cial Train to New York June IL,
on the opening days announce
ment, and every one of them is
going to sit in ringSide seat
Such is the report made to this
newspaper by the Pennsylvania
Railroad ticket office, 713
Fourteenth ST., today, as arrange
mentS went forward to route a
special train from Union Station
to Pennsylvania Station New
York, leaving Washington at l
o'clock on the day of the title
fight between Sharkey and
schmeling for the heavyweight
crown.
Only through the intensive
cooperation of the Milk Fund
Committee, of which Mrs. Will
liam Randolph Hearst is chair
man, has the Washington Times
been able to secure it's desirable
allotment of ringside and grand
stand seats, and only through a
careful schedule of other expenses
prepared by the railroad COM
pany is the Washington public
able to see the Understanding
fight on such an economical basis
as offered those who wish to
travel on The Washington Times
Special to and from New York.
Figure out for yourself what an
independent trip of this nature
would cost and then add the
hazard of not getting closeup
seats!
Every expense in connection
with the trip has been an
ticipated in the four classes of
trips available which will
scale from S45.78 to S27.55,
depending on Pullman or
coach transportation and
ringSide or grandstand
reservations at the fight.
The block of especially advan-
tageous fight tickets will be
handled for The Washington
Times by the Pennsylvania Rail
road ticket office at 613 Four
teenth St., as will all other de-

Venience of the individual.
No fight tickets will be
sold by the railroad company
without transportation both
ways or without the other
incidentals included in this
all-expenSe championship trip.
There is no objection to an

ready have their tickets and some
prefer to buy the cheaper S5,25
and $2.10 after they get to
Yankee Stadium.
