 Under an agreement reached late yesterday, members of the Horse mems Benevolent & Protective As sociation and the United Trainers Association were granted the right to have one of their members as an observer with the three stewards who supervise racing.
 Their choice was Leo O'DonneH, veteran trainer who has a l4-horse stable of his own. He vii not be permitted to pass Judgment on any race in which his own horses are entered and in no other race VIII he be permitted to vote on deci- sions or pass final judgment. It was said he simply would act a "go between" for the horsemen.
 Tn addition, the track agreed to raise the minimum purses from $1 800 to $2,O00 and give horsemen certain special seats and private parking spaces.
 All Set
 After @ conference of the horse men, track officials and the state racing commission, entries for to- days racing that had been with held were flled-assuring continual ton of the 30-day meeting.
 The matter of representative has been under discussion since the summer meeting at Suffolk Downs. It continued during the Rocking ham N. H. Park meeting but came to a head here yesterday.

Holmes Crowds Plate In Race For Bottin g Title
Having Learned to Pull Bell, Broves'
 Betting outfieIder Promises to Lead in Home Runs and Other Departments
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York, Sept. 14.-Wielding one of Del Bissonettes old war clubs, Thomas Francis Holmes is racing Phil Cavarretta of the Cubs for the batting championship of both major leagues.
 As a matter of fact, Tommy Holmes promises to be the sixth National Leaguer to show the way both in batting and home runs, He is virtually a cinch to lead ir total hits and runs scored, and has 8 fine chance of beating out Dixie Walker of the Dodgers in the irn- portant runs-batted-in depart men.t
 Yes, this is the same Holmes on whom the Yankees gave up after he had spent five years on their farm clubs.
 With Newark for three years Holmes was a good enough hy- chaser, but he was on the weak side on ground balls and had only a fair arm. Yet that wasn't why Ed Barrow and his advisors decided to sell the youngster to the Braves.
 While Holmes batting average was high enough, he hit too straight away to suit the New York master minds. Obviously powerful, he stood at the plate like A. G. Saplding. There was only one thing for pitch CTS to do. It was not to let this left-hand hitter pull the ball.
 So Holmes saw nothing but out- side pitches. Because his stance prohibited his doing anything else, about all the Brooklyn product did was poke these pitches into left and left-center. His hits rarely headed for the farthest points of the parks. And that was the story throughout his first two summers with the Bostons.
 It was not until the summer ot 1914 that Holmes mastered the art of pulling the ball to right field. That is what transformed him first from .270 hitter who drove in Al runs into a .309 hitter who smacked in 73, and now into a con- secutive-ga game record-breaking 1852 hitter who has already mar1u- factured 28 home runs and batted in 108 runs. ,.
 A corking pull hitter himself Bissonette, who assumed the man. agement of the Beantowners in mid-season, strengthened Holmes out. Tommy could not have had a superior teacher.
 Holmes is no longer stationary hitter. He crowds the plate more than he did. He crouches a bit against certain pitchers, leans over and gets around outside pitches to club the ball into right field.
 Professor Bissonette was foxy hitter. Crouching low, he waved his bat around his knees menac- inely. He looked like a hitter dying for low ball, yet that was pre- cisely what he disliked. He straigh- tened up with pitches, socked higt balls for a lot of home runs.
 The pitchers never did get her to Bissonette, although four or nv years elapsed before injuries droVt this consistent .320 clubber out oi the big show. -
 Phil Cavarretta or Tommy Holmes, Dixie Walker need not fec bad about relinquishing the bat ting leadership.
 This is the 20th consecutive wear that the National League batting champion has failed to repeat.
 one hasn't performed that feat since 1925, when the incomparablt Rogers Hornsby finished weaving a skein of six.

 Beehee scored Q 77 yesterday tc Smiths 79: Farley going out in 37 to 90 five Up toward an eventual and 5 win over former club cham pion, w. M. (Bill) Goss.
