WASHINGTON STORE
SALES ANALYzED
Dollar Volume in First Seven
Months of Year Is Off
1854 Per Cent.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Sales in Washington department
stores during the first seven months of
the present year averaged 16.4 per cent
less in dollar amount than sales in the
corresponding period last year, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Richmond re-
ported this noon. This was a better
showing than any other city in the fifth
district attained and was also above
the record for the cities grouped to-
gether, this aggregate figure standing
at 20 per cent under last year
The Richmond bank also reported the
July trade figures for the fifth district
which showed retail trade in Wash
ington 27.1 per cent lower than in the
same month a year ago. This figure
was surpassed only by Huntington w.
Va, where trade was off only 20.5
per cent. Norfolk had the hardest busi-
ness luck during July, sales being down
40 per cent from July, 1881.
Percentage sales in fifth district cities
in which three or more stores reported
are compared with July year ago

 Sure they got capable men in New York, but I'm telling you if I hear the rumors I expect to hear on the night of the fight and if the commission names one of the men 1t may name, my man is going to remain in the dressing room."4
 The suggestion was made that the commission might declare the title vacant and award 1t to Shar- key. Jacobs laughed.
 With an those people there? Don't you believe 1t. They'd have to name q man suitable to me and they'd have to like it."

TUNNEY THINKS
 TITLE BOUT WILL REACH THE LIMIT
Sharkey Has Big Edge and Max Will Have to "Wear Him Down" to Win

T think that the schmellng and Sharkey bout in the new Madison Square Garden bowl in Long Island City on Tuesday night will be the greatest heavyweight fight fin years," Gene Tunney, the retired heavyweight champion, declared In an interview to-day.
 "Sharkey is a great boxer, but both he and the spectators are gO- ing to find that Sohmeling is a trea mendously improved fighter over the man that Sharkey battered and cuffed around the ring at the Yan- kee Stadium two years ago. wouldn't miss seeing 1t myself for anything.
 Improved
 "Schmeling. in the past two years has become q harder, a more dam aging hitter when a man is coming In at him than Sharkey is. He also has developed a fine defense. Those who think that Sharkcy is going to make the fight one -sided are mis- taken, Inf sure.
 My own guess Is that the bout will go the entire IS rounds. I don't anticipate a knockout. Schmeling will find Sharkey hard to knock out because Sharkey Is a clever boxer and will have more respect for Schmeling than he had two years ago. Sharkey will have to be more careful and he un- doubtedly realizes that.
 "schmeling also will be difficult to knock out, first because of his improvement at defensive fighting. and secondly because he is pos- sessed of an extraordinary cour- age, determination and stead- fastness of purpose. You might also call 1t chivalry to himself. No referee ever will count Max Schmeling out while Schmeling is able to hear the counting.
 Jack Has Edge
 "Sharkey will have the advan- tage of being a better boxer and a better hitter. Sharkey can pro- tect himself better than Schmel- ing and sharkey knows more about fighting. Schmeling will have to wear him down If he's to win.
 "As a result, I think. the end of the 18th round will lind both fighters on their feet.
 If there Ss a decrease In inter- est in heavyweight fighting now adays as compared to five or ten years ago." Tunney added, T don't think 1t is because the fight CTS are inferior, but because their
