would have prohibited the race. The
action of the governor came a few

bittcrest frictional fights in that bodv
in recent years. A last minute attempt
to pass the bill over the governor's
veto was made in the Senate. but this
failed and the bill died. .
The measure. sponsored by the state
department of the American Legion.
and which resulted in a. split in that
organization. was intended. supporters
declared. to prevent the commerciali-

of sporting events at which an ad—
mission fee was charged.
The measure was aimed specifically
at the 500 mile race. it was said. be—
cause of the International aspect of
the event. which draws an average
annual attendance of more than 25.-
000 persons. Officials of the speedway
announced that the race would either
be held on Memorial Day or would
be discontinued in Indianapolis.
The measure got through both
Houscs of thc assembly by little more
than a constitutional majority. During

But it was only after the clipping of
much red tape that Forward won his
first step in.his plans to become a
major league hurler. -
His case was peculiar. The U. S.
immigration inspector in the district .,
in which he resided refused to permit:
him to cross the border under the act!
which forbids entrance to Canadian'
citizens under contract to work in this
country. known as "Contract Labor"
however. after weeks of negotiating
the government put Forward in the
special class which includes actors and
musicians and the bars were let down
for him. -

were of the opinion that Villa should
have been awarded the decision says:
“Thu may have been the reason]
but it may not. Most probably it was
not, knowing what we do about
American graft and its wide ramifica-

One of the few world’s champion-

ing it tighter than Johnny Kliimne is;
grasping his featherweight headpiece.
Three years ago. Uncle Sam sent
Bobby McLean over to “take" Matia-

came back home howling that a flag-

course and caused him to lose a race
that would have wonthe title for him.
Movies taken of the race shared
that if Bobby took the wrong track at
one of the "cross roads.“ it was his
own fault.
McLean. in going to a strange coun-
try and a strange climate. made the
l
athletes make in foreign countries.
He was too cocky and too confident.
He made‘ his plans so that he didn‘t
reach the scene until ten days before
the race and then he didn‘t do much
training. ' ,
He wasn't as good-sshe thought he
was. when the time came for the races

Mathieson "then dug a hole in the
ice for the title/and it has been there
ever since.
Just recently Mathieson announced
that he would be willing to put the
crown up and defend it, but he would
not consider coming to America. No
one denies that it would be unfair to
ask him' to defend his title any place
but at home. .
