Police Puzzled
Over Penalty
For ScoIpers

All was confusion today IN the
WAR between police and the Scalpers
who appeared outside the ball yard
yesterday with tickets for the Red
skins Bears football game
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
ehief of detectives, sent a large de-
tail of plain-clothes men TO the sta
dium yesterday on the suspicion
that there would be some undesir-
sbles in the crowd.
Before the afternoon was over the
detectives had made 10 arrests.
Seven of those taken to jail were
accused of being ticket scalpers, two
of them of betting in public and one
| of being dlSorderly.
The first couple of scalpers were
! charged with vending without a
license and released on s. collateral
But the others were charged with
scalping and held on 500 bail.
The detectives explained that
scalping was a rarity here and said
VI they were not very familiar with
the charge Today they were in the
process of looking up the law on the
subject and charges were being
changed so all the "undesirab bles'
would be accused of the same thing.
But no one was quite sure what that
would be.
