CLEAR RECORD

Gino Garibaldi. Italian beho-
moth, who meets Pat O'Shocker
in Joe Turner'S weekly pulling and
hauling tournament at Griffith
Stadium tomorrow night, will not
only be scrapping for a crack at
Jim Londos' crown, but will also
be in there to keep his local rec
ord unbesmirched.
Since Signor Gino became the
current mat craze. he has yet to
lose a decision and in such an
unimparted state of effectiveness
he wishes to approach his bout
with Londos, when and if such an
opportunity presents itself. Mean
while O'Shocker has sent word
ahead to Washington that his
Irish will be up when he meets the
italian and that if any of the
present crop gets that chance at
Jeems, it will be Harp by the
name of O'Shocker.
However, all of the explosions
will not be confined to the Cara
baldi-O'Shocker Setto, because
none other than George Zaharias
has promised to strike fire and
birthstone when he tangles with
Floyd Marshall, who is no pigmy
himself. Zaharias recently broke
into the limelight locally by chal-
longing all comers to stay with
him 80 minutes. None did. Chief
Whitefeather will be back with
his very worst scowl. Son Jen-
nings, to be the particular target
thereof. Abe Coleman takes on
Buck OleSon as does Jack Hurley

BALKL|NE \ D "
LOOMING AS
LOST ART

Is balkline billiards-the high.
est type of all cue games-be-
coming a lost art?
For more than three years-not
since February Is, 1929, to be
exact-there has been no cham
pionship competition between
world masters at 1872 balkline.
At that time, in a tournament
staged at the Level Club in New
York, Jake Schaefer won the
world title from a field that in
cluded Welker Cochran. Erich
Hagenlacher, Kinney Matsuyama,
of Japan; Felix Grange, of France;
and Edouard HoremanS, of Bel
gium.
This field included all the &C
knowledged world masters except
Willie Hope and Roger Cont, OF
France.
Never Defends Title
Since that tourney at the Level
Club, Jake Schaefer never has
been called upon to defend his
title. Nor has he engaged in any
serious competition except in a
national professional three-cush-
ion tourney in which his showing
justified the belief that he was
not qualified to compete at that
style of game in championship
play. Even Schaefer himself &C
knowledged this when he declared
that hereafter he would confine
his efforts to balkline.
The reason Schaefer has not
found it necessary to defend his
1872 title lies in the fact that he
has received a large annual sal,
ary from the National Billiard
Association of America.
Sponsored by Factory
This association, known COM
monty to the cue profession as
the N. B. A.. was organized, fos-
tered and supported by a manu-
featuring concern, which has
practical monopoly in the busi-
ness Of building and selling bill
lard tables and equipment.
The N. B. A, or its sponsor,
formerly paid annual salaries to
a half dozen or more of the lead
ing cue experts. 1t also put up all
the cash prizes for championship
competition. aturally, this
tended to take the sport out Of
billiards and put it on a COM
mercialized basis. The N. B. A.
became dictator of balkline.
Hoppe, Cochran, Hagenlacher and
most of the others who had been
receiving nice fat salaries we're
dropped from the payrolls for one
reason or another.

PRIMO RIOTERS
BOO VERDICT

NEWARK, N. j., Aug, II
Stanley Poreda today has two
pretty good scalps dangling to
his belt. His recent victory over
Eernie Schaaf has been aug
mented by a 10-round triumph
over Primo Carnera.
Stanley didn't kill any giants
at Newark's Dreamland Park last
night, but he did shade Carnera.
Joe Mangold, of Atlantic City,
lifted Poreda's gloved right hand
at the finish, indicating that he
had adjudged Poreda the winner
The verdict didn't please the
Camera rooters one bit, and they
booed long and loud.
My score had them even in
four rounds, with each man TAX
ing three rounds.
Primo was the aggreSsor, too
much so for his own point score
good, perhaps, as the referee eau
toned Carnera many times for
using his elbows while attempt
ing to uppercut at close quarters.
The Italian giant didn't use his
elbows deliberately, but when
Poreda fell inside of Primo'S long
arms he lay so close to the big
mans body that Primo's entire
arms rasped Poreda's head as
Cameras fists ripped upward for
the punch. Poreda fought smart
ly. even against Primo'S amazing
size and strength. On the other
hand. Primo's speed was astonish-
ing for one of his size.
The receipts we're estimated at
$4,000. the crowd numbering
about 10000.

NEW YORK, April 20 G.N.S0
Only Kansas and North Carolina
voted dry in the final returns of

Thirty-three States and the
District of Columbia signified
their wet propensities by a vote
of more than 81. New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut
showed an even greater ratio in
favor of repeal. A comparison
with the poll of two years ago

Prof. Irving Fisher. Yale econ

the position of Secretary of the
Treasury Mills in opposition to
immediate payment of the bal
ance of the World War veterans
adjusted service certificates.
Fisher testified:
II see two chief objections to
the Patman bill. First, that it
would pay what is not due and,
second, that it might further
impair confidence, and by i'm
pairing confidence be deflation-
ary, not inflatiOnary.
What we need is relation
that is, initiation justified be-
cause it cOunteracts recent

DALI IN BATTLE
OVER Ol7H

DUBLIN, April y G.N.So.-By
a. vote of 78 to 72. che Dali Ereann
today adopted 2 motion by Presi'
dent Eamonn &c Valera calling for
a vote before midnight tomorrow
on the secold reading of his bill
aimed at snolition of the oath Of
allegiance.
Patrick McMilligan, former
minister of external affairs, made
an unsuccessful effort to defeat
the motion. He said:
"'The bill is not an urgent
measure. The government and
the deputies have already
sworn to the bill in RETROSPECT
tive, so it cannot remove them
from the State of sin they are
in because they entered the
DAHL"
An argument between Deputy
James Dillon. opponent of the
bill, and Bait O'Connor, De Va
lera supporter, preclp1CaIed d
furore.
Dillon had declared that in
1919, when several Irishmen were
executed, he wasn't out murder
ing his neighborS.
O'Connor replied that when he
was in Jail at the time he heard
that the irish Nationalists in the
British Parliament had cheered
the announcement of the first
three executions in 1919" Dillon
said:
"That's a damned lie"
Deputy James Coburn, Cos
grave supporter, rushed over to
O'Connor, grabbed him by the
lapel, and shouted:
"O'COnnOr, if yOr were a
younger man / would kill you
where you stand. No one will
insult the Irish party while 1
am here"

JAPAN
UPHOLD PLEA
BY SWANSON
Arms Delegate Tells ParIey
Big Vessels Are Backbone
of American Defense

GENEVA, April 20 G.N.S.).
America scored a victory in
her fight for retention of capi-
tai ships today when represen-
tatives of the United States,
Britain and Japan agreed there
was no reason to demand
abolition of battleships on the
| grounds they were purely ag-
gressive weapons.
The delegates, however, agreed
that their respective nations were
willing to submit to a reduction
in capital ships.
There had been considerable
agitation for their complete
abolition, but Senator Claude A.
Swanson, a member Of the Amer.
lean delegation, vigorously de-
Tended them as "the backbone Of
Americas defense"
Cruisers More Offensive
Vice Admiral A. D. P. Pound,
of the British Admiralty, seconded
SWanson's defense of capital
ships.
Senator Swanson, defending the
battleship, said:
'It is the cheapest arm Of
national defense. 1t constitutes
Americas floating defenSes, and
if abolished would neceSsitate
fOrtificatiOn of our cities at .
vast expense"
Cruisers, Senator Swanson de-
clared, are more offensive weap-
ons than battleships, owing to
their mobility and use for attack
ing commerce.
Voices Optimism
Swanson injected an optimistic
tone into his address, saying he
had learned the chances of France
and Italy settling their differ
enceS and signing the London
Naval Treaty were improving. He
said:
"This affords the best sOIu-
tiOn for the problem of naval
limitation"
Baron Won Rheinbaben, Ger.
man member of the commission,
said his country was ready to sac
rifice her pocket battleships" on
the "altar of disarmament" il
other nations would sacrifice their
capital ships.
He defended the pocket battle
ships" as necessary weapons Of
defense in Germany.

LEVY ON BEER
INGREDIENTS
DOUBLED
Excise Tax of 10 Cents a
Gallon on Wort Imposed
BY Committee

After imposing new taxes on
incomes, automobiles, radios,
cosmetics and sporting goods,
the Senate Finance Committee
today struck at beer baronS
and home-brewers.
The tax on beer ingredients
was doubled while the rate on
unfermented grape juice was
boosted 9 cents over the House
tax to II cents a gallon.
An excise tax of 10 cents a
gallon was imposed on wort, used
almost exclusively to manufacture
bootleg and home brew beer. The
House rate was only 5 cents. Malt
was increased from 35 cents to
approximately 46 cents gallon.
The tax on grape concentrate was
raised from 40 to A cents a gal
lon.
Exempted AS Food
Malt and wort will be exempt
from the increased rates when
sold to manufacturers of food
stuffs.
The action of the committee in
stripping all import duties from
the new tax bill threatens to pro-
woke controversy that may keep
Congress in session all summer,
with a. brief adjournment for the
conventions.
A bipartisan coalition from oil
States, led by Senators Short
ridge (R) of California, and Con-
nally CD of Texas, declared
they would debate for two weeks
the exclusion of the oil tariff,
already adopted by the House.
Fight All Summer
Senator Thomas CDO of Okla
homa, another leader in the oil
tariff bloc, declared he would
fight enactment Of the tariffless
bill all summer.
Leaders of the House oil bloc,
which succeeded in getting that
body to adopt rate of l cent
a gallon on imported crude oil,
said they would never permit the
bill to pass if the Senate ap-
proved its committees action.
The whole proceeding was re-
garded as Strategical maneuver
by Republican chieftains to force
Democrats into supporting a
tariff on lumber.
Retains Auto Taxes
Meanwhile, the committee
voted to retain the House taxes
on automobiles, radios, sporting
goods, eras, cosmetics
matches, firearms, shells, jewelry,
furS and mechanical refrigeratorS.
Candy, tobacco, tooth-paSte,
mouth washes, dentifrices, soap
and table Silverware have been
exempted from taxation.
The decision # the committee
to exempt tobacco from the pro-
posed tax increase, although
unanimous, remains tentative. AS
the changes made by the COM
mittee reduce the House esti-
mates approximately SIS, 100000,
1t is possible they will fall back
on tobacco.
