.J' MAGIC LETTER
 OF RINGS HEAVY CHAMPIONS TO DATE
On That Theory James J. BraddOck Should Score Against Jack Jelly

New Haven, March 27-(Special) If names, first names, mean any thing, James J. Braddock, New Jer- sey's hard hitting heavyweight who meets Jack Kelly of Waterbury Monday night at the Arena, is des- tined to become heavyweight cham pion of the world or close runner up. For, that James J. part of Braddock's name has been closely related to heavyweight champion ships ever since the days of James J. Corbett who captured the cham pionship from John l.. Sullivan back in September, 1892.
 JeH and Gene.
 Since that time, two heavyweights with J. J. as their first two initials have ruled the roost. These were James J. Jeffries. the old boiler maker, and James Joseph (Gene) Tunney. In addition, another of the outstanding heavyweights of the day. also an Irishman, James J. Maloney. has been flirting with championship heights ever since he started box ing.
 y,One peculiar thing about these heavyweights with the similar first initials and that is they were all Irishmen, good fighters and real rul- CTS of the heavyweight roost. Now comes James J. Braddock, this new est figure in that same initial line, with his bid for heavyweight honors which is backed up by a rugged Irish constitution and fighting spirit and hefty Irish sock hat has spell disaster to any number of highly rated opponents including Tuffy Griffiths and Jimmy Slattery. If Braddock ever does gain the cham pionship heights. he will be carry ing on an entirely Irish tradition that was founded when John l.. Sul- livan became the first worlds heavy weight champion under the Marquis of Queensbury rules.
 It's the Irish.
 For, no matter what has happened to the rest of the fighting divisions Irishmen or fighters with Irish blood in their veins have ruled over the heavyweights. Of course, Jack John son, negro. and Tommy Burns, Can adian whose real name was Noah Brisso, are excepted in that list.

The heavyweight champion mere ly thumbed his program, glanced a few times at the board showing the approximate odds and said, T sink I take this one.''
 The first horse Max Sought" he would like to back was Haggerson. The form showed that Haggerson, ill his last appearance, had run a bangup tenth.
 One of the young men in the party was buying the tickets-or, pardon me, "the stock" as they call it at Hialeah. Max dug into a vest pock- ct, took out a $2O bill and handed it to the messenger with this in- struction:
 q sink I take 10 to win and 10 to lcse on Haggerson."
 Ten to lose?" asked the young fellow.
 Joe Jacobs interrupted:
 ''He means 10 to win and 10 to place."
 "Yah, dat's it, Joe," said Maxie, showing his famous frown.

Lucky Dutch

Lucky Dutch
 Miami, Fla.-It may be quite true that the bulk of the thinking done by the firm of Max Schmeling, Inc. is accomplished by shrewd little Joe Jacobs, the genial muscle-and-chis- el man. But at a race track, Max can think pretty well for himself.
 Max was the center of party of fight men and newspaper corre- spondents who matched their wits aganist the runners at Hialeah Park the other day with varying degrees of success.
 Maxie, in his broken speech, calls the thinking operation sinking" Actually it may be easier to "sink" than to think at a race track, but Max Is one of those lads who natur- ally fall into the category of lucky Dutch"
 Max does his sinking" at 8 race track with no artificial aid other than a program to guide him. Some os the people Tn the party made oc- casional reference to a racing form showing the past performances of the animals supposed to run. Maxie wanted none of this.

Anyhow, Max Collected

Haggerson won the race, paying $9 to win and TAO to place. Under stand, of course, that these figures really represent "stock" but the stock" at Hialeah SO strongly re- sembles money that you can cash it anywhere.
 Max pocketed his winnings, took uu the program and proceeded to do a little more sinking" There were only five horses in the next race, and one of them, Traitor, was an even money choice.
 The champion took out another twenty and asked the messenger to buy 10 to win and 10 to place on Fill Morris, a horse that was third choice in the betting. This time Joe Jacobs said, "I'll take the same."

MANCHESTER, England, May 14. (P)-Adoption of the trade methods of the United States which are commonly called vulgar" here was urged on British manufactur- CTS by the Prince of Wales as a means of arresting the decline the British prestige in South Am erica.
 The heir to the throne spoke before the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. To the Industrial ists, whose eyes are turned long ingly towards the great southern markets, he gave a report on his recent extensive study of com mercial conditions there.
 T am sorry to say that as a nation we are behind in regard to advertising" the Prince told about 4,0O0 listeners. That is one of our national characteristics. We do great things and we invent great things which are of great value to the world, but we never let the world know what we have done. Our foreign competitors advertise a great deal and the foremost among them are our friends in North America.
 T have heard a great many Englishmen say that the American way of boosting goods, the Amer ican way of publicity, is very vul- gar That is entirely a matter of opinion, but the fact remains that our friends in the United States get away with it. If we wish to push our goods better we must take a leaf out of their book"

The deep test is shut down
at 3l25 feet, having struck a

The Texas Pacific has al
lowed this well to stand idle
for more than a year, hoping
the gas would exhaust itself.
THAT well shows more
pep today than ever before,
our visitor told US.
They put on a control head
to divert the flow off to the
side of the rig to keep it from
cutting the derrick down. 1t
blows sand, rock and ice out
with such velocity that it
cuts boards and tilnbers in
two. The result is that every
once in a while they return
to the rig to find their con-
troll head out on the prairie.
1t blows the control head off
periodically and wrecks every
thing that gets in the way. OF
all the raging monsters, / ever

nothing to compare with the
