GARDEN TAKES
ALL UNSOLD
SEATS THEN

Washingtonians expecting to
sit in the choice ringSide and
, grandstand seats made available
to them by The Washington
Times for the understanding
heavyweight title fight June IL
will have to make their reserva-
tions no later than June 7. as all
unSold tickets at noon that day
must be returned to the Madison
Square Garden Corporation for
retail sale in New York city that
night.
Under no conditions can The
Times or the Pennsylvania rail
road. which is booking the trip
for this newspaper, keep any un-
sold fight tickets after midday
OF the Saturday before the fight,
From New York today came
word that there is at present a
cash demand for the desirable
seats which the Washington
Times is holding for the exclu,
sive use of Capitolians and that
all returns must be made to Madi
son Square Garden at the close
Of business Saturday, June 7.
Therefore it is essential that
parties being organized here in
Washington make their reSer-
vatiOnS Immediately at the
Pennsylvania railroad ticket
office, 613 Fourteenth st. N. w.
and that full deposit covering
the cost of the fight tickets be
made at the time of making
the reservation.
There is absolutely no chance
OF getting an additional allot-
ment of tickets after June 7, as
every agency in the country
handling them must that day
put all unSold tickets in the
hands of Madison Square Gar
den.
This means only one thing =
that those Washingtonians who
Immediately follow the above in
structions are the only ones who
will be able to take advantage of
the extraordinary opportunity Of
occupying these select seats laid
aside for the Times party. The
late comers are going to be dis
appointed, as the advance sale
indicates that choice seats Will
not be available at any price as
the days Immediately preceding
the fight itself approach.
AS in the Miami fight last
February. which was also held
on Thursday, The Washington
Times trip closed the Saturday
preceding. Already the demand
for reservations on the Times
championship special, Thursday,
June IL, seem to be exceeding the
supply, but this newspaper Will
make every effort to take care
of everyone, provided the public
will not wait until the last min
ute, tendency which many fight
fans seem to follow.
In order to handle a party
of the size The Times fight
special is growing to be, enough
in advance notice must be
given this newspaper, the rail.
road handling the party and
the fight promoters, to. per-
NIT of a smOOth-WOrking ex-
peditiOn.
Therefore two weeks from day
after tomorrow. Saturday, the
fight booking locally will abso-
lutely come to a close. and you
fans can't say that isn't enough
notice.

ard time, June IA. Pullman
reservations for members of the
party returning later than the
train leaving a few hours after
fight may be arranged for before
the trip or may be deferred to
the convenience of the individual.
No fight tickets will be
sold by the railroad company
without transportation both
ways or without the other
lncidentals included in this
all-expense championship trip.
There is no objection to an
individual taking the trip with
out a fight ticket, as some al
ready have arranged for tickets
and some prefer to buy the
cheaper $5.25 and $21O tickets
after they get to Yankee Stadium.
This trip is designed for all
fight fans, and this newspaper
does not deny those who have
made other arrangements for
their fight seats, the privilege of
travelling on the fight special, de-
tails of which can be had from
the Pennsylvania Railroad ticket
office, 613 Fourteenth St. N. W.,
