fuse to recognize him The National
Boxing Association will appoint another
middleweight champion, who probably
will be recognized outside of New York.
So there will be complications in the
middleweight division.
All that remains now is for the light
weight champion to decide to enter the
middleweight lists, leaving the New
York State Boxing Commission and the
National Boxing Association to appoint
their rival defending lightweight cham
pions. After that, of course, the feath-
erweight champion should enter the
lightweight division and leave another
vacancy for the rival boxing authori-
ties to fill.
It might work out so that the fly
weight champion would beat the light
weight champion, who beat the middle
weight champion, who in turn beat the
heavyweight champion, so that in the
end the hyweight champion would be
the heavyweight champion of the world.

4 'd1CAGO, July tHJ.-1ne horses
~ will run against electrical timing
at Hawthorne track next month.
An electrical chronometer is being
installed in the stewards stand and
will be given a trial during the Sum-
mer meeting, which starts August 3.
1t is said to be the first of its kind
in this country.
Under the present timing system
the Bahr gate which releases the
racers is set back of the exact start
ing point and a flagman signals the
timer when the leading horse reaches
it. With the electrical timer a push
button will start the device when
the leading horse reaches the true
starting point. 1t is hoped to be
able later to attach the device to the
barrier, which will be set at the true
starting point. enabling The raCe to
be run and timed at the true dis
lance.
The device will record fractional
times. Spectators will know the
speed of the race at every point as
the race is being run.

Chicago, June 8 - (UP) - Off cials of the United States govern ment hunted today for the hoarded wealth of Scarface Al Capone.
 The government spent three years and fortune piecing together evil dence that Capone made at least $1,038.654 between 1924 and 1929. then indicted him last week on a charge of not paying income tax.
 Collecting the proof that he really } had made his millions did not, how ever, end the work connected with the attorney general Mitchell an- nounces intention of putting out of business the biggest gangster of them all."
 United States District Attorney George E. Q. Johnson, who gathered the evidence, said the big jobs re- maining were to convict Capone and find where he had hidden the mill lions it was said he had made.
 Johnson was confident he could get the conviction. One reason the indictment was delayed so long was to make it strong, he said. As for the hidden wealth. it was predicted it would be found scattered in in- vestments from coast to coast. The

Documents Toward That Event Were Presented To-day to the Congrega- ton of Rites

Vatican City. June S.-(UP)- Documents looking toward the be- atification of Pope Plus x, the first step in the process of canonization. were presented to the congregation of rites to-day.
