The waziri behind the bona wall, schooled
and disciplined by Tarzan Of the Apes had long
since discarded these preliminaries so dear to
the hearts of other warlike tribes Instead, they
stood stold and grim, awaiting the coming Of
the foe. Lady Greystoke issued orders, telling
the three whites all armed, to take places
among the Waziri. She spoke as one accustom-

tomorrow at Belmont Park,
when George D. Wideners

bids for Twenty Grand's 3-year-old title
in the sixty-third running of the Bel
mont Stakes.
Probably three or four other 3-year-
olds will start the mile-and-a-half jour-
ney around the Belmont oval, but the
race shapes up strictly as q battle be-
tween the Widener star and the Ken
lucky Derby winner, which will carry
the silks Of Mrs. Payne Whitney's
Greentree Stable.

WALKER, SHARKEY
FIGHT IN MAKING
Johnston Predicts This Go
win Draw Better Than
Strib-Max Affair.

N YEW YORK. June 12.-Jack
M Kearns will shortly sign the
v papers that will result In q
match between Mickey Walker
and Jack Sharkey for the Milk Fund at
Ebbetts Field on July ~.
This fight undoubtedly will be
stamped as a heavyweight champion
ship affair by the New York Boxing
Commission. To obtain the shot at
Sharkey 1t will be necessary for Wal
ker to make formal surrender Of the
middleweight title. Mickey Should not
balk at that. He has allowed the mid
dleweight crown to acquire Q coat Of
rust in the last few years. 1t means
little now.
Madison Square Garden would be
happy to promote a Sharkey -Loughron
fight at the Yankee Stadium this Sum-
mer. No chance of that, though. Jimmy
Johnston has Sharkey hooked for three
fights exclusively.
johnson predicts the Sharkey-Walker
fight will outdraw the Schmeling- -Strib.
ling affair in Cleveland on July 8. both
in customers and dollars. Johnston says
he can seat $4,000 on the field, $4,000 In
the stands and take care OF 10000
standees for a gate Of possibly . half
million.
Prof. William McCarney, in town for
a few days after pounding the drum for
the Cleveland brawl, contends that
Johnston is decidedly on his base in
making such prediction.
"Schmeling and stribling will draw
$500, 900, maybe more" txplodes the
professor. Cleveland and the sur
rounding territory are falling hard for
the fight. One order alone called for
$65. 900 worth of tickets, and the money
came along with the order. Another
single order was good for $4,000. May
be Schmeling and Stribling do not mean
much in New York, but out around
Cleveland they are red hot. That's all
that is necessary. You don't think New
York patronage made the big gate for
Tunney and Dempsey in Chicago. Go
you? The money was drawn from Chi
cago and the surrounding territory, just
as Schmeling and Stribling will draw
it from Cleveland and the cities and
towns within a radius Of few hum
dred miles"

Listening Post:
BY Walter Trumbull-

THE Belmont stakes tomorrow may
\ be q small race from the point of
entries, but 1t will be q big affair
from the angle Of interest. This is sup
posed to be q duel between Twenty
Grand and jamestown, and should be,
but most Of US have been peering at
spcrt contests too long to take 1t for
granted that anything is certain.
Twenty Grand might have an attack
Of indigestion. jamestown might step
on banana peel. An outsider might
gallop home ahead. But the chances
are not in that direction. We know that
both Twenty Grand and jamestown
have the speed. We know that Twenty
Grand has the stamina. We guess at
anything further.
This stake race for the cream Of the
3-year- -olds has great tradition. AZ
ricander won it. and so did Delhi. Peter
Pan, Colin, the Finn, Friar Rock, Sir
Barton. Man o. War, Grey Lag, Zev,
American Flag, Crusader. Blue Lark
spur and Gallant Fox. Those are only
few names out of long and splendid
list, but some of those names are among
the brightest of racing history. It is a
rich race, and a great race. There are
memories at the starting line, and glcry
at the finish.

YESTERDAY the Potomac River was
II almost boiling with mud, but to-
day, its condition Is very much
improved It is not clear, but there
Is vast improvement, and II we
do not have more rain, especially over
the Monocacy River region, It should
be fishable by tomorrow or Sunday.
Al large number of small rock were
caugi1t the first Of the week, but as yet
no large ones have been landed: AS
matter of fact, the largest rockfish re-
ported to Rod and Stream SO far was
one weighing 5 pounds, caught about
two weeks ago.
Next Monday marks the opening OF
the bass season IN Virginia. The Vir-
ginia law requires a license to fish any
where in fresh tidswater or above tide
water Anglers seeking the large-mouth
bass in the creeks and coves OF the
Lower Potomac must first obtain Vir-
ginia fishing license. These licenses
may be purchased at the A. A. A. OF at
the Atlas Sports Goods Co. The cost
of a license for non-residentS is IS.
This Virginia license, however, does
not permit the angler to fish in the Po-.
tomac above tidewaCer, or in other
words. above Little Falls. Maryland
controls the Potomac to the Virginia
shors, but the Virginian with his fish-
ing license can stand On his shore and
catch bass without interference. He
cannot, however. get IN boat and go
out on the river to FISH without Mary
land license. While the Virginia low
opens its season to bass fishing on June
Is. the Maryland season does not open
until July l.

N Dalecarlia Reservoir the first Of
the week. landed five bass. The
largest, weighing 2ia pounds, was 4
small mouth. His catch consisted of
three large mouth and two small mouth
bass and two crappie. He flshed IN the
north end Of the reservoir, using arti-
fetal bait. To FISH IN this reservoir 1t
is necessary to secure permit from the
War Department.
Capt. Daniel p. Ball at Neavitt, Md,
over on the Eastern Shore, sent In the
following letter:
Il can give you better report this
week. Quite a number Of boats were
out fishing, and think they all had q
fair catch. One boat returned with
catch of 40 hardheads and l trout.
I had a party of Washingtonians out
and they made catch OF 80 hard
heads"
Two District of Columbia anglers
fishing at Brooms Island last Sunday
larfied 19 hardheads weighing from 2
to !: pounds. These anglers used blood
worfHs and shrimp as bait. They re-
ported that another boat which return
ed at the same time they did had
catch of 29 hardheads. Capt. Gormley
Elliott was their guide.
Can't. Noah Hazard has established
headquarters on the long pier at Chesa-
peake Beach. He reports that fishing Is
looking I'D these days. Many crabbers
are enjoying good sport on the pier.
Capt. Oscar at North Beach has his
pier and crab house ready, and from

ed on to the consumers, or has this $780,
900 been converted into coin of the realm
to benefit the wholesale shippers of gasol-
inc? Has there been a sufficient drop in pric-
es of gasoline in this part OF the State to
lead us to believe that the benefit of the re-
duced freight has been passed on to the con-
sumers of gasoline2 This profit does not go
into the pockets Of the local distributors.
While on the subject of railroad rates,
there is one thought that occurs to us and
which will soon become one for most tax
PAYERS to wrestle with, and it is this: What
would happen to any county in Montana, or
any state for that matter, if the railroads
should fail to pay their taxes for just one
year2 They are charging outrageously high
freight rates in our estimation, but their tax
es are also exceedingly high. Better roads,
which the railroads help to build through
taxes will soon bring a fleet of trucks into
this territory to do our ~freighting.
Why not reduce the freight rates so
that the trucks cannot compete with this line
of commerce.
1t has been suggested that the trucking
companies should be taxed on their freight
receipts, as they are not paying tor the roads
which have been or are now being built at
the expense of taxpayers and which will at
the present rate, soon reach amount expend-
ed in railroad building. Will this solve the
situation2 We think not. 1t will not lower
our present freight rates, and the public will
keep on paying.
We believe that unless the railroads
reduce their freight rates, that the time will
come when they too, will be unable to pay
their taxes. If they will reduce their rates
the trucking companies will have to suspend.
and in that way they will again do all of the
freighting and will always be in position to
meet their taxes. Also, in such an event the
huge trucks that contribute so much towards
wearing down our good roads will not trav-
Ell over our highways and the cost of keeping
up our roads will be reduced accordingly.

when he got $40 a month. Women did not

the manufacturers of automobiles when they
had sold everyone a car they would have
quit.
A merchant. even though he is the only
merchant in his locality, can make money
by advertising, because by advertising he
increases his sales. He can lead his custom
ers to buy more, to buy the new things that
come on the market. He can stimulate de-
sire and creae demand and thus increase his
sales and his profits. 1t is the modern mer-
chandising way. 1t is good business.
We happen to have some figures on
the Ford and Chevrolet car sales for 1880,
but unfortunately do not have it for the
other standard makes where the manufac-
utrers advertised heavily, but the facts show
that in 1880 in spite of the hard times, the
sales of Ford and Chevrolet automobiles ex-
ceeded that of any previous year, and the
only way it was made possible was through
advertising.
