Hoover Tews Cavalry as Obsolete;
Hence 1T Is Doomed, States Stewart
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE
cavalry undoubtedly is doomed.
President Hoover has decided that
1t is obsolete, and that ends it.
Nominally its fate remains open.
| The army general staff is supposed
to be still considering what
branches Of the military service can
be dispensed with, as an economy
move.
The president has permitted it to
leak out. however, that he already
has tentatively jotted down the
cavalry arm as superfluous, in the
present generation. When MI.
Hoover has progressed so far as to
do anything tentatively, that means
that 1t is final. Nothing at all
would have leaked out otherwise.
1t must have occurred to a good
many people that cavalrymen are
out of date, in this day of the air.
plane and the automobile. Never
theless. there are army officers who
do not think so-especially, of
course. cavalry officers; but they
are not the only ones.
What they think will not matter.
1t is SIC to assume that President
Hoover listened to them before ar
irving at his conclusion that the
army can do without them-as cav
alrymen: they viii be given other
jobs, presumably.
No kicks will be heard from them,
either. II they make a fuss. some
thing considerably worse will be
likely to befall them. Mr.. Hoover
lays great emphasis on loyalty. That
is, his supordinates must do as he
scys, and at least pretend %
like 1t.
Consequently there is no use In
asking questions in army circles
now. with a view TO getting togeth-
er a consensus Of professional opin-
ion in opposition to the presidential
program.
Military men who dislike 1t most
bitterly are the very ones who are
most afraid to say so.
Any defense that cavalry may De
entitled to, therefore, must be a
defense which ante-dates Presi-
dent Hoover's decision to put that
arm Of the service out Of business.
Now it happens that ! had occa-

and the judgment I obtained from
the war department then was in
quite pronounced contrast to the
same departments week acquies-
cence today in MIR. Hoover's dictum
that the mounted soldier has COM
pletely lost his usefulness.
The west front in the World war,
according to expert authority, was a
very peculiar front. in that one ex-
tremity of it rested on a mountain
chain and the other on the ocean,
so that 1t was impossible to get
around either end-which would
have been cavalry's function if it
had been practicable.

Of Middleweights'
Dream to Equal Fitz's Rec.

ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer

ASSOCIATED Press Sports WRITER
CHICAGO, March 29.-R-
Tommy Loughran, boxer courage
Gus, still rules the light heavy.
weights Of the world.
Throwing up his most formidable
defensive weapon, a straight left
jab, the champ retained his crown
last night by repulsing the heavy
firing middleweight champion,
Mickey Walker, over the 10-round
route in the new 100000 Chicago
stadium.
The battle, strictly one between
a good big man in Loughran and
a mighty little man in Walker, was
fought before 10000 spectators, who
paid approximately $175.o0o to
see it.
Loughran obtained the verdict Of
the two judges. Eddie Klein and
Phil Collins. The referee. Davey
Miller, cast his ballot for the chal-
Ienger, whose dream Of eQualling
the triple ring title record Of the
great Bob Fitzsimmons was shat
tered.
Loughran won because he was a
superb boxer. He waged a run
ming, jabbing fight and belted
Walker with resounding smacks
whenever the New Jersey Bulldog
made his characteristic two listed
rush. Loughran never had Mickey
in trouble. and was content to pile
up his wide margin by his brilliant
boxing skill.
Walker had but one chance last
night. That was in the fifth
round when he nailed the champ
ion with a terrific right o tc
the jaw. Loughran reeled. his
eyes were CLASSY and he appeared
to be in pain. Sensing victory, the
Bulldog rushed, aiming his FLYING
fists at the same spot. But
Loughran, always a smart fighter
tied him up each time, shook the
cobwebs from his brain and stalled
the nearly disastrous round out.
Financially. 1t was a loss for
Laughran. Under the terms Of his
contract. he received IS per cent
or approximately SCI. 1000. Out OF
this, ne had to pay Walker $50. 900
n $4,000 to Leo Lomskf and
Iuffy Griffiths, who fought q roll

Thus. he had left a gross profit q,
