JOHNST0WN BIG
 FAvORITE FOR $5o,o00 RAGE
Belmont Stakes Today Draws Fine Field;
 Heather Broom In
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Edit0r)

New York, June 3-(UP)-Johns- town goes against seven rivals to- day in a bid to clinch the national three-year-old title with a triumph in the Fist running of the Belmont stake, and the price on the morn ing line was 1-5 that the big Ken- lucky Derby winner would do 1t.
 If the Belair Bullet does-and on fast track there appeared no req son he shouldn't-his defeat in the mud of the Preakness goes into the ash-can and Johnstown goes to the head of his class. If he misses the $25, ,000-added prive of this third and final leg of Americas triple turf cromwell, there are high, wide and handsome prices to be paid the psychic souls who named the horse to beat him.
 Two of his rivals count only partially, because they are coupled in the wagering with him = the Wheatley stables gided Gilded Knight and Belair's Challenge, sent in as insurance in case or rain but not a factor on a fast crisp strip. The real competition came from these others:
 J.E. Widener's surprising Knicker- booker, which has started only three times and came home & winner on each occasion, including the Metro politan Handicap.
 J. H. Whitney's Heather Broom, the Earl ande-trained colt which won the blue grass stakes and ran third in the derby.
 A. c. BoStwick's Delay.
 William ziegler's Time Sheet.
 Greentree stables Hash, second to Johnstown in the withers.
 One Horse Race?
 The opposition was hardly dis tinguished and all hands believed the favorite would be able to stretch his vaunted speed with ease over the mile and a half route of the Belmont, longest test of three-year- olds on the calendar. There were a few people who thought maybe that long route would Sap Johnstown o1 his flash and bring him down te the level of all the rest in those extra two furlongs. .yy. ..i

GULDAHL NEAR
 BEST GAME AS US. OPEN LOOMS

United Press Staff C0rreSpOndent)
 New York, June 3-(UP)-Taking time off from setting the pace in the Goodall 126-hole round-robin golf tournament, Ralph Gulhahl to- day said he had strong feeling he would win the national open title in Philadelphia next week for the third consecutive time.
 Quietly and confidently, the big fellow from Texas pointed out that he's nearing the top of his game and should be red hot when the field of ITO starts swinging away next Thursday in the most important tournament in the country.
 Only once since the open was in- augurated in 1895 has it been wor three consecutive years by the same man-Willie Anderson won in 1903- 04-05. But if the way Guldahl is hit- ting the ball means anything, don't be surprised if Willie has company one week from tonight.
 As the field of IS picked profess sionals prepared to trtldge out over the Fresh Meadow Country club course today on fourth and fifth round matches of the Goodall tour nament, Guldahl was good mashie shot in front of the field. He's played six different men in three 18-hole threesomes, and has yet tc lose 8 decision.

Today, in the fourth round, he faces Tony Penna and Cooper and in the fifth round, he goes against P. G. A Champion Paul Runyan and Denny >Shute.
 For three rounds of the Goodall Guldahl has been only one stroke over par on one Of the toughest courses in the east. On his open- ing round Thursday he had "A four over. Then yesterday he found the touch and bagged 68 :n the morning-best round of the tourna. ment-and 69 in the afternoon. Sammy Snead, the leader of ths Goodall at the end of the first round, was down in third place to. day with 13 points, two less thar Cooper and 10 behind Guldahl.

BEST PITCHERS
 DIVORCED FROM
 TANK SLUCCERS
New Workers Seem to Have Pennant Assured
 at Very Early Date
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan Correspondenty

NeSAhaUSNA
 New York, June 3 - UP) There was more than murmur go- ing around today about the way the rival managers were juggling their pitchers to face the Yankees.
 Cleveland, for one, seems bent on keeping Bob Teller out of harms way when the Tanks come to town. The Tanks beat Teller in 10 innings May 4, and his turn hasn't come up against the world champions since. The Tanks play their final game of the current series in Cleveland to- day and Mel Harder will face them.
 Tommy Bridges has won 6 and lost and hasn't yet faced the Tanks. Bob Grove lost a heart- breaking 20 game against them opening day at Yankee Stadium and didn't get chance against them the next time the Red Sox tangled with the Tanks. Jim Bagby beat the Tanks three times last year and Jim Heving licked them twice and neither has heard the call to arms against the champs this season. Buck Newsom, another old Yankee beater, hasn't pitched against them this year. Willis Hudlin, Indians, and Ted Lyons, White Sox, two other pitching leaders, haven't had 8 chance to see what they can do about stopping the Tanks.
 The American League race may be over as everyone says, with the Tanks breeding along with 2 Ia game lead, but there are few fans around who'd like to see 'em win the pennant the hard way, not the easy one.
 Allen Annihilated
 Johnny Allen, who was beaten by the Tanks last time, failed again yesterday. The Tanks belted him out of the box before he could get any one out. Before they were stop ped the Mccarthy maulers VI had seven runs in the first frame and coasted to a 17-5 triumph. The Tanks whaled out 18 hits, including homers by Herrich and Selkirk. At- ley Donald won his fifth game.
 Hank Greenberg hit homer No. il to take the major league lead as the Tigers beat the Red Sox, S-5. Joe Cronin clouted two homers but made two errors as the Boston de. fense fell apart. Doc Cramer had $ for g..
 Ollie Bejma's single in the eighth drove in the two winning runs en- abling the While Sox to triumph over Washington, 7-5. Lefty Lee went the route for Chicago giving up II hits.
 Overtime Again
 Making habit of winning extra inning games, Cincinnati rolled back the Bees, 40. in II innings (after the previous days 14-inning affair." to increase the Reds National League lead to three games. Whitey Moore won his sixth game, giving up nine hits. Ernie Lombardi hit his ninth homer with two on.
 The Giants snapped three-game losing streak by beating the Card inals, 8-2. The Terrymen drove Curt Davis to cover in the first inning, scoring five runs. Bill Lohrman, who relieved Melton in the fifth, pitched hitless ball to receive credit for the victory.

Lourdes and Fratellanza cross bats in what is expected to be 8 well matched game. This game is also
 scheduled for Fulton park. The Frats made their first appearance
 last week and lost a to 6 decision to the league leading Civilta Pro-
 gresso. The Lourdes are an in and
 out ball team and don't seem to click just right. The Lourdes are
 slight favorites in this game and
 are expected to come through with
 another victory. Latino will pitch and Gambino will catch for the
 Fratellanza. Louie aSnchea will be
 on the mound for the Lourdes with Jimmy Marticello behind the bat.
 Charles Gerace will umpire and Pete Toilette will score both games at Fulton park. The third game of the afternoon will see two rivals pitted against each other when the Aviglianese, defending champs and Pontes take the field. This game will get underway at 4 o'clock at Washington park. When two team hail from the same section of the city one might expect anything to happen. For years these two teams have bitterly hated each other and this afternoon will show up the bet ter team. It was just last year that the Aviglianese beat the Pontes to clinch the pennant in hard struggle. Manager Dom Accousti of the Aviglianese has bet Manager Louis Rinaldi a keg of beer that the Aviglianese will trim the Pontes. All Pontes players are urged to meet at the club rooms at 3:30. Smiling Jo Mazzaferra, coach of the Pontes. will send his young left handler Joe Poslopiano to the mound with the veteran Henry Santopillio doing the receiving.

Hazlett Makes Scathing Reply To Audit Letter

from. Undoubtably the Council au-
thorized the ALLEGATION of the mon
ey but did Congress pass on this ex-
pendlture of tribal funds. I appre-
ciate highly the thoughts you ex-
press in the last few paragraphs of
your letter - it sounds more like
old times but with one exception
you suggest that our treasurer and
myself dig up S15435 covering
purported shortage. 1t is entirely
possible that this money is still mis-
placed - locating the other mon
eys, it is reasonable to assume that
we can also locate this money also.
If were to follow your advise, I
would be a self-confessed thief or
embezzler and to this object as I
| have never stolen a nickle during
life of Sc years. l have a family,
all doing well, in fact better than
ordinary - do you think for min
ute that I am going to leave them
a heritage that their dad was a
self confessed thief or embezzler
and just at your suggestion. can
dig up SIS, - can also go out on
the streets of Browning hat in
hand and possible collect several
hundred dollars in an effort to COM
bat your outrageous and unholy
proposition. 1t is the talk of the en-
tire community that this whole pro-
position resolves itself into being
but one equation - the Indian Of
flee through yourself is trying to
meddle in Blackfeet politics - an
election is coming up shortly and
to we Blackfeet is a belated effort
on the part of Washington to black
en- the opposition and get ourselves
a rubber stamp council - one that
will be there at your beck and call.
The fore part of your letter is so
unfair and indicative, no effort be-
ing given us to answer your charg-
es. 1t appears to me that you have
imposed upon yourself the duty of
Judge, jury, hangman and all with
absolutely no regard to our feel
ings. Frankly speaking, we were
convicted and hanged before we
ever got started. Your letter states
specifically that copy of your let
ter is being sent to each member
of the Council heard about the
letter Saturday. l was told that GER
tain uarties had copies and was
told of the contents. Tuesday, l re-
ceived the original and upon in
quiry have learned that with the
possible exception of one individ-
ual, not a member of the Council
has as yet received a copy. Some.
even have not as yet heard about it.
But, this letter is being spread
broadcast among the elite and the
opposition and is actually going to
be published for political purposes
and in the final analysis that is
what it is. The Indian office
through you is making herculean
effort to control Blackfeet votes at
the coming election. Apparently
bolshevick Russia has nothing on
the Indian department and then
you talk of the Reorganization act
and Selfgovernment - there is no
such animal. If given an opportun-
ity the Blackfeet as well as many
other thousands of Indians would
throw the act in the garbage can
tomorrow morning. 1t is no exag-
geration when l state that it is safe
to say that 80 per cent of the
Blackfeet are and always have been
opposed to the act. Senator Chavez
