NEW WATER ROUTE
CALLED WASTEFUL'
St. Lawrence Plan Endan-

Hearing Is Told.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representatives of railroad interests
today re-emphaSized before a Senate
subcommittee opposition to the st. Law
renee waterways treaty between the
United states and Canada.
Fred N. Oliver, general counsel of
the Security Owners Association. COM
posed of owners of railroad securities,
said the project would further endanger
investments in American railroads, "al-
ready threatened by adverse condi-
tions."
A foreign relations subcommittee,
headed by Senator Borah, Republican,
of Idaho, began hearings on the st.
Lawrence pact yesterday.
Oliver testified after Alfred P. Thorn,
general counsel of the Railway Execu-
tives' Association, who presented the OBJ
jections of the railroads themselves
against the treaty.
Added Facilities ''Wasteful."
Following arguments used by Thorn,
Oliver said: The added facilities pro-
posed are wholly unnecessary and even
wasteful from a public point of view,
and no public good VIII be derived
therefrom."
Outlining financial difficulties of the
railroad, Oliver said:
"The problem now facing the Ameri-
can people is whether or not the exist
ing abundance of transportation facili-
ties will be able profitably to survive
rather than new facilities should be
created.
1T seems to us that there is no justi-
fication whatsoever for vast expendi-
lures by the Government for the pur-
pose of developing competition for our
present facilities, thereby lending aid to
their more complete destruction"
Oliver said the Government was now
aiding three competing types of trans

NEW YORK, June 18. U.P)-That

yesterday, in which the Brewers de-
feated the mighty New York Yam
KEGS, may have been the semi-of-
ficial test Of MilWaukee's possibil-

the leaders of the American League,
10 to 9, in IL innings.
For some time, Milwaukee fans
have been hoping that their city
will 5upersede st. Louis in the Am

prosperous stand in the American
association. St Louis is one of the
weak sisters in the American
League.
Phil Ball, president of the
Browns, also is owner of the Mil
waukee club. The Browns are prov
ing too costly a toy for him. He

cause he owns both clubs, it would
seem a simple matter to substi-

OPENING CARD AT ARENA MAKES
HIT WITH VALLEY BOXING FANS

around the ring in the second bout,
when Rod Alcantero and Ray
Rivera battled to a draw. 1t was
good decision and a rattling
good fight as both boys Travelled
at top speed, threw heavy punches
and gave their best at all times.
Alcantero had the edge in the
first part of the fight but slowed
up in the last two rounds while
Rivera forged ahead. The latter
had the fans with him for his ef-
forts to overcome the lead which he
knew the Filipino had, and the
draw decision was greeted with
applause.
Mission Bolo and Nick Raya
started off the evening with a
fight that was good enough for any
man who wants to watch a pre-
liminary. Bolo, tough and rough
Filipino, seemed a bit too heavy
and hard for his opponent but
Nick kept after him and passed
him long before the fight ended.
He swarmed over the Filipino in
the last round and gave him
enough to take the decision with
out any room for argument.
While the arena was not filled,
there was better than a good
crowd present and those who may
have stayed away in the belief that
the card was not so much, lost out
on a good program.

substitute oarsmen of the various

Meantime the experts had set

ing as to the possible outcome.
Syracuse, fifth in the 1881 race,
won by navys surprisingly strong
eight, generally has been regarded
as the most likely winner. Cornell,
California and Washington are the
other universally well regarded.
Despite the drubbing that Wash
ington took from California earlier
in the summer, rowing men here
regard the boatload directed by
Coach Al Ulbrickson as the more
formidable Of the western entries
Reasons for this regard are diff
cult to find, especially in view Of
the fact that Washington has not

California is rated as a crew with
tremendous power. Some of the
veterans among the rowing men
here believe, however, that Califor-
MAS present rowing style may be
best suited to the long ride. The
Bears do not have quite as much
swing as Washington, and the
Huskies' layback is shorter than

JACK And MAX
PLAN TO CLOSE
TRAINING TODAY
By STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, June 19. - Max
Schmeling and Jack Sharkey put
on their gloves today for a final
session of serious training while
the ballyhooeyed controversy over
a referee and lin the bag" charges
was allowed to soak in among the
so-called followers of the boxing
game.
Schmeling planned four or five
rounds of light pastime at his
Kingston camp, while Sharkey at
Orangeburg, was listed fer half a
dozen rounds.
The German also had some social
obligations The varsity crew of
the University OF Pennsylvania, in
training nearby for the Pough-
keepsie regatta of Monday was
scheduled to call on Schmeling as
did the navy academy oarsmen a
couple of days ago.
The referee controversy" was an
almost one sided affair today but
echoes Of charges made by Joe
Jacobs, manager of Schmeling. were
expected momentarily from the
Sharkey camp.
Thus far the incident has been
confined to some statements by
Jacobs that are "knockoutsp as
sport page headlines. and an econ
omy Of comment from James j.
Farley, chairman of the New York
State Boxing commission.
Jacobs has asserted that if the
commission names one of several
members Of the official referee staff
he will not allow his charge to enter
the ring. He said that ugly rumors
of the fight, being "in the bag"
for Sharkey had caused the decis-
ion. No referee has been an
nounced.
Jacobs said the commission would
have to abide by his decision be-
cause it will not dare disappoint the
expected crowd by declaring the
fight forfeit.
Schmeling may come down on
Monday afternoon and would re-
main overnight in a Midtown hotel
Sharkey wouldn't dare attempt
such a thing. He has difficulty
sleeping in strange bed. Schmel-
ing could sleep on a plank.
