INDIA SELECTS FOUR
| FOR INVASION OF U. S.

The birmingham committee has de-
cided. by a small majority, that the
Indian Polo Association shall be al
lowed to represent Hurlingham, pro-
vided its selected team acquits itself
creditably between now and January
/. 1927. The decision was made on the
grounds that it was impossible to find
team Of players in England that
could compete against the Americans
with any chance Of success. This
scheme, at any rate, gives India a
chance to show what it can do.
"It has always been felt in India
that players who came to England to
be tried have never been given a fair
chance. chiefly, Of course, owing to
the difficulty Of mounting them ade-
quately." says the London Times in
commenting on the matter. "In view
of the continued non-success of Eng
lish teams since the war, the Indian
Polo Association resolved to select two
army teams that should play in the
big open tournaments out there, and
in the event Of the best team meeting
with success. to invite birmingham to
challenge for the cup with the WIN
ming team.
THE A team. consisting Of Capt.
George, Maj. Williams, Mai. Atkinson,
and Capt. Dening. duly won the
Prince of Wales commemoration cup
at Delhi, and the Indian Polo Associ-
alton thereby suggested that this
team. with two reserve players and
Is ponies. should land in England in
the Spring, and that after sufficient
rest it should proceed to America,
Hurlingham providing the other ponies
which would be necessary.
apparently the team has no in
tention Of playing in England. which
will be very disappointing to polo en-
thusiasts. The Indian Polo Associa-
ton further proposed that they should
challenge the American Army first,
and that if they were successful
should then challenge America for the
cup. This later suggestion the COM
mittee, quite rightly. would not agree
to, on the grounds that the challenge
for the international cup has to be
sent by January Of the same year in
which the match is to be played, and
that If the team were defeated by the
American Army, not at all an impos-
sible result, a challenge for the cup
with such team would be absurd.
at Is understood that substantial
support has already been promised in
India, and the birmingham committee
may be relied upon to do their utmost
to see that the Indian team Is ade-
quately mounted, in the event OF the
challenge being sent, and to render
them every assistance"

SCRANTON, Pa. May 21.-Say
what one will about closeness OF the
battle in which Pete Latzo received
the decision and the world welter
weight championship in Scranton
last night, Vet the fact remains that
the former miner is of the stuff which
spells greatness"
He Is no fliVVer--not by Ions
shot. He has fought and beaten all
the best men in his class, now that
Walker has sucCumbed. The list OF
victims includes Dave Shade, against
whom he also has a draw. Think TINS
over when you try to figure whether
Latzo will prove a worthy champion:
He has beaten George Ward, Paul
DOYLE and lots of the best, and only
one man has ever stretched him on
the canvas for the count-Morrle
Schlaiffer. And Morrie will never see
the day when he can do 1t again. =.
It looks as though Mickey took OIL
too much weight too quickly. He
was down to 144 pounds at the
weighingin, while Latzo shaved down
very carefully over a long period.
Latzo Strong at Finish.
AS the writer stated before the
fight, Mickey has been better over
the longer route. Yet all the hnisn
fireworks in the Scranton battle were
supplied by Latzo, who pulled ahead
in the last two rounds. Up to the
ninth Walker led on aggresslvenesS
and seemed to have earned at least
q draw. Save for bad wallop he got
in the seventh he would have looked
like q winner. In the last two rounds
he seemed to lose lot of his feroclty
and the tiger man was Latzo.
rT<f.1 oiv,Ix chn q
over the 15-round route, with Walker
taking the best of care of himself
and eschewing the New York night
clubs. Dancing in the late hours is
not the best way to hold onto q
championship title.
Latzo Learned in Defeat.
1atzo fought Walker in Newark
three years ago and got a beating
about the body that required more
than a year for him to recover from.
Evidently he had learned something
about stopping the ex-champion's
dangerous left hook to the ribs and
stomach for most of the time last
night Mickey either was missing or
found his fist coming in contact with
an elbow.
Latzo never boxed so cleverlv in his
life and as every one knows. Walker
is at his worst against Il skillful op-
ponent. But while Pete showed a
fine brand OF science he also was
there with the wallop and knew just
when to step in and whale away with
rights and lefts. In doing so he took
II punching--which didn't bother him
any--and in return laced Mickey as
he has not been punched since he
fought Harry Greb.

Chevrolet Sales
Make Great Gain

Chevrolet dealers in February de-
livered 32,5O4 cars, the largest num-
ber ever sold in that month in the
history of the company. :
The quota set for the 80 sales
zones of the company was 22,O02
cars, an estimate based on a con
servative examination of the pros
pective February demands. When
the total sales for the month were
tabulated it was found that the in
crease in sales was 1917 per cent
of the quota.
Despite decided increases made in
the quota set for February it was
found the zones had practically all
exceeded their allotments.
In January every sales zone ex-
ceeded it's quota, ranging from 1928
per cent in the Jacksonville zone to
275.4 per cent in the Omaha zone.
The Omaha zone, established only
three months ago. again led the
zones exceeding their February allot-
ments, with a percentage of 1888.
Minneapolis zone was second with
3O4.9 per cent of it's quota, reflecting
the unprecedented growth of the
northwests' diversified industries.
Oklahoma City was third with 1854
per cent of quota, Atlanta fourth,
with 249 per cent and Des Moines

While the original factory pro-
duction for March was set at 54,553

essary to make three additional in
creases in this schedule, bringing the
total number to be built this month
to 1924 cars, not including the 1857
cars to be built in the Chevrolet
Canadian plant at Oshawa.

CHRYSLER FIRM
HAS A new PLAN
TO BEAT THEFT

That there has at last been devised
a system of automobile theft preven-
tion and detection which proves the
basis for the development of an or
ganized attack on automobile thieves
is the belief of w. Sherman Burns, OF
the William J. Burns international de-
tective agency.
The Burns agency has recently COM
pleted an investigation of the influ-
enoe on Chrysler cars of the Fedeo
system of theft prevention, and detec-
tion adopted in July, 1925, and has
found a marked decrease in the num-
Der of cars stolen and an increase IN
the percentage of recoVeries compared
with the previous experience on Chry-
sler cars, says William Eiting, local
dealer. In connection with it's report
Burns says, "Our investigation of the
actual workout of the system on
Chrysler cars during the latter part
of 1925 has confirmed our Judgment
of it's practical value. We are con-
vinced that the Fedco system provides
the basis for the development or an
organized attack on automobile
thieves"
Burns states that this favorable
showing is remarkable when 1T is
considered that the system was new
and comparatively unknown during
the period under survey. Further
more, the nationwide field service
now provided by the Burns organlza-
tion was not then in operation.
"When the full effect of the organ
hApn
developed" continued Burns, "and as
adoption of the system by other manu-
facturers bring general, understand
ing of the operation of the system, II
is believed that the thieves will find
it decidedly unprofitable to steal cars
protected by the system.
Under the system every car owner
receives with his new car instructions
in the use of the system, directing
him, if his car is stolen, to communi-
cate not only with the police and in
surance company but also with the
nearest office of the Burns agency
AS soon as this is done, an alarm is
broadcast to the municipal police de-
partments, state troopers, and federal
operators, as well as to an extensive
list OF 1llllng stations, SdI"SoS anu
service stations. A reward is also Of
fered to bring out further informa-
tion.''
Burns continued, "Our men know
that they have located stolen Chry-
sler if they find a car bearing Fedco
plate with one of the numbers bulle-
tined as stolen; a car bearing a plate
mutilated in an attempt to change the
number; car bearing an imitation of
such a plate, or car from which the
plate has been removed"

PAIGE SHIPMENT
FOR MARCH UP
SOB PER CENT


DETROIT April O.-Instantaneous
success, reflected in immediate guam
tity demand, for the new line of
Paige motor cars is revealed in the
announcement of the PaigeDetroit
Motor car company that Paige ship
ments in March totaled 1900, an in
crease of 267O, or 5O3.8 per cent, as
compared with March, 1925
Although the new paige line was
not announced until February 20,
total of 6274 cars have already been
shipped up to the end of March. This
is 981 more than the number Of
Paiges shipped in the same period Of
1925, or an increase Of 1858 per cent
for the first quarter of the present
year. The new Paige, in two months,
has thus exceeded the total for all
II months of last year.
At the same time, the company has
continued to ship New-Day Jewetts,
which were introduced last December,
in large quantities, total Of 1918 for
the first quarter.
Total shipments Of both Paiges and
Jewetts, heretofore, were 1892 in the
first three months of the year.
According to H. M. Jewett, president,
the company has every expectation
that the demand for both lines will
continue.
eve are, of course" he said, great
ly pleased with the immediate re-
sponse of the public to the new
Paige. When we planned the car,
we did everything we could think of
to fit it into the market for high
grade automobiles, and to enable it
to solve the tnewer problems of the
motorist that have arisen with chang
ed conditions of motoring in the
forward to large sales during the
year, but we are more than gratified
that the motoring public so quickly
recognized the values of the new line.
mot only the motoring public, but
our dealer organization everywhere,
is enthusiastic. This I can tell from
the daily influx of orders. To keep
up with the demand, we have sched-
uled for production in April, $3.50
Paiges, an increase of 2460 over our
March production. This is more than
ten times the number of Paiges built
in April last year.
"At the end of only 70 days from
the date of the announcement of
the new Paige, our production will
therefore, have reached the total of
1884 cars"

Freddie Anderson In
Jail For Burglary

A young man who gives his true
name as Bernie Larsgard and who
is commonly known as Freddie An
derson, was arrested Monday
charged with burglarizing the Ok
ford Billiard Parlors on or about
February 20. When arraigned he
pleaded not guilty and was placed
under bonds of $1,000 which he
was unable to furnish and was re-
turned to Jail. 1t is understood
that the place was entered
through the coal chute in the
basement and that about $50 was
taken from the safe. 1t is said
that the safe was locked and must
have been entered by someone
with a knowledge of the combina-
ton. The evidence against the
defendant is circumstantial start
ing with the fact that he was for
merly employed by Mr.. Turner,
proprietor of the Oxford.
