\. BOARD
. HAS BAN
ON MAX
By JACK DEMPSEY


"Jack Sharkey will be reserved
for fight with Max Schmeling
in New York during the summer" "
Is the announcement from Madi-
son Square Garden. That's the
fight!
Sharkey unquestionably is the
American champion; Schmeling
stands forth as the best of the
Europeans. But what I am trying
to figure out. along with about
100000 neighbors, is how can
the Garden now promise just
such a battle?
For quite some time Schmeling
has been under suspension in New
York because he did not fulfill
his contract and fight Phil Scott.
The German was dated up to
meet Scott prior to his battle
against Pauline on the Milk Fund
card last summer. He was de-
cidedly opposed to meeting Scott,
wanted to cancel that match. and
go right ahead and swap punches
with the Basque.
But the New York State
Athletic Commission informed
him he must meet Scott first.
After a lot of argument it
was agreed by the commits
sion to permit Schmeling to
meet Pauline first, if he
fought Scott soon after that
brawl.
Schmeling gave his promise.
Then he broke it. After that
Max was suspended and the Sus-
pension is supposed to endure
until such time as he battles
Scott in New York State.
If one takes the statements of
Jimmy Johnston, manager of
Scott, and couples them with
Schmeling'S perculiar attitude
concerning a Scott fight, then
the conclusion comes that Schmel-
ing regards Scott as too tough
and that meeting with Scott
might bring defeat and wreck his
hopes of trading hooks with
SharKey.
Johnston insists that "Schmel-
ing always has been afraid of
Scott" He insists the fear gene
rated when both were in Europe.
The Schmeling- Scott match seems
to have been made without the
full consent of Schmeling. After
1t was made Max wanted to duck
it-and did-upon two different
occasions.
Rather than fight Scott,
the German youth riSked SuS-
pension which drove him back
to Europe where he is in com.
parative idIeness at a time
when he could be picking up
huge bundles of money on
these shores.
In view of the fact that Shmel-
Ing lodged meeting Scott prior
to the Pauline fight, and ducked
It again afterward, and has an.
nounced he won't fight Scott
we'll, how come the Garden to an
1ounce a Schmeling- -Sharkey tight
for next summer?
For, unless the commission COM
letely overrules itself, it will keep
6chmeling under suspension until
he keeps his engagement With
Scott and unless Schmeling ex-
perlences an entire change of at
titude he never will take a
chance with Scott.
OF course; if the match is com.
pleted, Sharkey may eliminate
Scott at Miami and Schmeling
can be welcomed with good grace
by the New York State boxing
board.

QUIT CELL, SEES
MOTHER; BACK

RICHMOND, Va, July IT.
Clinton Kirby, 10, wanted to go
home to see his mother who was
sick in bed.
He couldn't legally because
he was sentenced to 10 years in
the penitentiary on three charges
Of housebreaking. But Clinton
had his own way about it. He
climbed through the transom in
the prisoners room at hustings
court, dashed home and COM
forted his parents.
He didn't stay long, because by
the time officers had started
their search he had returned to
the court to await transfer to
the State prison.
Kirby was charged in three in
dictments with having taken
property and currency valued at
$28.25. He entered pleas of
guilty to all three. Officers said
he had confessed to more than a
dozen robberies in the city.
This was not the first time
Kirby has shown his individu.
ality. A few weeks ago when
officers caught him breaking into
a filling station. he owned up
they said, to the dozen other
houSebreaking cases of which he
was guilty and took the officers
around to each place to demon
strate how the jobs were done
On April S, he was released
from the Hampton Va.) jail
after serving a six months sen
tence for housebreaking.

We must constantly remember
that this is almost entirely a
professional market. The pub
lie" is strictly out. Stocks are
mostly bought and sold by pro.
fessional traders. They are not
now being much bought for In
vestment-at least not the over
valued speculative favorites of the
past bull market. yet the latter
are the ones that still furnish
the bulk of the tradingo
Such markets are not likely to
20 very far, and they change very
quickly, The small trader should
strictly avoid getting caught on
such rallies as that now on.
There is no greater folly in
stock speculation than that OF
impatience. You watch the mar
ket rally for a day or two. Then
YOU plunge in just about the
time the professionals begin to
take their profits.
Avoid High Yields.
The wise thing to do now is
pick up a few shares Of the sound
dividend-paying stocks which have
not been overbulled. The staple
old-time industries should be pre-
ferred, These will always be with
us, It stands to reason that the
new era stocks will be the ones
to suffer most. They are the ones
now carried with the aid OF bank
loans on collateral, and such
loans are still too large for COM
fort.
But avoid the very high yields.
The stocks which I have recon-
mended in the past still look good
for investment. They are max
ing a relatively favorable showing
as to earnings. and have suffered
relatively little in the market.
Most of them are close to their
investment worth and some are
cheap.
Investment Prospects.
Take international Cement, for
example. In the quarter ended
June 80, it earned $1.S1, against
1856 last year. In the first six
months its earnings Of 1925 a
share were only IS cents under
last years showing. I still think
it worth at least 70 for invest
ment.
Then there is Allis Chalmers.
It continues to report increased
new business and untitled orders.
Certainly its dividend is in no
danger, and it's yields more than
the average bond. When business
does pick up again. AlliS Chalmers
will be there.
Continental Can is another good
sound company whose business
has held UP well and has made
some significant expansion Of late.
Il would expect to pick it up at
close to so, however. although !
consider it worth 60)
Drug, Inc., Safe Buy
Drug, Inc, is another nearly
depression proof company which
is actually worth its present price

United Fruit has been one Of

Cherry Pits Found
Good for Salad Oil

From cherry pits to cosmetics
and salad oil seems long stretch,
but Department of Agriculture
chemists, in their quest for waste
farm products which may be
utilized commercially. have found
that cherry-kernel oil would find
ready use as high-grade salad
oil in the manufacture Of various
cosmetics and for some pharma-
ceutical preparations.
More than 100000, 900 pounds
of sour cherries are canned every
year in Michigan, New York, and
Wisconsin. and if the pits from
these were separated and utilized
for oil, the annual production
would be more than 100000
pounds.
