Down to 206 pounds and in ex-

The mammoth Italian, fearing stale
ness, expects to go through only two

morrow. and then will take only the
lightest sort Of exercise until the night
of the bout. Primo scales 262 pounds
now, 3 pounds under his best fighting
weight.
Both Sharkey and his challenger, to-
gether with their managers and train
ers. visited the State Athletic Commits
sion Offices yesterday to examine the
6-ounce gloves which the principals will
use. The commission announced at the
same time that authorized officials
would pay close attention to the tapping
of the fighters hands.
Jimmy Johnston, matchmaker for the
Garden. asked permission to use Maxey

This method of curing a slice is
like Bobby Jones method of curing

watch, though is that you don't

Golf Analysed
BY JOE GLASS
THE duffer, finding himself slic-

THE duffer, finding himself slic-
ing, is very likely to face
around more toward the left,
and to try to hit the ball in that
direction. The result is that he
generally slices more than ever. But
more than this he builds up a bad
psychology. For, when he hits
toward the left. he hopes that if he
does not obtain a straight ball his
slice will at least be held in the
fairway He has, in fact, accepted
a slice as being something that he
cannot conquer.
Tommy Armour has good tip for
such a player If-as of course
seldom happens - Tommy should
find himself slicing, he takes care
on his next shot to take a stance
for playing right down the proper
line of direction-not one to the left.
His body is lined UP parallel with
the line of direction Then he picks

Cooling Concrete at Boulder Dam.

Although concrete construction was

examples of great building fabrication
with this material are still in evidence
in the Eternal City," the modern COM
posite is being used in a manner widely
differing from that Of the builders
of twenty centuries and more ago.
The Romans used lime as the consoli-
dating element, and 1t continued in
such use until late in the eighteenth
century, when a beginning was made
toward the production of a superior
material, which became known as
Portland cement" which though diff
ferent from the modern product had
much the same quality Of quick, firm
setting capable of withstanding stress
and the action Of water.
This developmer. has revolutionized
construction, has permitted engineering
WORKS OF proportions never before
deemed feasible, particularly with the
use Of steel reinforcement, which allows
the assemblage of great masses Of
material sometimes in defiance Of nat
ural laws. The latest work Of this
character Is Boulder Dam, the titanic
wall that is to be built across the Colo
RADIO River at the end of the immense
canyon that splits the surface for hun
dreds Of miles through several States
of the West. Many millions Of cubic
yards of material are to go into this
vast barrier. Preparations have been
under way for months In the cutting
