Outsider Wins Newmarket Race Man's Pal 100 to 1 Second and Favorite, Finalist, in Third Place. Continued from Page One. Joiced when the favorites failed to come through as expected. Odds Suddenly Veered. Last night both Pegasus and Law Court were quoted at 10 to 1, but shortly before the race today the odds veered suddenly and Finalist, given 18 to 1 chance yesterday, beca strong favorite at 6 to 1.

Lady celli's gelding showed the shift in confidence was justified, but could not catch the hard-working Commander III. The winner is a bay horse by McKinley out of Comerita. His trainer, A. B. Briscoe, said on Monday the horse was favorably handicapped and had "a good sporting chance." but experts did not take (Commander very seriously.

With Apprentice Jockey T. Hawcroft in the saddle, Commander III won rather easily in 1 minute and 52 seconds flat. He not only beat Mrs. Sainsbury's Man's and Ralli's Finalist, but went home in front of such famous horses as Wychwood Abbot, Law Court, Pegasus -which ruled favorite until yesterday -Negundo and British Quota. It was the 96th running of the classic Cambridgeshire.

On the result depended some $6,000,000 in sweepstake prizes. Wychwood Abbot, as last year's winner, was top weight in the field with 133 pounds while Man's Pal got in with the "feather" of 91 pounds, Commander III carried 109 pounds, Large Crowd Sees A large crowd was on hand as the big feld lined up at the starting gate. Commander III and Lord Portal's The Blue Boy, at. opposite ends of the line, were prominent in the early stages of the race with Boethius, Finalist, Law Court, and Man's Pal also close up. The Blue -Boy faded out later but Commander Ill maintained his lead and won rather easily in a minute, 52 seconds.

There was a great struggle for second and third places with Man's Pal and Finalist placed ahead of Wychwood Abbot, Law Court, Pegasus, Boethins and the rest of the Record Betting. Betting on the race was the heaviest in living memory, while the field of 40 was the largest since 1874. Commander III is a French-bred horse. His owner, G. R.

C. Foster, is joint master of the Cambridgeshire foxhounds, and a comparative newcomer to the turf. The trainer, Basil Briscoe, was educated at Eton and Oxford. Both the winner and the ner-up, Man's Pal, were ridden by teen-age apprentices. Haw.

croft's victory is regarded as all -the more notable because Commander I drew bad place at the far side of the course. Wychwood Abbot tried very hard to repeat last year's performance. though most heavily handicapped at 133 pounds. The winner, runner-up last year, was favorably handicapped, but found few backers. Bookmakers actually admit they have won large sums of money on the race- rarest admission for them to make, SASKASALI MINERAL SALTS SASKASA7 Ships Will Stay In Mediterranean Sound Out League Members on Peace Offer to Mussolini.

Continued from Page On.e' anything being brought to the notice of the League 'council or any communication being exchanged with Italy. Anthony Eden, Minister for League Nations Affairs, departed Geneva at 2 p.m to take up application' economic sanctions against Italy. Informed sources summarized the developments since last week as follows: Following Italian peace proposals which both the French and British considered unacceptable, Premier Laval of France urged diseussions by experts to try to And a plan which would be acceptable. Accordingly, Maurice -Peterson. head of the Ethiopian Department of the British Foreign Office, went to Paris and talked with French ex perts.

They agreed that Il proposals were impracticable. Counter Proposals. However, according to this mary, the French thought Mussolini should be given some sort of answer, probably in the of counter proposals. For this reason, the experts tried to And an acceptable basis for reply, but failed because the British adopted the firm attitude that nothing should be which was not wholly acceptable to the League of Nations and to Ethiopia. Consequently, Sir Samuel decided to go to Geneva to discuss the situation with Premier Laval and delegates, and to exchange views and try to work out a basis for settlement so that something concrete could be advanced to Mussolini.

Meanwhile, it was stated, no reply returned to Italy to the proposals submitted by Italy to Laval, and there has not yet been any agreement on anything to put before the League Council. Britain Stands Firm. Broadly speaking, the indications were that the British are standing Arm in their contention that peace must be arrived at wholly within the covenant, while the French, apparently, are willing to go part way to meet Il Duce's demands. Informed sources said they believed Sir Samuel's trip to Geneva was to a British desire to make sure that other League members remain solid in the support of the covenant. These sources insisted that there was no thought of Sir Samuel meeting the Italian delegates or of exchanges on the subject with Italy and France.

The French naval experts, Jean Decouz and Commandant Emmanuel de Leuze, arrived here for preliminary talks before the naval conference. It was under. stood they will also discuss details arising from the recent exchange of views to Franco-British mutual assistance in the Mediter. France and Peace, PARIS. Oct.

30. (P) Circles close to the French Foreign Office said today Premier Laval "gave Premier Mussolini of Italy to understand" that peace terms must come from Il Duce and must be submitted to the League of Nations at Geneva. Laval, Ambassador in Vittorio with Italian Cerruti, reported to have told him Mussolini's terms for settlement of the Ethiopian war "might be if he made certain sions. Informed sources sald Duce was given to understand that if he submitted modified demands along "certain lines" to the league's committee of five, they could then be discuss. ed at Geneva.

The "certain lines" were Interpreted as being Italy's acceptance of a sort of "lease" on the outlying territories In Ethiopia, leaving the elties of Aksum and Harar and the interior highlands under the sovereignty of Emperor Halle Selassie. It was stated, however, that the French view is the initiative must come from Mussolini. Laval was quoted telling Cerrutt Mussolini's demands thus far were not possible, but as adding that certain proposals which Duce had outlined "might be possible." France and Britain. The French were said to recognize that Britain is unable to agree to any proposals to Italy -because her stand is that any negotiations must be within the League. France and Britain were reported to have agreed, however, that they will avoid working at cross poses at Geneva, when and if the Italian proposals are submitted.

French circles said the BritIsh Foreign Secretary, Sir Samwel Hoare, might suggest at Geneva that the date for application of sanctions against Italy be fixed as Nov. 15. The conversation between Laval and Cerruti, Mussolini and British Ambassador Sir Eric Drummond, was held in secret in conformance with the recent French policy. Authoritative sources continued to French and British experts are still studying proposals acceptable to the League of Nations, Ethiopia and Italy, These proposals, the same sources said, suggested there might be an agreement or a distinction between Ethiopia proper (where the Amharle language is spoken) and the regions conquered by Emperor Menelik. Outlet to Sea.

The necessity of Ethiopia's having an outlet to the sea also figured in the considerations, it. was said. Think Several Robberies Cleared Up by Arrest BROCKVILLE, Oct. 30. -Magistrate G.

The question of allocation of separate school taxation was not on today's agenda and, indeed, the committee may not make mendation in the matter, feeling that its powers are too general to make definite submission on question which should call for Government responsibility.
