This is approximately one-tenth
of the buildings in the 36-acre area
where the City Health Department
has estimated that 100000 rats
lived and thrived before the inaug-
uration of the present campaign.
James v. Mcmillan, indianapolis
exterminator in charge of the cam
paign, believes that the work will be
completed in about five or six weeks.
No exact record of the number Of
rodents killed by the gas, which is
death to rats but harmless to
humans, can be kept because most
Of the rats die in their holes before
they can reach the open air.
Hereafter the tails Of those who
escape their hiding places only to
die outside will be cut off and count
ed so that the Health Department
NAV have some idea Of the success
of the campaign. In some places,
rats have been scooped up by the
Shovelful.
The Indianapolis determination
project is being watched closely by
officials and engineers of the COM
pany in charge of the wrecking
work so that if the fumigation is
successful it may be employed in
other similar projects throughout
the country,

1903 RESIDENTS
DOOMED TO DIE
IN'35 MISHAPS
Estimate Is Based Upon
Traffic Fatalities for
This Year.

One hundred and eight Of you
people Of indianapolis will be killed
in 1885 traffic within the city limits
1t will run like this:
Nine will be killed in January;
eight in February; seven in March;
nine in April; Is in May; 10 in
June; six in July; six in August;
eight in September; IL in October;
six in November; II in December.
That is the record for 1884 and
according to police records Of past
years, there is I'd reason to believe
it viii be materially changed fOl
next year. This years record was
from police files as of Dec. %.
Of those killed this year, 40 are
pedestrians, II were passengers IN
auto collisions, one was in an auto
hit by a train, four were involved in
auto and street car collisions, nine
were in autos that collided with
fixed objects, nine were in autos
that had no collisions, 10 were
killed by trains, four by street cars
and three were killed by vehicles
not motorized.
Also reported to police during the
year, Dec. 26, were "a deaths in
non-traffic accidents, with 934 per-
sons injured. There we're 2186 per-
sons injured in traffic accidents
within the city limits, the police
reports show. A total Of 1890 traf-
fic accidents we're reported to police
and investigated by them.
The greatest number of accidents
occurred in November. That num-
Der was 432. The smallest number
292, was recorded in FebrOs-Ty.
In 1888, there were only SO traffic
fatalities, but there were 248O in
iured in 1910 accidents.
In conjunction with this, the po-
lice reported that, as of Dec. 20
there were 40 arrests for drunken
driving, whereas in 1888 there were
4S1 similar arrests and in 1882 there
were 459 such arrests.
The greatest number of such ar
rests occurred in September when
there were AZ, the fewest in June
when there were 81.

REAL CONFIDENCE
 ASSET OF CARNERA
 AS FIGHT LOOMS
Condition of Champion and Defensive Ability Ex.
 pected to Beat Baer

pOmpto1 Lakes, x. J.. June 1. Whatever opinions others may hold as to the outcome of tho Primo Camera. Max Baer title bat- tie at tine Garden Bowl or Jan0 14 there Is one L1aD who has an amazing confidence that Camera will win and that man is carnera himself.
 The Italian champion Is not boastfuI; he wouldn't even tell you that ne expects to defeat Baer un. less you asked him and even then ho would not say much about the fight All his replies are marked by G. modest reserve. If you press him for C reason for this conf. dcnce of victory and for this faith jn himself ne is inclined not to answer.
 But those in camp with him now and who were with him year ago when he fought gharkey have no. ticcd the difference ID Primo's att. tude.
 Genuine
 His confidence of winning is not an oVefscOnudence, there is an element Of determination connect. cd with It. Camera knows jUst how much bc has improved as q boxer and be also knows that his physical condition has never been better. Combine these two and Cafnera will prove very difficult man f0r even G Baer to whip.
 Baer doesn't worry Camera any more than Sharkey worried him and the former champion never worried the Big Boy.
 The one noticeable change iD bIs preSent training methods Is that Primo himself 1S having much Co say about his training methods, Of course, nc is advised by Billy De. Foo and his great confidence tn what Billy tells him. But there Is no breaking of training rules.
 Camera aJ1 alone Is determined to De in the best possible coDdi. ton when nc goes into the ring with Bnor. From the way he is now woI King he wifi De ab1e to 20 fifty rounds instead Of the Fe- quirod fifteen.
 Satisfied
 At present he has only three sparfinR partners but he has eoB- Gdence in them aBd they give hin just the ring work bc needs.
 Camera has spent much time In his defer siVG work. Baer will have q hard time iH landing any e0ec. tive blow upon the champion and should he do 50 the Italians con. diti0B ts such that ne iB hard to hurt. It should be a great battle,

Champ Of Champs

Champ Of Champs
 Jack Dempsey was some shakes as a ring champion, and Babe Ruth was king of the circuit c10ut-. CTS for years. But such champions aB those two gents were, they take q back seat when Frank Wards name B mentioned.
 If you don't go in for the great old squash tennis sport, you pr0b- ably don't know Frank. But this big, black -haired 1rishman has been squash king for nine years iD "a row. That, brothers, is holding 0ne's seat!
 Now nearing 90, the king Of squash tennis grew up near Cedar hurst, l.. 1. 10 his early youth ne gave up baseball, marbles, fishing, and hunting as soon as he caughs hold Of q squash racquet---and that explains why nc is the sultan Of the squash.
 Taught by tlic King
 Ward owes ali he knows about the game that came over from England to Walter KinBeiia. The former world open squash tennis champion played an exhibition tilt one day at q club where Ward was serving cs professional. In the ex- KinseIIa recognized ln the tail youngstcr q coming champion.
 When Kinsclla retired aS undc. then with the New York city Ath. i1,tln fut,i. ut (nts hl0 ataAaa as king, winning the open crown. No one hns been able to Knock him off the throne since.
 There has been a remarkable ir. crease in the popularity of this game in the last few years. It has mushro0med up something or the order of table tennis. There are two varieties. one is squash rae. qUcts, of English origin, and the other is. squash tcnnis, developed in phiia. c1phia ln the latter part of the 10th century.
 Courts and Balls Vary
 There is little difference in the game. Sizes of the courts differ a bit, and the balls used in the two games vary. In squash tennis the ball Is mated like an outdoor tennis ball, somewhat smaller. and very lively. In squash racquets the ball iss till smaller; of black rub- Der, and is much less lively than the squash tennis sphere.
 Tie game. has caught on to such degree in the United. States that every athletic club and major uni. versity has several courts.
 Tine garne is an excellent condi- tioncr, and is nearly as strenuous as tennis. It Is played by serving to place shots so that the opposing player cannot reach them on the rebound.

TODANS .SPORTAPAEADE MM%h@
BY HENRYMcELNiORE United Press Stan COrrcstlOndcut

London, Juno IA gentleman met at Prestwick, n captain some thing or other, asked me to grouse shooting at his lodge on the Moors and, when l accepted, suggested 1 catch n night train to Glasgow August 12th, or the "glorious 12th." as the opening of tho shooting sea son is known.
 Captain Something or. thc-o other doesn't know 1t yet. but ] won't be there. For 1 went into n prominent sports goods shop today and found that tho cost of cqulpping myself for Il grouse shoot was only a little less than financing an Arctic cxpe. dition of 20 explorers, their wives and dependants.
 The first thing I inquired about was q gun. The clerk showed me three. The first, n nice modest little number. could be hud for four hundred dollars. The second, which had q covey of naked angels etched on the barrel. was i've hundred. But the clerk made 1t clear that if l expected to get any grouse simply had to have number three, which retailcd for seven hundred
 This K the model. the clerk said. handling it like a new born babe, that we sell to Mister Hut ton, Barbara's father. or course you know Mister Hutton"
 Bill Hutton?" asked "Of course l know Bill Hutton. We shoot pool together nearly every day. And Barbara A dear child, But 1 think I'll make my old gun do. A bit worn to be sure. but mighty, mighty relia ble In n pinch. '"
 The clothing department was next. A complete outfit with grouse cap, grouse muffler, grouse tic, grouse shirt, grouse undershii {, goruse coat, grouse suspenders, grouse pants, grouse leggins, grouse socks, and grouse boots, came to three hundred. And that was with out the grouse collar pin, which one can do without If he cares to run the risk of being ostracized by his fellow shooters.
 The gun and the clothes are only half the expense. There Is the mat ter of bcaters. A beatcr, as 1t was explained to me, Is chap who, armed with an ordinary baby rattle, wandcrs about over the moor and makes the grouse put down what
 
 the hunters heads. Mister Hutton. the clerk said. usually found 90 beaters sufficient.
 Then you've got to have a loader, who stands beside you and keeps you gun filled with ammunition. And if the shoot is really plush one you have to have q trigger man to fire your gun when you get 1t aimed, and Il bearer who carries the dead birds and who con be sent to the shooting lodge for more Scotch.
 Dogs are a sizeable expense, also. They are used for retrieving. If you take only two or three dogs it im- plies wou are not n good enough shot to keep more at work. 50 for appearances sake, you must have a dozen or so, even If 10 of them spend the day doing whatever dogs do on moOrs when time hangs heavy on their hands.
 Then there is the expense of transportation. With 90 beaters, q loader, a trigger man. bearer. and 4 dozen dogs. a special train would be required. Also. there would be the bother and expense of gaining q parade permit. which you would certainly have t0 secure before moving such q procession through the streets to the railroad
