Top Jockeys Refuse to Ride
Coast Track Opening Today
Despite Boycott by Horsemen

Mort yesterday offered the
horsemen a guaranteed ST.
080, 900 in purses for the meet
ing-about 100000 more than
last year. He said that offer
was based on an anticipated
season handle of $32 million. He
also guarantees larger purses if
wagering exceeds expectations.
Horsemen rejected that offer,
1914.
Mort said his offer was just
what the horsemen asked except
that it wasn't in percentage fig
ures. Under no circumstances.
he said. will we agree to a fiat
percentage deal.
IF we did. it would amount to
surrendering a 40 per cent part
nership to the horsemen at no
risk to them and without any in
veStment on their part in the
track
The horsemen are backed by
the Jockeys Guild. That means
such riders as Johnny Longden,
Willie Shoemaker and Jack
WeStrope, who seldom leave Cali
fornia tracks, will not ride here
until the fuss is settled. Eddie
Arcaro already has left Santa
Anita for the East.
General Manager Fred Ryan
said Tanforan has 20 jockeys
lined up, but riders weren't an
nounced for today's entries.

Judgment on him"
Dietzel was hitless in the Mats
two weekend games with the
Athletics. He bobbled a slow
hit grounder also, creating some
speculation that his two broken
legs in the past two seasons
might have slowed him up
enough to make him a poor risk

Dietzel is wearing an alumni

Mats Try Freshman,
Pearce and SIeater
Against Cincinnati
By Burton Hawkins
Stor SioH CORRESPONDENT


TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 10.-Three
pitchers who had previous trials
with the Mats get new oppor-
tunities today as the Washing
ton club plays the Cincinnati
Reds in an exhibition game here.
Manager Bucky Harris picked
Buck Freshman, former Hyatts-
vile Md High School right
handler; Lou Sleater. left-hander
who was with the Browns and
Washington for part of last sea-
son, and Jim Pearce, 6-foot-6
ight-hander, to oppose Man
ager Rogers Hornsby's Redlegs.
There was some doubt that
Outfielder Jackie Jensen would
be able to play today. The right
fielder pulled a muscle, in his
right leg Sunday, when he
banged a homer and double
against the Athletics. He worked
out yesterday, but won't take
any chances if the soreness per-
sists today.
The Mats, who have II games
scheduled in the next 18 days,
return to Orlando tomorrow to
meet the Yankees.
Judgment Delayed on DietzeI.
Harris is watching closely his
'key man." Second Baseman Roy

the early performances Of the
rookie.

NEW YORK, Mar. 10.-The

first and third, make their first
appearances in the National In

LaSalle. handicapped by in

Louisville took the court.
THAT was our best team game
of the year." DeStefano said.

just the way they should, keep

st. Johns jumped off ahead
and led by 10 points at the half
and eight points after three
quarters. Then. in the frenzied
final period, LaSalle tied the
score with a minute to play.
Dick Duckett sank one of two
free throws for st. Johns. Fred
Iehle missed a pair for LaSalle

game ended before another shot

It was bruising scramble that

McKeldin told the 500 guests at

conducted in the USSR and in

KRILIUNd, AEROTIL, FLUFFIUM,
ACRYLON, and other new soil
conditioners may eventually be the
answer to the irrigation farmers
prayer for weapon against his old
enemy-gumbo.
Experiments up to the present
time have indicated that these syn
thetic resins, which can be dissolved
in water, help to terminate seeds,
enable farmer to pillow earlier in
spring, keep soil from clodding, con-
troll erosion, save water by holding
more of it in the soil for longer
time, increase crop yields, help solve
the drainage problem and can even
be used to condition footpaths, play
grounds, tennis courts, baseball dia-
monds and the like to give quick
drying surface and cut down on
dust and mud.
Another possible use of great inn
portance to irrigators is in the re-
clamation of alkali lands. At pres
ent, the Bureau of Reclamation is
cooperating with the Colorado
Agricultural Experiment station in
making studies with synthetic soil
conditioners on alkali soils of the
San Luis Valley project, and plans
additional work elsewhere. Much
experimentation is being conducted
by the state agricultural experiment
stations in order to determine how
to apply these materials for best
results and what effects can be ex-
pected on all types of soils and
crops.
First, we must caution that the

might explode.
Krilium, Aerotil, Fluffium, and
other similar products are already
on the market primarily for teme
garden use, but by next year, one
company may have enough raw
material available to make tens of
millions of pounds if the market
justifies this output. The CONNER
cial products consist of one to two
parts of the chemical to three or
four parts of carrier, and cost sew
eral dollars per pound Although
the present cost sounds high,
pound does as much as 200 pounds
of peat moss at 0.04 a pound, or
500 pounds of commercial compost
at 0.025 per pound.
Lower costs for the synthetic soil
conditioners may become possible
with more efficient production
methods, development of competing
materials and volume sales.
This is only beginning, and re-
search and practical experience in
the development and use of these
soil conditioners may disclose many
new and wonderful ways to bring
new life to both good and poor soils.
