GOLDEN GLOVE CHAMPS CHOSEN Chicago, Mar. 10. dJ.PJ Ki ’.lit golden gloves bcxinv. champions, repieseniilig all weight classes, wore chosen last night before a rrowd uX approximately 2(i.ooo per sous. The algin chimpions and their runners-up. also selected last night, will nn qt a similar team of boxers In New York'.- Madison Sqmir • Carden March 2S. A German team will be met later at Soldier Field. The winners last night were survivors of 3,01X1 entrants from Chicago and the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin. Michigan, and lowa in the fifth annual golden gloves tournament. Each of the 24 hours, In which 32 boxers participated, was a worthy fight. The fighting was more furious than that seen in many professional- bouts. The crowd, one of the largest ever to attend an indoor boxing program, either professional or amateur, was a colorful one.. Around the ringside were men in tuxedos, many high in business, social, and political life, and several women. Cheering, spontaneous at the clean fighting of the amateurs, was plentiful. Few boos were heard. Attesting the closeness of the matching of the boxers was the

scarcity of knockouts. Only three' technical knockouts were scored, I and these were called, not because' the victim was in danger ot losing consciousness, but because officials end crowd did not desire to see the three youngsters who were outclassed run the risk of being injured Eic.i cna.r.pion received a watch charm—sized golden glove studded with a diamond for his efforts. Each runner-up was awarded a similar glove holding an emerald The liest bout on the program was between Leo itodak. champion in 1932. and John Ginter, both 1 of Chicago. Rodak and Ginter were fast, clever, and hard hitters. Although Ginter was the mote rugged, Kodak's experience and ability to roll up points late in the third round, when the count was even, won him the title. Each won his preliminary bout by a technical ..nockout. Albert Soukup, a flyweight still in high school, had a case of stage fright and dropped the first round of his bout to Johnny Nate, South Bend, Ind. He recovered his com- i posare in his minute's rest smoth ered Nate with a series of hard punches, and won the fight. The most popular winner was Ad-1

“it congress does not pass this bill,’ Crips told the house "1 he financial world will become frightened as to the solidity of >d States credit. When our bonds depreciate, everything e'.se d-precintes In proportaion." . As the |ax bill was brought before I the house for general debate, it was indicated that probably would not get an opportunity to vote on their proposal to legalize beer and tax it at $5.00 a barrel. Speaker Garner said a beer tax ! amendment to the tax bill would be subject to a point ot' order if it sought to modify the volstead act by legalizing beer. Such a ruling, if made when

I the amendment is offered next wee k I would prevent consideration of the i anti-prohihiiionists' move. On the other hand, a mer taxing provision on beer would n„• legal- . ize beer of higher alcoholic content ! than L. of one per cent, according ! to most autorities. Garner said. But .a- added that he was anxious ' for "every bill to be considered as ' liberally ju possible." Rep. Bankhead. Dem.. Ala., who ■ lias been selected by Garner to prei ide ver the "committee ot the . whole'" tax d bate, will have the duty of ruling as whether the beer ■ amendment is germane to the bill. — o ENGINEER IS WITNESS TODAY CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) improvement is made. A Voluminous Record Miss Anna Smith, court reporter tor tha case, started on the sixty-third book of short-han 1 notes today. Both sides of the sheet <rre used and it is estimated that each book will make about 80 pages of typewrit en copy. The documenlt.,ry evidence introduced in the i case and not recorded in short .hand will require three to four thousand pages. To transcribe all the testimony by the time the case is completed, it is es imated that at least six month's time will be required. It is one of the largest peases on record in the state. Miss Smith has taken all the testimony in the case, which opened last i Sep: ember. She has made a fine ;record.
