TOPAY RANSOM
ON CREDIT

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 G.N.S0.
Nathan Bass, a real estate dealer
and minor sports promoter, who
was kidnapped Monday night, was
released early today ION credit"
His kidnapers had demanded
$4,000 ransom, but Bass was
given his freedom on promise to
pay $4,000 as soon "as con-
venient."
Mats brother, Arkie, who is
associated with Humbert FugaZy

bowl at Coney Island, persuaded
the kidnapers he could not raise
the ransom money and would
pay the smaller sum later, &C.
cording to police.
Bass said he was released
somewhere in Long Island City,
Queens. He said after he was
grabbed by three men in an auto
mobile on Monday evening he
was blindfolded and taken to a
hiding place. Last night he was
placed in an automobile and
driven around for several hours
before he was released.
He said he never saw his cap
tors. They treated him well and
fed him three or four times daily.
When he was released he was
told to stand in the street until
his kidnapers disappeared. He
said he was left with only 8
dime.
Arkie Bass refused to tell po-
lice how he talked his brother
to freedom"
He said he was constantly being
watched and feared for his life.
He said he knew he was under
constant watching by the "kid-
naping gang," who wanted to
make sure he did not reveal the
identity of the men to whom he
promised to pay the $4,000 ran

Real Baseball Fan

In a particular seat behind
the press box at each game
when the Nationals play at
home sits Gen. Peyton March,
U. S. A., former chief Of staff
during the World War.
He arrives before the crowd,
picks the certain seat, and
reads two magazines before the
call of "play ball"
Each day the procedure Is
the same-the same seat, the
same magazines. And in the
fifth or sixth inning, when
the sun strikes the seat where
the general rests, he carefully
moves to another spot-also
the same each day.
