nicipal court of Judge Clifton R
Cameron.

fine every city speeder 81 a mile for
every mile he's charged with exceed
ing the speed limit.
The speed limit is thirty miles an
hour in the outlying sectors and
twenty miles in the downtown dis
trict.
In addition to the mile fine
the judge declared he would assess
the costs of the case, $40, against
the reckless drivers of the city.
The meter method of Justice was
decided upon today when thirteen
speeders, one travelling sixty-siz
mile an hour at the time of his ar
rest, appeared before Cameron.
Nobody to Get Loose
Angered by the fragrant traffic
violations Cameron declared:
Why the pedestrians haven't q
chance on the city streets. The city
hospital is full of accident victims
Bring in the speeders," he or
dered.
Nobody will be turned loose nc
matter who they are or their excuse
for driving fast and recklessly."
In the past fines for speeding have
ranged from $40 and costs to SOS
and costs in addition to revocation
or suspension of drivers licenses.
Under the judges new ruling a
motoriSt arrested for speeding at
fifty miles an hour will be fined $40
in addition to the $40 and still face
possible suspension or recovation OF
his right to drive.
Approves Judges Order
DR.. G. w. Myers, superintendent
of the city hospital, approved Of
Cameron's fight on speeders as q
means of cutting down the acct
dent toll and number of victims Of
motor cars sent to the city hospital
The summer time is our worst
time for motor car accident pa
TENTS" Or. Myers said.
Twenty eight speeding cases were
on Cameron's docket today. Out Of
thirteen tried this morning ten mo-
florists received fines or were COM
PEELED to pay costs, or both costs
and fines.
Three drivers licenses were sus-
pended for terms ranging from
thirty to sixty days.
Forty-seven persons have died
from motor car injuries in Marion
county this year.
The high death rate, coupled with
the wild driving that has cluttereo
the court docket, caused the judge
to change his mode of fines and
Danish leniency.

The attitude of some of Smiths

justified in refusing to remain in
the game.
1t is known that the charge of I'M

The Hague decIaration constituted
one of the most scathing personal
attacks ever made upon the eve
OF national convention.
An assertion that Roosevelt has
no chance of winning" and that he
could not carry single state east
Of the Mississippi, was calculated
to stir comment among the dele
gates, inject doubt about Roosevelt
among the wavering delegations,
and solidify the opposition against
him.

How They Line Up Now

This would indicate that if the
convention got down to second
choices, Smith would lose 80 votes
to Baker in New Jersey and would
gain 16 from Ritchie in Maryland.
The name of Melvin A. Traylor,
Chicago banker, would be brought in
with the votes of probably half of
the Illinois delegation-29 votes
going to him.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-06-24
Baker Would Gain Strength

Bakers second line strength would
come from the following: From
Roosevelt, go; from Smith, 80; from
White, 81; from Murray, %; from
Byrd, "a. Total, 220
Starting with an initial strength
of 220, Baker would have to draw
$50 votes from the remaining dele
cations in order to attain the nomi-
nation if the two-thirds rule pre-
walls.
Should all of the anti Roosevelt
basic strength of 337 votes be
thrown to Baker, he then would
have 557 or 213 less than the two
thirds.
In such a situation. New York,
Indiana and Illinois would become
the important factors in the possible
nomination of Baker.
If he could win at least so of New
York's ga votes, Indians's 80 and
Illinois So, he then could be NOM
mated, if he could pick up II votes
from such sources at California,
Louisiana or some of the southern
states where he might be looked
upon favorably.
However, without the support of a
large section of New York and IN
diana, and considerable strength in
Illinois, it would appear difficult for
the supporters of Baker to bring
about his nomination.

BAKER IS STRONG
AS SECOND CHOICE

shows that of thirteen state delega-
tons which have made formal or
informal second choices this far,
eleven favor Baker. His second
choice strength at this time is 900
votes.
Maryland finds Alfred E. Smith
its second choice should it give up
hope of nominating its favorite son,
Governor Albert G. Ritchle.
Missouri and Texas favor Roose-
welt as a second choice, although
Texas is pledged to remain with
John N. Garner as long as he has
a chance.
How They Line Up Now
Second choice votes, thus far for

country. These two met in Z
30-minute time limit bout here
two weeks ago. Neither wrestler
secured a fall, but the bout was
filled with excitement. Mullikens'
light heavyweight title will be at
stake in this bout.
The other half of this main
event brings together Wildcat Mil
Ter and Luis Mayo. Miller is known
as the champion of Texas and has
been making good on a tour of the
east. He has been meeting all
comers and is yet to meet defeat.
In Mayo he meets one who is in
clined to be rough, but as a foot
ball player Miller showed that he
can be as rough as the next fellow.
Of special interest on this card
will be a MATCH between Bill
Tackett, local referee and traffic
cop who is making a comeback in
the wrestling profession. He will
meet Whitley Alysworth, known as
Texas roughest boy, so Bill should
be in for an evening full of ex-

SEATTLE GIRL
SWIMMERS SET
RELAY RECORD

LOS ANGELES, April 80. U.P>-
Led by Helene Madison, four girls
from the shores of Lake Washing
ton churned the waters of Olympic
pool yesterday to set new worlds
record for the 400-yard relay race.
The team set mark of 4 min
utes, 1925 seconds, lowered by
two-fifths of second than the
previous record of 4:194.
Miss Madison and Josephine
McKim, of Los Angeles, who
fought to a close finish in the
100-yard free style, staged another
duel yesterday which brought the
spectators to their toes.
They showed off into the last lap
of the relay with Miss Madison
a yard in the lead. Miss McKim
spurted desperately, but a yard is
nothing to give that Seattle girl.
They kept the same positions
to the turn, where Miss McKim lost
yard, and Miss Madison finished
two yards in the lead.
Olive Mexican, Patricia Linton
and Edna McKibben were the other
members of the Seattle team, op-
passed by Miss McKim, Lis Lind
strom of New York and Marjorie
Lowe and Jennie Cramer of Los
Angeles.
Dorothy Poyton, 18-year-old
Pasadena swimmer, furnished a.
surprise by her victory in the
three-foot springboard diving
event, a feature of the women's
national championships.
She defeated Georgia Coleman,
who until yesterday had won every
event she entered since 1929. Miss
Coleman was off form on two
dives, and Miss Poynton, bounc-
ing example of feminine grace, de-
feated her by eight-tenthS of
point. The scores we're:
Miss Poyton, 124.4O; Miss Cole
man, 1850. Betty Bayes placed
third.
Miss Poyton is the youngest in
dividual ever to represent the
United States in the Olympic
games, having made the team in
1928.

Full strength, Central Union
high schools strong track and field
team of nine members during the
last week has undergone siege of
strenuous practice in preparation
for a preliminary Southern Cali
fornia meet to be held at San Di-
ego May Z.
Winners of the first two places
in each event at this gathering will
qualify for the final Southern Cali
!. fornia track and field meet at Los
y Angeles May IA. 1t is the hope and
belief of those who have watched
the progress of the Ell Centre team
during this season that more than
a few of the local entrants will
fight their way to the finals at the
Angel City.
Gillett in the 440, Bennett in the
$50 and Maiden in the broad jump
are being groomed as favorites to
take first places at San Diego, while
Templeton in the $50, King in the
mile and Hartsog in the 440 are
hoping for a second place or bet
ter.
In the Glass c meeting Hal Cass
has good chance of winning first
in the 660-yard run, while Fujizawa
looks good to place in the 120-yard
low hurdles.
Besides the individual events, Ell
Centre will enter the half-mile re-
lay with a determination to win.
They will have strenuous competi-
ton in this event, since the Her
bert Hoover high school of San Di-
ego has a crack relay team.

WALKER TAKES
DECISION FROM
KING LEVINSKY
BY GEORGE KIRSEY
Unietd Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, April 80. Mickey
Walker, enigma of tn heavy
weights despite his physical handi-
caps, today added a 10-round VIC
tory over King Levinsky to his To-
round draw with Jack Sharkey last
July and moved up just behind the
heavyweight divisions Big Three
Schmeling, Sharkey and Schaaf
Although knocked down in the
first round, and outfought in the
two succeeding rounds, Walker,
lighter in weight and shorter in
reach and height, staged a dra-
matte rally to turn apparent defeat
into victory before 1895 persons
who paid s73,89282.
weighing 172 to Levinsky's 1876,
Walker was under a z3-pound
handicap but has a stout heart
which refused to quit in the face
OF heavy handicaps until he wiped
out Levinsky's lead and swept on
to triumph in the last two rounds.
The decision was not unanimous,
the two judges voting for Walker,
and the referee, Ed Purdy, Chicago
hotel detective, giving his vote to
Levinsky.
Kearns announced today that he
planned to keep Walker active in
his campaign to get shot at the
heavyweight title, having signed for
him to meet Johnny Risko in
Cleveland May 10 and Paolino Uz-
cudun at New York, May 26.
In the first two minures of fight
ing last night, Walker ran into a
terrific right to the head which
sent him sprawling on his back. He
came up fighting before the referee
began to count.
Walker apparently was affected
by this blow during the next two
rounds, in which Levinsky repeat
edly rocked him with punches to
the head. Going into the fourth
round, Levinsky looked like a cer-

cago Hebrew made the mistake of
slowing up his pace. Walker held
him even in the fourth round,
and then started rally that won
the next three rounds and evened
the fight.
Walker caught Levinsky with a
short right in a brisk exchange at
close quarters in the seventh, and
dropped the former fish peddler.
Levinsky wasn't hurt and arose
without count. Walker followed
up his advantage and had Levin
sky bleeding from the nose at the
end of the round.
Levinsky rallied briefly in the
eighth round. but Walker, fighting
cleverly and making Levinsky miss
frequently, won the last two
rounds. Walkers left hooks to the

Levinsky and helped to slow him
