bookmakers of England and Ire
land which horse wins tomorrow
as all are assured of their best
season in many years. thanks to
the fact that yesterdays Lincoln
shire was won by a 33-to-1 out
slider, Marmaduke Jinks. 1t is esti-
mated that close to 25 million
dollars was Wagere0 in England
and Ireland on the annual double
the Lincolnshire and the Grand
National. Very few bettors picked
Marmaduke Jinks to take the
Lincolnshire.
The King and Queen, attending
the Grand National for the first
time in years, are due at Aintree
late today. They will be the guests
of the Earl of Derby at his nearby
estate before and after the great
chase classic. Listed among other
guests at the Earl of Derby's are
the Duke and Duchess Ct Norfolk.
U. S. Horses Long Shots
B. Hobbs, trainer of the Amerl-
can-owned Flying Minutes and the
American-bred What Have You,
accords these two only outside
chances of winning tomorrow. Fly
ing Minutes, owned by the lucky
Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark, who has
a place in Virginia, is in at the
light weight of 140 pounds. Flying
Minutes, incidentally, has never
fallen and three times has jumped
part of the Aintree course. What
Have You also seems to be sure
footed, as he has fallen only once
in his career. What Have You
won the FoXcatcher National Cup
at Fair Hill. Nd. last year in i'm
pressive fashion, and this course
comes as near to being like the
Alntree course as any in America
To date, the greater part of the
money Wagered on the Grand Ma
tional has been placed on Golden
Miller. Odds on the Miller are now
at 100 to II, a short price consjd-
ering the fact that the odds
against any horse entered in the
Grand National finishing are 4
to /.

A bitter battle by friends Of the
loyalist Spanish Government for
the right to send American money
to its aid in the current civil war
developed in the House today as
leaders planned passage of the
McReynolds neutrality bill.
The issue was injected into the
controversy over legislation de,
signed to keep the nation out of
war by Chairman Sam Mercy,
nolds CD of Tennessee, of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, who
declared against American aid for
any foreign army.
Curb on Donations
Charges that the American Gov.
ernment is aiding the Fascist in
surgent forces in Spain were made
by members who banded together
to defeat the McReynoldS amend
ment.
Under terms of the McReynolds
proposal it would be unlawful Ito

"A vicious and untrue cam
paign is being waged against the

CABLE, WOMAN
UNDER ARREST
IN Staying
Investigation Pushed
In Shotgun Death
OF Ohio Matron

CANTON, Ohio, March 1a
U.N.S0.-Deuber S. Gable, hus-
band Of the victim in Canton'S
sensational murder mystery, and
Miss Theresa Ludwig, divorce
with whom he had had an affair
for seven years, were placed url-
der technical arrest today and
held for investigation.
Early today, 18 hours after
Cable was spirited away from his
home by detectives, a squad Of six
Canton and Stark county authori-
ties brought Gable and the woman
to city Jail.
Police Chief Ira Manderbaugh
issued statement saying the au-
thorities had made some prog
ress" in the case.
Both Face Quiz
Gable was booked for investiga-
ton, and Miss Ludwig was held
under the original technical charge
of suspicion on which she was
booked Monday. Police court Of
ficials said the two can be held
for 70 hours under the technical
charges placed against them.
The police investigation to date
has produced nothing, so far as
is known, toward establishing the
identity of the person who fired
the shotgun, through breakfast
room window of the Cable home,
which killed Mrs. Gable.
Investigation has centered prin-
cipally on these points: The foot
prints found outside the window
of the Gable home; the Akron
apartment maintained by Gable for
Miss Ludwig since July, 1884, and
scene of a number of parties at
tended by prominent men Of Can
ton, Akron and Cleveland; and
reports that Cable and his wife
had quarreled over the financial
affairs of the company which
Gable heads.
Slain a Week Ago
The sensational new develop
mentS came one week to the day
after Mrs. Rose Gable, 48, Cables
socially prominent wife and
mother of two children, was slain
by a shotgun blast fired through
a window in the Cable home in q
fashionable section of Canton.
The squad of authorities who
brought Gable and Miss Ludwig to
Jail was headed by Elmer E.
Clerk, chief of Canton detectives,
and County Prosecutor A. c. L.
Barthelmeh.
Cable and the woman had been
questioned by authorities on nu.
merous prior occasions since Mrs.
Gable was shot Thursday night.
Both admitted to police that they
had engaged in an illicit romance
for seven years, and that since
July, 1884, Gable had maintained
an apartment for her in Akron.
Other tenants Of the apartment
building knew the two as "Mr. and
Mrs. John Sherrard."
Apartment Searched
Search of the apartment dis
closed many letters and photo
graphs, a portable bar, and the
attractively furnished five-room
suite was stocked with an ample
supply of choice liquors and cham
payne.
Questioning of the two brought
out tie fact that four other prom
inent businessmen of Ohio at
tended parties at the apartment.
All the men are highly respected
and family men"
This disclosure led to reports
that the scandal arising from the
murder investigation would engulf
four other families. However.
Prosecutor Barthelmeh and Chief
Manderbaugh have declared re-
peatedly that names of the men
will not be disclosed unless the in
vestigation develops some facts
which lead authorities to believe
that the men might have been in
volved in some way in the killing.

TURCOTTE GETS
 GIFT DEC|S|ON;
 ETTERS SCORES
TrianO Weathers KnOck= down to Hold Frank
 Pease to Draw

Dick Turcotte didn't bump into a pushover last night in Frankie War ren, rugged Meriden Italian, but he did bump into an undeserved deci- sion when Referee Jim Calvin rais- ed his hands after three rounds of willing milling by both lads. It was one of the feature bouts on the Wa terbury A. c. amateur show at Ram dolph Cloves Stadium.
 An estimated crowd of 2,000 saw the abbreviated program of six bouts, all of which had plenty of action. A heavy downpour caused the cancellation of the other four. For the next few weeks the pro- motors plan 12-bout show instead of the usual 10 to make up the dif- ference.
 The crowd booed the Turcotte- Warren decision so loudly, An. nouncer Chick Kelly was unable to introduce the principals in the fol- lowing bout. Turcotte didn't look like the puncher or boxer he is as hs he was extremely wild. Warren gave him all the fighting he wanted and the worst the Silver Cityite should have received was draw. Etters Comes Through
 Emil Eetters of Waterbury, who can really fight when he wants to-, decisioned Paulie Warren of Meri- den, a brother of Turcotte's oppo- nent, in a fast bout which was fought in the rain for the last two rounds. The local Italian scored a two-count knockdown which was his margin of triumph.
 Joe Triano, former Naugatuck High athlete, looked good in hold- ing smiling Frankie Pease of Willi- mantle to a draw in a dandy bout which saw the borough Italian kiss the canvas for nine-count in the third round. Triano weathered the blow, a hard right on the whiskers, and Jabbed away at Pease to earn the even-stephen which was well re- ceived.
 Kohen Gets Draw
 Adam Kohen of Waterbury boxed a comical three round draw with Tony Gillo of New Haven in the opener. Both threw punches from all angles and each knew the other was in a battle when the final gong sounded.
 Mike Chuckta, Shelton boy who was fiattened by Dick Turcotte last week, met an equal foe in Joe 'Rupbberlegs' Vona of Willimantic and loked much better than most fans expected. He won the decision on a knockdown in the first round. The little fellows stood toe to toe and gave and took plenty.
 Kid Sal Impressive
 Kid Sal of Meriden, 138, made his local debut most impressive with A technical knockout over the elonR- ated Frank Kosowsky of Shelton in the first round. The Polish lad went down for a nine count before his second fall for tn efatal ten. Sal IS a dynamic puncher with power in both hands.

LOCAL BOYS WIN
 NEW CITY BOUTS
Teddy Mays Scores Knock Out-Eddie Mays Takes
 Decision

Torrington, Aug. 13 - A goodly number of fight fans braved heavy showers to witness last nights pre- sentation of the American Legion's fifth in @ series of weekly amateur fights at Fuessenich park. The rain seemed to act as an incentive to the fighters who put on a very in- teresting show all the way.
 Matchmaker Frank J. Alicky, fearing that old man weather would put an end to the program soon after 1t started, called the main bout after the end of the fourth scrap. The principals, Willie An- drews, 132, of New Haven and Frankie Ratigan, 132, of Winsted, gave all they had but Referee Dan Buckley of Bridgeport called 1t a draw. A return bout between these two should prove quite interesting.
 Other results Harry Berdick, 138, Winsted, decisioned by Tony Krop, 140 of Torrington, in the second round; Ted Mays, 1858, Wa terbury, scored a technical knock out over Ray Prentice, 156, of Vim sted. The fight was held up for Q short time until Prentice recovered from a low blow.

 UPSET TOMM|ES
Locals Play Ragged Ball to Lose Bristol Twilight
 Game, 7 to 3

Bristol, Aug. 13 = Dick Hubbell looked like King Carl Hubbell and the Waterbury North End Tommies, City Amateur League champions, looked anything but that in an eight inning twilight game before 15l cash customers last night at Muzzy Field who saw the local Interstate League representatives chalk up an easy 2 to 3 victory over the Brass City combine.
 Infielders Woefully Sloppy
 The West Ends did not show much respect for Wally Berg, draft ed pitcher of the visitors, and went to work on the veteran Hartfordite in the first inning scoring five runs on four hits and two juicy infield errors.
 George Scott, 46-year-old left fielder, started the inning with a double to center. Al Bordeaux made first and Scott third when Liddy Jasilunas booted the centerflelder' grounder. Grand Martel singled to center scoring Scott and sending Bordeaux to third. Lefty Lauren deau popped to Sal Marc and Bor- deaux easily scored after the catch. zetarski singled to center sending Bordeaux to third. Lou La Ponte famed. Bill Strawhowski made first when Jasinlunas booted his grounder and Martel scored. Steve Ostrowski doubled to right and Martel and Ostrowski scored.
 Zajac Hits Triple
 The Tommies got two runs back in the second. Lefty McHugh walk ed with one out. Sammy Zajac wal loped triple to deep center scoring McHugh and scored as Sal Marc flied to Zetarski.
 zajac singled to center with one out in the fourth. Sal Marc drew a pass. Joe Marc singled to left, scor- ing Zajac.
 Laurendeau Crosses Plate
 The West Ends gathered another run in the fifth. Zajac threw wild over first on Martel's grounder, the scrappy catcher getting two bases. Laurendeau beat out a bunt to Berg, Martel going to third. zetarski hit to zajac who threw Martel out at the plate when Joe Marc made a beautiful catch of his bad throw home. LaPonte singled to center scoring Laurendeau.
 Strawhowski opened the West Ends eight by getting to second when zajac threw wild over first | He scored AS 'Rub' Shaw let Steve Ostrowski's easy roller go through his legs. Hubbell famed but Scott walked. Here the umpires called the game on account of darkness.
 Keeley Works Out
 Charley Keeley of the Sacred Hearts worked the last two innings for the Tommies and hurled hitless ball although one run was charged against him, due to two errors an6 two bases on balls.
