesterday's four-hour meeting here, said: "What's the use? It would be foolish to come to a decision to expand and then find out the National League once again is against it. Can't Go It Alone "At one time we thought we could go it alone. But after giving it a great deal of thought, and exploring all kinds of possibilities, we realized it would be unwieldy, unfeasible and unwise to do it.

"One league simply cannot expand without the other." He added: "We in our league are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the National League meeting in Chicago next Monday. I personally have reason to believe they (the National League) are less opposed to it than they were a year ago. New Views Possible "As a matter of fact, I have reason to believe that Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and San Francisco, the three clubs strongly opposed to teams. No pairings have been de cided upon.

That's the reorganization of Maryland racing, which the Rasin Legislative Council Committee has now been set up to study. It has a wonderful opportunity to greatly benefit both the State and thoroughbred racing in Maryland if it tackles the problem with sincerity, thoroughness and boldness, makes firm recommendations without bias, fear of political pressure, and clearly establishes policy and authority. Neither the problem nor the solution is too difficult. The problems of breaking with the past and resisting small but powerfully vocal groups have defeated here what has been accomplished in Canada, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Florida. That's fewer, but better tracks, with a continuity of dates to attract and house better horses, along with substantial daily purses.

They form the foundation of racing everywhere and are linked together. Suggest 150DaysForMile Tracks New York now offers 219 days of consecutive thoroughbred racing concentrated at three tracks, but mainly at Aqueduct and Belmont Park. New Jersey has 150 days at three tracks with two breaks of about a week each between four meetings. They are to take full advantage of the resort business dates at Monmouth Park and Atlantic City. Illinois offers 181 days from April 16 through November 12 with its small tracks at the beginning and end of the schedule so that Balmoral, Washington and Arlington parks form a solid summer program of 97 days.

Maryland cannot hope to compete on even terms with these three densely populated areas. Racing here must work with a metropolitan attendance potential of 1,706,961, plus Washington, against Philadelphia's 4,279,961 and New York's 14,586,519. Chicago's figures are between New- York's and Philadelphia's. It is vital that Maryland take reasonable advantage of noncompetitive days because they represent a difference of in the betting. Therefore, I think two meetings totaling 150 days on the three mile tracks (I prefer two) is the solution.

Tivo Hollers Could Fit In I suggest a late winter-spring meeting of 60 days running through Memorial Day and a fall-early winter meeting of 90 days opening the Saturday before Labor Day. These would provide -continuous racing of sufficient length to attract the horsemen, two of the year's best holiday racing dates, a fair share of the non-competitive ones and elimination of extreme winter racing. If all the half-mile tracks are not to be abandoned, then Marlboro and Timonium can be fitted into the schedule to provide additional There are two solutions. They can lengthen the first meeting to 72 days by one running in June and the other the last two weeks in August to bring the second meeting to 102 days. Or Marlboro and Timonium can both run the last four weeks In August.

Their attendance and their betling will be lower, particularly Timonium, because of the loss of Labor Day. There will be howls, loud ones and legitimate ones, but that is unimportant in the over-all problem. Taxes from the entire half-mile racing program yield less than ne-seventh of that coming from the mile tracks for the same number of Garden State Really Hurts Continuing the spring meetings through Memorial Day will mean competition, and howls, from Delaware Park. Normally that would hurt both states but not much on a Saturday or holiday. You must go back to 1956 for the figures.

That year not only did Pimlico run against Delaware Park but both against Garden State. All three did well on Memorial Day but two days preceding it show the telling effect of competition with Garden State and the loss of the big. important metropolitan betting area of Philadelphia. With Garden State closed "on a Monday that weok, Delaware Park drew 12,148 persons who bet $793,459 and Pimlico had 8,649 and $626,040. Now look at Tuesday.

Delaware Park's attendance and betting dropped 50 per cent to 6,586 and $371,095, Pimlico's to 6,853 and $565,159. Garden State had 19,741 and $1,990,137. Maryland can't afford to neglect the Pennsylvania racing market, if possible to set its schedules to take advantage of a reasonable number of noncompetitive dates. We need these people, as well as more of our own, if Maryland's race plants are to be enlarged, improved, purses increased and an extended, cohesive schedule of dates on the mile tracks offered to Interest horsemen and the public.

Brash Bert Rechichar, who gave Colt fans many a thrill with his hardnosed play and set a National Football League field goal record of 56 yards in his first professional three-point attempt, was traded today to Pittsburgh for an undisclosed future draft choice. General Manager Don Kellett said the Steelers' payment will not be made at the upcoming draft in November but a subsequent one, presumably in 1961.
