Cowt of the votes cast in yester- @ay’s election showed that the pro- posal to institute the commission form of government had carried every ward in the city by margins ranging from three to onc up to as Ligh as 9 to 1. The vote made Indianapolis the| sccond largest cf in the United | States to adopt such a system of government. The official vote was: For the plan 36; against, 9,860. State law forbids placing the plan into effect before January 1, 1930, when the terms of the present city officials expire, but supporters of the system contend that this provision is unconstitutional and will press & pending suit in the stat: supreme court. Legality of this provision will Le challenged on the ground that it was made in an amendment to the state commission-manager law that was adopted beyond the time limit. When the change is made, Mayor John L. Duvall and the city council and all civil departments of the city will go out and a new charter will govern, providing for a city com- ission of seven members who will appoint & city manager, city’ clerk and director of the legal depart- ment. The city commissioners are elected. It is claimed that the plan will remove politics from the city govern- ment and place it on a business basis.

Washington, Jume 22 (UP) — “Golf’'s greatest marathon” was to- day a thing of history, blistered feet, lost poundage and discussion over just how great it was. Larry Dey, 21 year old dime-size golfer, could lay claim to some kind of record, two ‘“charley horses” and a '$256 prize—if he wished to en- danger his amateur standing—for playing 243 consecutive holes yes- terday over the FEast Potomac course. Eddie Tipton had a trimmer waistline, raw “dogs” and a split toe for lasting 218 holes to beat his former record of 216 and Mel- vin Luttrell, 16, who rose from caddy to marathon pace-setter dur- ing the gruelling day. claimed 217 holes, one better than the old local mark, and went bacly to caddying. May Not Be Record Dey said after a night of pillow- pounding that he guessed 243 holes might not be the world rec- ord. Someone, he didn't know the name, had done 256 holes in Akron. Ohio, in 1923. Or perhaps it was in 1924. Or it might have been in New Orleans or Keokuk. But any- enough per- sonal recard for Larry Dee.

Then It Was Work From then on it was labor. The only stops were to change footgear and caddies and take liquid refresh- ment. Tipton, 33 and a bit heavy where he shouldn't be, wore out four pair of slippers. Day stuck to shoes—four pair. Luttrell changed to ‘“sneakers” and then back to oxfords. The ex-caddy who now again iz a caddy cracked first, when far in the lead. He made his 1,197th stroke of the day, saw the ball in the 217th hole and quit, after not quite 13 hours of steady playing. Tipton, back in the ruck. came on. His 1,155th stroke, meaning his 218th hole, was enough. He had kept going only about 15 hours. Dey Plugs Along Dey plugged along. It was not until he had made 1,211 strokes and the night shadows began to in- crease, that, with a sigh, he left off at 7:58 p. m. He had trudged 16 1-2 hours. Tipton carried a pedometer that registered 73 miles. It clicked for a full step, however, every time he put down his right foot. Tipton modestly belleved he had done- mo better than 50 miles for the day. The winner was thought to have bettered 55. The faltering Eddie was not | without his laurels. He averaged little more thaa 47 for cach nine holes, while Dey had slightly more than 48 and Luttrell more than 49, Two birdies and five pars gave Tip- ton a par 35 for one nine-holer. Tipton yielded 12 pounds to the fray, Dey six and Luttrell, who hadn’t many pounds to lose, lost two. \ !
