action in the matter.
The transaction, characterized by
Mr.. Ford as "a simple affair oi
business which should have been
decided by anyone within week.,
he declared, has become a com.

was withdrawn because productive
business cannot wait on politics.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Forced to a

the million dollar syndicate that was
bidding for Firpo- Wills match will
have to find an outdoor stadium or

Lew Raymond, spokesman for the

and stage the fight in a sunken con-
crete stadium in Connecticut that
would seat 10000, said today he had
asked for another days grace.
Raymond needs $4,000 to deposit

that he is aspiring to do more than
get his name in the papers and help
Harry Wills get advertising.
Apparently, Raymond hasn't the
$4,000 or 1t would have been posted

an effort was being made to get the
contracts so they might be sold to
him for a brokerage profit.
