The Washington times., 1930-05-20

pionship heavyweight fight sci
approaches.
Since last Friday, when The
Washington Times announced it
would organize and sponsor a
special train over the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to the milk fund
fight, in which Max Schmeling,
of Germany, and Jack Sharkey,
of Boston, will meet for the world
title, an entire chair car OF Dis
trict of Columbia fans have made
reservations for ringside and
grandstand seats, and part OF a
day coach has also been filled
for this special movement toward
Yankeeland and the big fight.
Washington fans have been
quick to grasp a situation wherein
this newspaper, with its special
contacts with Madison Square
Garden, which IS staging the
fight, is able to guarantee seats
which were reserved weeks before
the tickets were printed. The
fans are sure of getting desirable
closeup seats in going to the
fight on The Washington Times
special, whereas, were they to
wait until the last minute before
making up their minds whether
they are going to witness this
battle and then have to take
what seats they are able to get,
there would be no assurance of
reservations anywhere near the
ring.
Indications now are that
the limited number of fight
tickets available for the Wash
ingtOn public through this
newspaper and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will have been
exhausted week or ten days
before the fight takes place.
This city seems to be hungry
for a fight in which the world
title is at stake, and this fact
is nowhere indicated so positively
as in the rapid ticket reserva-
tions being made at the only
place in Washington they are
available-the Pennsylvania ticket
office. 613 Fourteenth st. N. w.
Every expense in connection
with the fight expedition has
been anticipated in the four
classes of trips available which
will scale from $45.78 to $27.55
depending on Pullman or coach
transportation and ringside or
grandstand reservations at the
fight.
Other trips, all of which in
clude supper and transportation
in New York, are $4O15 and
$33.18. Details of all trips follow:
RingSide seat, supper, chair
car to New York and lower
berth returning, $45.78.
RingSide seat, coach trans
pOrtatiOn and supper, $4O.15.
GrandStand seat, supper,
chair to New York and lower
berth returning, S33.1S.
GrandStand seat, coach
transportation and supper,
S27.55.
In every case supper and trans
portation in New York are in
cluded.
Upper berth returning to Wash.
ington may be arranged at a
saving of rs cents and all trans
portation is good leaving New
York until l p. m. Eastern stand
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
incidentalSA 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 $2.1O 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, 713 Fourteenth St.
