Richards, Club
Draw Fines in
|BonusCase

NEW YORK. Sept. ~ R.-
baseball Commissioner Ford
Prick. taking his most severe
punitive action since he took
over the Job In 1851. has fined
THE Baltimore Orioles and Gem
|eral Manager Paul Richards q
total Of $500 for violation Of
1.-THE bonus rule.
The infringement, which Prick
called conduct detrimental to
baseball. involved the signing Of
|a collage boy named Thomas
|Borland. Prick yesterday made
the ex-O Oklahoma AIM pitcher
ID free agent.
The Baltimore club was fined
Isl, 900. Richards was fined $2,-
$500 and warned OF q suspension
|.'for one or more years" should
the violation be repeated. Rich
ards refused to comment.
Borland. sought by at least
eight other major league clubs.
was signed by Richards after
the college world series last June
to Q $4,000 contract. Later.
Prick said. tryouts proved Bor-
land would not be a help TO
the Orioles and he was persuaded
to sign q $4,000 contract with
Oakland of the Pacific Coast
League. where he finished out
the season.
Tricks statement said Borland
was assured he would be paid
the full amount Of the original
contract. which never was filled
with the American League presi-
dent for approval under baseball
law.
Baltimore's defense in the
matter was that there was no
wrongful coyer-up since the
club had 40 days In which to
file the contract and Richards
and Borland had rescinded the
contract when Borland agreed
to 60 to Oakland. thus making
him q. free agent.
Prick ruled that q club has a
duty to file any signed contract
and has no right to rescind or
destroy 1t. The only way q
player can be made q free agent
Us to give him his unconditional
release.

finishing 2sth on the national
list.
Kratz is known for riding out
all his mounts, and owners and
bettors appreciate his hustling
tactics. His perseverance oftens
earns a third or fourth, which
might have been missed.
Strangely enough, Freddy
once ran afoul Of the Mary
land Racing Commission through
an unfortunate incident. Back
in 1947. Kratz was accused Of
wagering $40 to show on q
heavy favorite In q race In
which he was riding long
shot which had little chance.
Kratz admitted that he had
bet the $40. explaining that
he needed supper money" The
commission suspended him for
six months.

Freddy took his punishment
and now is regarded as an "un-
touchable" jockey.
Born in Bridgeton, N. j.,
Kratz has come a long way and
is providing for the time when
he will quit the saddle.
During the last summer, he
opened a laundromat near the
Charles Town track. just a few
miles from his recently pur-
chased farm in West Virginia
where his wife and four children
make their home.
II took a lot Of kidding about
the laundry, like about really
cleaning UP and all that"
Freddy explains.
Somewhat Of a dean at the
age of "a on the Maryland West
Virginia. circuit, Freddy Kratz
would be a model for younger
riders at any track.

BEL AIR, Md, Sept. 24.-In
the summer Of 1850, at this Bel
Air track, there was q bone
chilling spill at the clubhouse
turn. When the horses churned

stretched motionless in the dust.
For a few minutes. it appeared
that the rider might never move
again. But there was life In his
slight body and four weeks later
Freddy was out Of the hospital
and walking again on legs that
were moving, although reluct-
antly.
Tedious special exercises re-
built his legs. which must be
like steel for race riding. A few
months later, Kratz was back at
his chosen occupation.
Now, at the age Of "a, Freddy

jockeys term the minor tracks.
His rugged determination has
never waned and he Itilizes it
to overcome his lack Of saddle
finesse to get home first.
Although the Bel Air spill was
his worst experience. falling off
thoroughbreds was nothing new
for Freddy.
He began his riding career
begging trouble. He first sp-
peared on a racing program as
"a steeplechase rider in 1914 at
Pimlico.
The very first horse he
climbed aboard in silks was a
jumper, Golden Flag by name,

but who since has become q

In the post parade, Golden
Flag became fractions and
Freddy fell of before reaching
the post. He remounted, Of

This dismal beginning in

Freddy and the young rider be-
came a fairly successful steeple-
chase jockey, winning two stakes
and a number Of races before

that the country is ready to
turn back to the radicalism Of
the New Deal or Fair Deal. Mr..
Truman hailed Stevenson's
speech Of last Saturday night
as ''the best New Deal speech"
he ever heard the former Illi-
nois Governor make. Yet Har-
riman didn't like it and criti-
cized Steyenson's use Of mod
Grafton. as an Eisenhower
word.
II there's to be a competi-
ton between Hartman and
Stevenson as to who Is the
better exponent Of New Deal
ism. the 1856 campaign can be
forecast even this early. The
country is not in q radical
mood and is. on the whole,
satisfied with the moderate
approach taken by the Eisen-
hover administration.
The best evidence of this is
the way the bipartisan coali-
tion which kept Trumanism
in check is still operating. A
combination Of Democratic
antiradicals and a solid Re-
publican vote brought about
the passage of the Taft Hart
ley Act and also the subversive
control law-both over Tru-
man vetoes.
Ideologically speaking, there
fore, an antiracial coalition
rules today in Congress. and
Trumanisrn can hardly get any
real comfort out of the 1854
tie in the Senate or the small
margin of seats that the DEM
ocrats won in the House.
If economic conditions con-
tinue as they are today, the
Republicans will win both
houses of Congress in 1855
with a mandate against radi-
calism. The arguments which
Messrs. Stevenson, Hartman
and Kefauver are making to
try to prove that the Demo-
Gratis are the party OF the
poor" while the Republicans
are the party of the "rich" viii
not be persuasive. 1t win be
hard. for instance, to convince
the voters that poverty stalks
in the land when even Demo-
Gratis can afford to put up
$l00-a-plate for the privilege
of eating at the party dinners.
