Brussels.
The sanctuary will be known as
the Albert National Park. It Is sit
uated in the eastern part OF the
Belgian Congo between Lake Kivu

tuary will be policed by Belgian CO.
lonial officers and no one will be

explorer. who recommended that O
sanctuary for gorillaS be establish
ed there for the preservation OF
that rapidly disappearing species

enlarged upon 1t. and several Amer
lean scientific institutions are con
templating the sending Of expedi-
tons to take advantage Of the op-

STATE SCHOOL
BOARD May END
Meeting Next Monday Will
Decide Date of Dissolv-
ing Present Body
BY RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, Aug. THE state board
of education will meet next Mon
day, uncertain whether this will be
its last session in the history OF
Texas.
Members are uncertain whether
the new law creating a nine-mem-
Der board of education goes itno
effect Aug. Is, as provided by its
terms, or Oct. 2, 90 days after adj
journment of the session. Appar-
emily there is a difference Of opin-
ion among the state officials VINO
compose the present ex-officio
board, and Gov. Moody. 1t was ex-
pected, will Monday announce MS
own conclusions whether the old
ex-officio board will then bow it
self out of existence.
The old board is composed Of the
governor, secretary of state, comp
troller, and state superintendent Of
public instruction.
Meantime, the new board is IN
complete, with the announcement
Of Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham
of New Waverly, TO Gov. Moody
that she will be unable to serve
upon it.
Efforts are being made to have
Gov. Moody select another wom-
an for her place. He appointed
two women on the board, Mrs.
Cur bingham and Mrs. Noyes ID.
Smith OF Austin, in its original
makeup. Women are urging that
he name another of their sex TO
Mrs. Cunningham's place, and have
reminded him that the University
of Texas board Of regents IS now
without a Woman member for tie
first time in eight years.
The uncertainty about when the
new board takes charge Of educa-
tional affairs is yer the question OF
its being an emergency or a 90
day bill. Emergency bills require
not only the inclusion Of an emerg-
ency clause, but the passage Of the
measure in both houses by roll-call
votes Of two thirds, and inclusion in
the record accompanying the bills
q showing of such vote.

TO help overcome this gay con-
fusion" Judge Lindsey helped pre-
pare the scenario and was on the
set during the filming of "Compan-
ionate Marriage" the First National
picture coming to the Texas theater
Thursday. The story is said to be
highly dramatic, and dealing. as IL
does, with a topic that is on the
tongues of the entire American ma
ton, assures the film OF ar large
and ready-made public. And it pre-
sents Judge Lindsey's theory in its
true light.
Betty Bronson Is featured as the
young girl. disillusioned about the
state Of natrimony, who enters up
on a companionate marriage re-
newed by the experience. Alec B.

Richard Walling is the lover.

The National League race is too close
TO determine whether an upset may

prospects as either of the two pre-

N YEW YORK, July SACK
N Sharkey adds to Bill Carey's
VI troubles by threatening to lg-
more the option the Madison
Square Garden Corporation
has on the fighting gobs services this
Fall. Sharkey thought all along that
his contract called for 100000 to night
an opponent to be named by Carey by
the 18th of the month.
Now JACK and his manager learn that
the contract is not binding unless Carey
can dig up an opponent who can draw
enough to pay Sharkey what he got Tor
fighting Young Stribling last February.
In other words, Sharkey is bound to DO
as Carey directs. but the fighter has no
hold on Dynamite Bill should the latter
decide there is 40 outstanding heavy
weight to pit against the Boston sailor
Garden Is Favored.
1t is a good contract as far as the
Madison Square Garden Corporation IS
concerned, but it leaves Sharkey out in
the cold and idle all year unless the OPP
ton is exercised.
Sharkey does not like that way OF
doing things and threatens to go over
to the rival FugazyS camp. 1t will be
recalled that Jack did some threatening
last January when he learned the guar
antee the late Tex Richard gave him was
not going to be fulfilled by the Garden
people. Bill Carey and flock OF law
yers made a hurried trip to the Hub
and the outcome of the spirited con-
ference was that the money was laid on
the line and Jack went through with
the fight.
1t was considered smart piece OF
business at the time, but when the re-
ceiptS were counted it was found that
Sharkey would have gotten good deal
more had he worked on the percentage
Carey offered him. But who ever
though the gate would reach the total
that it did?
Sharkey going over to FugaZy' would
who really put the Boston COB on the
fistic map. After Jack had been CEN
sured for shabby showing against Ed
die Huffman in 1926, it was the Brook
lyn promoter who brought Sharkey back
into the limelight by pitting him against
Harry Wills, who at the time gave
fighters a chill when his name was men,
toned. Sharkey took on the big Negro
and proceeded to lambast him for l3
rounds, when Wills was disqualified for
holding. From then on Sharkey played
q big hand in heavyweight doings.
But Carey is not unduly worried about
Sharkeys threat. Dynamite Bill knows
that Fugazy has no outstanding heavy
weight unless it be George Godfrey, to
pit against the blatant sailroman. and,
knowing that Sharkey's price comes
high. Carey is not fool enough to think
FugaZy will dig down into the bank roll
to pay him an exorbltant guarantee.
FugaZy is gun-shy of guarantees since
Jack Dempsey left him holding the bag
with $4,000 on the debit side of the
ledger.

ceiVeS his 10 per cent tnen the Boxing
Commission graciously will permit
Schmeling to make his own matches
subject, of course, to the approval OF
the commission.
This is in no way a threat or in
tended in the slightest degree to in
f1uence Herr Schmeling in the making
of matches 1t merely is intended as a
hint. OF course. if Herr Schmeling
cannot take a hint that Is his mis-
fortune.
The understanding seems to be
that any visiting fighter, whether
he is from the West or from Europe.
must permit one of three fiocks OF
Broadway buzzardS to cut in before
he can get any matches worth while.
OF course, this may not be exactly
true, but it seems to work out that
way.
1t is explained to the visiting fighter
and his manager that the business here
is very complicated. 1t is. There are
angles and angles. It only cost the
visitor 10 per cent of his earnings to
be protected from offending some OF
the powers. The leader of any OF the
three fiocks of buZzards will explain
that he is "just like that" with the
powers.
Rulings such as the Boxing Commits
sion has made in the case of Schmel-
ing make this sound quite plausible.
The visiting fighters gather that the
scavengers must be fed.
RacketeerS in Sports.
IT is distressing, indeed, to hear these
i things in connection with the manly
art of modified murder. So many nice
people are interested in it, as Mr.. Tex
Richard pointed out, including 500
millionaireS-count them at the Garden
any fight night.
In addition, there certainly must be
more than 600 racketeers. You cannot
count them because the boys are BASH
full and shun undue publicity. But 1t
seems that every time there is dead
racketeer these days there is mourning
and concern in cauliflowerdoH.
The shooting of Arnold RothStein
depleted the ranks of the customers
at Madison Square Garden on quite
a fight night. It seems that lot
of the boys were in mourning or in
hiding, or both. And now there is
much distress because Mr.. NARROW,
who was manager of Giovinni Panica
Johnny WILSON,, former middle
weight champion, inadvertently was
bumped off" short time back.
The police became 1nqulslt1Ve ana
started questioning Johnny Wilson,
Umberto Fugazy. who is very busy pro-
noting bouts this season and does not
wish to be disturbed, and Dan Carroll,
manager Of Jimmy Maloney. the Fat
Boy of Boston. These men are all per-
forming important public service in
connection with the manly art Of modi-
fed murder and it is very annoying to
have the police department prying into
their private affairs while the open-air
prize fight season is on.
If this thing continues the promoters
and managers may appeal to the New
York State Boxing Commission to pro-
tect them from this unwarranted police
interference. Certainly putting the
boys through the third degree Is not
for the best interest of the sport. One
Of hem might say something.
