oark-haired princess, Giovanni Of

the youngest queen in the world
Saturday, when she marries King
Boris III of Bulgaria, at the altar

Marriage Of the 22-year-old

King Boris of his most widely

have been spread by these interest
ed in promoting the wet cause at
the polls.
Administration leaders wish to
avoid any possible charge of aiding
either side with afirmations or de-
mails, they say.
There is, however, a strong indi-
cation in highest quarters that the
Wickersham commission is contem-
plating a report which may not be
acceptable to some extremely dry
organizations.
AS reported by the United Press
last Tuesday, those in positions OF
great responsibility here believe a
modification Of the law may be sug-
gested by the commission.
The "A per cent alcoholic content
figure has not been mentioned be-
fore. One half of l per cent is
allowed by the Volstead act. De-
mands have been made by some wet
organizations for ITS per cent beer.
There is a dispute as to whether
such beer would be mountaineering
in fact"
If the Wickersham commission
should decide the cause Of law en-
forcement would be better served
by an increase in the alcoholic con-
tent of beer, the change would have
to be enacted by congress, a ma
jority of the house and senate. 1t,
probably would take the form of a
proposed amendment to the Volstead
act.

WALKOVER IS SEEN
FOR OLD ELI CREW
Harvard Not Believed Able
to Give Yale Real Race
In Varsity Event.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n 7 EW LONDON, Conn, June 1s.--
nj Unless experts are grossly de-
| ceived, the annual naval battle
between Yale and Harvard to-
morrow on the picturesque, leisurely
River will develop nothing
more startling than a pageant of Blue
Craftsmanship. so far as the main or
varsity engagement is concerned.
Yale today ruled an overwhelming
favorite to win for the ninth time in
10 years. Based upon the conclusive
evidence of form manifest so far this
year. in competition as we'll as train
ing, critical opinion was unanimous
that only an accident or bad break
of racing luck could prevent the Ellis
frem outrowtng their rivals over the A.
mile course from Bartlett's Cove to the
railroad bridge.
Harvard's partisans, cherishing no
more than an outside hope of doing
anything to check Ed Leaders unde-
feated Blue varsity eight, pinned their
chances Of victory mainly upon the
rugged young Crimson freshman eight.
Alone of the feet from Cambridge, the
Harvard yearlings we're looked upon as
having better than an even chance of
winning, for Yales junior varsity, as
well as varsity, was considered to hold
q distinct edge.
The freshman and jayvee races both
will be rowed according to tradition in
the morning over the middle 2 miles
of the varsity course, starting at 9 am.

race Is slated for $50 pm.

The crew has been so impressive in

Harvard's status as the underdog has
not been alleviated by succession of
shifts, due to illness, examinations and

match between Otto Won Porat
and w. L. Young" Stribling,
now scheduled for the Chicago Stadium
tomorrow night. had the fight fans,
State Boxing Commission and even the
promoters guessing today.
Stadium of1icials were determined and
positive the 10-round battle would be
held on schedule, but the fight fans
we're skeptical, claiming neither fighter
wanted to meet the other and fearing q
last minute run out"
Originally, the match was billed for
June II by verbal agreement with the
fighters. Won Porat and his manager,
Ed Stevenson, later declined to sign,
however, until the commission suspend
ed them for so days and related the
match for June 18. Tuesday Striblins
requested the match be postponed, COM
planning he had injured his left hand
in training. The commissions physi-
clan said he could detect nothing radi-
cally wrong with the hand, but the f1ght
again was postponed until FRIDAY ngnL.
StribIing Complains.
Yesterday, two days before the tight,
Stribling refused to do any boxing,
complaining his hand was sprained.
Stadium oficials. however, said they
we're convinced he was In condition to
60 through with his engagement.
I'VE wanted postponement so w. l..
would b In the best Of condition for
the fight" explained Pa" Stribllng.
Although the bones in the hands are
not fractured, the hand is sprained, q
recurrence of an injury he received four
months ago. We intend to 60 through
with the fight, and will deaden the
nerves in the hand before the tight
starts"
Sidney Strotz. head Of the Chicago
Stadium Corporation, admitted he was
puzzled by events.
Doctors Give o. X.
"The physicians have proved Strib-
lings's hand is not injured" Strotz said.
IT DO not know why Stribling, with his
record, should be afraid of Won Porat
unless thoughts Of the $780, 900 which
Schmeling and Sharkey, rival heavy
weights, drew in New York, induced Q
desire to pass up mis- IS per cent to-
morrow night in hope Of q bigger
chance. We have scheduled o good
match. It will be sold out, and we ex-
pect to break the attendance record for
an indoor fight. The bout will be held"
Meanwhile, Won Porat Is doing some
chuckling and training hard for the
fight.
