BOXING DECISION
 BY SUPREME COURT
Joe Dundee Protests Against Referees "No Fight Verdict

Washington, April UP)-The August and black robbed Supreme Court of the United States has been called on to arbitrate a champion ship boxing match.
 The dignified justices, however. probably will be able to decide the case without ruling on the differ cnce between an uppercut and the affectionatc embraces which some fighters are alleged to use in the ring now-although this question IS involved in the suit at issue.
 The case is that of one Samuel 1.azzara, who 1t is disclosed, is none other than Joe Dundee, the welter- weight champion. Lazzara is seek ing s1o,0oo. the purse for a fight with "Pinky" Mitchell, in Mil"au- kee in August. 1927.
 The state boxing authorities stopped the ten-round bout, staged before the national Eagles conven- ton. in the sixth round. charging that the fighters were taking It .asy. In fact, the referee ruled that it was no fight" and relieved the Eagles of the obligation to pay the purse.
 Dundee went into federal court seeking an injunction to compel the state boxing com mission to pay the money deposited with it by the Eagles. Two lower courts upheld the commission on points of law. and his lawyers brought this appeal for d review. IT a review Is granted by the supreme court when it takes up his petition following their re- convcning April s. the merits of the case will be argued before the

 The supreme court judges in the past have betrayed interest in sports and amusements involved in vari- ous casea notably a New York "anti-scalping" theater ticket law which was held invalid because of its price-fixing feature. The justices at times have followed baseball games with interest. although they rarely attend. Several of them play golf.
 Another interesting sporting case now pending on appeal involves the future of the new sport of dog racing in Louisiana. The operators of the New Orleans dog track. the Louisiana Greyhound club have ap- pcaled from lower court decisions which upheld the validity of a 1928 state law which has the effect of forbidding their operations. The act forbids racetracks of less than one mile in an area near the city.

| ment to be made today, it was said

THREE KNOWN DEAD
IN MIDWEST STORM
Snow, Rain, SIeet, Hail and
Wind Sweep Wide Area.
Losses Heavy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The Middle West
today was checking its loss from yester-
days storm. which took at least three
lives. Snow, rain, sleet, hail and wind
combined to do damage over wide
area, extending from Southwestern
Missouri to Southeastern Michigan.
Two men were killed near Battle
Creek, Mich, last night in an automo-
bile crash attributed to poor visibility
because of the storm. A man was killed
in Chicago when he fell on the slippery
pavement. Two other deaths were con-
sidered possible, a workman at Indiana
Harbor, Ind, reporting he had seen an
airplane containing two men plunge into
the lake. A search revealed no trace Of
the plane.
Pray to Avert Frost.
Fruit farmers in Southern Illinois and
the Ozark belt were reported to be heavy
sufferers. Although the snow acted as
blanket against frost, its weight broke
down many trees. Farmers in numerous
places in Missouri held prayer meetings
when further frost was forecast.
Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff and
other southeast Missouri communities
were completely isolated for several
hours when wind and hail snapped
communication lines and disrupted rail
service. A high wind at st. Louis caused
considerable property damage.
Snow f1urrieS were seen in Chicago,
but most Of the damage here was caused
by Lake Michigan, which again swept
over the breakwaters and flooded South
Side streets and Easements. Numerous
accidents were caused by the flooded
streets.
Snow Blocks Highways.
Snow four inches deep covered most
of southern Michigan, where many
highways were blocked. Detroit felt the
storms fury, when two creeks over
flowed and flooded the east side of the
city, which was recovering from a flood
two weeks ago. A Summer resort colony
on the Canadian side of Lake st. Clair
was damaged when the high wind blew
the lake waters over the shoreline. food
ing approximately 20 cottages. Several
| cottages collapsed.
Air mail and passenger plane service
from here to the East was Cancelled.
