JAWK M'AULIFFE
WANTS FRESHMAN
FOR CHAMPION
By JACK McAULIFFE
(Retired Undefeated Lightweight
Champion of the World)

NEW YORK, May 15.-Whilc I
never have seen Jimmy McLarnin
fight, my friends who have, tell me
that the boy is a natural fighter.
With this in mind, | believe that
Thursday night s bout will give us
the first real Irish lightweight
champion the world has known since
| retired 81 years ago.
Natural fighters always have had
the better of book made boxers in
the lightweight division, although
Benny Leonard was one of the lat
ter class and he certainly fought his
way up from club fighter to a
worthy champion.
Among the lightweights I think
Kid Lavignc was the greatest of
them all. | picked him as my sue
ccssor when | retired undcfcated,
and | made good selection. Thurs
day nights fight is not to a finish
so the stamina we needed in the old
days is not so important.
Jimmy McLarnin, | IN told, has
the other qualities and | pick him
defeat Mandcll despite the odds
which favor the champion.
Naturally, lean to the Irshman
for it is high time we had an Irish
lightweight champion. The Danes,
Canadians, Italians, Jews and Ar
mcnians have ruled the 135 pound
class too long.

day, Erroneous.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Wheat broke
sharply on the Chicago Board of
Trade today. When it was definite
ly aScertained that Russia did not
buy enormous quantities of Cana
dian wheat Thursday, as was re-
ported, corn followed the downturn
on colder weather and snow over
the belt.
Final fiures were: Wheat and
corn both q to Ia cent lower, and
oats 4 cent off.
Unconflrmed rumorS Thursday
said that over 100000 bushels Ca
madam wheat had been purchased
by Russian interests for export. The
news caused Thursdays sharp up
turn in wheat. When an European
news service today secured definite
information that the rumor was
false everybody rushed to sell on the
local market. Prices declined in two
hours from nearly cent higher to
the days low point at the close.
Heavy profit taking started In
corn again this morning. But there
was good support on the resulting
dip, and prices rallied easily. Re
ceipts were ninety cars. Cash corn
held unchanged.
The hopes of persistent holders CO
oats went up a notch when wheat
grains opened slightly higher in
spite Of a weakness in corn and
wheat. Receipts were fifty-eight
cars. The cash market held steady.
Provisions held steady.

state of affairs has been persiStently ig-
nored. The courage of the people, in dis
regarding warnings IS most admirable
trait, but they have forgotten that at
times discretion is the better part OF
valor 1t is well to be courageous. but
also a little cautious. The selling move
ment Of today may have been little more
aggressive, little more spectacular, put
it is no different from the selling that has
been visible in this market every day for
nuite a. while-the selling that was per-
sistent and orderly and carefully made on
FOR argument on questions OF value or
what constitutes fair return on an IN
vestment but these are subjects that at
times must be completely eliminated from

times when the market is confronted with

When liquidation has run It's course. when

the situation at this time, we can see no

C. M. C. MAKES
RECORD PROFITS
General Motors, PennSyI-
vania R. R. Have Big Year.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE indus
trial wealth of America was illus
trated strikingly today by analysis
of two earnings reports, showing
record profits in 1927 by General
Motors and the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
Motors, with billion-dollar turn
over during the year, made a net
profit of $235, 104 1876, the highest in
peace time history. 1t was exceeded
only when United States Steel went
over the billion mark during the
war.
During 1927, Motors did a total
business of 9519,673. 1t sold
1,554,577 automobiles, or one for
every eighty inhabitants of the
United States. The total business
was $211 ,366,235 greater than the
year before. The earnings we're
equivalent to $1299 cents a share
on 100000 shares of common
stock.
If the war for supremacy" in the
automobile field should develop
into an actuality, General Motors
enters it with plenty of ammuni-
ton. In the low-priced car field,
its chief competitor is one man,
Henry Ford, the country's first bill
lionaire.
The Pennsylvania railroads net
income for the year was 500, 16O, 296,
the greatest in its history. 1t COM
pared with $67,567, 958 in 1926, the
record year for railroad prosperity.
The increase was made in a year
admittedly difficult for railroads.
The 1927 earnings represented a
net yearly income of 1876 per cent
on capital stock.
