RECORD CROWD
EXPECTED FOR
WRESTLING BOUT
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June %. U.P)-Aid-
ed by the ballyhoo of a charity pro-
motion, wrestling will make its de-
but as a major attraction of New
York's outdoor summer sport pro-
gram tonight with a champion
ship" match between Jim Londos,
st. Louis, and Ray Auer, alias Ray
Steele. of New York, Nebraska,
California and other points west, at
Yankee Stadium.
Some fifty or sixty thousand New
Yorkers-a crowd composed largely
of shameless wrestling devotees but
also including many spectators in
terested mainly in aiding the New
York milk fund, which will receive
major share of the profits-will
attend Promoter Jack Curley, who
has succeeded in Transforming
wrestling from a questionable sport
to circus attraction, predicts ca
pacity attendance of 10000 and gate
receipts which will double the all
time record of $4,000 paid by U.s.
900 fans who witnessed the Frank
Gotch-George Hackenschmidt bout
at Chicago back in 1911.
The show itself, except for the
outdoor setting and anticipated rec
ord crowd, rs no different from
dozens of others staged in diminu-
tive arenas throughout the country
during the past winter. All the
names on the program are old
standbys, boys who have wrestled
from one end of the nation to the
other. .t
Like all other matches, the con-
test is billed as a worlds cham
pionship." Londos is the bellwether
of the Curley wrestling trust and
has defended his title" successful
ly against all comers-from his own
trust. Sauer, or Steele, is an oddity
among grapplers in that he never
has held world national title, and
this in a game where titles are ac-
CURED by the mere claiming.

HEATED CLASHES
MARK OPENING OF
ALIENATION SUIT

Heated legal arguments, dltficui-
ties with an unruly witness and
charges of blackmail marked the
opening of trial before Judge A. G..
Finney this morning of the $4,000
alienation of affections suit brought
by Luther Weaver against G. Roy
Farr.
After selection OF jury during
the early part of the court session,
Attorneys w. E. Abraham for Wea-
yer and Harry Horton for Farr pre-
sented their opening arguments.
Abraham charged Farr mad alien
ated the affections of Mrs. Sue
Weaver, causing her to divorce her
husband and furnishing her with
money to buy a hotel in Calexico.
This action is nothing but n
blackmail case from start to finish,
said Horton in his argument. He
promised to prove to the jury Mrs.
Weaver has supported herself and
her husband for several years, that
Weaver has contributed hardly any,
thing TO the support of his wife,
that Mrs. Weaver, even while suing
for divorce, told friends she still
loved her husband, and that he told
her once at least he did not love
her any more.
Opening his case, Abraham asked
that Judge Finney exclude all wit
resses from the court room until
they were called. The judge re-
fused.
Abraham then called Farr as his
first witness, for discrimination
under a special section of the code
of civil procedure. Horton an
nounced that Farr was not in court,
and will not be until this afternoon
Abraham asked a continuance, but
was refused. He then called Mrs
Elnora Mackey of San Diego, and
formerly of Brawley.
Mrs. Mackey testified she has
known Farr, Weaver. and Mrs
Weaver for several years.
Under objections to the questions
of Abraham, imposed by Horton
Mrs. Mackey insisted on heated re-
torts to the attorney. On cross ex-
animation she several times object
ed to answering questions, raising
legal points until instructed by
Judge Finney she must allow the
attorneys TO do that.
One part of Mrs. Mackey's testi-
mony was that she saw Farr give
Mrs. Weaver $50 as the first part OF
payments on a Brawley hotel. She

AS a result, the German peasant
will no longer eat black bread and
let his wife 60 barefoot. Sooner or

The thought, alone. that the

demoralizing influences weighing

land. 1t has stirred, as nothing else
might stir, the minds Of millions OF
sullen and hopeless pessimists.
Accordingly, although acceptance
OF the plan will mean reduction of
a heavy tax rate by only 7 per cent.

a presage of rescue from the slough

the whole nation has been walloW-

To these people. as class, Hoo

a warrant for new life, reprieye

Story Is Old
The story of Germany is not new
in economic history 1t is The
story of unusual expansion, of un-
usual prosperity, of an ever mount
ing standard of living, of wages. OF
expenditures-and of speculation
together with the inevitable result,
deflation and collapse.

of a years stay from the obliga-
tions suspended, like a guillot:re,
over the necks of the German pee

be on the way.
A glimpse at the economic figures
of German industry during the past
few years will afford substantial
| reason for the unprecedented de-
preston, actual and mental, that
has existed in Germany during the
past few months.
First, the volume of industrial
products during 1881 has shrunk to
the volume of 1924, when Germany
was pulling herself out of the war
mire. Yet, during the year ended
April l, 1881, this output decreased
25 per cent over the previous year.
Wages, meanwhile, suffered a Is
per cent cut, while the cost of liv-
ing dropped only per cent.
The expansion and, in a sense,
speculation, during the haicyon
years from 1926 to 1929, is shown
in the fact that investors poured
26,800,000,00O marks approximately
S6.573, 100000 into industries, into

WIMBLEDON, England, June 90
U.P)-An all-American final in the
Wimbledon mems singles champion
ship became possible-although not
probable-today when Sidney B
Wood and Frank X. Shields of New
York, youthful members of the
United States Davis cup team, ad-
yanced to the semi-final round .oi
play.
Frederick j. Perry, England, and
Jean Borotra, France, favorite to
win the title, were the other suc-
cessful quarter -finalists. defeating
John Van Ryn, Philadelphia, and
Jiro Satoh, Japan, respectively.
Semi-final pairings will pit the
19-year old Wood against Perry
Englands most promising young
player, with the 20-year-old Shield
ranking American player, meeting
the veteran Borotra.
Wood qualified for the semi-finals
by defeating G.. P. Hughes English
Davis cup star, 4-6, Cd, 6-3, 6-l. II
winning Wood lived up to his repu-
tation as the most promising young
player in the game.
He opened with a fast game but
found this style to Hughes liking
and switched his game to soft
attack which completely betuddleo
his British rival. Hughes took the
first set, by skimming the net with
speedy drives, forcing Wood t. drive
his forehand returns out of the cour'
and to net his backhand shots.
When Wood resorted to soft back.
hand cuts he puzzled the Briton ant
had little trouble winning.
Shields had the hardest battles oi
the day, being forced to stage q
great rally before defeating H. w
BUNNY Austin, ranking English
player, 6-3, 2-6. ST., 6-1.
Austin played near-perfect tennis
to win the second and third sets ant
had match point in the tenth game
of the fourth set. With Austin
needing only one point, Shields de.
serted the baSeline and moved into
the short court, where his supert
yolleying pulled the game out of the
fire. Shields took the eleventh game
and once in command he gave Aust
ton no rest.

Mayor Porter was not allowed to

Later, however, the mayor was in

Council President Win J. Sanborn

him for his action in appointing
