three points in the active industrial

7 ADE Revival
REELECTED. BY
HOOVER
Secretary Of Commerce Sees
Marked Improvement in
General Business Situation
BY HARRY GUsACK.

Continued improvement in the
general: business situation. is looked
for by Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover, and a marked increase in
trade activity, resulting almost in
a boom, would not be at all sur.
prising, in HIS opinion.
The business recession Of the past
few months, according to Mr..
Hoover, was largely psychological
reaction against possible dangers.
Fears Of the future caused a
tendency to decrease inventories, he
/ believes, and this situation caused
! a slump in production rather than
an actual decrease in consumption.
Inventories are now low, he points
out and with an increased feeling
of confidence he thinks that there
may be a sudden demand for com.
inodities at any time. A stimulation
Of trade with Europe, due to a
business revival under the Dawes
planS might be sufficient to bring
on a genuine boom in this country.
All reports reaching Mr.. Hoover
relative to the situation in the
textile industry, which has been
more affected by the depression
than any other, indicate an i'm
provement. An increase in retail
sales has been particularly noted
by Mr.. Hoover as indicating better
times for this country.

Chicago Wrestler May Step
Into Light Heavyweight
Class.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-If Johnny
Meyers successfully defends his
worlds middleweight wrestling title
against Joe Turner, of Washington,
D. c., holder of the American mid
dleweight championship belt, at the
Ashland Auditorium tonight, the 10.
cal grappler is going to step out
of his class and go after the light
heavyweight championship.
Meyers has been looking over
some of the larger mat men lately
and feels If he can Withstand the
grueling training he has been forced
to go through and still defeat all
the leading contenders in the 158-
pound class, he has good chance
Of annexing the 175-pound honors.
Whether Meyers would try to re.
tain his middleweight title in case
he stepped into the newt weight di.
vision or would turn 1t over to one
of the best of the 158-pounders and
devote his time entirely to meeting
light heavyweights, is questionable,
but there are many of his followers
who believe he would welcome re.
lief from keeping trained down to
the lower weight and would hand his
title to someone. as Gotch did to
Charley Cutler when he retired from
the game.

WILLS REFUSES
To BATTLE
F|RPO
Richards Offer of 100000
Spurned by Dempsey's
Earnest Challenger.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA. - Harry
Wills has turned down a 100000
offer to fight Luis Angel Firpo.
At least that is what Tex Richard
says and Tex isn't given to ro-
mancing. Richard added that Wills
won't even consider a bout with
Jimmy Dougherty's big negro.
George Godfrey.
Wills wants only Dempsey or in
a pinch he might take on Tom Glib
bons or Jack Renault. One hundred
thousand, according to Richard, is
more than Wills could hope to get
in q match with even Dempsey and
the promoter can't understand why
Paddy Mullins, his manager, hest
tates about accepting, if Wills is
honest In his belief that he can
beat Dempsey.
A victory over Firpo would es'
tablish Wills as the one man VINO
might have a chance to knock
Dempsey out, yet if he fears the
consequences of contest with
Firpo it Is hard to consider him
seriously as a rival for Jack.
On all fight form, Wills ought to
win from Firpo but evidently he
doesn't want to run a risk of defeat
by the Argentine. Such an occur
renee, he probably figures, would
put him out Of the heavyweight
running entirely.
Harry isn't going to get any
where fighting BARLEY Madden
with whom he is matched at New
ark. Such bouts won't add to his
prestige or strengthen his claims
to a match with Dempsey for the
championship of the world. II Wills
has any confidence in himself he
ought to jump at the chance to
fight Firpo. It seems the shortest
route he can take to the title.
