poration. and contingent OF
fight correspondents returning from
Miami Beach, 1t is predicted that events
will begin to move toward clearing of
the air in the heavyweight champion
ship muddle.
First on the calendar is the special
meeting on Tuesday Of the Madison
Square Garden directors TO select a
successor to the late Tex Richard.
Opinion Is general that the job will 60
to Carey, whose success in staging the
Sharkey-Stribling fight in Miami Beach
has marked him as a boxing promoter
of ability. Carey is, first of all, bust
ness man, whereas Richard shone as a
Snowman - but the former has some
ideas about guarantees and percentages
for fighters that are bound to meet the
approval of the Garden directorate In
these days of million-d dollar gates.
Carey says in effect: mix on the
guarantees hereafter. A fighter Is worth
no more than percentage of which he
will draw at the gate. and percentage
is what he will get from now on, II I
have anything to say about It,"
When Carey officially steps into Rick
ards shoes, the fight fans can look for
big doings in the heavyweight ranks.
Carey's idea of a popular match is to
send Sharkey in against Pauline Uz-
cudun; or. If that falls through, to sign
Sharkey and Max Schmeling when the
latter returns from Germany. The odds
favor a. Sharkey-Paulino match as the
next card in the heavyweight elimina-
ton tourney, and most of the fight
critics who saw Sharkey's work in the
ring with Stribling are convinced that
the Boston sailor cannot stand up
against the bull-like rushes of the

After Pauline has eliminated Sharkey
there will be time enough before Sep
TENDER to speculate on Jack DempSey,s
intentions of getting into another heayy-
weight championship bout and on Max

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. IL
The controversy between munich,

Railroad Company has been
terminated by the city relenting
its efforts to prevent the railroad
from operating its cars by way OF
q left turn at West Street and
Church Circle. in violation Of q
city traffic ordinance.
The city council, from Mayor
Queenstedt down, finally took
the view that the issue would
mean long litigation in the courts
with resultant heavy expense.
Court Test Too Long
The city attempted test Of
the matter q few weeks ago BY
causing the arrest Of the crew
Of trolley on the washington
Baltimore branch making the
cleft turn" The railroad promptly
petitioned for q temporary i11tii1c.
ton restraining the city from
such procedure,
FOR time q majority Of the
council seemed bent on pushing
the matter to the limit. The
railroad signified its intention Of
carrying the issue to the United
stats Supreme Court II need be.

Woelfel gave his opinion that "
would be useless for the munich
patty to procede further as the
railroads franc h Use probably
would expire before the case got

The dispute arose when the
reilroad agreed to take its tracks
from the bed of Main Street and

the time the city was repairing
Main Street. Meanwhile james
j. Doyle, late president Of the rail-
way, made an oral agreement for
rerouting cars to the Baden Street
terminal. instead of the West
Street terminal.
Cost To High
It was found this would entail
too great expense to the road, in
view of the short life Of the pre-
sent franchise and the city's de.
termination not to grant 9 re-
newal
Now that the city has changed
its attitude, the railroad will pro
coed with its proposal to ererct
