SarrOn Lifts
Feather Title
From Miller
Petey Wins Split Verdict
After Savage Drive in
Final Rounds.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The
worlds featherweight boxing crown
rested today atop the slightly bald
head of Petey Sarron, bantam
sized buzz-saw from Birmingham.
The former Alabama newsboy lit
orally failed Freddie Miller, Cincin-
natl, into submission in Is rounds
before 21,000 wildly cheering fans in
Griffith Stadium last night.
1t was split decision One judge
voted for Sarron and one for Miller.
Referee Eddie Lafond cast the de-
Gliding vote for Sarron. Thus in the
capitals first championship fight
the title changed hands.
Sarron piled up an early lead,
chung to it doggedly and then un-
loosed drum-fire offensive that
seemed for time in the thirteenth
and fifteenth rounds might send
Miller down to his first knockout of
his career.
Rlngside observers believed ,Sar-
ron had spent the greater portion of
his strength in the early rounds.
Miller boxed easily, with the self
assurance of a champion. In the
twelfth it seemed he might win.
1t was in the final three rounds
that Sarrou removed doubt as to out
come of the go. He tossed punches
at Miller from every angle The
crowd was on its feet roaring for
the kill" Sarron pursued Miller all
over the ring. Miller tried to stem
the onrush by jabbing his left into
Sarron's face. Sarron paid no heed.

TEE TIME - XII. 6z =

THE National Open will be fol-
l. lowed with intense interest by
Hoosier golf fans this year. A native
son, Bill Heinlein. is to Gerry the
entire load of Indiana hopes in the
links classic at Springfield, N. j.,
June 4, 5 and 6.
Bill, our popular state Open
champ and pro at Coffin course,
barely squeezed under the wire in
qualifications at Chicago yesterday.
Carding 152, he was one of IS who
survived starting field of lab play
ers over 36 holes of the difficult
Olympia Fields course.
Seven other Hoosier entrants
came in with cards bit too high
to land in the favored Is, among
them being Russell Stonehouse, pro
at Riverside, and Johnny Vaughan,
Pleasant Run.
THE fact that Marse Bill Helm
Il lein made the grade by the
width of a putter head doesn't
cause his chances at Springfield
to appear any less promising than
those of Johnny Revolta, who set
the pace at Chicago with a 143.
Bill is just as much member of
the Chicago contingent as Revolta,
and when they get on that big
Baltusrol course they'll be starting
from scratch along with 1853 other
question marks. Like most other
stable golf Journeys, the Open
usually finds the unknown new
Corners crowding the veterans. Look
at Butch Kreuger and Sam Parks
last year. So, who's to say Bill
doesn't have spanking good chance
to finish in the money.

CTONEHOUSE missed out by
~ four strokes when he banged

Coast Driver
Joins Clan at
5OO-Mile Oval
Expects Mount to Arrive
Today; Deacon Litz
Warns UP.
BY HARRISON MILLER

Rex Mays, gaunt California race
driver who set a blistering pace for
305 miles of the indianapolis Speed
way classic last year before being
forced from the track with engine
trouble, has arrived in the van of
the pilots who have waited until the
last week of warm-up spins preced-
ing the qualifying tests.
Mays reached the city yesterday
with his Japanese mechanic, TAX
Hiroshima, to prepare for renewal
of his rivalry with his fellow Cali
fornian, Kelly Petillo, and others
who seek lions share of the $780,
900 pot of prizes. His Gilmore Spe-
cial with the four-cylinder Miller
motor which set the early pace in
the 1885 record -shattering event. is
to arrive today.
Seeks Pole Again
Mays promises to be one of the
busiest campaigners at the Speed
way in an effort to capture the pole
position which he held last year
when he turned in the fastest quail
flying trial. With Improvements in
the track pointing to greater speed
this year, his mark of 120736 miles
an hour will be the target of all
contenders.
The youthful California pilot re-
turns to the local oval with the
Pacific Coast racing crown. He en-
gagged in 26 races during the season,
finishing first II times.
Yesterday was marked by COM
parative inactivity on the brick run
ways. Most of the drivers have
been absent while mechanics and
owners relentlessly adjust and re-
assemble the cars for the opening
day of qualification trials Saturday.

the wheel of Petillo's mount, again

RETIREMENT ACT

 Unconstitutional

Washington, June 2e--(UP)-!The railroad retirement act, through which the administration sought to provide pensions for the nations rail workers, was declared uncon- stitutional today by the District of Columbia supreme court.
 The opinion by Justice Jennings Bailey held that the law providing for levying and collection of taxes to finance the rail pensions was in- valid, and that the companion measure setting up rules and regu. lationS for payment of the pensions must fall because the two measures were "inseparable".
 The ruling was victory for the railroads, which challenged the measures which were passed after the supreme court invalidated ear- Her rail pension legislation.
 Justice Bailey issued an order en- joining the government from mak- ing any order or instituting or talk ing any step toward the institution of any action designed to compel the plaintiffs (railroads) or their of- ficers or any of them to assemble, compile or furnish any information or records required to be furnished under the act"

CLAYTON CASE
 BELIEVED OVER
Motion to Reargue Denied in Superior Court-May
 GO Higher

Unless taken to the state supreme court of errors, the $l00,000 aliena- ton of affections suit of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Clayton of New York against Mir. and Mrs. John R. Clay ton of this city was definitely ended today when Judge Edwin O. Dick enson handed down in superior court Q decision denying Q motion for permission to reargue reStora- ton of the case to the docket. Judge Dickenson's decision is similar to one given by Judge Frank P. Me- Eyoy in March.
 The case was restored to the docket last year, with the provision that 1t would automatically go of unless tried by Jan. of this year. It was not tried, and Attorney William 3. fennessey in February of this year sought to have the case restored. Judge McEvoy heard ar- guments for and against restoration, and on March 30 handed down Q decision refusing to restore the case to the docket.
 Reargue Motion Filed
 A motion permission to reargue the motion for restoration was then filed and was argued before Judge Dickenson last Friday. De. nial of the motion today ends the case unless 1t is taken to the su- preme court. Mrs. Clayton sought Sl00,000 from her father in-law, and mother -in.law, charging them with enticing her husband, their son, away from his home after happy married life of l4 years. The al- legged desertion took place in 1880. The suit was tried in superior court and directed verdict for the de- fendants was given. The supreme court set aside this verdict and or- dered Q new trial, but the case was not brought to court again. Attor- ney Clayton Klein represented MT. and Mrs. Clayton.

COM. I'M. LYNCH RULING UPHELD.
Refusal of Award tO Shell ton Woman Is Sup-
 ported By Court

Commissioner James M. Lynch's refusal to award compensation to Mrs. Stella Chupek of Shelton for the death of her husband, John, an enaploye of the Ansonia branch Of the American Brass O., is upheld in Q decision today by Judge Edwin 0, Dickensop in superior court. Judge Dickeason diSmisses on ap. peal brought by the widow and con: firms the commissioners finding and award. The appeal had been pend- ing in superior court for two months. It was filed shortly after Comn1is- sioner Lynch made his finding March 90. Chupek was fatally in. jured Sept. 3, 1885, between 7:3O and 7:AO in the morning. His body was found on railroad tracks be- meath an overhead bridge used to connect two buildings ct the brass company plant
 Contention of Widow
 It was the widows contention that Chupek became III while walking across the bridge, on his way to the factory hospital for attention, and he fell over the railing. Comnnis- sioner Lynch, in his finding, held that Chupek could not have fallen from the overhead bridge accident- ally. He said he had visited the scene personally and had been cosl- vinced that even if Chupek had been taken III, he could not have fallen over the railing. The conl- missioner also pointed out that there were hand prints on . pipe outside the bridge. An autopsy, he said, faii- cd to show that Chupek had been iil when he fell, and furthermore the direction in which the man was walking was not toward the factory hoanikai.
