Continue Probe Os Gambling In Hockey League I Lansing, Mich., March 10 —(UP) i —An investigation which “may [ take several months” was continuing today in the case of Don Gallinger, Boston Bruins hockey play-! er indefinitely suspended on charges of having communication! with a Detroit gambler. Gallinger, 22-year-old veteran of five seasons in the National Hockey league, has appealed his suspension. At the same time, it was indicated that the case of Billy Taylor, New York Ranger player expelled from hockey for life for placing a losing SSOO bet on a hockey game, was a closed matter.

In announcing the suspensions yesterday, Campbell said: “We have evidence that Taylor communicated with James Tamer, I a Detroit gambler, in placing a SSOO bet on the outcome of a game played Feb. 18 between the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks at Chicago.” Campbell said that Tamer had first contacted Gallinger at Chicago and was advised by him that , the Boston team probably would [ lose the game because several players were injured and because the Blackhawks were in a winning ; streak. Tamer then allegedly called Taylor and persuaded him to ;

Masaryk landed on concrete paving in the courtyard about 45 feet below the window from , which he jumped. A close friend of Masaryk sain he appeared to have died instantly when he leaped from the window. but some time elapsed before the body -was found in the courtyard of the Loreta Square palace. Some hours after the suicide, the government issued a formal statement which said Masaryk evidently decided in a moment of nervous breakdown to end his life. The statement mentioned illness and insomnia, but did not elaborate on the reference. Masaryk, the official statement said, showed no evidence of mental depression yesterday and last night, on the contrary evincing his “usual optimism.” A member of his family, however, said he had been desperately depressed since the communists seized power two weeks ago i and named him to carry on as foreign minister. When parliament convened a few hours after the suicide, a red aud white wreath lay at Masaryk’s seat on the ministers’ bench. Nosek, formally announcing the death of the minister, said; “We feel his loss deeply, and we will keep him in honorable and eternal memory. A great man has gone away.” A meeting commemorating the first anniversary of the PolishCzech alliance, scheduled for tonight, was cancelled. Masaryk was to have been the chief speaker.
