HOOVER APPROVES
Of FGRAvE[LYPO|NT
FOR AIRPORT SITE
Secretary of Commerce Says
1t Seems Preferable to
Other Locations.
OFFICIAL DISPLAYS
INTEREST IN PLANS
Declines to Express Opinion on
Question of Payment for
Project.
By j. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Staff Correspondent OF The Star.

STATE GAME E,LODGE, Black Hills,
S. Oak, July 21.-Secretary of Com
merce Hoover today gave his approval
OF Gravelly TT as a site for the
Washington air port. Mr.. Hoover,
here, comforting with President Cool
idGe. declared that the Virginia loca-
ton appeared to be preferable to the
other sites which had been proposed.
He said that he had given the airport
problem in Washington only casual
consideration, but that he was famil-
lar with the other sites and was con.
vinced that Gravelly Point offers the
best advantages for permanent
airport.
Like President Coolidge, the Com.
merce Secretary is deeply interested
in the establishing of the port in the
Capital and is inclined to think that
Congress will grant anything in rea.
son which the District Commissioners
recommend. He hesitated to say just
what lshare of the expense of the prof
ect at Gravelly Point the Federal
Government should bear, but he did
give the intimation that he does not
think the whole of it's should be borne
by the District. Mr.. Hoover declared
this point could be determined later.
Believes i'm Speedy Action.
Mr.. Hoover thinks it is highly i'm
portant that the necessary steps be
taken without delay to insure the es'
tablishment of a municipal airport ir
fr.yn ii &c fn
Washington as one of the relay stops
on the New York-to Atlanta air mail
route. 1t was Mr.. Hoover who orig
inally mapped out these continental
air routes and from the very begin
ming Washington has been included in
his plans as a port of call It was
included in the plans for these con
tinental routes when he secured Pres
ident coolidge's approval year ago
The Secretary of Commerce has made
Il q long study of the subject of com
mereial aviation, and it has BEEN to
him that the President has always
looked for it's promotion and develop
ment. 1t is one of the subjects he is
known to be discussing with the Pres
ident during his present visit to the
game lodge.

preston that he has not yet been sold
on the idea of establishing floating
landing places in the Atlantic Ocean
for the use of transatlantic flyers.
Wants Proposal Studied.
The placing of these landing floats
was suggested to President Coolidge
by Col. Lindbergh when he was Wis
iting at the temporary White House in
l. : a
recently the President indicated that
he wanted the proposal given serious
study. Mr.. ! over declined to say
whether Col. Lindbergh discussed the
matter with him when they were to.

said that the call upon him was prin.
cipally for the purpose of asking his
advice about certain business ven.
lures he was considering.

DEMPSEY y-SHARKEY
FIGHT DRAWS 10000
Fans Pour Into New York for
Battle Tonight-Seat
Sale Brisk.


NEW YORK, July 21.-More than
one hundred hardy flight fans, several
of them on the scene at dawn, were
in line outside the Yankee Stadium at
II o'clock this morning, waiting for
the opening of the sale Of bleacher
seats at $3.50 pm. for the Dempsey
Sharkey fight tonight.
All box Office operations were trans
ferred from Madison Square Garden
to the stadium, where Joe Boynton,
in charge of sales. predicted a gate"
of not much more than million. He
estimated $1,050.O00. which would be
100000 short of a sell-out, There
were plenty of seats at ringside prices
available.
A change in the days program de-
veloped when the boxing commission
announced the weighing in of Demp-
sey and Sharkey. as well as the pre-.
liminary boxers, would take place at
l pm. in Madison Square Garden in
stead Of an hour later at the commits
sion's offices, as originally scheduled.
All preparations for handling a
crowd Of probably $4,000 spectators
were completed we'll before noon at
the stadium. The ring, the same one
in which Sharkey scored a technical
knockout over Mike McTigue in the
Garden, was pitched at second base.
This was 80 feet nearer the outfield
than for the Maloney Shar.ley battle
in May and permitted the installation
of additional ringside seats.
Arrival CT special cars and trains
from Chicago, Boston - Sharkey's
home town-Philadelphia Baltimore,
Washington and Pittsburgh brought
thousands of fight fans to augment
the metropolitan crowd. A party of
$50 from Chicago was piloted by
DOC" Krone and Included Packy
Mcfarland, former lightweight star.
Dempsey scaled 1941a pounds at
the official weighing-in before the
New York State Athletic Comm.s.
sion at Madison Square Garden this
afternoon. The former champion
stepped on the scales before Jack
Sharkey. his opponent, appeared for
the ceremony.
Sharkey appeared for his turn on
the scales a few minutes after Demp-
sey left. The Boston boxer scaled
1876. The two did not meet, Dempsey
leaving the Garden before Sharkey
arrived.
Will Divide S500,0O0.
Physicians making the formal medi-
cal examination required by the box
ing commission pronounced both men
in perfect condition.
Dempsey was in good spirits as he
disrobed for the weight test and de-
clared himself right"
Sharkey. the confident. told news
paper men again. II will certainly
knock Dempsey out"
One of the biggest pots in boxing,
half a million dollars. perhaps more,
will be taken by pair of Jacks
Dempsey and Sharkey-at the
Yankee Stadium tonight. Dempsey's
contract calls for 271a per cent of the
gate, but it was generally believed
| that he will get more than $275,000,
possibly $3.50, 900. Sharkey will get
221a per cent and his bit" should be
| at least sees, 1000.
