Tips Shrink With Prices;
Walters Are Called Out

MAX HAMMER, who runs a
restaurant seating forty
persons at 245 East Fourteenth
street, applied yesterday to the
Supreme Court for an injunction
restraining Walters Union, Local
No. 1, from picketing his place.
He says he reduced food prices
recently, and, checks being
smaller, tips also shrank until
one day one of the three union
walters he employed insulted a
customer because of the small
tip he left.
Max discharged this one
waiter, whereupon, he alleges,
the union called out the two
others and union cook. Mrs.
Hammer turned cook, their four
children act as walters and thus
the family has kept the business
going, but the picketing still in
terferes sadly, Max recites.
Justice O'Malley granted an
order for Jacob Baum, treasurer
of the union, to show cause why
an injunction should not be
granted.

Paddock Trains Like Thoroughbred

PASADENA. Cal.-Charlie Paddock,
the California fiier, is being train
ed for the A A. u. National Cham
pionship sprint races with as
much care as a thoroughbred is
given in preparation for the Ken
lucky Derby.
His coach, Dean Cromwell, believes
Paddock will startle the world with
more records July 4, in the meet
here.
Paddock's start is notably poor.
Also he runs better when in the lead
than behind.
To speed up his starting and at
the same time make him better
man while behind, a unique system
has been invoked
Paddock is placed at scratch
Cromwelrs second best man, Jimmy
Leahy, is placed on the 5-yard mark.
Bill Isenhour. captain Of the 1929
track team. is stationed at the 10
yard mark, and George Schiller,
Olympic Game quarter-miler. is
placed on the 15-yard mark.
They start together at the crack
OF the gun.
Paddock rs expected TO pass tho
first man at the 40-yard mark. the
second at the s0-yard line and to tie
the third man at the finish.
How good the system works win
not be known until arter the A A u.
Championship races.
Right now Paddock is in better
racing form than he has ever been
in his life
He is the picture Of vibrating vi
tality
Il don't believe the 1O0-yard rec
ord will be broken this year or for
years to come" says Paddock.
''The present mark or 3-5 sec
onds, which 1 have already tied,
seems to be the limit Of human
speed.
I'm going to try 70 do it every
time / run. though, and see IL 1t can
be done"
