KANSAS CRY, July 90
The Senators pitchers are
trudging with trepidation to-

they're being punched out of
games early. although some
times not leaving the premises.
Washington's last seven start
ers have yielded at least three
runs by the third inning.

quently has stemmed from
poor defense rather than in
adequate hurting, but it all
adds up to a l0-game losing
streak and the Senators now
are wondering if it will end
shy of the l8-game monu-
ment to Illustration they Gre
ated in 1919.

Lemon Hits 23d
The Senator's hitters doubt
less are pressing to slug their
way back into contests, fielderS
are jittery for fear they'll
make the boot that blows an
other game and pitchers are
feeling as though they're car
rying freight cars when they
stroll toward the mound.
Manager Cookie Lavagetto
has worked them over verbally,
he has patted them on the
back, pleaded, needed, joked
and instructed. 1t all comes
out the same. Cookie isn't

aren't pitching. fielding and

futile instances.

The White Sox, still cutting

the American League lead all
to themselves again-with the
help of the last-place Red Sox.
The Red Sox, warned by
Owner Tom Yawkey to get a

Cleveland, ga, in the second
game of a twi-night double
header last night after losing
the opener, So. The loss
dropped the Indians to second,

1t was the White Sox' oath

and their seventh while WIN

Charles Town
Averts Boycott
Over Purses
Horsemen Given
Slight Boost in
MutueIs Share
BY JOHN SEGRAVES
Star Staf Writer

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
July 29.-Charles Town Race
Track and the Maryland-Dela-
ware Charles Town division of
the HorSemen's Benevolent and
Protective Association reached
agreement today over the dis
tribution of purse money to
horsemen.
Lou Pondfield, vice president
of Charles Town, said in a pre-
pared statement this morning
that the track had agreed to a
continuing purse distribution of
40 per cent of the tracks share
of the mutuel handle. The
statement was issued following
a meeting of Pondfield, George
RoSenberger, president of the
HBPA division, and three of its
members. Jack Boniface, James
P. Simpson III, and Glenn e.
Smith.
Threatened Boycott
The dispute reached a head
last night at Shenandoah
Downs when horsemen turned
down an offer of Al per cent
and asked for A. A boycott
of the track was threatened if
demands of the horsemen were
not met:
In this statement, Pondfield
said the question which was
resolved this morning was the
manner in which the money
was to be distributed, either
by fiat guarantee or a mini
mum guarantee plus bonuses
based on anticipated handle.
The meeting resolved that
a fiat guarantee arrangement
of 43 per cent would be in
the interest of all parties. In
addition, management will
continue to distribute a surplus
Of approximately $4,000 for
purses which carried over from
the previous meeting here. In
Guiding this surplus, the pres
ent daily average purse dis
tribution at Charles Town Is
48 per cent"
PA at Meeting
Last nights session was at
tended by 274 members of the
HBPA, which found the horse
men casting an almost unani-
nous standing vote against
continuing to accept a purse
distribution of Al per cent of
the tracks 8 per cent total
mutuel take.
A secret ballot then was
taken with 1874 members voting
to support the HBPA by refus-
ing to enter horses at Charles
Town should the HBPA call on
them to take that step. Five
members voted against this pro-
poSal and three ballots were
disqualified.
DR.. RoSenberger conducted
the meeting and pointed out to
the members that the HBPA is
not union and therefore could
not call a strike without raising
certain legal technicalitieS. He
added that as individual own
erS they had the right to with
hold entries and urged them to
do so if their demands were
not met.
AS a member of the HBPk,
Pondf1eld was present at the
meeting but made no request
to be heard.
} Freddy Kratz will join the
Charles Town riding colony to-
day and plans to campaign
until the opening of the At
lantic City meeting early next
month.
