SPEED EXPECTED
ON FIGHT CARD
IN LOCAL ARENA

When Bobby Pacho climbs
through the ropes at the Ell Centro
arena Friday night to present his
battle-scarred map as target to
the blows of DioS Dado, oriental
featherWeight champion, he's going
to find out he has made himself
job of work if he expects to down
the little Filipino.
For this Dado is nobody's fool IN
the blow blocking business, and
whale of lot of ring worms who
sit on the top rope and watch the
practice go by are going to find out
that their half muttered guesses are
, more than right. From the present
angle the thing looks just like any
body's fight.
But, as Pacho'S record shows. he
is nobody's ham fighter. Local fans
who have watched him for some time
have a hankering sort OF opinion
that their Bobby will come through
as expected. Pacho has measured
too many good men to be the butt
of any rude fistic jests on the part
of the Oriental champ.
When the ten rounds between
Pacho and Dado are over, if the
thing lasts ten rounds, Vivencio Al
cante and Johnnie Ramirez Will
pound gloves upon one another's
anatomy in token of desperate bat
tie, and may the loser eat green
apples.
Alicante packs such potent punch
that, should it connect in the right
diplomatic circles, Ramirez may go
to sleep and dream of the numerous
victories he has won in the Main
street arena in Los Angeles.
On the other hand, this here Ra-
mirez, now, is something of glove
hurler himself, and outranks Al
cante in the matter of experience
Since the boys are lightwelghts,
lot is expected in the matter OF
speed, and that goes for both the
main bouts, and perhaps for the rest
of the card, as the heaviest Of them
all weighs but $50 pounds.
In the two preliminary bouts, the
first six rounds and the second four.
old favorites with local fans, will try
their best to connect with one an
other in very, very impolite manner.
Andy Armstrong of Holtville will en-
deaver to prove upon the person OF
Bobby James of Canada that he IS
deserving of the support of the fans
while Florencio Villa will see what
he can do to Young Figueroa in four
rounds, or vice versa.

FIGHT BODY TO
DISCUSS TITLE
AT CONFERENCE

NEW YORK, Jan. g. U.P>-The
heavyweight boxing situation was
due for considerable discussion to-
day at the regular meeting OF the
New York Boxing commission.
Today marks the end Of the seven
days of grace granted Joe Jacobs
manager of Max Schmeling. by the
commission to Answer its demand
that the champion agree at once to
defend his title against Jack Shar-
key here in June.
The commission has intimated
that Jacobs must say Yes" or have
the championship declared vacant.
Jacobs told the United Press yes
terday that he would refuse to an
Swer either yes" or No
Il will tell the commissioners
Jacobs said" that we insist on meet
ing no one but the logical contend
er and that he be named 90 days
before the fight by the press ano
public
All of which is the same thing
Jacobs told the commission last
week.
William F. Carey, president OF
Madison Square Garden, is also ex-
pected to appear before the COM
mission repeatedly to ask sanction
for a bout between w. L. Stribling
and Sharkey, here in June to deter
mine the logical man to meet
Schmeling for a title.
If Carey does ask permission fol
bout and is refused, there will be
little chance of New York having a
title fight here this summer.
BERLIN, Jan. 6. U.P,-Max
Schmeling, heavyweight cham
piOn, announced today that he
would defend his title any time
under certain conditions.
His opponent must be selected ol
named by the National Boxing Com
mission after a series of elimination
| bouts.
He will fight only in Chicago, be
cause, he said, there is no guarantee
of fair play in New York due to thu
attitude of James A. Farley, chair.
man of the New York State Athletic
commission.
The referee must be neutral anC
in no way dependent upon Farley.
The fight must be held under the
rules Of the National Boxing com
mission, which does not permit low

NEW DODGE LINE
 LONG AND LOW
Grace and Beauty Evident in All Models of the
 Six and Eight
A UNIFYING OF DESIGN

For sixteen years at auto show tim Dodge Brothers has presented motor cars renowned for their de- portability and outstanding appear ance. In addition to the six which a year ago heralded the successful return to the low-price field, and the eight-in-line through which Dodge dependability has been so complete ly emphasized by the mileage mara thon car that has covered over 65,- 900 miles since July first, Dodge is presenting at this time a new six and a new eight-in-line.
 Retaining all of the priceless de- which involves the continuance of principles of engineering and rug gedness of construction, the Dodge Six and Dodge. Eight-in-line add new achievements of grace and rare beauty of line; lower centers of grav- ity through added lowness and heightened wheelbase; improved per- formance through engines of in- creased horsepower and greater effi- cheney; and a large variety of re- finements and improvements affect ing every unit of their design.
 Viewed from any angle and through any perspective it is instant ly apparent that Dodge Brothers engineers have scored an outstanding triumph in producing body design on the heightened and lowered chassis that is so distinctive it does not even closely resemble any other existing lie of autom obiles. A motif that is essentially expressive of the finest blending of grace and solidity has been carried out in every detail of the bodies of these new cars, from the new and deeper molded radiator straight through to the deftly merg- ed curves and lines at the rear.
 The new Dodge Eight is a striking example ot the modern trend in au- tomobile design. Beauty begins with the double-bar bumper and the deep nodded radiator with auto- matic shutters and continues with a new and delightful sweep of front lenders, long. low hood, tailored

 fitting visor. chromium framed windshield and the now famous all-steel T1ono-piece body complete ir every detail of refinement and fitment.
 This conception of litheness and trimness has been brought about by completely unifying the design of chassis and body. The wheelbase is 118 inch which is four inches long, CT than tt at of the standard Dodge eight, while the overall length IS 18O-21-32 inches. An entirely new double center-drop frame was de- vised through the combined efforts of the chassis and body engineer 8 working side by side bent on ob- taining a decrease of four inches in overall height which was accom- plished without lowering the head room inside the body or cutting down the road clearance.
 Thus tbe primary requisite of safety has ben greatly enhanced by these distinct advances in engineer ing. Toge- her with the mono-piece body they contribute materially to the lower center of gravity of the entire car, which makes for better roadability. less side-sway. easier handling, and closer hugging to the road at higher rates of speed.

Joseph Nelson, president. who came to Waterbury from Hartford about one year and a half ago to succeed II. B. Russell as sole pro- prietor of the H. B. Russell Tire 6z Rubber company, local Goodyear distributors. has become great booster for Waterbury and speaks highly of this city as a market place for Goodyear tires and tubes. During the time that MT Nelson has been in charge, tremendous vol ume of sales have been made in Wa terbury and vicinity.
 MT Nelson, previous to his enter ing business in Waterbury had over fifteen years experience in the tire business, associated with Jack, the Tire Expert of Hartford, the seventh largest tire dealer in the country, and is a thorough, practical tire man, knows his tires, and the prop CT way to deal with the public. Joe, as he is best known, was inside su- pervisor for Jack, the Tire Expert" and devotes his time solely to this angle of the business at H. B. Rus sells.
 Upon taking over the ownership of the II. B. Russell Tire and Rub- Der company late in 1929. MT Neil- son continued with the same line of tires and stock that his predc- cessor, MT Russell carried, as he is firm believer that the Goodyear tires and tubes are the world S greatest product with figures the world over to prove it. MT Nelson made no changes in the policy of the concern; rather. he heartily en- dorsed the methods already in force by MT Russell and has endeavored in every way possible to render the same satisfactory service for which the 1T. F. Russell Tire & Rubber company, has been renowned.
 About fifteen months ago, William J. Parker entered the H. B. Russell Tire & Rubber company. as CO., partner of MT Nelson. "Bin'' Parker is another practical tire man, having over fifteen years ex- perience III this line of business.

TOURIST TRADE
 SHOWS BOOM
Business Slump Fails to Cut
 Down Winter Visitors
BY HARRY J. HOLLOWAY


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New Orleans.-Americam may be in a period of financial depression-but it has not injured the tourist busi- ness here this winter, according to a survey of hotels.
 And even the night clubs and gambling casinos have regained normal business since the first of the year.
 Franklin Moore of the Roosevelt, and Pat O'Shaughnessy of the St. Charles, report business unusually good with we'll filled guests books almost every night.
 The Jung. Marberc, E.enville, Montleone and other of the hotels catering to tourists also report good business.
 Racing bets were not so good at Jefferson Park, but Fairgrounds has been crowded almost every day of the winter season. The betting has been fairly heavy.
 Many of the hotel and cafe opera tors claim this season Is better than 1929.
 The crowds of tourists from the north are expected, however, to in- wade New Orleans in earnest dur ing February for the Mardi Gras season. Mardi Gras starts February 17 this year. but tourist1 will re- main until the middle of March, when the racing closes.
 Despite efforts of prohibition and customs agents to cut off the SUD- ply of liquor into New Orleans, sl- most any brand of intoXicant one could desire was said to be obtain able without too much effort.
 Because of competition, prices of liquor were cheaper here this sea- son, than for many past, it was said. Allegedly imported Scotch fas said to be selling for S4 a fifth.

Studebaker Eight
 Free Wheeling
Reflects Apex of Modern
 AutOmOtive Engineering

Embodying Studebaker's epochal advancement of free wheeling un- der positive gear control, the Presi- dent, Commander and Dictator eight models exhibited at the 1881 automobile show reflect the very apex of modern automotive en- gineering. Fortified by the un-
 precedented public approval which greeted the introduction of these
 new free wheeling cars last year, Studebaker offers them to American
 motorists as the climax of three suc- cessful years of eight cylinder man. ufacture during which Studebaker has taken a leading position in the eight cylinder field. Prices range from $1095 to $260O. The extent to which free wheel ing has captured public favor is
 graphically emphasized by Stude-
 bakers sensational climb from 18th
 to fifth place in national registra-
 tions within 30 days of it's appear ance in the new series President and Commander eights last July. The introduction of the new series Die tator eight two months later round-
 ed out a complete eight cylinder line with free wheeling. Now, with its in- corporation in the new Studebaker six. introduced at the automobile
 show this year, free wheeling under positive gear control becomes avail
 able even in the field below Sl,O0O. The success which has attended free wheeling, manufactured under Studebaker patents, is not hard to fathom. It represents an engineering deyelopment, which, for far-reach- ing significance, is equalled only by the perfection and introduction of l the electric self starter 19 years ago. It is the outcome of extensive and intensive research and testwork by Studebaker engineers to find solu- tion to the problem which hereto fore has baffled the best of automo- tive engineering brains-namely the
 control and utilization of momen- tum.
 From the 1ayman's viewpoint, free wheeling under positive gear con- trol opens the door to an entirely
 new realm of driving thrill, thrift,
 safety, comfort and ease. The un- initiated find some of its effects diff ficult to believe. Tell the average
 motorist chained to conventional driving methods and rules, that he may shift gears at any speed With- l out touching the clutch: that he may glide along unempeded by engine compression when he takes his foot
 off the accelerator: that he may
 drive the car exactly like a conven-
 tional car; that this new thrill is
 available at reduced optroting cost
 and he will registered amazement il
 not downright skepticism.
 Yet that is exactly what free
 wheeling with positive gear contro
 accomplishes! Gears between second

 forth, at 40. 50 miles per hour with

 The transmission is exceptionally quiet in all gear speeds because or new tooth contours which also as- sist quiet gear shifting.
 Tests of these new Greater Hud- son Eight motors show that not only is peak horsepower increased but that there is substantial increase in power throughout the driving range.
 Hudson engineers claim that the improvements to motor. chasis ana body. combined with luxurious fit- tings and upholstery. make the 1881 offering the highest quality car they have ever turned out in the 22 years successful history of the company. Notwithstanding this. the prices are the lowest ever offered by Hudson.
