STANTON, DEL. June 49,
Delaware Park. which has been
losing potential betting daily by
carding steeplechase and hurdle
races for benefit of the jumping
set, found itself attacked on an
other side yesterday as result
of a jumper who refused to break.
An irate group of about 80
fans who had bet on George T.
lWeymouth's Eastcor, stormed
the racing secretary's Office near
the paddock yesterday demand
ing q refund. A few minutes
earlier, Eastoor, whose record
showed two straight victories at
the hunt meetings last fall, stood
flatfooted when Starter George
Palmer dropped the nag for the
2-mile steeplechase.
Assistant starters tried to make
the 5-year-old gelding break but
he wheeled a few times and by
then the rest of the field was a
quarter Of a mile away. Eastcor
was held at 7-to-1 odds. The
race was won by Hurst Park, the
even money favorite.
The bettors. yelling for their

were dispersed by track and
State police and no arrests were
made. Repeatedly, they asked
for a refund at the information
window in the mutuel depart
ment and unexplainedly were
told to go to the racing sec
retary's Office.
Delaware Park, which has
been giving steeplechase horses
an opportunity to run, with Bel
mont Park and Aqueduct UNI
available due to remodeling. has
experienced drastic reduction in
wagering for the various chase
and hurdle events. Play has
been falling of from 80 to 40
per cent in comparison with
other races on the cards as most
fans sit out the jumping races.
Steeplechase racing plus the
oppressive heat wave which has
baked this area since last week
end has reduced betting about
10 per cent below last year.
The track averaged $1,ll7.067
last year. This year wagering Is
running less than q million

Yesterday only 8.5l5 showed
up and betting was a lowly

Martin Praises Bokhtior
At Virginia Alumni Rally
BY DICK STAY

II Ben Martin has his way,
Fullback Jim Bakhtiar will be
All-Amefica at the end of next
fall and the University Of Vir-
ginia football team will help him
achieve 1t by winning more
games.
The somewhat unseasonal SUBJ
ject Of football came up last
night at the Sheraton-Car
Hotel as Coach Martin addressed
the annual meeting of the Vir-
ginia Alumni Club of Washing
ton. He doesn't nave to sell
Bakhtiar to the alumni, nor to
the Washington public. which
remembers the Iron Iranian"
from his Western High. and
Bulls Prep days. But afterward
Martin confided that he couldn't
think Of a superior fullback in
college today.
"Bakhtiar has the ability. If
we get q break with the rest of
the squad and win a couple more
games, he should make 1t tAll-
America. And he deserves it,"
Bakhtiar will weigh about 1893.
for the coming season. Martin
figures. The coaching staff is
concentrating on improving his
maneuverability past the line Of
scrimmage. Everything else is
satisfactory, and he should bet
ter his 865 yards-gained-fr from
scrimmage Of last fall.
Big Jim currently is in his ma
tive Persia attending a family
reunion. He's the eldest son in
Q pack of Is children
Indications are for improve
ment all-around on the Virginia
squad, although Martin hesitates
to predict an actual won-lost
figure better than the ST. record
the Cavaliers awarded their new
coach last season.
They will play a representa-
tive" schedule ("Although I'm
not quite sure what it repre-
sents," Martin kidded); the
squad will have more speed and
less weight owe we're too heavy
last year"l; the entire first
string backfield is returning;
they practiced all of 20 days of
spring practice with contact
work on II days and no serious
injuries, and there is some gen.
uine talent among the new faces.
In quartet of promising new
comers mentioned by Martin was

Miami was truly Conclave Town
last week. when both Phi Delta
Kappa sorors and Phi Beta Sigma
brothers met here. This is the
third or fourth time that the two
organizations have chosen the
same conclave city and SO they
are accustomed to arranging af-
fairs together such as the Phi
Delta Kappa-Phi Beta Sigma for
NAL dance on last Friday night at
Bayfront Auditorium. The setting
was lovely, the music divine. Pri-
or to that affair, Zeta Phi Beta
sorors, the women's counterpart
of Phi Beta Sigma arranged a
Bait your date party at the 535
club following the public meet
ing of the fraternity. 1t was our
first experience with such and we
really enjoyed meeting 60 many
visitors and finding so many old
acquaintance.
The famous Orchid Ball of Phi
Beta Sigma, held also at Bay
front was semi-cloSed affair
and Sigma men themselves made
it memorable.
The following comments will
concern both groups meetings
here
One of the most delightful Phi
Beta Sigma-Zeta Phi Beta fami-
lies were the Paul Loves (Ethel)
and their 16-year-old daughter
Ann Otelia of the jamie Porter
Barnett School. Ann was attend
ing her first conclave and was
excited and agog wondering if she
would find date!
Another family was that of the
Joseph Bichers and 2-year-old
son. Their baby sitting problems
were taken care of by Gladys
Solomon, truly noble deed.
President c. v. Troup of Fort
Valley and his very attractive
wife. Kotie, are the parents OF
three sons and of a grandchild.
Had the oldest son with them.
