TABLET IRKS Fascist
Innsbruck Memorial to Teacher to
Say They Murdered Him.

VIENNA, April IS (P.-The Inns
brueck correspondent of Deutsch Oster-
reichische said today that q monument
would be unveiled to the memory Of the
German teacher Inneshofer with the
inscription: ITO Inneshofer. Who Was
Murdered by FaScists."
The Italian consul general at Inns
brueck requested the governor Of the
province to suppress the tablet or delete
the word murdered" since Italy re-
CARDS the erection of such a memorial
as an "unfriendly act" The Andreas
Hofer League, which sponsored the
tablet, refused to do either.
Inneshofer was walking in the ma
tional pageant procession 10 years ago
at Bozen when he was killed.

BEARS HELD CAUSE
/. OF POLAR DEATHS.
Inflated Andree Expedition
Of 80 Years Ago Believed
! Victim of Sudden Attack.

3y the Associated Press.
A sudden attack by Polar bears was
advanced yesterday by Capt. Evelyn B.
Baldwin, retired explorer, as probable
cause Of the death of two members OF
the Andree Arctic balloon expedition 80
yearg ago.
Drawing from his own experiences, he
took issue with theories that Solomon
August Andree, Swedish scientist, ana
lis two companions w5re killed by coiu'
starvation or fumes from their gas stove.
Andree, Knut Trankel and mis-
Strindberg, making the first polar at
tempt by air, disappeared into the NorIn
from Danes Island, Spitzbergen, IN 1889;
They were never heard OF again unCii
last Summer, when the remains OF their
lasS encampment was found on Whlte
Island. Fridtjof Nansen Land.
Baldwin. a member of several earlier
Arctic expeditions, missed Joining the
Inflated balloon p; rty by just ~ hours,
arriving at Danes Island only to find
Andree had takeI. advantage of favor
able winds and left two days before.
From the condition and position OF
the bodies when found" Capt. Baldwin
said. II am convinced that the death OF
AT least two of them was sudden. and
or monoxide poisoning"
He recalled that the body of Strind-
berg was found under loose stones and
gravel, indicating Andree had made an
attempt to bury him. but that the bod
les of Andree and Frankel were mutt
lated.
Several years before, when and two
others we're in a hut in Franz Joseph
Land. with the snow drifted high above

cubs tried to get in through the roof.
Only the substantial construction of the
building prevented their entrance, and
finally shot them.
MY theory is that something similar
occurred in Andree's camp, but they
were in tent, and they may have sud-
denly found polar bear in their midst.
At such close quarters they would have
had little chance for their lives"

the Domino blood. strain of sprinters. It is said that Don Leon has shown no liking for distance. as he has always semed tired at the tape. This does not clearly follow. cannot be blamed if he has been tired at the end. Also, the speedy little chestnut has won several stakes of moderate distances.
 The best thing about Don Leon is his speed in getting away from the barrier. Against Back Log, Don Leon distanced the field in the early stages of the race and walked home. In the Kentucky Jockey club stakes against Equipoise, Twenty Grand, Knights Call and others, he could not maintain the pace, after breaking in front as usual.
 Don Leon is Derby caliber in spite of his apparent railing at the distances. The Kentuckian's fine performance at the post will give him an edge. If the Derby field is large, and it usually is. horses who get off to a poor start will find themselves hopelessly caught in the pack. That Is about all the advan- tage a high class sprint horse like Don Leon needs.

FAVORITES WON IN |PAR0CHIAL LEAGUE GAMES YESTERDAY

Heavy scoring once more charac- terized Parochial league games yes terday. Nine hits and nine errors was the bid of the St Thomas team which lost to St Joseph's in the closest game of the day, ending IA to Il in favor of the Brooklyn boys. In the first two innings, the Lithu- anians ran up Il runs which the north enders could do no better than dent the run disc three times. To- wards the latter innings. Frank |Conroy's kids got stronger with the bat, but their miscues in the field, coupled with steady hitting by the opposition counted three more runs in the fourth. Griska and La Pointe's work with the willow was a feature of the game.
 Nothing to It
 St Francis Xavier's entry had an easy time with Jim Carr's St Mar garet arry, winning 1S to 7, the Willow street lads getting run in the third and another the next in- hing. while the Washington Hill group scored early and often. The hitting of Smith and Kenney was excellent with Charley Moore's mound work, including 15 strikeouts something to talk about, all three boys scoring home runs.
 Two for One.
 Coming from behind a four run lead, the Sacred Heart outfit doubled the count on Sts Peter and Paul team, the final score ending the game to 4. Graham pitched good ball for the winning team.

 Kentucky is massing to back Don Leon. a native of the state and one who figures to be up among the leaders on Derby day, May 16. The "Blue Grass Region" has treated Don Leon well enough, and the son of Lee o. Cottner met and defeated however, as the secret of winning the short juvenile races is to get away quickly and set killing pace. Don Leon has always done this and every ranking juvenile in the mid dle west.
 In point of work. Don Leon is far ahead of the rest of the Derby field, having started in IS races. In money winnings, his total of $44,- 443 places him fourth behind Equi- oise, Jamestown, and Mate. It will be remembered that Flying Heels, among the richest of the 1929 youngsters, won only $7O,OOO while Gallant Fox himself was down around the figures of Don Leon.

MUDDY TRACK GIVES EOUIPOISE PICK OF
 PREAKNESS FIELD
By NELSON H. PAYNE

United Press Stan COrrespOndent.)
 Baltimore, Md, May 8.-(UP)- Candidates for the $50,000 Pimlico preakness to be run at a mile and three sixteenths tomorrow, have completed the most arduous part of their training and will receive final speed sharpeners at sprint distances to-day.
 Following the brilliant trial of twenty grand and the excellent move by Equipoise on Wednesday over a fast track, Mate came out for a 7-furlong workout through the mud yesterday. He was not hurried. and breezed the distance in 1880 just as an exercise gallop. Aegis worked mile and a furlong in 20:05 and Clock Tower the same distance in 2:11.
 Just His Style
 There Is & strong possibility that the track will remain muddy for the running of the big race, which would materially aid Equipoise, while working to the detriment of twenty Grand, who favors a fast track. These two are attracting the atten- (tion of both experienced horsemen sfeld does not lack for class. An Ichors Aweigh, another Greentree (Ace. will be in there to aid Twenty Grand if the going continues soft.
 Trainer James Rowe, who handles Twenty Grand in the Greentree sta ble barn, is enthusiastic about the { colt, pointing out that in his work on Wednesday he had almost the full preakness weight up. Fred Hop kins, who trains Equipoise for c. ". Whitney, declares the son of Pen- nant was never better and is certain to run his race Saturday on any kind Of track.
 Colts Too Classy
 No Allies will be among the start CTS in the preakness. Despite the G. pound weight concession allowed the weaker sex, no Ally has shown enough to warrant a chance to com pete against the crack colts named for the event.
 Following is the probable field, with jockeys and probable odds:

 An, but my dear Joey you don't know these boxing people! You don't know the guile they can spread. You don't know the tricks some of those boxers managers will stoop to. I just tell you what, Joe. there are some pretty bold fell lows connected with boxing nowa- days, and they are likely to try to get away with almost anything
 I'VE HAVE HEARD"
 You would be surprised, Joe, if we should tell you some of the things we have heard about the smart Alecks who manage boxers. Why, even in New York city, where boxing is under supervision of so august a body of men as Muldoon, Farley and Phelan, do you know that once in a while, we'll maybe once in very great, long while. somebody puts something across that Is just a mite, just mite, mind you, smelly?
 And contracts? Why, even a con- tract isn't sacred to some of those chislers down in New York. Mind you, Joe, I am not naming names, and l wouldn't accuse anybody for the world, but once when I was in New York, I heard that once in a while those New York chislers &C., tually pried a promising boxer and his manager apart, even though they did have contracts, and the chislers took the boxers over themselves. Of course, this may have been only a rumor, Joe; you know how those things start.
 But one of the New York fight fans was telling me that fighters have who been suspended were re- instated sometimes by the boxing commission for apparentlys no rea- son at all, even though their origi- nal offenses had lost none of their heinousness.
