 This is the fruition of the last fistic dream of Tex Rickard, whose daring fortunes carried him on from gold field to Reno, Toledo, New York city, Jersey City, Philadelphia and Chicago. It will seem somewhat strange at the ringside tonight with out Tex, for the first time since big fights became hobbies of wealth and society. Tex, with his inevitable ci- gar and cane, would have liked to stroll about this arena. comparing its tiny yet picturesque points with the massiveness of Boyle's 30 acres chatting with the "big fellows" he liked to entice to his shows and re- marking he never seed nothing like It."
 The complete venture, as 1t turns out. not only exceeds the fondest

MADMAN SLASHES
 FOUR IN SUBWAY
Police Finally OverpoWG Maniac
 Who Yields Big Knife

New York. Feb. e7 (UP)-A giant maniac. gripping a curved eight-inch knife, put his back against a wall of the Times Square subway station last night and for 20 minutes held thousands of persons at bay. stab- ping anyone who came within his reach.
 Four persons were seriously wounded before John Kipp, Ger man immigrant. was blackjacked to the cement floor by two policemen who said they had never seen any one take so much punishment and remain conscious.
 It was the third outbreak in New York's subways in the last two weeks A man was stabbed to death about two weeks ago and on last Saturday a 17-vear-old Boy Scout died of injuries received when an- other passenger attacked him.
 kipp. feet, inches tall, broad shouldered and muscled by his job of shoveling on harbor scow. stood in the Times Square station-the busiest spot in the world-turning the butcher knife over in his hands. Several persons hurrying in from the rain noticed the strange figure with the knife. but paid little atten- ton to him. for so many strange sights are seen at Times Square that they have ceased to be strange.
 Cuts Boy Twice
 Suddenly Kipp darted out and drove his knife into the chest Of Nate Freeman, 15. The boy spun around with a cry of pain and kipp slashed again. cutting Freeman in the arm. Then the huge German, jabbering in his native tongue, leap ad back against the wall. flourishing the red blade of his knife.
 The subway rush stopped. People pushed back, making semi-circle about 30 feet away from Kipp. Wo- men screamed; men whispered plans of attack. Occasionally man or woman. unaware of the danger. would enter the subway and walk within range of Kipp's knife before

dreams of Rickard before he died in January but also surpasses the
 hopes of his associates who. with
 Dempsey's support. decided only after many misgivings to carry on the promotion. Instead of an ex-
 pected deficit they are assured big
 profit as we'll as prestige for the or ganization lett by Rickard but now directed by Big Bill" Carey and others of the Gardens famous goo mllionaires."
 The accumulations of events. the color and the novelty and perhaps the spell of the moon, have helped arouse interest in fight that seemed at the start to be doomed to a dis nal and lethargic prospect. It IS the big chance for both Sharkey and Stribling, after variety of fortunes along the fistic path. The circum- stances of being in nationwide spotlight have spurred them and their packers.
 On the form he has shown in training, on the basis of his ten- pound advantage in weight and the assumption he will be at his best. Sharkey has acquired the backing of most of the critics. But on youthful ambition, a daring spirit, and an ad- mittedly stiff punch, Stribllng may be accorded at least an even chance of victory. Both have everything to gain, every incentive to throw their best weapons into the battle that can last only 39 minutes even If It goes the limit and thus requires decision by Referee Lou Magnolia of New York.
 Stribling's stock slumped tritie when it became known he had 'n- iured a rib, and possibly also hls right hand, in training session just a week before the fight. But his father-manager Pa Stribling, ms physician and his concluding work outs testify to the Georgian's readl- ness to put forth his best, without handicap.
 lnOSt WllU SCdII tiO iii''NN 'NNN for indications attach some sgni- ticance to the word that Mike Ca- bone, brother of Scarface Al Ca pone, former Chicago gang leader. will be in Sharkey's corner. The Capones live sumptuously ill an is- land residence here. But the Idea or any influence being brought to bear' or any suggestion of intimidation IS secuted in both fight camps. where spokesmen are agreed on the falr- ness as we'll as fearlessness of Mag nolia. who has handled many of New Yorks most important bouts.
 The facts of battle, already fairly well ballyhooed. are that the big show starts at 7;45 Eastern Stanf- ard time, with an array of seven preliminary bouts as well as battle royal involving F negroes. The main go is for ten rounds to an ot- ficial referees decision. The rules of New York State Athletic com- mission also will govern the contest. In event of rain the whole program will be put over to Thursday night.

TURING the period of recupera- O tion Nujol will help you. It is real health promoter. Keeps the sys- tenn funetioning normally, does not allow it to get clogged up.
 Physicians agree that, particularly if you've been sick, purging by laxa- tives and cathartics is not advisable. Many doctors are, therefore, pre- seribing Nujol, as in no case does it cause exhaustion or weakening of the system. It regulates the system, eliminates poisons, and brings about better health. ~ Nujol is as harmless as pure water. Just ! hne natural substance that keeps the system working at all times the way nature meant it to. Regular ly. Easily. Normally.
 Nujol may be given to little babies, very old folks, invalids and others who are easily upset by more drastic methods.
 Let Nujol help to restore you to com plete and vigorous health. Take a spoonful every night. After d trial you Il have more ambition, and ener- gy, feel more optimistic. You Il soon look and be yourself again.
 Nujol has been used for years by thousands of people, as a regular part of their health regimen, It's surprising how it straightens you out when you feel dull and heavy. Especially in winter when you don get nearly enough exercise. Or cat enough green foods.

Protests Likely on Cutting Down
 Number Of Posts

Washington, July 25 P)-Plenty of trouble faces President HooNers army commission charged with cut ting military expenditures.
 Already the pruning knife has been directed at some of the many garrison posts scattered throughout the western states. These states m most instances are represented in congress by some veteran admini stration leaders.
 Bingham Eayors Plan
 If the commissions axe falls in this direction. storm of protest IS in prospect in congress. But Sena- tor Bingham. republican. Conn. one of the most active preparedness men in congress. has declared this should be one of the ways for greater econ- omy if there must be greater econ omy
 He insists that the lessons of the World War show that training unlts should be in larger groups, ani thinks three main division points for the army. in the east. in the south and in the far west are enough, Many of the 70 or SO garrison posts scattered over the country, he says are relics of Indian warfare days. Opposition to any extensive par ing down already has been voiced by Chairman Reed of the senate military committee, who fears a cor responding reduction in efficiency.

 Neither" he finally managed 10 squeeze out in thin, piping voice. And neither" was all he would say. He would not commit himself,
 Adroit questioning brought out his story. All day he had been work | ing-shining shoes. His brother had gone up around the city hall to shine the shoes of a regular customer, and "Snookums" had taken his brothers wheel leaving his shine box and
