CHARLEY PADDOCK, CLOSE UP,
 AND IN ACTION
tBY DAN THOMAS)

Pasadena. Califp April 2S.-T have not yet reached my prime as a sprinter.' That's why l am con- tdent l can set new worlds record in the 10O-yard dash this year." Charley Paddock, known in ath- letic circles as the worlds fastest human, was author of this state- ment. He had just finished hard days workout on the cinder path at Paddock's field here.
 Better Than Ever Records prove that ] am a bet ter man now than at the start of any other season." declares Sir | Charles. Never before have l been able to negotiate the century in less than 10 seconds at any of the open ing meets of the year. Yet, covered the distance in 3-5 seconds at Stanford a short time ago and it was the first time I had run in competition since 1924"
 When Paddock set his world mark i of 3-5 seconds in the spring of 1921 he was heralded as being at the peak of his career. He had trained daily for several months be- fore accomplishing this feat. How ever, with less than three weeks training, Paddock-now 25 years old was able to equal that perform ance few weeks ago.
 | The Pasadena flash is not the only one who believes he can lower the century mark. Dean Cromwell, tfack coach at the University of | Southern California, taught Charley practically everything he knows about sprinting. And he agrees with his protege.
 should Lower Record
 'If he has patience and perse- verence, Paddock should lower his mark with little difficulty" says ! Cromwell. But it will take a long hard training grind to put him in the proper condition. It requires Charley on edge. That means it will be July OF August before he will be ready to go out after q new record"
 There is only one thing to which Paddock can attribute his success on the cinder path-he has kept In condition at all times. Not all of his work has been on track 10 be sure. But whether on a lecture tour or at home, he believes in keeping lit. Practice on a trapeze, horizontal bars, rings, baseball and a little boxing give him plenty of | exercise.
 Paddock will spend an active sum mcr on the cinders running under the colors of the Los Angeles Ath- letic club. If he trains faithfully as he has promised his coach, Boyd Comst ock, he will do-look for the i l00-yard mark which has stood for many years to be shattered.

MUST MEET GARCIA
 OR BE SUSPENDED
.Kaplan'S Managers Ordered to
 Appear Before Commission

New York, April 2s P)--Louis CKid) Kaplan, featherweight cham pion, must, accept Bobby Garcia of Camp Holabird, Md, as a substitute for Johnny Dundee for title match at the Greensboro stadium in Long Island City, June 1 or face suspen- sion in this stateAthe state athletic commission announced yesterday. Tom McArdle, matchmaker of the Greensboro A. C., complained to the commission that Kaplan had re- fused 10 meet Garcia in place of Dundee, who is nursing an injured leg.
 The Mcridcn Angle
 Denny McMahon and Scotty Mon- tcith, managers of Kaplan. have lccn notified 10 appear before the commission today in an effort to thrash out the matter to some definite settlement.
 1T is expected at that time that tho kaplan-G Garcia bout will be dis posed of, one way or another. It may be brought to Connecticut at the request of State Commissioner Tom Donohue, who believes the bout rightly belongs here. Or it may stap in New York to appease the wrath Of Matchmaker McArdie.
 Worth More Here
 It is the general opinion here abouts that the title match would attract far more turn-stile clickers in Connecticut than it would if New York. With proper steam, the match would go over the top down in the big town but there is every indication that it would be a far greater financial success here in Kaplan's home state.
 Kapan's handlers are consider ing McArdle feelingly for they re- call that last year Rap was sched- uled to fight Red Chapman at the Queensbero for the title but was forced to call the bout off because of an injured hand. McArdle bore the brunt there and may have to bear it again if the match comes up to Connecticut.
 Promoters Battle The commission refused again to interfere in the battle of promoters over the light. heavyweight title match between Paul Berlenbach, the champion. and Jack Delaney, Bridgeport, Conn, challenger. Jess | McMahon, Tex Richards match maker, said he has Berlenbach's s contract while Humbert J. Fugazy Ebbets' field promoter, holds De. 1 laneys contract. Permission was granted to Jess 1 McMahou to select another oppO- rcnt for Harry Grcb who was signed to meet Tiger Flowers. middle weight champion, al Madison Square Garden May 27. Flowers withdrew from the match owing to an injured rye suffered in a fight with Joe Cans at Wilkes Barre, Pa, , April r..
 Rosenberg Under Ban
 The board reported a request | from the Cleveland boxing commis- sion for sanction for a bantam weight title match between Charley | PhiD Rosenberg, champion, and , Chick Suggs, New Bedford Mass, negro challenger. The commission refused to give its sanction on the ground Rosenberg has ignored q i challenge from Bushey Graham and any fighter who meets him before hc faces Graham will be subject to suspension.

COBINA WRIGHT's RECITAL.

Nine. Cobina Wright. who made her
local debut in song recital at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday, has u lovely
voice and has obviously studied
thoroughly how To use 1t. The fact
that she had q heavy cold, which
almost made q poStDonement OF the
recital necessary, only came through
now and then, especially on her high
notes. Some of her notes were beau
tifully heiilike and resonant. Always
her phias.ng ard diction were inn
peccabie.
Nine Wright showed excellent
taste IN song literature with a pro
gram that Contained only beautiful
numbers. That the fire and spon-
tancity characteristic of some of them
may have eluded her carefully polish
ed presentation was no reflection
upon her artistry. but merely mat
ter of temperament. Always she was
the poised society matron singing
graciously and gracefully.
The singer showed dramatic ability
especially in the 'Palo" of De Falla
and La FORCES "tffils'' She sang
Bach. Mozart, Cesti. Debussy, Ravef,
Moret, De Falla, Min. La Forge, Man
ming and Watts, and in every song
the characteristics Of the composer
were inteiligently and definitely set
forth. The encore was ''Depuis le
jour from Louise" Cobina Wright
has very definite sort of person
ality and the auditor at her recital
either is completely charmed with her
or quite the reverse. Somehow, in
spite of her beautifully cultured voice,
sweetness and excellence of singing,
she struck the writer as n Lady
Bountiful courteously dispensing songs
to the multitude. She did not
seem to get beneath the throbbing
realities Of the inspired sopgA. .sha

HOUSE VETS FAIL
TO OBL0CK DRY FUND
$50, COO, 600 Appropriation
for Law Enforcement Au-
thorized, With Amendment.

House vets made little headway yes.
terday in efforts to check enforce
nnent activities by depriving the nro-
hibition unit of it's annual appropria-
ton.
The fight was led by Massachusetts
and New York vets. When 1t died
down the House passed the Treasury
Post Office bill, with it's nearly $780,
100000 for enforcement by the va
rious agencies.
Vets Score One Victory.
The vets scored one victory, how
evera when on a point OF order they
eliminated section that would have
set aside 100000 for undercover
agents. with no provision for an ac-
counting before expenditure. The
point of order was made by Repre-
sentative LaGuardia Of New York on
the grounds that such fund would
be contrary to existing law.
With the passage of this bill, which
appropriates $137.371,000 for the
Treasury and $153, ,483, 900 for the
Post Office, the House had before it
the second supply BILL that for the
Interior Department, totaling $685.
3S6 900, Of which 1922, 2,70S, 900 is for
payment of Civil and Spanish War
pensions. 1t was reported today.
Gallivan Attacks Dry Unit.
The first effort to cripple enforce
ment by the prohibition unit came
from Representative Gallivan of
Massachusetts, who declared the unit
was incapable of enforcing the law.
He offered the amendment to elm
mate the nearly $12,000,0 900 for the
prohibition unit. He was supported
only by the vets in the New York
and Massachusetts delegations.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 11.--Rather

ment on fourth conviction for theft,
County Judge Franklin w. Taylor

'If To be a judge means to be a
moral coward, am ready to resign
from the bench Immediately" he said
in defense of his attitude on the
States so-called Baumes law before

torney Dodd that he return Harry
Simmons, convicted of stealing SIG

pany. to Sing Sing for q life term,

vides life imprisonment for fourth

WIFE OF CHAPLIN
TO RESUME FAITH
Los Angeles Times Says She Will
Have Babies Baptized
as Catholics.
By the Associated Press.


Los ANGELES, December 1.-THE
Times says Lita Grey Chaplin, es-
tranged wife OF Charlie Chaplin, has
announced her intention Of returning
to the Roman Catholic Church, which
faith. she says, she renounced when
she married the film comedian She
would have her two children baptized
by the Catholic Church. so that they.
might enjoy the consolation she
says. she threw away"
She is quoted as follows:
Now that my marriage has turned
out TO ge a failure, l can return to
My church. My mother and my
grandparents were raised and grew
up as devout members of the Roman
Catholic Church.
In my efforts TO promote marital
happiness | consented to stake every
thing and turned my back on my
family's religion. Now l can turn
to the faith of my childhood"
Mrs. Chaplin explained that her
separation from the Catholic Church
occurred at the time Of her marriage
to Chaplin two years ago. The mar
riage could not lie recognized by the
church because Chaplin had been di-
vorced. His first wife was Mildred
Harris. film actress.
Il felt the separation from the
church most keenly at the times just
after my two babies were born. Il
wanted them baptized in order that
they might enjoy the consolation

wishes OF their father. ! never had

'There are those who cry for auto
matte punishment" Judge Taylor
said. "It is my observation, however,
that all fourth offenders are not all
habitual criminals. Many felonies are
comparatively trivial.
Il have sat in John d. Rockafel-
ler's Bible class with reformed crimi-
nails, many of whom | know have
gone straight
"Those persons WHO frantically cry
for reaction and demand the life
sentence for all fourth offenders. re-
gardless of the merits of particular
cases, d!sregarded the fact that some
day they, too, will be asking for
mercy when God is their Judge"
The words 'shall' and must" in
the Ba1mes laws Judge Taylor as
serted, indicate permissive action.

for Mr.. Dodd. argued imposition Of the
life sentence was mandatory and not

MAY EvADE FIGHT.
Most of 80 Involved in Anti
Trust Charges to Plead
NoIo Contendere.
By the Associated Press.

Dy the AssOcldteu fress.
BALTIMORE, December 11.-Pleas
of nolo contendere will be filed in Fed
eral District Court here Monday by a
majority of the 80 fertilizer companies
against which the Government yester-
day instituted antitrust proceedings,
statement issued by counsel for
some of the firms indicates.
The Governments complaint, which
followed a years investigation, names
companies in the South, East and
Middle West which produce approx
mtely IS per cent of the fertilizer man
ufactured in this country.
Representatives of all but two of
the defendant concerns met here and
determined upon q general plan of ac-
ton, after which the formal statement
was issued. Other attorneys empha-
size, however, that it is not to be un-
derstood all the compa MES agreed to
follow this course.
May Stand Trial.
cit is possible that some will decide
to stand trial rather than submit to
the aspers!ons of the Government"
said Harry N. Baetjer, counsel for
some Of the defendants.
The companies are charged with
having carried on their business ''pur-
suant to an understanding and agree
ment to lessen in essential respects
competition among themselves as to
terms and conditions of sale" and
with having agreed upon the use of
certain ports as exclusive basing
points and including freight rates
from said ports in prices"
As a result of the Governments in
vestigation, in which the companies
voluntarily co-operated, said
the statement, 1.-The Department. of
Justice expresses the opinion that
ton of the law
Port Basing Abandoned
Port basing is the only practice
specifically alleged to be illegal This
practice has been found uneconomic
by the companies themselves and has
been voluntarily abandoned.
Since the information charges no
specific and substantial Wrongdoing as
to the past and does not allege a pres
ent continuance of any Illegal prac-
tees, 1t is probable that most of the
defendants will offer to file d plea of
nolO contendere.'
Tbs means. it was explained. that
while not admitting that illegal acts
have been committed as charged, the
will refrain from testing
he question of the illega!uy. This
action" adds the statement, will be
solely due to inexpediency of the in
iustry now embarking upon long
lrawn-out litigation with the Govern !
nent with reference to the legality of !
matters of the past"
