TWO THEORIES
Held IN DEATH
OF NOTED HORSE
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. uJ.p

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. (UP)
Chemists and PSYCHOLOGISTS pur-
suing three separate inquiries into
the death of Phar Lap, famous
Australian race horse, were con-
fronted today by two opposing the
orieS that poison or stomach ulcers
killed the Red Terror"
a small amount of arsenic was
found in an analysis of internal
organs but was not sufficient to
cause death, University of Cali
fornia chemists reported to David
j. Davis, owner of the horse. 1t
was presumed the arsenic came
from spray used on oak trees near
Phar Laps stables in Menlo Park,
a suburb.
An autopsy by city chemists dis
closed the horse suffered from
stomach ulcers, indicating he was
i'll before coming to the United
States from Australia last January
and that he was a sick horse
when he won the $4,000 Aqua CAL
iente handicap in March
Experts were inclined to believe
the arsenic may have aggravated
the ulcers, but that the constitu-
tional ailment was the ultimate
cause of death.

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 49, - What
this country needs in addition to
stiff jail sentence for the per-
son, or persons, starting para
graph with the first four words
used at the beginning of this one,
is a baseball manager or owner
with a little shoWmanship.
The men who operate the New
York Giants proved yesterday that
they wouldn't get to first base in
, contest for showmanship and
craftsmanship when they allowed
the opening game of the season to
be played before 1900 fans and
approximately $4,000 nice, freshly
painted green seats.
Up until this year the Giants
had made it a rule to give off
thousands of passes to the first
game of the season. The result of
this generosity was a jammed sta
dium, a bowling, stomping, whist
ling pack of fans, and send off
that put enough baseball thrill in
thousands OF guys TO make them
pay their way in for the rest of
the season.
This year the passes were passed
up, SO to speak, in honor of the
depression. And you should have
been there to get a load of that
opening day game between the
Giants and the Phillies Surround
ed on all sides by large empty
seats the 1900 of the faithful who
had gathered sat there like SO many
oyercoated totem poles with hats
on. The whole thing was about as
festive as a funeral chapel on a
Monday morning.
And baseball, given such a dreary
setting, isn't worth a dollar of any
mans money. Baseball, like fight
ing and any other sport you can
name, depends, to a large extent,
anyway, on the roar of the crowd
for its apepal. Any organization
with a grain of showmanship
would have covered the stadium
with paper and given the first
game a fitting send off--a sendoff
calculated to make a man want to
come back for more-even if he
had to pay the freight.
Another thing-Why in the name
OF all that's sweet and lovely do
the major league open their sea-
sons as early as April u, when
football weather prevails? 1t wasn't
chilly at the polo grounds yester-
day-it was downright cold, with
not enough sun to freckle an AL
bino and cold winds whipping off
the placid harlem. If the owners
insist on starting SO early it is only
proper that they do away with the
rain check and substitute hot water
bottles, electric pads, fur coats, ear
muffs. cold remedies and the name
of a reliable ear, nose and throat
physician.
It's awfully difficult to fully ap-
preciate a triple, a nice running
catch or a seventh inning rally
when you feel pneumonia or death
by freezing slipping down your coat
collar.

CHRISTY TO Get
OPPOSITION FROM
FINNISH CRAPPLER

Rudy Skarda. the 20-year-old
Finnish grappler. who meets Vic
Christy, the boy-wonder of the mat
game in the feature battle of the
all-star wrestling program at the
FL Centre arena Friday night. ex-
{ poets to make this bout a bid for
matches with some Of the outstand-
ing heayyweights on the coast.
II he wins this bout, Skarda, who
is a bit more experienced and a
more powerfully built grappler than
his opponent, will be in line for
matches with some of the stars
around Los Angeles who are COM
peting for a chance at Jim Lon
dos. who is slated TO arrive on the
coast in two weeks.
Veteran mat critics who have
seen both Of the young stars in
action are of the opinion that had
Skarda been given the same chances
against The first-raterS that were
given Christy he would probably
be in line for chance at the
worlds title at the present time.
The second bout on this card
should prove another whirlwind af-
fair. Dr.. P. A Mulhkin. worlds
light heavyweight champion, who
has trained many of the heavy
weight champions of the game in
recent years. has agreed TO place his
title at stake in a time limit bout
with Marciano Agrava, the only
Filipino grappler in the game.
MarcianO, better known as Mar
shall. won several important bat
ties with light heavieS in Los An
geleS several months ago. He is a
clever, Furnishing grappler, who is
capable OF giving many of the
heavyweightS a rugged battle. Like
Ed Lewis. he specializes in the
headlocks.
Now that Marshall has returned
from The northwest and Mullikin is
IN probably as good condition as
he ever was for a title battle. the
wrestling chiropractor agreed to the
match only on condition it would
be a time limit eVent-30 minutes
was specified. In order to prove
he is entitled TO a finish encounter,
Marshall took the bout.
Luis Mayo light heavyweight
champion of Mexico, and one of
the most colorful grapplers of his
weight in the game today, will meet
Tex Wright, the rough headlocking
motor-cop, in the opening event, as
Wright outweighs Mayo by about
so pounds, the bout should be
packed with plenty of speed, rough
ing and all around sensational ac-
ton.

reckon who's who and what's what
The long heralded grand opening
was one of the bluest inaugurals IL
the history of modern baseball
Only l19,50o spectators attended
the six games played, whereas
100000 swarmed TO the eight open
ers in 1881.
High lights OF the opening day
were Babe Ruth's two homers at
Philadelphia and the Yankees dem
onstration of hitting power Gin
cinnati's emergency hitting strength
was demonstrated against the Cubs:
the Cardinals championship brand

of the New York Giants, and the
question mark at Brooklyn as 4
result of the flop of the disor-
ganized Dodgers before the Braves.
Babe Ruth, starting his
eighteenth major league season.
warmed the hearts of his legions
of admirers by playing more mag
nificently than ever before in ali
opening game. He drove out two
homers and accounted for five runs
as his Yankee team mates Swamped
the American league champion
Athletics at Philadelphia, II TO 6.
In five times at bat he homered
twice, singled once, grounded out
and went out on strikes.
His team mate, Sammy Byrd,
who has been budding for three
seasons, blossomed out with two
circuit clouts, and Lou Gehrig got
one. Foxx and Simmons OF the AS
garnered a homer each, totallng
seven home runs for the game,
just one less than the American
league record
IN the only other American di-
vision game played, The White
Sox Walloped the st. Louis Browns,
9 to 2, at Chicago.
The Cardinals looked like
champions as they administered
the worst beating Of the day to the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 10 TO 2. Pepper
Martin, hero OF last years world
series, showed form by stealing a
base. James Collins, who replaced
Chic Hafey in left field knocked
the only home run of the game.

Max Carey's reorganized Brook

Braves, 8 to 3, at Brooklyn, be-
wildered in the field, weak in

previously touted hitting. Hack
Wilson, the heavy slugger, made
one meaningless hit.
The Philadelphia Phillies sprung

to weaken in the ninth.
Combing back in the final round
Garcia made a whirlWind attempt
to finish the Fresno boy but all he
received for this was a few cheers.
Sports writer's at the ringside
generally expressed their opinion
that Corbetts showing was any,
thing but that of a challenger to

said his leg work was slow and his

HOOVER CHANCE
TO REPEAT IN
TEXAS IS SLIM
Lone Possibility Is Revenge
of Disappointed Faction
in Governor Race.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times STAFF Writer

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. a.
Herbert Hoover may have an out
side chance of repeating in Texas
this year, but is a very distant one.
1t, however, is causing some
Democratic leaders concern as they
visualize possible court proceedings
over the outcome of the guberna-
torial primary.
OF a total vote of $4,000, Ma
Ferguson, former Governor. is lead
ing Governor Ross Sterling by less
than 1000.
The official count will not be
known until the Democratic state
convention meets at Lubbock,
Sept. 13.
The state committee will certif-
the result on the basis of the fig
ures in hand. The fight may go to
the legislature or to the courts.
But the immediate issue, insofar
as national politics is concerned, is
whether enough Ferguson Demo-
crats-if ma" is counted out-or
enough Sterling partisans if Mrs
Ferguson is given the credentials,
will try to get their revenge on
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
There is a real possibility, how
ever, of the election of Republican
Governor, if resentment increases.
Otherwise, President Hoover al
most is forgotten man" politically
in Texas. The enthusiasm which
carried the state for him four years
ago no longer exists.
Texans who were loudly advocat-
ing Hoover in 1923 are silent today.
Under the direction of R. B. Crea-
ger, Republican national commit
teeman, the state G. o. P. is stand
ing by, awaiting the outcome of the
Ferguson-Sterling contest, prepara-
tory to whooping it up once more
for Hoover and Orville Burlington,
their nominee for Governor.

LIBERALS LEFT
OUT OF HOOVER
BALLOT DRIVE
Nor Is a Single Progressive
in Campaign Army as
Now Organized.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. Mot a
singles liberal or progressive Re-
publican will take the stump for the
Hoover-Curtis ticket, according to
the list OF leading orators made
public today by Henry j. Allen, head
OF the Republican speakers bureau.
Whereas, Hoover had numerous
liberals as his champions four years
ago, including Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes, Senators Borah,
Brookhart, Nye, Couzens, johnson
and Cutting his spokesman in this
campaign will consist of some of
the most conservative members of
the party.
Instead of Hughes in the east,
Ogden L. Mills, treasury secretary.
will do most of the battle there.
Instead Of Borah in the west, Ar
thur M. Hyde, agriculture secretary,
is counted on to hold the farmers
in line.
Conservatives for Drive
Instead of advocates of lower
tariffs like Borah, Nye and Brook
hart, the administrations chief
spokesman on tariffs and taxes will
be Senator Reed Smoot (Utah)
chairman Of the senate finance COM
mittee, co-author of the Hawley-
Smoot measure and high priest of
protectionism.
Senator David A. Reed pa, who
has acted as Andrew w. Melons
defender in the senate, will reinforce
Smoot. Reed has also been the
United States Steel corporations
counsel.
Two other senatorial conservatives
scheduled for the campaign drive
are Sunny Jim Watson Qnd), and
Senator George H. Moses IN. HI.
1t was Moses who angered west
ern congressman by clubbing them
sons of the wild jackass."
MacNider to Play Part
Hanford MacNider, who resigned
as minister to Canada, will sub
stitute for Colonel Theodore Roose-
VelI III appealing 10 WOrlQ war
veterans.
AS soon as it was decided to bow
to Roosevelt's preference to remain
on his job as general of the
Philippines instead of coming home
for the campaign, MacNider was
called.
With Young Teddy, MacNider was
one of the organizers of the Amer
lean Legion. He may deliver an
anti-bonus address at the con-
vention in Portland this month.
Allen said MacNider would be at
tached to the Chicago speakers
bureau, and speak under the
auspices of Republican ex-service
mems organization.

Creager's only hope for substantial
inroads into the normal Democratic
strength.
Not only is there resentment
against Hoover in Texas because of
the depression, but religion no long
er figures, as in 1928.
Roosevelt is a Protestant and he
appeals to the church people.
Prohibition is not counting, as was
indicated in the recent congress
sional primary when young Joseph
Weldon Bailey, running as drip
ping wet, overwhelmed the pic
