SEEKING A BATTLE
WITH JOHNNY BUFF
England's One Consolation
Not Quite Ready to Retire
From Fistic Arena.
JOHNNY
BY JACK McAUIIFFE

written for the United Press.)
LONDON. Feb. 19-Jimmy Wilde,
England's only pugillstic consolation,
is not yet ready to retire.
The little worlds flyweight cham
pion told me the other day that re-
ports of his plans TO get away from
the ring were. not true. He would
like to retire as the uhdefeated
champion, but he figures that his
ring days will not be over for sew
eral years.
Wilde really wanted to meet
Johnny Buff for the bantamweight
champion and he was seriously dis
appointed when the little American
suddenly tired of European atmos-
phere and grabbed q boat Tor home
Joe Beckett, the champion knock
out champion of the world, still has
a following over here. IT does not
make a hit with British fans TO re-
fer to him as the Count of Ten
OF course. the real fight fans do not
regard him as a ranking world's
heavyweight. but he is still the
champion of England.
Beckett TO Meet Cook
Beckett has been dug up TO meet
George Cook. who was the last vic-
tim of Carpenters right. The two
have been matched TO meet on
March . Z in the Holland Park rink
A. T.. Betunson is promoting the
match He is also dickeriug for a
match later between Boy Mccormick
and Jack Bloomenfeld for the Ions
Gale light heavyweight belt. Al
though Kid Lewis stopped McCor-
mick some time ago, it seems that
official weights weren't made and
Mccormick still holds the title. A
tentative date has been set for early
April.
Hans Breitenstrater heavyweight
champion Of Germany, is feeling out
London promoters for a bout with
one of the leading English battlers
If any OF the promoters feel that the
fans would stand for a German
fighter at this particular time. he
may be matched with the winner OF
the Beckett-Cook thing.
BreIteustrater vas informed dur
ing the war on the Isle Of Man and
It was during his imprisonment that
he took up boxing. After his release
he went 20 Berlin and i'm his first
public appearance knocked out Har-
Old Rolph. who was considered as
pretty good by the Germans Later
he did not fare so well. however. as
he was knocked out by Tom Cowlel
and Harry Drake.

the detectives. The treaty row be-
fore us terminates the Anglo
japanese alliance. Personally, 1 be-
lieve that it involves the United
States in no obligation except to
meet with the other signatories and
consult in case of any controversy
arising or in case of aggression by
some outside power not a sigma
tory. l repeat that / think the obli-
cation to meet and consult is the
only obligation existing in this
treaty, and the main purpose of the
treaty is attained by the termina-
ton of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance.
There is no likeness between
that. alliance and this treaty. Far
from taking the place of the
other, this treaty simply enabled
England and Australia and New
Zealand to take part in terminating
the alliance. The removal OF the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, which is
complete, created the situation in
which it was possible to bring about
an agreement for the reduction of
naval armament. While that al
lance existed a reduction Of naval
armament was difficult, if not I'M
practicable.
Senators should bear in mind
that the defeat of the four-power
treaty would endanger the treaty
for the limitation of naval arma-
ment. and the failure of the naval
treaty would shock and startle the
world and bitterly disappoint the
American people. We must not for
get the close relation between the
two treaties The defeat of the
four-power treaty would mean the
failure of the conference. Let
there be no illusion on that point
Il know it is only an experiment.

terest again was in evidence in the
dry goods market today in spite of
the firm trend in the early trading
in raw cotton. The narrower con-
struction of print cloths occupied
most of the attention of traders and
prices for rs and 27-inch goods
were firm. The wider goods were
in small demand but prices remain
ed practically stationary. Most of
the sales in the wider goods were
recorded in small lots. Sheetings
were fairly steady although there
were reports that some bag manu-
facturers had received slight con-
cessions on large orders. Twills
and sateenS continued quiet.
The raw silk market showed lit
tie change and little activity with
the market for double extracts in
the neighborhood of $500 to 81
pound There has been decided
betterment of demand for finished
piece goods with crepes leading and
prices showing little change.
WOOL.
Boston, March S-The wool mar
ket was dull again today but prices
remained firm. The statement by
President Wood of the American
Wooden company that the amount
of wool now raised in this country
was not sufficient to cover more
than forty per cent of the require
ments of domestic manufacturers
had a Strengthening effect. Con-
siderable buying of choice merinos

Bond Market

tCopyright. 1891

New York, March S.-The course
of the bond market today was gem
orally upward and. with one i'm
portant exception, unfayorable out
side influences were apparently
overlooked. The last weeks de-
cline in sterling exchange has pre-
viously caused no special weakness
in the United Kingdom external
51A per cent loans, but today the
1922 and 1929 maturities fell sharp
ly point or more below their re-
cent high levels. This factor in
by the continued Az per cent call
money rate. with an accompanying
4 per cent figure today for new
loans. Victory bonds moved up
again, the 4%s to a fresh top
around 10000. Liberty issues. too,
were strong at slight advances.
Among other foreign government
bonds the French 7hs and SIS
equalled their best prices Of yes
terday despite the weakness in
French exchange So did the
Queensland Is. Danish municipals
and Mexican As and IS reacted.
1t was noteworthy that the bonds
of industrial companies, which yes
terday and today made poor earn
ings reports for the year just past,
were practically unaffected by bad
news The American Sugar IS were
an example. They kept around
their final quotation of the preced
ing day and Cuba Cane Sugar IS
rose another point. Moreover.
Fisk Rubber IS were in demand at
point advance and the Rubber
and Tire issues were practically
active The Goodyear IS of 1941
and Kelly Springfield IS both gain
ed fractionally. The strength of
Virginia Carolina Chemical TVS,
up over point, were coincident
with better prices for Fertilizer
stocks today. Sinclair 71as were
heavily dealt in around their high
record and most other oil bonds
like Mexican Petroleum SIS were
firm. Pierce Oil IS, however, fell
off bit. New York Traction bonds
moved rather unevenly with better
prices for Brooklyn Rapid Transit
7 per cent certificates and weak
ness in InterbOrough 5Rs. PuDnc
Utility bonds settled after their late
advance, following the Consolidated
Gas decisions.
In the railway section, Kansas

half a million of the zoo, 900 idle ex-
service men in the country will be

nouncement of the drive and the
tour was made here today by State
Adjutant William @. Setliffe.
The drive, Mr.. Setliffe said, would
be preceded by prociamations from
President Harding, Governor Small
and mayors of all the cities in the
state. Their cooperation. he said.
has already been assured.
Then on March 25 the tour of
legion officials will start Il will
have as it's principle the combat
ting of propaganda spread by some
factions that the American Legion
is not wholeheartedly for unionism.
The group will be headed by Senior
National Vice Commander George
F. Berry of Nashville. Tenn, who
is also national president Of the
International Pressmen's union.
With him will be Thomas K. Davey
of Chicago, member of the legion's
state executive board and member

OF the ledger. This would make
Dawson practically the only fer
tilizer company to make profit on
1921 business. Another feature re-
garding Dawson is that Standard
Oil interests are interested in the
Silica Jel process, and an an
nouncement regarding a contract
between Standard Oil company and
Dawson would not be surprising.
NATIONAL ENAMELIy,
The run-up in National Enamel
ing and Stamping today was at the
expense of a short interest. But
there are certain developments in
the enameling situation which have
altered the complexion OF affairs.
These new directors elected at the
last meeting are connected with
the American Coke C Chemical
company, owners. of the Roberts
patents for coking Illinois and In
diana Goals. The American Coke
controls the st. Louis Coke &
Chemical, which sole license is I'M
der the patents in the st. Louis in
dustrial zone.
National Enameling has already
invested close to 100000 in the
st. Louis Coke & Chemical and
contracted to take from for FIVE
years all iron used in its Granite
City steel plant. 1t is possible to
supply this iron in a molten state
direct from the furnaces, which
should reduce the steel production
costs OF enameling. The new man
agement is expected to develop the
steel end Of the business.

COPPERS.

New York, March 8.-There were
signs OF reviving interest in the
copper group yesterday and today.
There was no particular trade
news, except that buying around
the 13-cent level for the copper
metal is on the increase, but it is
thought likely that some large
transactions will be announced be-
fore the end Of the week. The In
spiration Copper company has al
ready made known its intention to
resume mining and it is practically
certain that Utah, Chino, Nevada
and Ray will make similar an
nouncements by the middle of

Tobacco stocks was largely an ac-
compartment of the rise Yesterday
and today in r. J. Reynolds stock

Reynolds could be so strong in
face OF the price war between that
company and the American, there
was no excuse for American Tobac-
co stocks being weak Late infor-
nation regarding the forthcoming
report of the American Tobacco for
1921 makes it appear that this will
be considerably better than was
expected. 1t will show the divi-
dend earned with large margin
to spare.
