LARRIVEE- JOHNNY ZAWACKE TOP RING
 BOUTS THIS WEEK
Stellar Mddleweights at Lakewood - Sampson and Archie Fight Again McLarn-TOrOntO Booked

Johnny Zawacki, the Paterson, N J. middleweight, who was billed for a crack at Leo Larrivee in Madison Square Garden last month and had to forego it, gets the chance again this week. John has agreed to come into Leos back yard and fight him. so the pair have been signed to head a stellar fight program scheduled for Saturday night at Lakewood stadium under the Waterbury A. c. banner. zIt was necessary to secure re- lease of both contracts from Match maker Tom McArdle of the Garden and to postpone Larrivee's next Bos- ton appearance from June 22 to the 29th in order to assure the pair meeting in Waterbury, but the mat ter has been strengthened out with the result that real scrap can be counted on, according to reports of Zawackie's punching ability in and around New York. Leo is ready to go again after a slight injury, and If he gets half the opposition he ex- poets, it should be great number.
 Return Special
 Aside from the main number, which will play to the state Eagles convention delegates who happen to be fight fans, the card has plenty of promise. That Marty Sampson Bat ting Archie leather novelty which stole the show for action last week is in again. this time for eight rounds as the semi-flnal bout. It means a battle of two strong right hands with either liable to win, as Sampson's margin of victory last week was confined to three points, on the referees scorecard.
 What A Bout!
 It is hard to find two big boys all most identical in boxing style and hitting ability, but such has been &C., complished with the signing of Jerry McLarn, the Watertown walloper, and Mike Tcroto of Bridgeport All either of the contestants know Is how to hit, but they can do that in a manned that will get you on your feet. The bout is natural for Mo- Larn has improved his ring knowl- edge enough to be an even match for the Park City better The one that can take it best will win, for both can give plenty. McLarn's now fa- nous shift may bother Toronto, but Mike can hit from all angles and you can bet it will be worth looking at.
 Arnold Strong
 Young Joe Arnold of Brooklyn gets real test this week in meeting Andy Strong. the Washington, Connecticut hero. Both Joe and Andrew had rather soft pickings last week, each scoring teachnical knockouts. and should show something against each other
 Those Rivals!
 Last but decidedly not least, Freddy Freeman of Watertown and Kid Hershey Bar are in for a four round battle that is sure to get the customers in rare good humor for what is to follow.

Handicapped by weak pitching, the Yankees are running poor third in the American campaign, nine and one half game behind the race set ting Philadelphia Athletics and six and onehalf contests back of the Washington Senators. With the Sena-. tors playing excellent ball and the Athletics showing no signs of crack ing, Mccarthy can hardly hope to better the present position of the team.
 Twlrling Trouble
 Given one or two dependable hurlers, the Yankees probably would give the Senators and Athletics a seems to be improving as the home run king goes along, and Ben Chap man and Lou Gehrig also have been doing timely work at the plate, but even the hard hitting of the team has failed to overcome the handi- cap of weak pitching.
 The Yankees were defeated by De- troit, 4 to ? in ten innings yesterday. Sorrell of the Tigers allowed only six hits while Lefty Gomez weakened in the closing innings, allowing the Tigers to tie the count in the ninth and to score two more runs in the tenth.

Facts and Figures

A survey of almost 100 colleges summarized in Bulletin 26, issued bv the foundation, indicates the dam ger signals to the leading college sport in dwindling gate receipts and smaller attendances on the training field and at traditional "pep meet ings' before major contests.
 The report found the decline in intercollegiate interest balanced by the growing participation in intra- mural sports which If developed may easily result in new phase of intercollegiate competition impor- tant chiefly for its spontaneous sup port by undergraduate players with more genuine enjoyment for con- testants."
 Some Improvement
 Many of the objectionable features of intercollegiate athletics, criticized in the famous Bulletin 23 issued by the foundation three years ago have been improved, the report indicates. The practices now drowned upon in- clude subsidation of athletes, schol- arships and other recruiting"

tariffs and competition, that Europe
can pay us only in goods and that
we hamper her in that, that declin-
ing commodity prices have increased
the burden Of both reparations and
debts payments and eventually bene-
fitted the United States, and that debt
payments to this country now amount
only to about six per cent of the
treasury's ordinary receipts.
Theory VS.. Practice
Few persons ever have taken seri-
ously our governments Official posi-
ton that the debts bore no relation
to the reparations payments. Under
the Young plan s26, 900 ,000, 900 is to
be collected from Germany and under
the debt-funding agreements $780,
C00,0 ,000-the same money-will be
paid to the United States. The Young
plan also provides that when and if
this country RENTS any Of the debts,
most of the benefit will be passed
onto Germany.
Meanwhile, as an ethical point, it
is sometimes stressed that less than
a third Of Germany's payments for
PREPARATIONS actually is used for re-
paration of war damage to Allied
countries. And that most of the re-
parations payments from Germany
are passed right on to the United
States, which refused to have any,
thing to do with PREPARATIONS at the
peace conference.
The Moral Argument
Other moral arguments, subject to
controversy and thus far quite inef-
~fectiVe, are that many postwar his
torians and other students have
denied the charge of German war
guilt on which ~reparations are based,
that We were ready to turn over bill
lions to the Allies whether it would
ever be repaid Or not and that the
money lent should be regarded rs our
contribution to the war cause when
our military unpreparedness made
loans the only means by which we
could leap quickly into the struggle.
Our future attitude toward debts
and reparations is certain to be based
on what our statesmen consider
Americas self-interest. The question
Of where our self-interest really lies,
however, may prove a vexatioLs and
controversial point for years to come.
