Say Union Not Certified
The owners and trainers ad-

there was no use mediating be-
cause they wouldn't meet with
the union. They said the union

Senators Willing to Forget
Part in Tying League Mark
Angels Do Share
AS Clubs Leuve
80 Men on Base
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES, July %
The Senators sneaked into the
American League record book
through the back door last
night, combining with the
Angels to tie the two-team
mark of 80 men left on base
Is by each club. Naturally,
they'd rather forget it.
The Angels, who've been as
hot as a summer night in
Georgetown in recent weeks,
had the solace of a 1876 vic
tory. But it was an inauspieious
beginning of a 17-game road
trip for Manager Mickey Yer
mons tourists.
Albie Pearson. rising young
singing star who 'inhabitS
rightfield for Los Angeles, tied
a league record held by many
players, going to bat seven Of
ficial times.
Almost every press box an
nouncement from the seventh
inning on concerned a new rec
ord for the Angels-the most
runs scored and hits made in
a nine-inning game: the most
hits and runs against Wash
ington this season." etc. The
official scorer was still trying
to tidy UP the statistics at an
early hour this morning.
Follow Little Leaguers
A four-inning Little Lacquer
game preceding the feature at
traction kept both teams from
taking batting practice. 1t
didn't bother Los Angeles.
which raped out a total of 20
hits, including a Sixth-inning
home run by Lee Thomas with
Joe Hoppe on.
In an effort to prevent a re-
currence tonight. Vernon will
send Tom Cheney to the
mound - and possibly many
more. Mickey employed five
pitchers last night, beginning
with Ed Hohaugh. who was
charged with the loss, and fin
ishing up with John Gabler. In
between came Johnny Klipp-
stein, Pete Burnside and old
Mike Garcia.
Ron Moeller went five and
one third innings for the An
gels. receiving credit for his
fourth victory against five
losses.
johnson Hits Homer
The Senators left men on
base in every inning, including
the sixth when Bob Johnson's
blast over the leftfield wall,
after pinch-hitter Marty Ke-7
ough and Chuck Hinton walked Is
brought them three runs. IT.
was the rookie shortstop's sec
ond major league homer.
The Senators drew IL bases
on balls. Harry Bright, who
left the game in the fifth in
ming after iniuring his left
ankle again, got one and scored
on Hinton's single in the fourth
inning.
Three more walks in the
eighth, after Dale Long led off
with a single, accounted for
Washington's final run.
The Angels batted around
in the third, and again in the
fourth as if to prove it could be
done. Heroes for the winners
we're Pearson, who knocked in
two runs on four hits: George
Thomas. who batted in three
runs on four hits; Ken Hunt,
with three RBI on three hits,
and Lee Thomas, driving in two
runs on two hits.

its biggest days. With the great
Kelso running against 10 9TH
ers in the $113.800 Brooklyn
Handicap the New York Rae
ing Association normally could
count on a crowd Of more than
$4,000 and a handle approach
ing IS million.
The NYRA, which runs all
the New York thoroughbred
plants, said last night it is not
a party in the dispute and made
plans to run a nine-race card
as usual.
Because transporting the
horses between Belmont, five
miles from Aqueduct. is one of
the major obstacles, the NYRA
set up two sets of eight-race
cards to go with the Brooklyn.
If the horses can be vanned
through the picket lines from
Belmont, which stables most of
the equines. the regular pro-
gram will go on. If the horses
can't be brought over safety,
the NYRA will go ahead with a
card including horses regularly
stabbed at Aqueduct and those
already on the scene from Bel
mont and other tracks.
Dispute WOrSening
The Brooklyn field is set be-
cause six of the horses. in
cluding Kelso, Don Poggio.
Yorky, Polylad, Sweet William
and Our Hope already are at
Aqueduct. Whitley, Mambo-
retta, Reinzi. Francis S. and

in.
The dispute is a knotty one
and getting more complicated
by the hour.
The State Labor Relations
Board is conducting elections
stable by stable to determine
whether the stablehands want
the union or not. Chairman
Jay Kraemer of the SLRB said
the vote by units so far showed
l9 for the union and II against.
There are six more elections to
be conducted Monday. But
there has been a request for
100 additional elections, Krae-
mer said. That will take time
to process.
Bush said the stablehands
struck because the trainers
were firing people, threatening
others with loss of their jobs,
and engaging in every conceiv-
able coercion"

land we welcome their cooper
alton in arranging the Science
Youth program.
Recent world events have
shown that a strong scientific
position is needed to assure the
freedom this nation enjoys. 1t

ison's birthday should be the
focal point of our efforts to in
terest more young people in
many of the fields pioneered by
Edison"
