Congress Not To
Change Schedule
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Con-
gress will operate for a long time
without any change in its present
mode of procedure.
This was the general interpretat-
ion today of the effective check
yesterday by House leaders-aided
bv many Democrats-of the Norris
White constitutional amendment de-
signed to abolish the short or
elaine duck session and to change
the dale OF Inauguration and begin
ming of Congress to January.
A majority of the House favored
the change, the vote being 209 to
.157 for it, but this was 80 short Of
the two thirds required for a con
stitutional amendment.
The proposal is dead for this scs-
sion and probably for some time to
come, though its advocates will seek
to revive it. Its defeat also is cX-
Tectcd to affect adversely many
other proposals pending for change
in the present legislative system.
The Senate has approved the pro
posal repeatedly and would again
but the House opposition appeared
firm.

END COMES FOR
One TIME RULER
OF LICHTWEICHTS
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, March 10.-When
"Kid" Lavigne, who died last night
at his Detroit home, ruled the light
weight division with fists of iron,
the boxing business was not what
it is today.
They were real fighters in those
days, the men who made their liv-
ing in the ring, and the "Sanginaw
Kid" was one of the greatest OF
them all.
Lavigne, the only French Cana
dian who ever attained the light
weight championship of the world,
would have whipped the 135 pound
ers of today, nor would the current
crop of welterweights and middle
weights have been safe while he
was around.
The "Saginaw Kid took on all
comers, administering and receiving
terrific punishment in the longer
fights of the COS. His greatest
battle, one of the greatest ever
fought in the American ring, was
with the Negro welterweight Joe
Walcott, the Barbados demon.
That is the fight of which sport
ing men still speak with awe.
The Kid S career was to resemble
that of so many other great fight
ers of his time, however, for a few
more years found him penniless.
Lavigne was Sc years old when he
died.

role of "June Pennington" taken

Frank McIvor as "Jigo," the old
gypsy, gave an excellent character

Exceptional character work was
exhibited by Fred Mastick as
