CHAMPS OBJECTION

German Had Refused to Defend

Stadium Corporation Plans Lat
er Match Involving Demp-
sey or Sharkey
| WOULD DRAW HUGE CROWD

Chicago, Dec. 17.-P)-The next
heavyweight championship fight to-
day appeared headed for Chicago.
The last serious obstruction-cham-
pion Max Schmelings objection to
defending his title at less than ID
rounds, seemed under control, leaving
/ the usual squabbles over terms yet TO
| be undergone, in arranging a match
between the tttleholder and Mickey
Walker, former WelterWeight king,
early next year, for charity.
George Getz, member OF Gov
|Emmerson's committee on unemploy-
ment relief, had succeeded in having
an amendment bill, providing for 15-
round heavyweight championship
bouts, introduced into the Illinois
f Legislature and it had been advanced
/ to second reading without reference
! to committee.
Getz pointed out that the fight
which would be held in the Chicago
stadium next February or March
probably would attract a gate" ol
around 100000. OF this amount the
state would take between 10 and Il
per cent in taxes.
It also was pointed out by Getz
that the stadium corporation planned
match later in the year involving
the winner of Schmeling- Walker bat.
tie, and either Jack Dempsey, shoulc
he decide to make a big comeback at.
tempt, or possibly jack Sharkey. The
latter attraction would be arranged
to catch the huge temporary increase
in population caused by the Republi'
can national convention, and thu
Democratic convention if it comes tx
Chicago.
Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager
has tentatively agreed to the stadium
corporations offer of 100000 or {
privilege Of 40 per cent of the gate, *
defend his title.

FORECAST FOR
COOL WEATHER
BREAKS WHEAT
Many Traders Disappointed
in Statement by
Farm Board.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Staf Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 1.-Grains broke
unevenly as the Board Of Trade
opened today, dropping minor frac-
tons to more than a point as sell
ing poured in on the prospects OF
cooler weather in the west and as q
result of heavy rains in Canada
Weakness at Liverpool was a fac
tor.
The farm board statement disap-
pointed many traders who had been
optimistic Of a complete morato-
rum on the government holdings
Corn slid off sharply with little
support. Oats had a small trade
but was irregular.
Liverpool Sells OFF
AT the opening wheat was Il tc
Is cents lower; corn was Il to IL
cents off, and oats were 4 to l cent
down. Provisions were about
steady in a slow trade.
Liverpool was lower than ex-
pected, losing sc by mid-afternoon
The trade viewed the announce
ment Of the farm board made late
last night that it would limit its
sales to 100000 bushels monthly
excluding export sales now under
way, as moderately bulliSh. Against
this were indications that the heat
wave is being broken In the north
west and at several points in that
territory temperatures have fallen
20 degrees. No wheat was delivered
on July contracts this morning
which surprised the trade.
Oats Badly Damaged
The continued high temperatures
are holding corn prices up despite
heavy profit taking and the fact
that no actual damage has been
reported. Deliveries this morning
were 1,175,000 bushels, which was
more than had been, expected.
Damage reports on oats have been
widespread. It is difficult to meas
ure the effect Of the excessive heat
until the crop has been cut. But all
are agreed that the injury has beer
severe. Deliveries were 47,00C
bushels.

Air Business Better

BIZ ScripDs-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Ru-
mors circulated about the country
that air travel has fallen off so per
cent since the Rockne crash are
false, investigation of air traffic
figures shows.
AS matter Of fact, passenger
traffic has increased on most of the
air lines since the Transcontinenta
6S Western airplane carried the IA
nous football coach and seven
others to their deaths in Kansas on
March 81.
Only one of the large lines has
reported a decrease-T. g. w. A.
And that decrease, according to Of
ficials of the lire, was due largely
to bad weather during April.
