Grooms Gain Demands
Won't Strike Again
Without Farley
BY the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.-Grooms
who struck at Santa Anita Park
Thursday have promised not to walk
out again without first presenting
their grievances to the California
Horse Racing Board.
But they won from the board all
of their demands except that each
groom be paid $40 for every winning
horse he handles. The board sug-
gested to track officials that such a
policy be adopted.
1t ordered restoration of licenses
to five suspended grooms; that a
license not be taken from any exer-
else boy or groom without a hearing
and that a licensee deprived of his
track badge by the Santa Anita
stewards have the right to appeal to
the board.
The grooms had returned to work
Friday Their demands were grant,
ed yesterday.

as leading threats were Charles S.

Vanderbilt'S Good Turn, Tony Pei

Buckhorn Creek, Transflgure, Armis-
tics, Appeasement, CuantoS, Cop

were regarded as possibilities, de-
pending upon track conditions.
