BETTER BATTLES BRING MORE MONEY

Activities of Dempsey, Camera, LOugfran Aid to Game Now - Re- Ceipts Going Up
By l.. s. CAMERON L1nifed 19resa Snorrs Eflifnrl

 New York, Dec 11--Buxing once we'll on the high road towards its former prominence.
 The death of Tex Rickard, de- feats of Dempsey and retirement of Tunney, added to false values of fighters worth, served to send boxing into terrific decline.
 Today the sport is healthier. Box office figures are an absolute indication of the status of the game. Boxing box office receipts of late have shown a gradual re- turn and in two recent contests sur- prisingly large attendances have been reported.
 Not So Bad.
 These large draws were found at the ia-Lev:nsky slugfest at the Chicago Stadium and at the lightweight championship bout be- tween Canzoneri and Chocolate in Madison Square Garden, New York. The Chicago bout drew 17,500 spectators, and $62,000. The Gar den event attracted 19,500 and $83,000. Those are real crowds and real receipts for indoor shows. Behind the upturn are many fac- tors. Probably the chief one is the realization on the part of leading promoters that even a fight fan can do the worm act and turn against them. Tn the heyday of Dempsey and Rickard and the mil- lion-dol1ar gate the idea got across that any pair of boxers was good enough for the suckers. Now, how eveh, some consideration of the show. The fighters, in turn, realiz- ing they won't net themselves some tens of thousands of dollars by the simple expedient of drawing on q pair of gloves and have shown an increasing willingness to fight of- tener and for smaller purses.
 Aiding Factors.
 Return to frequent activity of Tommy Loughran has helped the game. Jack Dempsey's impending comeback attempt which is expect ed to follow his present exhibitions has fascinated boxing fans. The curious bouts of Primo Camera also have stirred interested. While one may have nothing but scorn for some of the incidents which have surrounded Carnera's appear ances it's undoubtedly true that he has increased interest in the ring.

THE STANDING

The wet weather Wednesday night instead of dampening the ar- dor of the league members seemed to put added pep in the boys, re- sulting in some red hot and close battles. Yes, the gang still con- tinues to carry on in that c. l.. & P. Co style for which this league of ours is noted. It was like a three ring circus each team vieing to keep it's particular alleys in the spotlight. Upsets? Yes, there were several, but you can expect anything in this game, especially in league like ours where the com petition Is pretty dern keen.
 Well, what do you know! The pack has a new leader this week. Yes, Bus Wallace's wrecking crew threw . wet blanket over the Martyrs and smothercd them for four points. Ouch! How 1t hurt They passed the Nelson steamrol- lers who lost { points to Heitman's Comedians. The Comedians were anything but funny to the Nelson clique. Joe Galipeau still manages to keep his TrOubadOurs near the top of the heap. J0e's gang spanked the Breny Tdii LWisters d points. Another team that keeps within shooting distance of first place Is the Murphy Foxes. The sly ones team emerged with J points; their victims being the
 Dare Devils plloted by Si Diviles'

 For the second consecutive week Si DiViliskis came through with the high three prize. The way thit boy kept marking them up caused the pin boys to think that Si had a
 cyclone concealed in that right
 wing of his. His 362 was in .
 class by itself.

 week is Bob Snow. This lad turned in three pretty games. especially the second string which was the chief reason that his team got the nod in this game. Joe Pilkingtoil confidcd to us that the reason Bot

Until such time as we are forcibly restrained we will contin- ue to broadcast from Station B-L-A-H, operated by The c. L. x F. Co. bowling league.

 We have with us this week none other than John Joy, who has signed up as a permanent member of the league. This is not Johns first experience in c. l.. & F. Co. bowling circles, as he was charter member of the first power league that held forth some years back. We are all glad to see you back with us, John.

Rail Heads Accept in Principle.

4 After . preliminary reaction Of disap-

and united effort, in substitution for a
lat freight rate increase, which had
Been asked by the carriers, the Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives has moved
81 the direction Of such a measure. At
d meeting held yesterday at Atlantic
City the association appointed COM
rnattee. to suggest to the commission
notifications OF the plan for pooling
OF revenues accruing from increased
rates ON specified commodities for the
assistance Of the roads that are unable
60 meet their fixed charges. This ac-
ton is regarded as an acceptance in
principle of the commissions decision,
leaving the way open for the rail execu-
tives and the commission to get together
on q practicable and legal plan for put
ting the pooling arrangement into effect.
The chief objection to the commits
sion's psSn appears to be that the in
creased revenues from change Of rates
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-10-23

In specified commodities would be gifts
to the roads that are In straits. The
desire Of the rail executives Is to ind
a method Of pooling that will be on the
basis Of loans rather than gifts. A stip-
ulation may be insisted upon that in
the event of the pooling Of the added
revenues, for loan to the weaker lines,
no borrower shall be allowed to pay
dividends on its stock until 1t has first
repaid the borrowed money. The reso-
luton adopted by the association states
that the commissions project will be
undertaken with the understanding that
the plan should be based as far as pos
sible on the principle of self-help,
agencies to administer the proceeds Of
the increased rates"
The commission orders that the rail-
roads shall return before December with
plan to put the pooling arrangement
into effect 1t Is expected that In good
season such q plan will be formulated,
probably along the lines of regarding
the advances as loans. Should it be
necessary to go to Congress for legis-
lstion, on either the pooling plan or
upon some method Of meeting the heavy
bond liabilities that will soon mature,
there will be time to prepare the case
for presentation to the legislative body.
The public is not Immediately con-
cerned with the details Of any pooling
plan that may be devised whether as
a direct gift or on a loan basis. 1t
does, however, expect the roads and the
commission to get together in some
manner to effect the relief required for
those lines that are unable to meet
their flxed charges. And it does en-
phatically approve the commissions
refusal Of fiat increase in rates. Fur
thermore. 1t hopes that the roads will
not undertake to reduce costs Of opera
ton by drastic reductions in the wage
scale, save as a last resort to prevent
further losses.
If business revives generally through
out the country the railroads will share
in the increase Of prosperity. Rate in
creases on the nat basis, regardless OF
commodities, and wage cuts on a broad
scale will not serve to that end. Ener-
gency measures should be devised with
the view Of contributing TO the restora-
ton of confidence. The railroad execu-
tives have now acted in conformity with
this hypothesis in their acceptance OF
the principle Of the commissions plan.
