boxing kIIOWlGQSG puAlFu AIlHt bA4 ~
"Walker-as game boy as ever
trod the local rings-tried hard,
but was not quite equal to the
task. He did well for the first
few rounds, but after Shade
warmed up to his work, Walker
attempts to land on him were
laughable. At times the audience
laughed right. out loud at him.
He took an awful FASTING for nine
rounds, but in the last round came
on like a prairie fire and almost
burned Shade down. The latter
had such a tremendous lead, how
ever, that the late rally did not
change the score any.
"Walker may be heard from
later on, but at present he is too
raw for a finished ringster like
Shade" =,
The boxing commission paid
Patsy Haley quite a compliment
when they selected him for the
referee job in that fight.
Haley is without doubt the
squarest and wisest referee in the
East today. Patsy fought in the
days of McGovern and knows his
business from the ground up. His
honesty has never been ques-
toned. =.
Last year fight fans thought
that. with two more inches added
to his height, Micker Walker
could lick Dempsey Since Walker
met Greb and Shade, however
thew don't think that he can lick
Kearns now. -,
Readers of this column will re-.
member that the writer has SAID
all along that it was poor policy
to bet on fights. In this column
we suggested laying off on the
Leonard Tender affair. 1t didn't
look right before it started, al
though it seemed to be on the
square.
Those who fell for the Leonard
Britton burlesque got what they
deserved. Those who bet on
Dempsey to stop poor old Bill
Brennan got what they deserved.
SOMEONE bet that Dempsey would
NOT stop poor old Bill in ten
rounds. and SO 1T WENT.
If you're not a brother of one
of the principals, DON'T BET.

WAR HERDS GOLDEN WEDDING

BERLIN, Feb 24.-The celebra- tion of the golden wedding of Herr and Frau Bernard Bossman at Wesel this month recalls one of the most thrilling episodes in the Franco Prussian war. Bossman, information ally famous as "the trumpeter Of Vionville,' in the battle of Vionville- Mars-La-Tour, on August 16 1870, stood in the midst of the heaviest firing, unconcernedly blowing the sig nal for attack. His coolness and he roism gave heart to his comrades, and they carried the day in one of the heaviest encounters of the entire war.
 Bossman's deed inspired the Ger man poet Liliencron to apostrophize him in his poem, Der Trompeter von Vionville"

GERMANY SkEPTICAL AS TO
 PRACTICABlLlTY OF PROHI

BERLIN, Feb. 24-The prohibi- ton issue is gradually becoming a live one in Germany. During the campaign for Parliament recently closed the anti-liquor interests for the first time tried definitely to compel parties and candidates to declare where they stood. Most persons queried were able, however, to sidestep the issue without losing any votes.
 Among the demands put forward by the German prohibition forces are the following: An embargo up on all intoxicating drinks imported from other countries; immediate closing of all saloons of a shady character; restriction of liquor production to the quantity essential for medicinal and religious pur- poses; representation of all brewerles and distilleries; sociaiization of restaurants and hOstelres; strict prohibition of the sale of intoxicat- ing drinks to boys anc girls under age.
 Most Greman people favor the last named of these demands, but on the whole are skeptical as to the practica ability of prohibition. The stories they read about the United States are cited as evidence that prohibition cannot be enforced.

MULLINS AND TEX
 COME AGREEMENT

NEW YORK, Feb 24.-First came news that Tex Rickard had matched Harry Wills and Romero-Rojas. Then immediately afterwards the world was informed that Wills had gone to Hot Springs with a left hand that re- Quired rest and medical attention
 The funny part of it is that Wills left hand has nothing the matter with it at all It is hard to keep up with the doings of managers and promoters in this weird fight game Things happen that look o. K. on the surface, yet actually they are something else again on the inside. But what seems to be going on is a game of put and take between Rick ard and Paddy Mullins.
 For several years Tex and old Paddy, who seems to have a very trusting nature, have not been OH business terms One proof of this is that none of Mullins fighters have appeared in the Madison Square Gar den. that mecca of all boxers in the winter months.
 Mullins Biames Rickard
 Mullins is convinced, despite Rick ards statements, that the master snowman is responsible for keeping his big brown man away from a shot at the title.
 Insiders believe that Mullins missed one when he let Rickard sign Wills and Firpo. Or at that maybe Null lins had more faith in his fighter than Rickard had. Anyway, the dope is that the promoter expected that Firpo's wild rights would erase the Negro from the picture or that the black battler would smash his hands on the Argentino's reinforced conk.
 We'll, as it turned out, Wills played mainly for Firpo's body, and showed up the Wild Bull in his true colors.
 No Dempsey-WiIIs Fight
 Now the inside talk is that Mullins has again proved trusting and has listened to promises that Wills will get his chance this summer and in return puts his man in the stable. Just how Mullins was talked into this belief is hard to say; but II looks as though the only result of this arrangement will be the keep ing of Wills out of the limelight and the headlines. Dempsey, so goes the talk, will fight this summer. But Harry Wills won't be his opponent
 With the news that Mike McIlgue is going to have his hand operated on-Mike being another of Mullins string of battlers-there comes to mind a vivid recollection of the cause Of that injury.
 McTigue's injury, as matter Of fact, is an old one and he but added to the serious condition of his mau- lie in his battles against Stribbling and Walker.
 K. O.'d Canadian In 1920.
 It was in March, 1920, that Mike faced the Canadian champion, Gene BrOsseau, in Montreal, and surprised the smart one by knocking the Can adian out.
 The hand that did the trick was swollen black and blue for two months after that wallop and now after five years he is to undergo the operation necessary to restore 1t to it's proper shape for defense of his light heavyweight crown.
 McTigue's knockout of Brosseau by the way, is said to have spoiled the biggest betting coup ever at tempted in the dominion. The French Canadians idoliZed Brosseau and thinking he could beat any man of his weight in the world went down into the old sock for money to Wag- CT on the battle.

small dealers. In consequence Of this
fact. and because they have a more
or less fixed expense In sales organ
ization and marketing facilities, with
established trade to preserve, they
are not quick to act upon appear
ances; they are not SO free to adopt
a policy of holding and not selling
their stocks. Yet finally and in the
last analysis the advantage of hold
ings as against selling is the thing
that causes a price change to be
initiated.
"a. 1t is not a matter of edict.
On the contrary, it is the result of an
memorable law. True, the marketers
must and do decide what they will
do, and so far as l know each de-
cides for himself, but the decisions
are induced by considerations some
what similar to those which would
induce n to leave a railroad track
upon the approach of an express
train. They are inevitable decisions.
If a company is selling gasoline at a
low price, and forsees a diminished
supply and better prices in the neal
future, meaning also a higher price
for the new stocks which it must
have, it will naturally prefer to hold
for the future market rather than
continue selling at the low price. 1t
accordingly increases its price, being
perfectly willing to forego sales at
the old price and thereby accumu-
late or conserve stocks. 1t is the
exact reverse of the picture when
increased supply and lower prices
are foreseen, when the effort is to
,nnliyn IN, npauailinu prinne onI uN
into the low period with small stocks.
The general market outlook affects
virtually all marketers the same way.
Having the same sources of informa-
ton, they see the same picture, es-
pecially If it is plain. So when n
makes a price increase Others are
likely to follow. There nay exist the
thot and the hope hat this will oc-
cur, and the initiative is seldom taken
except that the mover is willing to
forego sales at the old price
8. 1t would be surprising if prices
We're not somewhat uniform as be-
tween the various marketing COM
panies. If m company increases its
price such action is based upon the
fact that it is willing to lose sales at
the old price in order to accumulate
STOCKS, WHICH Is dlOtleI Way VI say
ing that 1t is unwilling to longer sell
at the old price. Other companies are
naturally anxious to improve their
revenue and are therefore willing to
receive higher prices. 1t usually
happens, moreover, that they are in
the same position as the company
which initiates the advance in that
they would rather accumulate stocks
than continue selling at the old
price. Being in that position. If they
did not increase their prices the trade
would drift to them and they would
lose stocks at a price considered too
low. When the tendency is down
ward, IL one company reduces its
price others must do likewise or the
latter will lose their trade to the
former. 1t would be anomalous in
deed If a number of marketers could
sell the same product, assuming that
the quality is virtually the same, in
the same territory at different prices
and each retain its trade.

the very things that cause it to go
up stimulate competition in buying
from producers even at mounting
prices, which in turn reduces COM

When prices are going down the
things which cause them to go down
stimulate competition between sell
ers and give consumers increased OPP
portunity to buy. In h one case
it is a sellers market and in the other
it is a buyers market. At the pres
