the value Of improvements and develop
ment work and will he reduced TO the unit

FAVOR BUREAU OF TRADE
Produce Exchange Votes Almost
Unanimously for It's Establishment.

The members Of the Produce Exchange
voted almost unanimously yesterday in
favor of the establishment Of a bureau OF
trade and transportation such as was pro-
posed by the board Of managers OF the in
stitution recently. The new bureau Will
be in charge Of traffic manager, who will
be an expert in his line and upon him will
devolve the duty Of rearranging the ma
Chinery Of the Produce Exchange to meet
the new conditions OF the transportation
world.
Because Of the complexity Of freight rate
1naking, with the interviewer interests Of
the great railroad systems Of the country
and the enlarged powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission these conditions
have assumed different aspect from what
they bore few years age The establish
ment of this bureau is regarded by the
MANAGEMENT as a most important step tow
ard advancing the interests not only of the
exchange and its members but of the bust
mess interests OF the Port Of New York.

AWARD YACHTING TTlES HURLEY ALL THE WAY
Passaic Boy Gives Cy Smith a
Severe Beatinu.

Boxing with all his dash and speed from
one end OF the contest 10 the other, Bat
tlins" Hurley, the "Passaic Thunderbolt," q"
outboxed, outgeneralled. outfought and
outslugged Cy Smith. OF Hoboken. in a.
fast and furious ten-round bout at the En-
pire Athletic Club at Eighth avenue and
155th street last night. From one end OF
the contest to the other. the men worked
chest to chest and dealt and received
blows which would have laid low any but
the sturdiest Every variation OF the hooh.
lab and counter followed In a never-ceas-
ing whirl. but both seemed TO thrive on
punishment. Bouts have been styled fast.
but the contest of last night was sensa-
tional
Hurley was clever. He sacrificed none OF
the great speed and ability 10 slug. He
played the leading role in every exchange,
and several times he had Smith groggy.
With all his dash and aggressiveness, how
ever, Hurley was cool, calm and cautious
He knew well that he was confronted by
one of the toughest men in the ring. and
he worked accordingly.
His footwork was not fiashy, but effec-
tive and carried him out OF danger many
times He blocked well, and the majority
of Smiths leads thudded against the elbow
or glove.
The bout was battle Of infighters. Al
ter a few moments of sparring at dis-
tance. Smith would plunge in 10 close range
hoping to even the score, but II was merely
escaping the hook TO fall into the net, Tor
Hurley got inside his rivals guard ana
worked away until the latter either broke
ground or hung on. II was all Hurley. and
toward the end OF the contest Smith re-
sorted to very questionable tactics. Smith
proved to be a tough man, and seldom
covered. bur he met his match in the rugged
Passaic lad.
The fifth round was nightmare TOT
Smith Hurley landed two lefts TO the
head and a right to the body. He swung
his left 10 the head, and as Smith rushed
Bill met him with shower Of wallops and
beat him in the nfghting. Smith replied
with two rights 10 the jaw and left TO
the body Hurley tore in and landed all
over at once. The air was filed with gloves
and the Cyclone" looked for shelter in
fight. Hurley's blood was up, however,
and he followed and at the bell had Smith
holding for dear life.
As the bout progressed Hurley grew
stronger. and Smith took the lacinG or MS
career. The Passaic boy landed almost at
will. end the fnal gong was music to
Smiths ears.
Joe Blum, the self-styled newsboy cham
pion of Philadelphia, who has won all MS
bouts in his year in the ring, administered
such a thrashing TO Tom Murray In the
semi-fnal bout, which was scheduled Tor
six rounds, that the referee stopped the
contest in the fourth round. Murray pro-
tested against the verdict but there was
little doubt that Blum was by all means
the master.
Two good bouts will be contested TO-
nizht. At the Brooklyn Beach Athletic
club Dave Deshler will box Fred Cor
