VA. BOXING UF
To GOVERNOR

RICHMOND. Va, March g.
Will Gov. George C. Peery sign or
veto the boxing bill passed yester'
day by the State senate?
That question today is the sub
ject for lively discussion following
yesterdays close vote in the sen,
ate when the bill won by the slim
margin of two votes, 20 to 18.
The measure as passed permits
1O-round bouts and awaits only
the governors signature before be-
coming a law. 1t provides for a
State boxing commission consist
ing of three members who must
serve without compensation, but
who may be reimbursed for actual
travel expense.
Under the measure, bouts may
be promoted only by chartered
clubs. The fee for the chartering
of clubs runs from $25 per year
up to $500 for cities with a popu'
lation of 10000. A lower rate will
obtain in the case of clubs seeking
to stage amateur bouts. Match
makers will be licensed as will
managers, referees, examining
physicians, boxers, seconds and
trainers.
Five per cent of the gross re-
ceipts are to be turned over to
the boxing commission. OF that
5 per cent, SO per cent goes to the
State and the other half to the
city or county in which the taxed
contest is staged,

Little Harry Hofberg, Skinny

He's been reading about the
Hollywood diets and the neces-

And then he started playing
basketball with the Bovello
Plumbers. For the greater part
of the season they played in the
140-pound class, but when the
A. A. U. tournament came around,
they decided their path to the
title lay in the 130-pound divi-

heavy.

Of the gathering.
The affair was quite a rumpus,
tinged with much roughness and
wildneSS, with DuSek starting the
trouble. Boesch, maddened by
Dusek's unfair tactics, took it
upon himself to give an equal
dose in return. However, he
couldn't quite overcome Dusek's
experience and the latter finally
triumphed,
Sam Stein, who also dabbles in
football and the movies, disposed
of MayeS McLain, ex-gridder, in
"a minutes, using a flying tackle.
Emile Dusek scored an impressive
triumph in his first appearance
here by tossing Little Beaver, the

thinks if he could get a crack

would be a big money maker. He

1t was with the united SCaCes
Back in 1917, Loughran enlisted
in the infantry branch of the serv-
ice, desiring to carry arms in be-
half of his country against the
common foe.
At the time he had not yet
reached his fifteenth birthday.
But he was a large boy OF l40
pounds and stood five feet 10
inches. With such proportions he
had no difficulty getting past the
enlistment officers in Philadel-
phia and no sooner was he sworn
in than they shipped him to Wash
ington Barracks where he was to
be innoculated against typhoid
and otherwise prepared to go on
to Fort Benning, Ga, where he
was to learn to do squads right
and squads left.
Parents Alarmed
Meanwhile, the elder Loughrans'
pater and mater of Thomas Pat
rick Loughran, who knew nothing
of the lads enlistment, were grow
ing worried because the young
ster had not shown up at home
for a couple of days.
It was not like their son Tommy
to remain away so long, and the
parents. knowing that as younger
boy he had always been fond OF
playing soldier, started a canvas
of the enlistment centerS around
Philadelphia to find out If the
boyhood leaning had become
serious with their son.
It had.
Producing Tommy's birth certifi-
Gates to the commanding officer,
the parents made an appeal to
have their boy returned to the
bosom of the family and, because
of his extreme youth, their plea
was needed.
Big, Bad Colonel
The next day, at Washington
Barracks, Tommy was summoned
before a stern colonel of infantry,
who scowled and stormed and
paced up and down the floor and
pounded his fists on a table, tell
ing the 14-year-old wanderluster
he was of a mind to send him to a
military prison for misrepresent-
ing his age.
II got the scare of my life."
So declared Loughran in his
suite in the Ambassador Hotel
today, just previous to taking the
family of his manager, Joe Smith,
around Washington on sight
seeing tour, adding:
"He furthermore said that if
went back to Philadelphia and
tried to enlist at the Navy Yard,
1 would be picked up as an in
cOrrigible and land somewhere
wouldn't want to be-"
That was Tommy Loughran's
first visit to Washington. Last
falls World Series trip here was
his second. Today is his third
visit, and he is pleasure bent. With
Mrs. Smith and the daughters,
Mary 10; Katherine, 18, and
Eleanor, %, he took in the sights,
including a visit to Congress, a
drive around Lincoln Memorial
and over to Arlington National
Cemetery.
Offers No Alibi
! Loughran had no alibi for his
defeat in Miami by Carnera and
wanted it distinctly understood
he had no squaWk coming, al
though he did not believe the
referee of that fight, Leo Shea
knew any too much about scor-
ing points nor was he rigid
enough in making Carnera re-
frain from abbit-punching and
body punching in the clinches.
81 think 1 was easily ahead
for IL rounds of the fight"
said LOughran, "but for the
last three rounds 1 was fight
ing under the handicap of a
knot on the back of my neck
caused by Cameras clOuting
me there in the clincheS.
II could not shift my head
nor my feet on account of the
severe pain and 1 had to just
fight bent over and flat-fOOted,
with my head in one position.

Telephone installations are also in
creasing. For the first six months of
the year there was net increase of
$4,000 telephones in this area, making
total of approximately 625,O00 tele-
phones in service.
This increase in telephone installa-
lions is comparable with the country
as whole, since there was net in
crease of approximately 249,OO0 tele-
phones for the first five months of
this year as compared with a net loss
of $4,000 for the same period in 1888.
On June of this year there were
about l6,960,000 telephones in service
in the United States as compared with
16,875,000 on the same date last year.
Telephone calls for the country as

daily since the first of the year, the
average now being approximately TO-

lished production record for the
month of July, building 92,947 pas
senger cars and trucks, the highest
July production since 1929, accord
ing to an announcement made by the
officials Of the company.
To meet the demands of dealers,
which continued on high level DUR

schedule was maintained. In the
last four full working days of the
month 16,9O1 units were produced
with record of 4,953 cars in a
single day.
Handicapped by late start in the
early part of the year, Chevrolet
production set pace during March
and April which was maintained
thru June, July and the early part
of August. 1t is significant to note
that at the close of production on
Saturday, August 4, Chevrolet had
surpassed last years total produce
ton figure, building 626,303 units
as compared with 626,227 units foH
the entire IL months of 1893.
July sales rivaled the June record
in rejecting the current demand for
Chevrolet cars. Deliveries made

ficials of the company said. Retail
sales for the month, as compiled
from dealers reports and Canadian
and export deliveries, were the basis
of this announcement.
