353,076 Racing Fans
Wager $24,676,424
In 4-Day Period
Hy the Associated Press.


A total of 90,830 turf fans wagered
$6,485 ,058 at six tracks, Jamaica,
Santa Anita, Pimlico, Narragansett,
Hawthorne Park and Churchill
Downs, yesterday with Jamaica once
again leading with 29,259 spectators
and a handle of s2,222,274. This
makes a four-day total of 353,076
fans and total bets of $24,676,424.
New York racing's first war
charity of the 1945 season will be
Memorial Day, when the Metropoli-
tan Jockey Club has the Wood
Memorial for the feature of its holi-
day card at Jamaica. The money
will be turned over to war relief for
the fourth year in row, with the
National War Fund and the Ameri-
can Red Cross the chief beneficiaries
War charity days will also be held
at Belmont, Aqueduct, Empire City
and Saratoga. A year ago the five
associations contributed 81 ,142, ,735 IS
Racing throughout the country has
contributed some s17,O00,0O0 to war
relief since Pearl Harbor.
Those daily-double players who
buy the rack'-hooking up every
possible combination of horses in the
first two races-could have profited
on each of the first three days at
Jamaica. The most it would cost any
day would be S288 with II entries in
each event. The payoffs in the first
three days were S1,001.10, $474.70 and
S29910. Thursday would have
brought loss, however, the double
returning $154.30.
Two veteran jockeys brought in
four winners apiece yesterday. Ed
die Arcaro copped the last four at
Jamaica with Sixty Minutes (s10.80)
IN the fourth, Devil Diver ($4.60) in
the fifth, Professor Lee (S430) in the
sixth and Red Pixie ($490) in the
seventh. George Seabo rode four
winners and second at Narragan-
set.
Devil Diver and Apache, which
finished one-two in the s7500-added
Paumonok handicap, finished in the
same order in the 1914 running of
the feature at Jamaica.
Other winners of feature races
yesterday:
At Pimlico-Alexic, $3.10.
At Narragansett-Va Craft,

At Hawthorne Park-Night Sha-

Clark Will Use Plane!
To Make Withdrawal
From Italy Costly
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Feb. lit. Gen. Mark
w. Clark today warned the people
of Northern Italy that "the full
might of Allied air power is being
turned against supply and COM
munications routes of the enemy
leading out of Northern Italy in
order that any attempt at Ger
man withdrawal may be made as
costly as possible"
This was the first official mention
here of the possibility of German
withdrawal of about q divisions
that have faced the British 9th and
United States 5th Armies.
Your main task will also be to
attack lines of communication, "
Gen. Clark told Patriot forces.
Take all freedom of movement
from the enemy. The efforts of the
Patriots must be co-ordinated with
those of the Allied air forces"
To the people, he said: Keep
away from roads, railways, COM
munications centers, bridges and
also all industrial targets to the
fullest extent possible"
The ground fighting in Italy still
is confined to patrol contact with
the enemy all across the front.
These sorties have indicated that
the German winter defenses of Field
Marshal Albert Kesselring are just
as strong as ever, particularly in the
Apennines south Of Bologna, where
the 5th Army offers the strongest
threat both to the highway lifeline
of the Nazis and the gateway to the
Pc Valley itself.
Enemy reports, noting movement
of Allied reinforcements behind the
9th Army lines, declared any often
sive probably would be held up until
the weather improved.

Mulberry Island. Rescue boats were
sent out by the Navy.
