Rags-tO- Riches Career

Mr.. Herriot's career was in the
best rags-to-richeS American
tradition. He was the son of an
impecunious officer of the con-
stabulary. He had been reared by
an uncle who was a poor parish
priest. and by two aunts-one a
cook, the other a laundress.
Owing to his fathers frequent
transfers, his schooling was ir-
regular. But he was a natural
student, won high school and
university scholarships and ever
tually received Frances highest
literary honor. election to "lAca-
demie Franchise"
This honor came in December
1916. in recognition Of such
writing as a classic biography,
The Life OF Beethoven"

CANVAS born in Troyes, July
5, 1872 He trained as a teacher
and graduated from a teachers
college in Paris in 1894.
Protested to Petain
Mr.. Herriot's election to the
speakership Of the Assembly was
a return to a job to which he
was elected in 1886 and held at
the moment of Frances defeat.
He officially held it until 1912,
presiding over a rump Parlia-
ment.
In April OF 1912 ex-MarShal
Henri-Philippe Petain wiped out
this last remaining vestige of
d ocratic government in
France. Mr.. Herriot sent him

as the horsemen refer to it,
drastic action.
Instead, the HBPA has pur-
sued legal course. relying on
the courts and the West Virginia
Racing Commission in its battle
for increased purses at Charles
Town. The plan was going well
until Roy ". Graham, chairman
of the commission. backed water
on his previous order that
Charles Towns dates (January
26 to February 16) hinged on
the track coming to an agree
ment with the HBPA.
Albert J. Boyle. president of
the track. refused to talk to
iHBPA officials. claiming that
owners and trainers of some 400
horses currently stabbed at his
track are ready to accept the
purses he offers.
The fact that these trainers
have no ready place to ship their
stock or race in this area in the
middle of January and that re-
fuSal to accept the tracks offer
in purses might bring an imme-
idiate order to move of the
grounds, probably had something
to do with their decision to race
for any bone tossed their way.
Boyle. who must be credited
with his business acumen in
making Charles Town a gold
mine, claims that the purses are
in line with the class of horses
competing there. The horsemen
argue that if the horses helped
to produce the betting totals, re-
CARELESS Of their intrinsic value
their purses should rise proper
tionately.
Charles Town also points out
that its. purses are about the
same as paid at the Maryland
minor tracks where the same
horses race. This is partially
true, but the Maryland half-mile
tracks, get only approximately
l712 per cent from the mutuels
and are limited to IL days a year
whereas Charles Town operates
about 100 days and gets more
than 10 per cent.
According to testimony in the
lower court, saliva test proved
negative, but q urinalysis showed
"a drug in the nature OF caf-
feine" to be present.
West Virginia racing has never
done much to advance the sport.
None OF the tracks in the State
Wheeling and Waterford Park in
addition to Charles Town-be-
long to the Thoroughbred Rae
ing Association and Charles
Town has, in the past, refused
to install the Aim patrol despite
an order from the West Virginia
commission to do so.

enforcement Of the 4 per cent
purse rule be waived only upon
an agreement as to purses be-
tween Charles Town Turf Club
and the HBPA."
West Virginia law says purses
must equal 4 per cent Of the
pari-mutuel handle. The HBPA
has charged that Charles Town
purses do not come up to that
level.
The racing commission said
last week it would waive the rule
if Albert J. Boyle, head Of the
track. could reach agreement
with the horsemen.
The HBPA said this meant the
HBPA. Boyle said not. Tuesday
night. Graham sided with Boyle
and said the commission meant
horsemen already stabbed on the
grounds. He also said the race
meeting would be held as sched-
uled since Boyle had reported an
agreement with those horsemen.
Manfuso told Graham yes
Iterday:
1T was clearly understood as
confirmed by your letter to the
HBPA dated January IL that
the purse agreement was to be
with the HBPA and no other
group of horsemen.
ut is obvious that horsemen
who have had the expenses of
keeping their horses at Charles
Town from November to the
present without racing are not
in position to negotiate with the
management :. for reasonable
and equitable purses.
I'VE believe the commission
has but two alternatives-either
to grant a license upon the con-
dition that the 4 per cent rule
be observed or to deny q license
to Charles Town Turf Club"
