One Dies, ESQ Treated for Heat
And Fatigue on Parade Route
Frst-Aid Stations Are Crowded When
Temperature Rises as Throngs Wait

The happy welcome to King
George and Queen Elizabeth had it's
tragic side, too
1t brought death to one person
a shabbily dressed man, who COL
lapsed while selling baskets along
the route of the big parade
sent nearly $50 others to first-aid
stations for treatment for fatigue
and minor injuries.
The heat and the size of the crowd
along the route of the royal pro-
cession combined to cause the cas-
ualties. Temperatures mounted
from IS degrees at 9 In, when the
throngs began to assume sizable
proportions, to 86 at about the time
the parade started, and the growth
of the crowd kept pace. Aside from
the death, however, few Of the cas-
ualties were considered serious by
the physicians who provided treat
ment.
The death occurred before the
start of the procession, while throngs
were still surging onto the sidewalks
along the line of march.
Man Dies in Ambulance.
The victim collapsed at Pennsyl-
vanla avenue and Eleventh street
NV. and was dead when he reached
George Washington Hospital in an
ambulance. He was about As and
there were no marks of identifica-
ton about his person, his pockets
containing only few cents in
change. His body was transferred
to the Morgue for an autopsy and
further efforts to establish identity.
A member of the Marine guard
on duty near the Senate Office
Building was among the earlier
casualties. He was carried away on
stretcher after collapsing at his
post.
To guard against other collapses,
the Marines stationed along the
route of the parade exchanged
positions at 1890 am, those who
had occupied the sunny sides of
the streets shifting to the shady
side, and vice versa.
Due to the large number of cases

Star Stan Correspondent.

ABOARD ROYAL PILOT TRAIN
EN- ROUTE TO WASHINGTON,
June 8.-Their majesties, England S
King and Queen, sped toward
Washington this morning through a
land knee-deep in June, with coun-
try folk gathered at every Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland crossroad.
Americas farm and village fami-
lies got up early and came out
through the dew in dressing robes
and bedroom slippers for a fleeting
glimpse of the royal train with its
strange insignia. Stockingless farm
wives with their hair awry, tousle-
headed children with the sleep not
yet washed out of their eyes, over
allied farmers still carrying the pals
from which they had just fed pigs,
factory workers atop roofs, formed
the welcoming groups. Cars with
farm families were parked at the
bottoms of the green lanes leading
to their milk platforms beside the
tracks.
There was no doubt that America
was evaluating the visit of their
majesties as an historic occasion.
that mothers and school teachers
had been talking about it to the
children for days, and that 1t was
considered something one can tell
ones grandchildren about.
Protection Is Extraordinary.
None who gave up an hour or
20 of sleep to see the royal train
got very close to it. The extraor-
dinary protection thrown around
it as soon at it crossed the American
border at Niagara Falls continued
throughout the night and day.
State troopers guarded the tracks
In every village. All night and all
morning patrol cars of the New
York and Pennsylvania State Police
paced the train, dashing at break
neck speed along the roads border
ing the tracks, to break up any
gatherings which might be open
to the slightest suspicion. Even
in the open country nobody got
much closer than 100 yards to the
train and if they tell afterwards
of glimpses of any Of the royal
party through the train windows
the stories probably will be highly
imaginative.
The watchers were silent, waving
thier hands in characteristically
American fashion at the passing
train. The extraordinary precau-

started moving over Delaware ave-

front of the Capitol, it moved back
down Constitution and Pennsylva-
MIA avenues into the southeast gate
Of the White House.
All along the route cheering thou
sands were packed behind police
lines on the sidewalk and jammed
into windows of Government and
business buildings and hotels. Po-
lice unoficially estimated the
crowds at more than 100000.
During the hours preceding the
parade and the comparatively brief
period that it was in progress, first
aid stations all along the line of
march were kept busy providing
treatment for fainting spells and
minor injuries. 1t was estimated
that about $50 persons received
treatment before noon. One of
the victims, an unidentified vender
of baskets, died while being taken to
George Washington Hospital in an
ambulance.

BOB TELLER FL|PS ii RUN SHUTOUT ON HUB FIELD
Cleveland Fireball Finger Just Misses Per-
 feet Game
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

(Umlteu Press Stan correspondent
 New York, May 26-(UP)-With the Yankees killing of interest in the American League pennant race, about the only thrilling contest left in the junior circuit is the struggle for premier pitching laurels.
 Even the Yanks horn in to this too with the great Charles Herbert (Red) Rufing and Monte Pearson, but the people choice is Robert William Andrew Teller, the 20-year old Iowa farm boy who throws them for the Cleveland Indians.
 Teller scored his 7th triumph in spectacular fashion yesterday, nar- rowly missing the hall of fame with a one-hit, no-run game. Only Bobby Doerr's single in the second inning prevented Teller from getting a mo- hitter as the Indians crushed the Red Sox, 11-0, and helped 1engthen the Tanks lead to 5 1-2 games. Ken Keltner hit three home runs for Cleveland.
 Teller famed 10 and walked five and only two Red Sox reached sec- ond base. Bob walked two men in the third inning and then in the fifth two errors permitted another run- ner to get past first. Teller is opera ting close to a strikeout per inning schedule. He has famed 68 men in 71 innings, Tn pitching in nine games Teller has allowed 54 hits, and walked 36. He has lost two games, one to the Tanks in 10 innings and one to Washington last week.
 Rulings record is Superior to Feller's. He has seven victories and no defeats; but Big Red has the Tanks behind him. Luck was with Ruf1ing as he won No. 2 yesterday from Detroit, 5-2. Archie McKain, whose father was buried in Kansas yesterday, had the Tanks beat, 2-1, going into the seventh. With one out, Red Kress booted a double play ball and set up four-run rally. Mo- Kain, relieved by Schoolboy Rowe, allowed only four hits.

O'Hara Plans To Boss
 NarraganSett Again
Battle of Ballots Looms at PaWtuCket-COnnOrS
 Joins O'Hara

Providence, R. l., May 26. - (UP) - Two New England turfmen, both former presidents of lucrative horse race tracks, fought together today to regain control of the track one of them built and lost in Rhode Islands Little Civil War;.
 Walter E. O'Hara, busted head of the $3,000,000 Narragansett Park Track at Pawtucket, said that James H. Connors of Newton, Mass, former president of the Suffolk Downs Track, Boston, had joined him in a battle to oust Judge James E. Dooley from the 'Gansett front office.
 If the battle of proxies promised at the annual meeting June 19 ends victoriously for the new combine, O'Hara said he would become managing director of Narragansett with Connors as president.
 All Set
 O'Hara said his forces had gath cred proxies for more than 100000 of the 350,000 shares of outstanding stock. Dooley forces also have con- tended they have a majority of the stock.
 Dooley reported to stockholders yesterday that the profit for the track for the year ending April 30, before common stock dividends, was $257 ,802.16 as compared with only $213,830 in the previous year.
 The Little Civil, War" which started in the fall of 1887 was high- lighted by then Governor Robert E. Quinn's seizure of the park with National Guard troops to keep OHara from opening a scheduled meet and was climaxed year ago when stockholders busted O'Hara.
