For several months there have been reports that new interests con- templated an additional racing track in Maryland. The fact leaked out yesterday that application was madé to the state tax commiss| on December 12 last for approval of an amendment to an ol driving association charter, which would enable the backers of the new track to issue capital stock of $350,000. This application has not yet been considered by the com- mission and to-day a letter was re- ceived from a local attorney asking for the right to appear and protest EDDY'S MATCHES Although somewhat increased in price, owing to the con- tinued high cost of potash, glue, and other raw material, are of the usual high standard of quality, which has made them famous for two-thirds of a century. ALWAYS ASK FOR EDDY'S MATCHES the granting of such an amendment, should an application be filed. The application last week for an amendment was made in the name of the East Baltimore Driving Associa- tion of Baltimore County, in which several local men are interested. This association has been virtually de- funct for some years, but its charter was never relinquished. Under the Baltimore County rac- ing, new charters cannot be granted to any persons desiring to establish new racing plans in the county and hence it became necessary for the track backers to obtain an old char- {ter. The East Baltimore Association charter was secured, but was inade- quate, as it failed to provide for the issuance of any capital stock. | Hence the application for the amend- | ment to issue $350,000 of stock. Pending action by the commission, |g» they refuse to divulge the name of | the attorney, who it is believed is acting for other established racing interest in this state and who are bitterly opposing the operating of a new racing plant here, TO RACE TWO-YEAR-OLDS Previous to Dates Set by New York Jockey Club.

SMITH OUTFOUGHT MORAN." Heavyweights Give Rather Poor Ex- hibition at Brooklyn. "Gunboat" Smith, of New York, outfought Frank Moran, of Pitts- burg, in six rounds of a ten-round { bout in Brooklyn this week. Moran made the better showing in three of the rounds and in another, the first round, the exchariges were even. Of the two heavyweights, Smith was active and aggressive, but wild, while Moran was slow and missed several opportunities. Smith forced the -fighiting until the #Afth round, when Moran cornered him and al most ended the contest with a short right-arm blow - on the jaw t made Smith groggy. « Smith rallied, however, and punished 'Moran in the next three rounds. ¢ In the last round Moran was ag- gressive.
