Belmont P ark
FroWns On
Fanfare
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, April IA G.N.S)
It seems incredible, but the Bel
mont Park management does moi
propose to be vulgar and middle
class and rapacious about its big
race between Seabiscuit and Wal
Admiral on May 30. It doesn't In.
tend to exploit or increase its
scale Of prices for the day.
Anyhow, so said Racing Secre-
tary John j. Coakley in q talk
with the writer today.
In view of this, the writer can
only add that he's not like other
experts. He cannot pick the win
ner at this early date. He can only
pick q possible loser, which Is q
track management which thinks
1t can run a 100000 horse race
while having itself q sever seizure
Of lofty ideals.
TO TAKE CHANCE
"We're going to gamble with
the public on this" said Coax
ley, firmly. "At least, that's the
impression I got from several
members of the board. They
seemed to think that the race
should be treated as part of QUIZ
regular program, with no in
crease in admission prices.
I'm this way, our policy In
the grandStand section would
be first come, first served. Tlle
reserved seats, therefore, would
be found only In the club house
stands. We want 10 make this
an event purely for the public"
AS q matter of fact, they'd ret.
ter get the public in on it and
plenty Of them. Belmont Park, ss
I understand it, can put $4,000
people in the grandstand and on
the lawn, where the daily admis-
sion is $3.50 for men and $l.76
for women.
AT the same prices, 10000 more
can be accommodated in the pad
dock and, In the infield, 1t will be
possible to handle UP to an ad-
dltional 26,000--if people would
only be so reasonable as not to
arrive at q given point, stimuli
taneously.
MEAN" PRICES
The clubhouse prices, by the
way, are IS for men and 81 for
women, making q mean" Of all
prices at $3.30-or close to $780,
900 for q sellout. The only trouble
with this IL that box office con.
geStion is sometimes like fame;
it can turn a lot Of peoples heads
toward home.
It probably is fair enough all
around that the provisions of this
race call for the winner to get the
entire purse. But, in putting the
affair on q winner-take.all basis,
the directors meant this ony to
apply to the horse finishing
second. It's barely possible,
though, that they've even in
cluded themselves.

claimed his readiness to pitch
the opening game Of the season.
In the fifth the Bees turned out
the earned run on Terrell. Ap-
pleton had three runs scored on
him; none Of them earned. An
error by Lewis on q play which
should have ended thn inning, set
the stage for Johnson, and Wright
lost the Swedish-siwash's drive in
the sun.
COMPENSATES FIELDING
Bonura put on q perfect imita-
ton Of a trained seal in fielding
Johnson'S grounder in the first
inning. That's all right. Maybe
he'll bot a couple, but he'll drive
in five runs for everyone he fields
home.
The Braves believe in playing
the game right up to the handle.
In the fifth inning with Riddle
on first and Fette at the bat, they
attempted q hit-and-run play.
Fette fouled off the ball. Yves
Terrell then cut lose a wild pitch
that put Riddle on second, and
the Braves switched to q Sacri-
flee, Fette bunting. Mayo's long
fly completed the first earned run
Of the game.
Yves Terrell went into a storm
OF temperament when Cal Hub
bard called a strike on him in
the fourth inning. The umpire
always has the last word in these
debates, and in this particular
instance, Hubbard had the last
word on the next pitch. He simply
said: Strike three"
Bonura delighted the crowd by
dropping a triple on the right
field foul line in the sixth inning.
Zeke stood and suffered while
Stone and TRAVIS were easy outs.
Bonura tapped over the plate on

Teacher Is Slain.

BY the Associated fTeSS.
VIENNA. March 5.-Police were
summoned today to halt riot between
swastika- wearing Nazi students and
government supporters at Vienna Uni
versity.
The Nazi students mixed into the
regular Saturday meeting of fraterni-
ties with shouts of ''heil Hitler!" The
government supporters countered with
rousing "heil Schuschnigg!" and the
two groups clashed.
Police stopped the demonstration
before any injuries more serious than
blackened eyes and smashed noses
were suffered.
Nazis blamed the incident on Com
munists while the youth involved de-
clared the NaZis were responsible. The
official version said that only non-
political jealousies of rival boy groups
were involved.
The clash was the second in Vienna
within "a hours. A 25-year-old teach
er, Hans Lalitsch. was said by physi-
clans to have been fatally wounded
when he refused to raise his hands at
the order Of 10 masked men who in
vaded an Austrian youth movement
hall. After shooting the teacher and
16-year-old boy the masked raiders
escaped in automobiles.
Informed quarters believe that
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg has
gained powerful support from the Aus
trian Socialists in his fight to prevent
the illegal spread Of nazism.
The chancellor received a delegation

ton was practically complete"

In Cable Break
Torpedo Station Link
at Newport Held
Cut With Sa,U.
By the Associated Press.


NEWPORT, R. l., March 5.-John
J. Honor, wire chief of the New Eng
land Telephone Co., said today that
the telephone cable linking the New
port torpedo station and the mainland
had been cut with a hacksaw Feb
ruary 8.
Prior to his statement, the break
had been regarded as accidental.
Mr.. Honor said the cable had been
cut near the Newport terminus and
one severed end tied to small sub
merged buoy.
Naval officials are investigating and
for some time have maintained a rigid
guard about the station. Marines
escort all visitors. The half-mile strip
which holds the station proper is
barred completely to outsiders.
Neither naval nor telephone COM
pany officials have advanced any mo-
tive for the cutting.
The cable is about 1000 feet long
and is composed of LOO strands OF
copper wire.
The station, the Nays principal
torpedo mandatory, employs about
$500 persons, including $500 civilians
