Indicated To-day As Merchants Trust Co.
 Request Is Started
Attorney Henry J. Wesman Informs Court He Learned Next National Legislature Will Consider Question
 Judge FavOrs Holding Certificates Temporarily

Indications that the next congress will do something about guarantee ing the payment of principal on Home Owners Loan corp, bonds; was reported in superior court to- day during discussion of the Mer- chants Trust company application for advice on the bonds taken in so far. Attorney Herman J. Weisman i'm formed the court that he discussed the principal guarantee proposi- tion with a United States senator last week and learned that the in- coming session of congress some- thing was going to be done.
 One of the chief reasons banks offer for not accepting these home owners bonds in liquidation of mortgages, is that while the inter est payments are guaranteed, the principal of the bonds is not.
 Attorney Weisman's statements were made after Attorney Francis T. Reeves, counsel for the receiver for the Merchants Trust Co.,, had presented his motion on instruc- tions, to Judge Newell Jennings. Mir Reeves said the receiver, the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank had taken in so far over $1OO,0OO worth of the bonds in liquidating mortgages; mortgages upon which payments had been negligible. He added that the re- ceiver expected to take in an ad- ditional $f0O,000 worth by Jan 1st. MT Reeves wanted to know what should be done with the bonds taken in. He said the receiver has several propositions. One is that the bonds should be held until the present market quotations went up and then sold, the proceeds ito be used for dividend payments. An- other proposition would be to offer bonds for sale to those people who are required to pay back loan obligations to the Home Owners Loan corp.
 Attorney Weisman made his statements believe the bonds should be held in view of the approaching congress.
 Judge Jennings said as long as the bonds were paying interest and the cash being received through other receivership operations was not, it might be good thing to. hold on to the bonds for the time being.
 Attorney Weisman did not make known the name of the senator with whom he discussed the bonds.

AUTOWAY OVER
 RAILWAY SEEN
Elevated COncOurse Be- tween New York and
 Bridgeport Urged

New York-CUP)-An elevated multiple lane concourse for fast automobile traffic directly over the 56 miles of railway between New York and Bridgeport, with toll charges to gross the railway a min imum of $7,000,000 annually, is urged by Frederic E. Toquet, city engineer of Bridgeport. Toquet sees it as a means to provide a di- rect high-speed traffic line for the g. 00,000 east and west bound trucks which pass through Norwalk, Stamford, Greenwich and Bridge port each year, and for the 4,500, 900 through passenger automobiles that travel on the Boston Post road.
 Toquet's proposal results from a study of plans developed recently by well-known engineers and ar- Fchitects for @ 100 m. D. h. super highway between New York and Boston built on principles of rail- road construction, with few turns and relatively fiat and non-skid surface.
 Among the authorities who broached the idea were E. SutcIiffe of the Warren Brothers road labor atofies of Boston and Andrew Reinhard and Henry Hofmeister, associate architects of the $250,- 000,00O Rockefeller center in New York. Cooperating with them and furnishing ideas for highway which would make possible air speeds by automobiles was Captain Malcolm Campbell, holder. of the worlds automobile speed record of 272 miles per hour, and J. E. Pen- nypacker, former chief of econom- ics of the United States bureau of public roads.
 Every important electrified trunk line railroad in the country may be economically improved by thus adopting it to motor travel" said MT Toquet today.

PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED ABOUT
 THE CRITICISM
Will Consult With Acting
 Secretary of Treasury 8 on Monetary Problems
Y By FREDERICK A. STORM a(United Press Stan Correspondent)

Warm Springs, Ga, Nov 24.- .(UP)-President Roosevelt to-day prepared to give full consideration to all angles of the nations highly complex monetary problems in the first of series of conferences with Henry Morgenthau, Jr, acting sec- retary of the treasury, who came here from Washington.
 < Although the conferences came while a lively debate between eX- ports and economic bodies favoring and disapproying of the govern ments gold buying program was raging, they were not believed to be harbingers of a change in mon- etary policy.
 Outwardly unmoved by criticism of his program for commodity price raising, MT Roosevelts forth coming discussions were watched with intense interest in all quarters but repeated announcements have been made by his advisers that nothing unusual would develop. The pot shots taken at the mone- ary program by former administra- ton confidants was said here to have no great significance.
 Furthermore, it was added, aldfInlSL cApTeSSiOHS Ol Idplu drift toward currency imitation on the part of the administration, were not having the slightest effect on determination of future pol icies.
 Morgenthau will remain at Warm Springs with Mrs Morgen- thau until after Thanksgiving. While here it was believed that both he and the president would find ample opportunity to survey the financial situation from every viewpoint.
 Another caller of importance to- day was to be General Hugh $. Johnson, national recovery admin istrator. who was coming to Warm Springs to outline to the president the progress of the recovery pro- gram and to discuss important codes of fair competition still awaiting final action in Washing ton.
 Tonight the president will de- liver a nationwide address in dedication ceremony that will see the formal transfer of Georgia Hall. new building here, to the Warm Springs foundation.
 It was stated authoritatively that the speech will be confined almost solely to the work being done to rehabilitate sufferers from infantile paralysis.

SLEEPS
AS TITLE
PASSES
By JOHN P. MEDBURY

NEW YORK, June 30.-At 9:55
last night, practically everybody
in the country knew that there
was a new worlds champion. That
is, everybody except Jack Sharkey.
as he was asleep at the time.
Mr.. Sharkey entered the ring at
exactly $50 and left 10 o'clock
call. Twenty-Five minutes later
he was lying flat on the canvas
listening to the singing of the
Camera birds.
This all happened in the sixth
round, when a right hook to the
chin reminded Mr.. Sharkey of that
old adage:
"PeOpIe with glass jaws
shouldn't throw boxing gloves"
When the attendants revived
him, Jack was puzzled and asked
what had happened?
"YOu were knocked out" re-
piled one of the seconds.
knocked Out?" gaSped
Sharkey. "Then you mean it's
all a dream about my licking
Carnera?"
Mind on Gate
The fallen champion could
have gotten up at any time, but
he didn't realize that the referee
was counting 10" over him; he
thought he was reading him the
gate receipts.
Although Carnera had delivered
several hard rights to the stom-
ach. it was not these blows that
made Sharkey i'll. He had got
ten ptomaine poisoning in the
third round from eating an over
ripe sponge.
The new champion was highly
elated over winning the heavy
weight crown and wanted to con-
gratulate the loser, but Sharkey
was still sleeping and Primo
didn't want to wake him up just
to tell him something that he'd
find out anyway when he read
the newspapers in the morning.
So the big italian just tip-toed

of his can tip-toe) after handing
Sharkey's manager a slip Of

FIGHT DIR A " s
100000 GATE

NEW YORK, June 3d. Jack
Sharkey and Primo Camera drew
a gross gate of about 100000 and
net of $165, 900, the smallest re-
ceipts for a heavyweight cham
pionship contest in recent years,
it was revealed today in an early
check-up by Madison Square Gar
den officials. Approximately 49,
900 witnessed the bout.
The former champions share
will be 42l2 per cent of the net,
while Carnera will draw down 10
per cent of the net.
Both Government and State
taxes must be paid, which will
further reduce the profits, if
any. The Milk Fund, of which
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst is
chairman, will share in the pro
ceedS.
The financial returns we're dis
appointing to Garden officials,
who estimated that the gross gate
would hit $225,0O0. With more
than 100000 in the till yester-
day morning, it was expected that
the last minute sale of tickets
would send the receipts sky rock
citing past the $225,O 900 mark.
Camera rooterS, who were ex-
pected to buy up most of the
unreServed seats. did not flock to
the bowl as expected.

Joe Hl1n1phries Sees
Primo Champ 3 Yrs.

FAIR HAVEN, N. j., June 30.
Primo Carneras victory over Jack
Sharkey did not particularly sur
prise Joe Humphries, the veteran
sports announcer who is recover
ing from an attack Of paralysis,
He says:
"Carnera will hold the title
three or four years because
there doesn't seem to be a
fighter his equal in the ring
today. With another year of
seasoning, Max Baer will be
ready for the Italian, but not
before"
Last nights bout was the first
major ring contest Humphries did
not announce in 35 years.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30

It's an unfair, and unsports-
man-like advantage; yet this
caveman moved into the midst
of civilized warfare, learned
first to move his feet, then his
hands and later to coordinate
them. and what have we got?
A new worlds champion.
They gave a sucker a chance
and he made the best of it.
A much improved fighter over
the clumsy hulk who invaded
America in 1929 and scared
women and children by walk
ing through the streets and
grinning through the second
story windows.
Yes, Camera has come a long
way since those crude days when
he was nothing much more
than an exhibit, only without
a muzzle or a chain. Particu-
larly it must be said he has i'm
proved wonderfully, inept as he
still is in the orthodox sense,
since his 1881 meeting with
Sharkey.
And he ought to be champion
for some days to come, if only
for his dimensions. I don't want
to fight him; don't even want
to meet him on a dark street.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30
Kisses Canvas and Glove

BY this time you might sus-
pect that Sharkey kissed the
canvas for the full count, and
as a matter of fact about five
seconds more. Some there
were who thought Sharkey
might get up in time to save
himself from such an ignomini-
Gus exit from the game he
dominated, but closer observers
Of his prone body saw little
muscular convulsions playing up
and down his legs, and recog-
nized he was down to stay. That
right hand uppercut which end
ed the fight caught Sharkey
flush on the jaw and must have
paralyzed him down to his TIM
est toes.
AS we say, Sharkey kissed
the canvas. And when he had
been revived in his corner and
was ready to leave the ring.
he walked half way to the CEN
ter and waved at the crowd.
kissing his gloved hand and
tossing the caress off to the
crowd.
That meant one thing. Shar-
key is through with the ring,
and we'll he should be. He's
got a fortune, a fine family
and hasn't scar on his finely
chiSled features.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30
Sharkey Tries Hard

Meanwhile I lay Jack Sharkey'E
premature retirement from the
ring more to his own careless
ness than anything else. He
fought as aggressive a fight as
we have even seen him wage,
and more's the pity that he re-
ceived such poor pay therefore.
Carnera seemed to be more
on the defensive throughout,
paving and punching plenty
and not seeming to be any too
sure just what to do about the
Boston terrier who did practic-
ally all of the leading-includ-
ing the time he led with his chin
in the sixth.
Too, Sharkey was making
headWay slowly, like a pl5my
trying to pick up a glacier and
not quite knowing where to take
hold of it. But headway he was
making, with little or no inter
ference from Camera outside of
the times he Wrestled his lighter
foe around. And SO bold cid
Sharkey get in his SallieS inside
Cameras unorthodox and slap
stick defense that finally Car
nera took tumble to Sharkey's
liberties with him and caught
him coming in, right on the
point of the jaw.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30
Carnera vs.. Baer

Most important of all, even
more important than Sharkey's
losing his title, for 1 imagine
he figured to chuck it no later
than next September anyway,
is the new heavyweight deal
which will come about within
three months with Camera CIV
ing Max Baer chance at his
neWly-won crown.
Boy, what fight that should
be.
Two veritable cavemen in
there practically throwing
boulders at each other, Baer
the Tarzan grinning one min
ute and grimmacing the next,
with Camera the copious wad-
ing in with those apelike maui
ers of his which seem nearly
to touch the ground as he plods
along in almost prehistoric
fashion.
Such a bout is sure to come
off shortly, as both Baer and
Camera are on the scent of
quick money and the quicker
the better. Jack Dempsey will
more than likely be the pro-
moter, either in his own right
or as chairman of the Madison
Square Garden Corporation
pugilistic subcommittee.

HUGHES WINS
OVERSUTTER
IN UPSET
BY CHARLES A. SMITH


WIMBLEDON, England, June
30.-In an unexpected upset,
Clifford Sutter, one of the rank
ing American stars in the VIM
bledon tennis tournament, was
eliminated this afternoon by Ger
aid P. Hughes of Britain, 81,
IS, 6-3.
Taking the court shortly after
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody had dis
posed of Nine. Sylvia Henrotin
of France, 6-3, 60 to enter the
quarter-finals, Sutter found him
self pitted against an experienced
British player who was at the
top of his form and who proved
too much for the American.
Suffers defeat was all the more
surprising because Hughes has
always been noted as a doubles
rather than a singles player.
Jiroh Satoh, diminutive Japa-
nese star, defeated the Italian,
G.. de Stefani, 60, Ga, 3-6,
6-3. Both Davis Cup stars, the
pair provided an entertaining
match, although Satoh kept out
of difficulty.
Mrs. Moody's opponent in the
quarter finals will be Mile. Lolette
Payot of Switzerland. who fur
nished the gallery with a sensa-
ton by defeating Mrs. Fearnley

Bennett, of England. 8-6. 81,

ONE ROOM SAD,
JOY ABOUNDS
IN OTHER
BY PAT ROBINSON


NEW YORK, June 30.-In the
gloomy room, where anxiety and
bewilderment cast pail over his
handlers, sits Jack Sharkey,
fumbling with the clothes he is
trying to put on.
Eyes Pain Sharkey
YEARLY he rubs his hands along
his temples. Half an hour ago
he stopped an uppercut with his
chin. DR.. Vincent Nardiello whis-
pers he is still only half conscious,
and fears a slight conclusion.
"My eyes hurt" mumbIes
Sharkey.
A Subdued Sharkey
A strangely subdued Sharkey.
Nothing like his usual staggering,
boaStful self. He tries to focus
his thoughts to answer questions.
"Sure, I want to fight again.
I want to fight Primo. Ooh, my
eyes,"
A shirt slips from his nerveless
fingers. Johnny Buckley, mother,
father, nurse, and manager rolled
into one, picks it up.
Sharkey fumbles with his tie.
Fingers can't coordinate to fix it. A
friend helps him. He looks, what
he actually is, a badly beaten
man. Ones mind flips back to
his pal, Ernie Schaaf, and won
ders. Everybody says Carnera
can't hit except those he hits.
"Hit?" Sharkey repeats a
question.
"Tll say he can hit!"
The other sSing room.
Packed. Sweaty bodies crushed
together. All shouting at once.
Everybody wants to be with a
winner. Primo towers over all,
grinning. He boasts:
"In the third round / hit him
with left hook in belly. 1 see
his legs shake. / know then
1 got him. / am more conf
dent. 1 handle him like a
baby, no? You see me throw
him around, eh?"
He shows cablegram reading:
'In spite Of everything 1 still
hope you win. Emilia"
Emilia is the English waitress
who was awarded $4,000 in a
breach of promise action over
Primo's too ardent letters.
Just a Laugh
"She's a laugh, eh?"
Primo haw-hawed to show what
a laugh she was.
"HOw's that? Sure fight
Sharkey again if he wants. He
is easy for me. Easier next
time. Baer, too. Anybody. A
champion fights them all, isn't
it so? Hey, who took the wine
out of the bOttIe?"
Primo tried to glare. but broke
into a grin.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The
short right uppercut which
sent Jack Sharkey into

"secret punch" which Primo
Carnera had been practicing
for weeks, the Italian declared
today.

my right so I let them think

it, and 1 let Sharkey have it
when he don't expect it,"

TOO,
WANTS THIRD
MATCH

NEW YORK, June 30.-A mad
scramble was underway today by
promoters anxious to close for q
bout between Primo Carnera, new
heavyweight champion. and Max
Baer. conqueror of Max schmel-
ing.
While Carnera is under contract
to make his first title defense
under the auspices of Madison
Square Garden, Baer is controlled
by the Gardens rival, Jack Demp-
sey. Unless the Garden can wean
Baer away from Dempsey, it was
believed today the Carnera-Baer
fight would be staged under the
joint promotion of the Garden
and Dempsey. Jack was to confer
The Washington times., 1933-06-30

Jack Sharkey was fighting and
winning like a real champion
when Primo Camera seemed to
spread all over like a spouting
volcano in the Madison Square
bowl in Woodside, L. 7.
Sharkey had set his own pace
and was making show of
gigantic Camera when he ran
into right hand uppercut to the
jaw that ratified every tooth in his
head.
Falls Face Forward
He started toward the floor,
face downward as a tree starts to
fall. AS the falling champion was
half way down on the way to
oblivion, Carnera whacked him
with a hard left chop. The first
was enough to have finished
Sharkey, possibly, for he flattened
out on his stomach, his face flat
tened into the canvas.
At first I thought Sharkey
would get up for I did not think
the blow had been clean enough
to keep him on the floor. There
was considerable dispute about
that among those close to the
fallen champion. At "8" Sharkey
raised his fac off the canvas and
his red rubber mouth protector
dropped out or the white canvas.
It was a startling optical illusion.
For just that instant it looked as
if Sharkey was actually turning
inside out. He remained glued to
the floor, never getting off his
chest.
Carnera Strangely Pale
Camera, more ponderous than
ever, was over in his own, the
far corner, strangely pale beneath
the tan of his training days. He
was utterly at sea, not knowing
whether to dance, cry or sing
for joy.
AS Artie Donovan, the referee
baWled 40" his arms spread
eagled. Carnera put on his show.
He numbered here and there, en-
bracing every one who stumbled
in his direction. He hugged Bill
Duffy, the man who piloted him
to the golden throne of fistiana.
Duffy never has weakened in his
original declaration:
primo CarnerO will be the
The Washington times., 1933-06-30

Finally, after 2 minutes and
~ seconds of the sixth round,
the big bear quit kidding, and,
with his right front paw,
pushed real hard against the
muzzle of his lighter antagonist,
and that was that; a new
heavyweight champ was born,
making the third major fight
title to change hands within
less than 10 weeks.
