Fingerprintine

OSKALOOSA, Ia, June 20. W.H-
Oskaloosa is the first town of its
size in the United States to insti-
tute fingerprinting of every man,
woman and child within the towns
corporate limits.
Universal fingerprinting, it was
pointed out by Police Chief How
ard Allgood, has been powerful
deterrent to crime in Germany
where it has been an accepted prac-
tice for more than decade. Grim
inologiSts in the United States long
have urged, he said, the practice
of fingerprinting everybody as one
of the most effective weapons
against crime known to modern
science.
Greatest benefit of the finger
printing, Allgood believes, will ac-
crue to merchants, who annually
are victimized by thousands of
petty swindlers who might easily
be traced through the medium OF
fingerprintS.

Mr.. Mcnamara thought he was

What price arnica?

"lIdG pliSC al iiASos
The groups of men lined up this
morning in front of the drug stores
were not lured there by any i'm
pending sale. They were survivors
of the Kiwanis-Rotary war staged
last night at Wilson field. Such as
could not scramble out for their
arnica lay abed and groaned and
groaned and groaned.
The score? More or less authen-
tic reports give it as Rotary 16
Kiwanis, Is, though many would
hesitate to take oath on it.
There is no doubt that the Ro-
tarians won and if they are as wise
as they should be, they will dis
band their team, clinging to a per-
feet playing percentage, rather
than take any chances with chal-
lenges from the Lions, Elks or the
new and dangerous Twenty-Thir-
tians.
1t is extremely doubtful if the
creaking bones and joints of Bob
Mcnamara, Wilson McEuen, Dick
Hayden, Mike Dowd ct. al. coulo
stand up under another lombard

come, and why try to spoil the per-

The desires for revenge repos-
ing in the manly chests of Mayor
Anderson, Gordon Scrivens, Dave
Roberts, Bill Meagher and their
comrades are to be admired but
these fellows should stop selfishly
thinking of themselves and remem-
ber their duties to their families
Anyhow talk of a rematch or an
other contest with another team
could not raise much enthusiasm
this morning. Trick knees and
back muscles spoke much more elo-
quently and counseled peace and
quiet.
Dick Hayden was today limping
around town as the "horrible ex-
ample" and we'll he might be. For
four innings he pitched good ball
despite the continued nagging of
his centerfield, who kept yelling
for a chance to show how he used
to beat the White Sox His chance
came in the fifth when Dick fig

CANZONER| IN
LINE NOW FOR
ROSS BATTLE

NEW YORK, June %. U.P)-
Three times world champion
three times washed up'-Tony
Canzonet, 1tubby Italian-Ameri-
can from Nfw ORLEANS, Today
stands once more on the threshold
of a world title.
Last night the little battler, who
lost his third title a year ago to
Barney Ross of Chicago, dubbed
down the challenge of Frankie
Klick, the Portola Pippin, and be-
came again the outstanding threat
for the title he once held.
Tony won in the ninth round
when Referee Patsey Haley halted
the fight. Klick was groggy from
the smashing. muIe-kick maulies
of the tough Italian. who seemed
as good as he was the day he
knocked Al Singer, the Bronx
bugler, stiff.
Counted out six years ago when
he lost his featherweight title, sup
posedly washed up when he fought
Singer and won the lightweight til
tie, and again when Johnny Jad-
ick beat him for the Junior welter
crown, the gorilla -chested Tony
came back last night and fought
like champion.
Klick won the first two rounds.
But in the third Tony looped an
overslung right to the jaw which
rocked the Californian on his
heels. and after that kept piling up
a lead In the fifth round he
slugged Klick in the eye and
purple welt rose over it. 1t ives
this lump, oozing blood for fo,t
rounds, that forced Referee Haley
to call the fight in l minute, 40
seconds of the ninth.
Canzoneri now is expected to be
matched with Ross for the light
weight crown. He was fighting in
better form than he has displayed
any time since he lost his title to
the Chicagoan. He drummed Klict
with battering blows, moved fast
and hit accurately. He took the
best Klick had, as he did with
Jackie Berg, Kid Chocolate and
Billy Petrolle, and smashed his
way to a clear victory.
The New York boxing board
agreed to recognize the winner of
the Klick-Canzoneri fight as the
logical opponent for Ross.

So Gambling
Devices Are
Moved Here
New Slot Machines Sent
From Louisville to Aug
ment List.

Fifty-siX slot machines have been
brought into Indianapolis within
the last few weeks to supplement
those already here, The Times
learned today.
These illegal gambling devices,
openly displayed in many city clubs,
are said to have come from Louis
vile, KY, after a municipal clean
up" there.
Not all stayed in indianapolis,
The Times was told, though most
did. Some were distributed to other
towns-all outside Marion county.
These revelations came on the
heels of The Times story yesterday
that gang of three "hijackerS" was
stealing slot machines from clubs
here and that this gang had
obtained more than dozen ma
chimes from three prominent clubs
within the last week.
Today Detective Chief Fred Simon
repeated that there had been no
complaints on these thefts to the
department and stated that he could
not act without such a complaint.
Before we make an assignment
in a case, there must be a COM
plant" Chief Simon declared.
However, we are looking for the
same three men on another charge.
There is no question that the three
are the same men who robbed a
filling station between Greenwood
and Whiteland of four slot machines
the night of July 90 and who earlier
took other machines from an Edin-
burgh tavern. We haze complaints
on these from the sheriff of john
son county
Shortly after noon today, the po-
lice discovered three Bell slot
machines, broken open and looted,
near Pleasant Run boulevard north
of the Prospect plant of the Citi-
zens' Gas Company. A Negro laborer
who aided police take the machines
to headquarters found two nickels
near the machines, two of which
were for this coin and one for Is
cent pieces.
