SIX DRIVERS
LOSE LICENSES
FOR One YEAR
First Revelations Made on
Convictions of Drunken
Car Operation.

First license revocations under
the new drivers license law were
announced today by Otto C. Fifield,
secretary of state.
Letters were sent to six Indian
apolis citizens Monday notifying
them they are not to drive their
cars, or any other, for a period of
one year. John w. McCord, license
revocation judge, sent the notices.
Those whose licenses were re-
voked are Arthur E. Carr, r. R. 2,
Box 302; Herman Whited, 1910
Harrison street; Harold Sheedy,
R. R. G, Box 1873; Andra j. Fender,
706 North fremont street; Thomas
Simmons, SO West Forty-second
street, and Leo A. Wiley, 854 North
Tuxedo street.
All had been convicted of driv-
ing while intoxicated. The law
makes license revocation for one
year mandatory for drunken mo-
torists, McCord points out. In
other instances, such as reckless
driving and accidents, ten days no.
tice must be served and hearings
held.
Other mandatory revocations pro-
vided under the new law are man
slaughter, resulting from the opera
ton of motor vehicle; perjury or
false affidavit in securing a driv-
er's license; felony involving use
of an automobile; conviction, or
forfeiture of bail, on three reckless
driving charges within twelve
months, and conviction OF failure to
stop after an accident causing death
or injury.
McCord is the only judge furc-
tioning in license revocation cases.
He is stationed at the statehouse.
Fifield announced others will be
appointed to conduct hearings
throughout the state when neces-
sary. At present he will depend for
time on local courts to make rec
onmendation for revocations, he
said.

on "Millionaire's Row" in Atlanta
penitentiary, where, with other
wealthy prisoners, he succeeded in
bribing the warden to extend them
special favors, for which the war
den was in turn convicted and
served a sentence in the institu-

While his case was before the

st. Louis.
The jury returned a verdict OF
guilty against twenty-three of the
twenty-six men involved in the con-
spiracy. Among them were a
state senator, a former collector of
internal revenue, a former circuit
court clerk, a former deputy sheriff
and a member of each of the city
committees of the Democratic and
Republican parties.
The notorious Remus was the
moving spirit in more ways than
one. He devised the plan which
succeeded in getting the whisky
out of the distillery. First, he made
a connection with both the Demo-
cratic and Republican politicians in
st. Louis and obtained an introduc-
tion to the collector of internal reve-
nue..
The collector agreed to change
gaugers at the distillery and to sub
stitute for the old, honest, expe-
rienced man a man suggested by
Remus and his political friends. The
collector did not accept bribe. He
simply did what the politicians told
him to do. His job was dependent
upon their continued good will.
After obtaining the removal of the
old gauger, the conspirators had
the whisky siphoned into a garage
across the street and water was SUBJ

MY old friend George Names tells
IVA me that he's got $4,000 kids
lined up for the boys baseball league
in Gotham this year.
That's about as good news as I've
heard for a long time.
II just goes TO show that the thing
I preached five or six years ago was
practical and needed only q little
work and little effort TO put it over.
I've always maintained that interest
in baseball wasn't dead, and that a
little organization would soon have
thousands of kids back in the game.
Now. that very thing has hap
pened.
And I've got a bunch that every
kid that is playing is better for
being in the game. Believe me, I
know whata life is for kids who have
nothing to do and no where TO play
except on the streets. And. anything
any of us can do to provide real
fun and real pleasure for them is
worthwhile. And If there's any
better game than baseball for kids I
don't know what it Is.
I'm sorry I had to miss the kids

Mental Attitude of College Men
Is Important Point, Says Rocl<ne
Dividing Line Between Right and Wrong in Sports Rests
With Athletes, Claims Knute.

There is a distinction between an
honest job for an athlete and I'M
fair support But just where is the
dividing line?
Personally. I think it is entirely
in the mental attitude OF the young
man involved.
If the young high school athlete
coming to college gets job and
honestly believes he is giving value
received and where he honestly be-
lieves he is not getting something
for nothing, the situation is 0. K.
in every way.
If, however. the athlete is given
some soft Job, where he feels he is
being given something for nothing,
then he is being subsidized. Every
thing is all wrong then. The athlete
will become selfish, lacking in spirit
and will give very little of himself
to any particular team on which he
is playing.
We have made lot of progress
in twenty-five years and there is
going to besa lot more made in the
next twenty-five. Let the talk al
ways be open and above board,
frank and honest and let us elimi-
nate the loose, wild innuendo chat
ter which is generally false and
based on nothing but hearSay.

Club for a series of races for the

officials of the New York club an
nounced Monday that the challenge,
made on behalf of Sir Thomas Lip

cepted with two major reservations.
These we're that the races be con-
tested off Newport instead of Sandy
Hook. as suggested in the challenge,
and that no time allowances be given
the contesting boats.
The latter condition means that
both the challenging and defend
ing craft would be of the same de-
sign and dimensions for the first
time in the history of the America S
Cup In each race the first craft
across the finish line will be the
winner without the computation Of

will be a long time before I have

But the boys had real ballplayer
there TO inspire them anyhow. I
mean Ty Cobb. If I was to talk to
a lot of kids today on baseball, I
don't know of any better example
10 use than this same Ty Cobb.
There was man who was a natural
ballplayer. Everything he did, was
done right. He hadn't a single
weakness. And which is more i'm
portant, he had the old baseball
spirit. Kids could go further and do
q lot worse than take Ty Cobb for
their ideal, believe me.
He played the game hard-and
he played it on the square.
And when kid learns to do that
