New York State Athletic Con- mission to Take Drastic Steps

New York, Aug. 12 R-It would appear that Max Schmeling's fstIc future is behind him, so far as the New York state atlctic commission and Madison Square Garden arr concerned.
 Their licenses already revoked in this state, Schmeling and his Amori- can handlers seem destined to feel the full weight of the commissions displcasure in the shape of ruling barring them from the states rings for life.
 A hint of such drastic action was contained in a final statement. is sued through James A. Farley, chairman of the commission. Packed on the end of the statement was tho sentence that seemed to spell fistic oblivion for Schmcling and his managers in New York state. The sentence said:
 'The state athletic commission and the boxing fans of the state of New York can get along without Schmcling and those who are hand ling his interests not only now buc for all time"
 The statement in effect, was a complete review of the controversy which has revolved about Schmol- ing's head ever since the German heavyweight came to this coantry little more than @ year ago.

 "He (SchmcIing) came to this country with his manager. Arthur BueloW, and We did everything we could to protect him and his man. ager and insisted that the contracts which his manager signed be lived up to by the promoters.
 "The boxing situation in the state of New York is in a healthy condf- tion and it would be a pity if the actions of ono boxer and those who are apparently controlling his tn- torosts, would be responsible for creating q situation which might have an effect on boxing which would not be so beneficial insofar as it's future is concerned"

Through the Static

An unusual story is connected with one of the chief orchestral fea- lures of the Family Party for to- night at S:36 when the new Buick will again be host.
 An author of note lost his grip and his writing became artificial. He struggled against the feeling that he'd started slipping backward and sought relief in travel. ArriV- ing in an obscure village in China. where he thought to hide himself, he became absorbed in watching the home life of the village people their simple joys and sorrows, their dren and their happy family life. In few days he felt he could write again. He did write-bettcr than he had ever written before.
 Jessica Deppen, the composer and arranger of music, happened to find a copy of the book that told of this Chinese adventure. And out of this grew the Chinese Fantasy" which will be the central orchestral feature of the Buick program.
 Miss Deepen, who is the widow of the late Ernest Ball and the ar ranger of much of the music by that beloved song writer, has in corporated n the Chinese Fantasy her conception of the authors idea of the beauty of human love and it's universality-no matter where found.
