the recognition makes Alters feel

HBPA States
Strike Vote in
Bowie Dispute

BALTIMORE, Feb. 4 (Spe-
ciaD Members of the Mary
land-Delaware- Charles Town
division of the Horsemen's
Benevolent and Protective As
sociation will hold a general
membership meeting next
Tuesday night at the American
Legion Hall in Laurel to decide
whether to race their horses
at the Bowie meeting, sched-
uled to open February IL.
This was announced yester-
day by DR.. George Rosenberger,
president of the regional divi-
sion following a meeting with
Donald c. Lillis, Bowie presi-
dent, at which the horsemen
and track management could
not agree on 1860 purse dis
tribution.
Two Contracts Rejected
| Rosenberger said after the
meeting that II don't think
there will be any racing at
Bowie on February IL. The
horsemen are solid. I've never
seen them so mad. We own the
horses and if we refuse to run
at Bowie there will be no
racing"
Rosenberger, a Wilmington.
Del, veterinarian who owns a
one-horse stable. said the HBPA
offered Bowie two contracts and
both were rejected.
Before leaving by train for
New York, Lillis, a wealthy in
vestment banker, said. I'VE
tried to negotiate with the
HBPA and we're stalemated
over the method of distributing
the money"
A track spokesman also
quoted Lillis as saying that
Bowie would open as scheduled.
Earlier Negotiations Seen
John F. Loome, assistant to
the president of Bowie, said
there was a possibility that
negotiations would be resumed
with horsemen before the strike
vote is taken Tuesday night.
The HBPA said it wants 1886
OF the total mutuel handle and
that the track is willing to give
it. However, Bowie baked
when the horSemen wanted it
based on last years mutuel
handle, which averaged about
81 ,0l9,000 daily. Bowie said it
preferred paying the percent
age on a current basis.
Rosenberger said 1000 bull
letins are being issued to horse
men, alerting them to the sit
uation. Active members of the
division number about $500.
In another development, the
Polan family, owner of the
controlling interest in the Bel
Air race track, has announced
it is not interested in selling
Hartford county plant.
But President Bernard Polan
said it will cooperate with the
Maryland Racing Commission
in running its dates at another
track if that is in the best
interests of Maryland racing.

Hits Peak in

By CARL SELL
Star Stah Writer

Coach Bob Dwyer, who had
been insisting for the last two
weeks his Carroll High School
basketball team hadn't reached
its peak, finally conceded last
night.
His fabulous Lions smashed
the University of Maryland
Freshmen. 95-72, in a prelimi-
nary game to the Maryland

victory was No. 38 straight for

81.
This was the biggest win in
the history of the school" "
Dwyer said after the game.
There have been some big
wins, like the finals of the
Knights of Columbus and New
port tournaments last year, but
even they can't compare with
this one," he added.
Meet Gonzaga Tomorrow
The Lions will attempt to
break Techs record when they
play Gonzaga in a Catholic
League game at 9 pm. tomor-

Carroll scored 16 straight
points before the Terp Fresh

6:35 gone in the first period.
The teams played four 10-min-
ute quarters.
George Leftwich, a 6-foot

the Lions to the early lead.
