this Municipality in the annual budget

this island, but has only enabled Federal
funds. which would have been allOcated
to this Municipality to be available for
expenditures elsewhere, and which would
not have been available had this Com
mittee pursued a more prOdigal form of
expenditure. To avoid any suck recur-
renee in the future is the thought upper
most in our minds, foY ii such is the
policy to be adopted, the Committee
would in this instance make no attempt
to recommend a~nylchanges in the Budget
as submitted; If however there is some
object to be attained or actual benefit to
accrue to this Municipality, the Commit
tee would then assume q somewhat diff
ferent policy in regard to their recon-

It would consequently be seen that this
Committee would make its action de-

RING WAR
LOOMS

NEW YORK, May 27.-The
heavyweight situation was boiling
over today as a result Of the ac-
ton of Pauline Uzcudun, the pro.
life pennan, in signing for a H.
round bout with Harry Wills at
the Polo Grounds here or June
% under the management of Pro-
moter Humbert Fugazy.
Fugazy, chief rival Of Tex Rick
ard in promoting fights here, ap.
parently has stolen one of Rick
ards leading drawing cards. Rick
ard, however, has two contracts
with the Basque heavyweight, one
giving him exclusive rights to his
services until November in New
York and New Jersey, and barring
Pauline from fighting outside these
two States without Richards writ
ten permission.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-05-27

Richard, who says he has paid
Pauline $4,000 on the second con-
tract, declared that he would take
the matter before the New York
State Athletic Commission, as
Pauline signed him on April Is,
five days before he signed with
Fugazy to fight Wills.
Pauino must fight Ed Kelley in
Boston before he tackles Wills. It
was the Kelley match which held
up the Basque's proposed bout
with Jack Dempsey. Wills has not
fought since last October when he
was defeated by Jack Sharkey.
Meanwhile Richard is negotiat-
Ing for a title bout between De-
laney and Mike McTigue.
