5l'HN|ELING
IS SIGNED
FORB(QJT
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Max
Echmeling and the winner Of the
Sharkey-Scott fight at Miami
will meet for the heavyweight
championship of the world at the
Yankee Stadium on June 26,
with the local milk fund and
Madison Square Garden as joint
promoters. This isn't news. Its
something even scarcer than news
-scarcer than the Nheel prints of
q hen. It's fact.
It isn't news because Schmeling,
Sharkey and Scott, their man
ayers, the milk fund people and
Madison Square Garden have
known it these many weeks.
Among these who didn't know it
were the lads who were wonder
ing what they were going to use
for money when the time came
to pay Schmeling $250,000 for
dawdling with some dum-dunn at
Atlantic City on March 81.
This one seemed due for
a run out by either party or
both, so Mr.. Joe Jacobs, who
manages Schmeling any time
the latter doesn't catch him
at it, decided to jump the
gun before it went off by mis-
take and hit somebody on
purpose.
AS a matter of fact, there's one
thing to be said for Jacobs. He
may start something too soon;
he never stops it too late. He
knows when to quit. They say it
would have been worth Jacobs
job if Schmeling got back here
to find that his first big fight
was to be with a lot of pro
moters over the question of
whether they meant dollars or
were talking about the popula-
ton when they said 250,000.
To give them their due, they
meant dollars, if Sharkey was
to be in the other corner. and
dish towels, if the dum-dum was
to go with the party. They can't
get Sharkey. Sse tied up with
the Garden recently. So did
Scott. Therefore, Jacobs run-out
yesterday wasn't a tragedy. It
should have been $250,000 worth
Of relief. 1t must be a terrible
strain, worrying about something
you know you won't do.
They still are talking today
about going after the Sharkey-
Scott winner and thus holding
Schmellng to his contract, but
it's no use. Not only are the
Miami principals committed to
the milk fund program but so is
Schmeling himself.
His Mr.. Jacobs agreed to
terms a month ago, just by
way of showing that, Of all
the boxing men in the world,
he liked himself the best.
One of the "convincers" in
this transaction involved the
promise of the milk fund pro-
moters to have the bowser re-
moved from Herr SchmeIing's
brow by the local commission.
The promise was promptly full
filled, a fact that the commits
sion tacitly admitted some weeks
ago when it gave Herr Schmeling
so days to accept the Sharkey-
Scott winner for title fight.
When the time comes, this
won't take 50 minutes.

proved by the supervising committee

Various houses in this Foxhall group,
as designed by Waverly Taylor in asso-
citation with Porter g. Locke, all local
architects, will be of different appear
ance, lending variety of interest to the
group, yet each one will be harmonious
in style with its neighbors and the whole
viii present a balanced character.
The model house will be one OF two
central dwellings,. It's facade will be
featured by porch supported with
rough-hewn timbers and having small
bagled roof, a series of three windows
as unit in the second story, two neatly
designed dorn.ers with small gabled roofs
projecting from the face of the main
roof, and a typical English chimney ris-
ing above the ridge of the roof
This dwelling will be in the $3.50
cost classification.
All VIII Be in Harmony.
In this character of residential de-
velopment, the appearance of the whole

the individual unit. This was consid-
cred in the selection of the model house.

ance, will have interesting and pleasing
broken roof lines, variety in the charac-
ter of each unit, yet all will be tied to-
gether tremendously in keeping with the
English style followed in all.

Drought Damages Big Power
Plant Near FairmOnt

In maintaining adequate and depen-
cable electric service for industries
and homes, regardless of expense, one
of the heaviest losses in this entire
section caused by the drought has
been suffered by the Monongahela
West Penn Public. Service Company,
at its Rivesville power station; near
Fairmont. Nearly $4,000 damages
have been suffered by the company on
account of acid condition of the Mon
ongahela river water used at. the sta
ton, it was stated. This huge amount
is mainly damage to equipment sdi-
rectly traceable to the excessive and
long-continued drought, although
great losses in efficiency and extra
labor incidental to added maintenance
and repairs have been caused. These
cannot be estimated but would amount
to many thousands of dollars.
