LONDON, Feb. ga jury has
failed to reach a verdict in the
month-long trial of five men &C
cused of plotting the biggest
swindle since the 1874 Derby in
British racing-the lease Of the
2 o'clock race at Bath" last July
Is.
The defendants in the case.
the big betting fix that failed,
yesterday were granted bail and
ordered to stand retrial.
During the 16-day trial, the
prosecution described the bizarre
case involving the horse Fran
casal and a ringer named Santa
Amaro thusly:
"A cunning, clever and well
organized conspiracy which saw
ours of some of the more classic
stories connected with the turf"
The Francesca - or Santa
Amaro-story began when a
horse entered at Bath as Fran
casal won and paid at odds Of
10 to /. The prosecution charged
the winner was not Francesca
but a ringer, Santa Amaro, who
looked enough like Francesca to
be a twin. ....-
Both horses had been shipped
from France shortly before the
race. Both were 2-year-olds,
both dark bays and both the
same height. There was one big
difference. FrancaSal's record
indicated that running was the
thing he liked least to do. Santa
Amaro, on the other hand, was
a pretty fair horse.
Shortly before the race some
one cut the telephone cable
which linked the Bath course
with the bookies' Offices all over
England.

Marciano's MANAGER
Pressed for Answer
On March Title Bout

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Mana-
ger AL Wells health will deter
mine whether Heavyweight
Champion Rocky Marciano has
one or two title fights by sum-
mer.
If WE'LL. convalescing from an
operation. feels that he can get
to work soon. Marciano will sign
for a March 10 or 26 title defense
against Dan Bucceroni of Phila-
delphia. If the rotund manager
feels he needs more time. the
heavyweight champion will wait
until June for Ezzard Charles.
International Boxing Club Of
f1cials pressed WE'LL for an an
swer today. Truman Gibson and
Harry Markson of the IBC met
WE'LL at the managers Office last
night and scheduled further
conferences this afternoon.
Set to Arrange Details.
The IBC officials want to get
going Immediately if WE'LL
agrees to the Bucceroni fight.
They have to iron out details
for a NATIONWIDE telecast and
broadcast and six weeks prep
aration isn't much for a heavy
weight title fight.
If the match is made and Mar
ciano wins he would then take
on Charles. the former cham
pion. outdoors in June. If the
Bucceroni match is not made.
Danny will be by-passed for the
Charles fight in June.
Rocky already has reeled of
many a mile in roadwork at the
Grossinger Country Club where
he usually trains for his big
fights. He's ready to start box
ing at a minutes notice.
WE'LL Taking 1t Easy.
WE'LL won't permit Rocky to
fight unless he is around to SUI
pervise the champions train
ing activity and healthy enough
to work in Marciano's corner on
fight night. Since his operation
several weeks ago WE'LL has been
taking things easy.
Meanwhile, Tom Tannas, CO.
manager of Charles. visited the
IBC to map his fighters plans.
IF Marciano fights Bucce-
roni," Tannas said. then we'll
line up another fight for Charles.
He looked sensational in knock
ing out Bob Satterfield in two
rounds and we want to keep
him primed. However, If Mar
ciano doesn't fight until June
then we'll probably do the same
thing"

Cards Learn Beer
Has Been Illegal at
Park Since 1888
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3.-What's a
ball game without beer? Cardinal
fans might find out this season
unless the Board of Aldermen
vote special permission for sale
of the beverage at Busch
Stadium.
The city discovered yesterday
that beer sales at the ball park,
the outdoor Municipal Opera
and the Arena have been illegal
since 1888.
An associate city counselor
ruled the city's liquor ordinance
restricts 80 beer sales to one
room establishments visible from
the street. A special exemption
from the aldermen is necessary
to sell beer any place else, he
said. but the aldermen never
have voted an exemption for the
three sites.
Beer sales are important to
the Cards. The team and the
stadium are owned by the
AnheuSer-Busch Brewery.

Giants Reported
Trying TO Land
RedIeg Pitcher
Club Gives Bonus
To Loyolo InfieIder
After 6-Mon Deal
picture on Page C-3.)


The New York Giants, be-
rated in recent seasons by their
fans and foes alike for failing to
come up with new faces. have
added five new players in 48
hours and today were repeatedly
in the market for still more.
The latest addition to the polo
grounds contingent is Third
Baseman Joe Amalfitano. a 20
year-old bonus rookie from 10y
ola University of Los Angeles.
Dutch Reuther. West Coast
scout for the Giants. said the
bonus contract was the first he
had recommended in 10 years of
scouting.
Amalf1tano, 5-foot-11, 175-
pound son of a San Pedro fish
erman, was signed late yeSter-
day. just a day after the Giants
completed their biggest deal in
three years - sending Bobby
Thomson and Sam Calderone to
Milwaukee for Pitchers Don
Liddle and Johnny Antonelli,
Catcher E5ba st. Clair and In
fielder Billy Klaus.
Another Deal Predicted.
One source, who predicted the
Thomson trade. suggested the
Giants were actively in the
market for a right-handed
pitcher and were eying the Gin
cinnati staff. Another informant
claimed the club has talked
business recently with at least
three other National League
teams besides Milwaukee and
that there are definite possibili-
ties of at least one more deal for
pitching and catching strength.
The Giants meanwhile signed
Hank Thompson. who probably
will be their third baSeman. He
got raise to $4,000. up about
$1,000.
Other clubs were cleaning up
their contract problems. Catcher
Del Rice. a stubborn man around
contract time, ended his brief
dispute with the Cardinals. while
Third Baseman Ray Boone came
to terms with the Tigers.
Vic Power. Negro outfield star
obtained by the Athletics in their
1l-player deal with the Yankees.
sent in his signed contract.
Power hit .349 for Kansas City.
The Braves signed Phil Paine,
who is expected to take over
Liddle's relief duties. Paine has
been in the Army since earning
a 20 record in 1851.
Palica, Wade Sign.
Pitcher Duane Pillette, who
had a 7-13 record last year, be-
came the 10th man in the ORR
oles' fold, while the Dodgers
signed Pitchers Erv Palica and
Ben Wade. Palica had no rec
ord in four games after returning
from the service last summer and
Wade had a Us mark as a relief
pitcher.
Bob Rush, a Ola disappoint-
ment after a 1913 season in
1852. became the 31st member of
the Cubs to sign.
mfielder Grady Hatton filed
his ninth contract with the Red
legs at the same time his 23-
year-old cousin. Gene Hatton,
second baseman, sent his papers
to the club. The Redlegs also
signed Pitcher Herman Web
meier and Third Baseman Rocky
Krsnich, obtained from the
White Sox last December.
Others coming to terms includ-
ed: Pirates, First Basemah Dale
Long. Pitcher Bob Schultz, Out
fielder Dick Hall; Tigers, Pitch

Virginia Amendment
Fate in Doubt After
Surprise Opposition

RICHMOND, Nov. Sur
prisingly widespread opposition
to what had been regarded as a
routine constitutional amend
ment left the fate of the pro-
posal uncertain today.
With 399 of the States 1910
precincts yet to be heard from,
proponents of the amendment
held a slim margin; 1882 to
1861.
The amendment would allow
county boards of supervisors to
borrow school construction
money, without a local refer
endum, from the trust fund OF
the States Supplemental Retire
ment System as is now done
from the Literary Fund.
Many precinct officials ap-
parently closed shop last night
without tabulating the amends
ment vote, especially in the 9th
district where there was an ex-
tremely close House race.
Strangely enough, the amend
ment drew some of its strongest
support from urban voters who
would not be directly affected.
Many cities already are per-
mitted to do what the amend
ment would enable the counties
to do.
There had been no apparent
organized opposition to the
amendment. 1t had received
the Endorsement of the State
Board of Education.
