eTOOTERs AND footing


Tire last legislature passed law pro-
hibitng the hoaking e automobile horns
EXCEPT as . means Of warning traffic.
II vas prompted no doubt by the thought
less individual who drives up to resi-
dencc at any hour Of the day or night,
and summons the inmates by honking
his horn.
such individuals are too lazy and TOO
impolite to leave their cars end summon
their friends in a proper manner. They
have the speed urge and figure it loss
of time to be little considerate of 9th
ers
But this law. ike so many others, IS
just another piled up on our statute
books and has become q bit of nuis-
ance itself. By the very nature of af-
fairs II is bound to be difficult to enforce.
The "tooter" is here one moment and
somewhere else the next. It would re-
quira a policeman in every block to put
a stop to his violations Of the law Con-
sequently the ''tOoteT continues to
'toot" and the law remains on the books
Recently city on the coast produced
an instance where the law was involved
against students celebrating high
school football game. The youngsters
were staging a parade through the bust
Ilt>S ScCblOi Ol IIIc CITY, ana Qu4lc LdIUl-
ally each car kept its horn going. The
police became busy and rounded up a
large number Of the offenders
Immediately there was a storm, and
perhaps a iustifiable one, from the par
ents Of the youths, and it so happened
that one Of the parents is a member of
the legislature which passed the law.
Mine city squabble is going on at present
with the police being condemned for en-
Orcing the law and doing little CON
mining themselves against those who
find fault with their method of proceed
ure.
Common sense should have dictated a
different course Of action bv the police.
No great harm was being done by the
students ana if American youths cant
blow off steam in one way they Will do it
another. Perhaps, when it is viewed in
this light. horn footing does not seem so
terrible after all. Yet some would have
condemned the police had they taken the
more diplomatic course.
Blowing horns At football game af-
ter a score has been made is as natural
to Americans a. standing up in the sew
enth inning OF a baseball game Yet all
who do it are violating the law, an indi-
cation that we don't need more laws as
much as we do need little common sense
and discretion by those who make laws
and those charged with enforcing them

 Buck finally finished with to 2 victory in ten innings and with out no-hit game. Catcher Luebbe of Charlotte banged single in the tenth.
 Greene started the first inning by hitting a batsman in the foot, giv- ing a walk and muffing a throw when he covered first base on a ball hit to the first baseman. That allowed Charlotte two runs, but Buck settled down and went nine innings without issuing hit.
 Macon won when Shortstop Mann homered in the tenth.

TOM FREEMAN NEW CHAMPION
Wins Worlds Welterweight
 Title by Decision . Over Thompson

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 6. = Tommy Freeman of Cleveland, last night won the worlds welterweight championship.
 Referee Patsy Haley awarded Freeman the decision at the end of fifteen round bout over Young Jack Thompson, of Oak land, defending titleholder.
 Referee Haley did not deliberate after the last punch and announced his decision immediately after the bell sounded the end of the last round.
 Thompson was stunned at the decision.
 The crowd gasped, then cheered and gave a tremendous greeting to the new titleholder.
 Thompson floored Freeman for the count of six with two ripping left hooks to the jaw in the second round and had him in distress at the end Of the tenth round when he landed a hard right to the jaw that buckled Freeman to his knees.
 Freeman made a big drive for the crowd beginning in the 18th round and scored effectively with lefts to the face that caused the champion to miss frequently.
 Referee Haley gave Freeman eight rounds and Thompson five, two being even.
 Thompson said he had no kick to offer.
 Freeman shook off a knockdown in the second and at the opening of the third round Freeman was sprawled flat but got up on one knee and stayed six counts, then grabbed Thompson around the waist and hung on.

LOS ANGELES.-Now it's Char ley Paddock, the law student.
 The one-time sensation of the speed paths, his body developed and his pocketbook fattened on fame, is preparing to settle down..
 He is registered in the University of Southern California law school.
 Lecture tours, writing and movie contracts have put considerable money in Paddock's pockets, but they haven't put the facts in his skull which he needs to shape his future.
 Charley doesn't admit he's fin- ished with athletics, but he's walk ing now, with fat tonnes under his arm.
 "I'm going to make a bid for the 1882 Olympic sprint relay teams, '" said the veteran of three interna- tional competitions, but running is only side line now.
 T could have taken up bond salesmanship, but that road turns, too. Popularity in athletics, when spoken of in terms of business, is a tickle thing
 when you're in business pri- marily because of your athletic ability, youngsters who step in to defeat you on the cinder path soon take your place.
 When I was graduated with an arts and science degree was too young to follow my chosen profess sion, so I decided to capitalize on my sprint ability Paddock has no qualms about rubbing elbows, collegiately speak ing, with those who are busily en- gagged in rewriting his old records He knows that they, too, several years hence, must see that sprinting builds no home.
 AS a proof he can point to the few short years that have elapsed since he was the great Charley Paddock"-'the human race horse. ' Now the only worlds record he re- tains is for 300 meters.
