FIGHT PRINCIPALS ARE NOT WORRIED
Advance Dopstsls Art Working

Miami Beach. Fla, Feb. { H- The dopesters were in hard training today for the Sharkey- Stribling fight February 27, although the principals in the battle of Miami Beach gave no indications of being overburden with worry.
 While Young Stribbling. pride of Macon. Ga, and Jack 6harkey, erst- while Boston gob, sought the surf and the golf courses in indifferent attempts 1t conditioning the goggle- eyed groups which have watched the boxers every mashie stroke Lnce their Nrrival here last week, began their serious work of advance ex- porting.
 So far, the weather has led other topics In early speculation. It has been argued loudly that Sharkey, fresh from the cold north, will be handicapped by the balmly breezes, while the Georgian is conceded the advantage of knowing his weather.
 Now that he has finished the sign ing of contracts, even down to the peanut concession. and has seen the stadium begin to grow. Promoter Jack Dempsey also apparently has cast aside care and has been en- gagged in counting ticket receipts.
 Both Sharkey and Stribling be- lieve their recent fights have put them in shape for the bout. and in- tend to engage only in light work.

 The young Aicr is keenly inter. ested. himself. in carrying the chain to South America. He said hs would like to make a flight there. As flying under secretary. he
 might lead a trail blazing flight to the southern continent At some future date.
 Mr. Hoover is responsible for creation in the commerce depart- ment of an expert aviation section. under the able direction of Assistxn mt Secretary William P. McCracken. It is his plan. it is learned. to enlarge this section experimentlly and trail blazing flights by army and navy fliers are expected to increase dur. ing his administration. If Lindbergh is named assistant secretary in charge of aviation, MacCracken probably would be pro- noted to the chief assistant secre- taryship of the commerce depart ment with general jurisdiction. As- sistant Secretary Walter F. Brown has been mentioned for cabinet post, most often for postmaster gem eral.
 Youth Is No Barrier
 Lindbergh probably would be enc of the youngest men ever to hold such prominent government posi- ton. It is not thought. however. that his age would be against him, since he has proved his judgment on numerous occasions.
 President-elect Hoover today was just exactly month from his fn- auguration. He turned his attention to tariff revision at the extra ses- sion of congress in conference with Senator Smoot of Utah, chair man of the senate finance commit tee. who arrived today to be a house guest He will hold two conferences today in which state politics will be considered, one with National Con- mitteeman Glenn B. Skipper. of Florida, the other with Samuel koe- mig, New York county republican chairman who was in Florida and asked for a conference.
 The president elect will go next Monday to Fort Myers, Fla. to par ticipatc in a birthday celebration of Thomas A. Edison at the inventors home there.

Hoover Considers Him for As-
 Sistant Commerce Secretary

Miami Beach, Fla. Feb. f UP) -President-e t-elect Hoover is drafting q comprehensive scheme for devel- opment of aviation, one of the ma jor objectives of his administration, in which Colonel Charles A. Lind berg. youthful master of the skies. may have a prominent role.
 Tentative negotiations are under way. it is learned, designed to place Lindbergh in the commerce depart- ment as assistant secretary in charge of aviation. Lindbergh is just be- ginning ;t promising career in pri- vate aviation enterprise and natural ly would consider carefully aban- donment of this career and entrance into the governmental field.
 The president-elect talked yester- day with Lindbergh who celebrated his 27th birthday today by pointing his amphibean plane into the skies Gn trail blazing flight from here 10 Panama.
 Lindbergh was luncheon guest at Belle Isle. With his usual reticence the young aviator declined to dis cuss either his conference with Mir. Hoover or the possibility of his en- trance into the little cabinet, the group of under secretaries who bear much responsibility in conduct of government affairs.
 ''I have no information on that" he said.
 May Link Continents
 One of Mr. Hoover's main aviation objectives is an air link between North and South America. a prob lem to which he gave considerable attention on his recent Latin -Ameri- can tour. This flight of Lindbergh's $ is a step in that direction, signaliz-

 Harvey argues that with the re- tremcnt of Tunney the title should have reverted to Jack Dempsey. and that since the latter gives no indica- ton of defending it. Heeney. as the last man to face the retiring cha pion, should have It.

Speaking of Sports

"Jigger" Higgins, star of ether years in roller polo, failed to shine at all yesterday when he played with Britain. After tho game. he said that he was glued to tho floor" and he had wanted to star here for the fans of this city.
 That's the way . mental attitude works on an athlete in any kind of sports. digger" wanted to be soed and he was far from it. "Kid" VII. Hams made up for what he lacked because he was 2 veritable wild man on the floor. Aided by Harry Thompson. they presented an un- beatable combination.
 So much has been said since Sat- urday night about the basketball team that there is hardly any need for any comments here. Certain 1t is that the fans who attended the game at the Arena Saturday night were certainly hot under the collar when the local team took ito ter ,rible beating at the hands of the Bristol team.
 The lot of a manager is certainly a tough one. Manager Lanpher re- ceived . distinct shock when he saw struchbury in action. If we guess rightly. Struchbury played his first and last game here. He failed to show q thing in the game Saturday night and it doesn't appear that hs is suited for the New Britain team.
 "Jigga'' Donoghue, once a hated member of the Bristol Endeo team, will play with New Britain starting tomorrow night. Disgusted with the highly touted New Workers. Mana- ger Lanpher has decided to stay nearer home where basketball talent is better and steadier. Donoghue has been playing basketball steadily and is in excellent shape.
 He will jump center. thus offset ting the handicap under which Zak- zewski has been working against taller men and Zakzewski will play at forward. Donoghue should be . great help in bringing the team back from wherever it has been for the rast five weeks.
 New Britain plays the Manchester Tees tomorrow night in Manchester and although the quintet may be in the dumps" at the present time. it should snap out of the fog and play the game.
 Bristol was working perfectly Saturday night and the team would probably have won anyway. It isn't as much better than New Britain as it displayed Saturday night, how ever, when. of course, the New Britain team is playing basketball.

NEW MOTOR TOOL ALLOY
Is HARD AS DIAMONDS
Carboloy Used In Auto Factory
Work to Provide Tips for Steel
Cutting Machinery.

DETROIT R).-Experiments made
by German scientists during the World
War in the production of q substitute
for diamonds needed in the manufac-
ture Of precision instruments have been
taken advantage Of to provide certain
tools in American automobile factories.
Developing the German experiments,
American scientists have produced a
material so hard that it scratches glass
like diamond and named 1t carboloy.
It Is tungsten carbide and has been
called the hardest material ever manu-
featured commercially by man. Harder
than the hardest Of high-speed steel.
its insregients are carbon, cobalt and
tungsten.
Carboloy Is used In automobile factory
work to provide tips for steel cutting
machinery In several precision opera
tons. While approximating the hard
ness Of q diamond, carboloy is slightly
less brittle and therefore does not chip
so easily.
Artificial diamonds have been pro-
duced by subjecting carbon to tremen-
dous heat and pressure, but the cost has
proved prohibitive. Manufacture of
carb0loy also Il relatively expensive. but
only very small piece is reQuired-just
enough to produce . tip weighing to
IL grams on O base of steel.
It is possible with the new substance
to hold cutting operations to within the
limits Of two n-thousandths Of an
inch.
