KERRICK

Martin ROnnlng OF f1OlyOke, nearly
lost his house this week. Fire caught
from the chimney and only for quick
work of Martin and Oliver they would
have been looking for house to live
in. AS it was, the damage was con-
fined to small space.
1t has been fine spring for field
work and the work is we'll along on
most all of the farms. Now we want
two things, weather and price.
There is general feeling that but
terfat has reached the bottom and
that this coming winter should see
much better prices. This guess may
be wrong. One guess is as good as
another, but there are arguments in
favor of this being true. There is
much less butter in storage now than
at any time for the past several years.
The new oleOmargarine tax will limit
consumption to some extent. These
factors should tend to create more of
a butter shortage and a consequent
increase in price.
The government says, don't plant
so many potatoes. They ask that
acreage be cut down 10 per cent. Now
let's see who cuts their acreage. One
here and there will, but two will say:
Il am going to add to mine because
so many are cutting" Result: Lots
of spuds and low prices. Maybe that
guess is wrong too, so don't let us in
fluence you.

FEW WAGERS
PLACED On
FIGHT
BY LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, July 2.-Unless
there is a last-minute change in
the odds. Max Schmeling will be
the underdog in the betting when
he makes the first defense Of
his heavyweight title against
Willie Stribling in Cleveland to-
morrow night.
For the first time in nearly o
quarter Of a century, heavy
weight champion will be the long
shot in the betting. Not since
Tommy Burns went to the post
on the short end against Jack
Johnson at Sydney, Australia, in
1908, has q similar situation pre-.
vailed.
At one local commission house
today Stribling was a 6-to-5 fav'
orite to win the title, with
Schmeling's supporters asking a
odds of Z to S.
The only large bet reported
was made earlier in the week
when a group of Germans I'm
Berlin posted $4,000 ON their
cOuntryman with a brokerage
house here. They got only
even money, whereas today
they could ask odds and get
them.
Few New Yorkers will 60 to
Cleveland to see the fight. The

GIANTS
At STADIUM
TONIGHT

There'll be plenty Of fireworks
tonight at the Clark Griffith
Stadium, a sort Of independence
Day celebration.
There won't be any cannon.
sparklers, etc., but there will be
a horde of wrestlers who will try
to send the fans home happy.
These wrestlers have what it
takes to satisfy the hungry fans.
Heading the program will be
the finish affair between Rudy
Dusek, the Nebraska wildcat"
and Wladek ZbyszkO, the Polish
heavyweight who has issued a
sweeping challenge to all the
leading grapplers.
Dusek, learning of zbyszko's
broadside, called his hand and
the two will settle their dispute
tonight. It promises to be a
match chock full Of action.
Many local fans regard Dusek
as the outstanding wrestler OF the
day. They even go so far as to
say he can throw Jimmy LondoS,
if the latter is willing to take on
DuSek again.
There'II also be fireworks
provided in the preliminary
matches on the card. This
should be especially true when
Dick DaviScourt and Earl Nc
Cready climb through the ropes
for their encounter which will
be the semifinaI of the eve
ming. DaviScOurt has reputa-
ton for slugging opponents.
Sander SZabo, the Hungarian
star, makes his first local appear

German dreadnaught. Mike Ro-
mano engages Son Jennings,

No Local Politics

His choice removes unneces-
sary local pride that has been
revealed in the selection in the
past of such referees as Barry,
Gallagher, Crowley, and Mag
nolia.
Schmeling has been training
at Conneaut Lake Park, just
over the Ohio line in Pennsyl.
vania, and Stribling has been
toiling at Geauga Lake, in near.
by Ohio, the latter name being
made to order for the Georgian
who pronounces the name Of
his native State "Geauga."
Be that as it may. both men
declare they will win, and each
asserts he is in the pink. They
always say those things, and
we typewriter fellows always
quote them verbatim.
However, all that will be
left behind when they get in
the ring. and, whatever hap
pens, I hope there is lots of it
and plenty fast withal.

Night Before Xmas

a month ago on the eve of the
Kentucky Derby, the Oldest in
habitants of Louisville were be-
moaning the fact that the mul-
titude would not be there the
next day because it was lot
visible the night before.
But over night special trains
moved into slidingS and common
carriers Swooped down from the
skies and one Of the largest
throngS, if indeed not the
largest, was on hand to see
Twenty Grand romp in as he
pleased.
And so we say, at this writ
ing, that the most ponderous
thing about the whole mater
righv now, is the stadium where
the gladiators will meet. If
wise folks hereabouts are not
speaking through their pana.

RENO, Nevada, July 2.-The
big rush for tickets for the Max
Baer-Paolina Uzcudun 20-round
fight here Saturday afternoon is
expected tomorrow night. The
fans will come by automobiles and
special trains.
The bouncing basque promised
to put Baer away within ten
rounds. Baer says the same.
Both fighters are in superb shape.
Even Jack Dempsey, who is pro-
noting the bout, doesn't know
which to pick and he's going to
referee their meeting.
The Washington times., 1931-07-02
Referee Is o. K.

One can only get an agree
ment Of thought on but sim
gle phase of this fight tomor-
row night. and that concerns
the referee.
Some will tell you Max
Schmeling will retain his title.
and we are inclined at the
moment to agree with them,
while others will say Stribling
will win; but all hands are salts
fled with. the choice of the
referee who is Aone other than
George Blake, of Los Angeles, a
gentleman whose record as third
man in a ring is impeccable.
Blake has been officiating
out on the coast since 1905, and
not a fan on the far shore Of
this land would ever dream Of
questioning an edict coming
from his lips. The selection of
q referee from such distant
parts at least removes the tight
from local politics.

STR|B READY
FOR MATCH
WITH MAX

GEAUGA LAKE, Ohio, July 2
Complete rest and inactivity
marked this lakeside training
camp today as Young Bill Strib-
ring, the Georgian boxer. anxiously
watched the hours pass, waiting
for tomorrow night when he mixes
punches with Max Schmeling in
Cleveland for the worlds heavy
weight title.
Young Bill went through his
last workout last night, a last
minute affair which was added
to the training grind by Pa, the
head of the Stribling clan, after
Tuesdays drill which originally
was to have ended the sessions.
1t merely was a perfunctOry
workout, with the American
challenger stepping five rounds
of rope skipping, bag punching
and shadow boxing for the bene-
fit of a few fans.
Before the workout started,
Strib weighed 1873 pounds, the
weight he hopes to make for the
fight tomorrow night.
At the end of the session, Pa
announced that the straining was
all over and that Strib would rest
completely until the fight.
"He is in perfect condition."
Pa said.
Young Bill will go to Cleveland
for the weighing.in ceremonies to-
night and then return for another
day of rest until the fight.
