HURT BY SPECULATORS
 IN REAL ESTATE
Land Boom Tactics Are Being Used By Many
 PrOfiteers

Washington, April 19.-(UP)- Progress of the Roosevelt recov- cry program has been retarded seriously by real estate spectators and Hand sharks" who watch fed eral emergency agencies in hopes of huge personal profit, the United Press learned to-day.
 Land boom tactics, it was said, are being used by profiteers who wish to cut in on the $160,000,000 sect aside for projects to obtain a betetr standard of living for thousands of unfortunates.
 Officials of the subsistence department asserted that coopera- had been sought to apprehend pro- moters who are inducing people with meager resources, to resettle the land with little value. Public Works Administrator Harold l.. Ickes, who has allotted $123,000,000 to the Federal Em- ergency Housing corporation to inaugurate a nationwide program of low.cost housing and slum clearance declared that real-estate interest and "unreasonableness of owners who are attempting to sell at exhorbitant prices: offered 8 major problem to this phase of the housing plan. Tn self-defense, he is prepared to resort to con- demnation proceedings.
 The federal surplus relief cor- poration, which holds $25,000,000 intended to finance purchase of millions of acres of poor farm lands, announced that it was pro- ceeding with utmost caution" to forestall activities of profiteers. It has enveloped its plan in se- crecy.
 Acquisition of suitably situated land at proper prices remains the chief difficulty and key to the housing program" said Ickes.

 FOR ALL COOKS

Philadelphia, April 19-UP)-- A domestic code under the NRA to halt "cook bottlegging" was be- ing formulated today by a group of society leaders. The code under consideration was prepared for the Philadelphia council of housekeep- ing occupations by the national committee on household employ ment.

IS CHAMBERLAIN
 WINNER OF BET?
President and Chancellor Had Made Some Kind
 of a Wager

London, April 19.-(UP)-The piscatorial prowess of President Roosevelt and the British chan cellor of exchequer, Neville Cham .berlain, provides fantastic budge- tary comment for the gossip col- umnist of the London Morning Post.
 After Chamberlain's budget statement, in April, 1883, this col umnist says, President Roosevelt congratulated him by cable, and added:
 "Bet you ten grand to basket of salmon get my estimated deficit before you get your estimated sur- plus"
 When the present financial year finished with a British treasury surplus of more han f31,000,000, the Morning Post scribe writes that Chamberlain cabled: What about it, big boy?"
 Roosevelt's alleged reply was "Shucks, my deficit now over $2.- 800, 100000; send fish by next mail."
 To which the British chancellor is reported to have replied: "Bolony. You estimated for lots more. Come clean"
 In view of the deadlock, the col umnist suggests that President Roosevelt offer token payment of Potomac pike.

 "Oh, no," responded Cavaiieri, ''that's an advertisement for my salami."

UNKNOWN LANDS
SCRAP FOR TITLE.
BelIoise Gains Bout With
Arizmendi by Beating
Gotham Feathers.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

N YEW YORK, August 18.-Mike
n Belloise is a youngster hardly
" known outside this city. Many
4 fight fans will question the
right Of the local Boxing
Commission in labelling Mondays
fight between Mike and Baby Ariz-
mendi for the teatherweight title.
Such is the case, and smart fans
would do well to withhold judgment
on Belloise until the result is an
nounced.
Belloise is young in years and in
experience. One hardly expects a
fighter to contest for a world title
within two years after deSerting the
amateur ranks. But that is what
Mike is doing. and he gained the
ranking by beating every local feath-
erweight in sight.
Arizmendi is not much older than
Belloise. The Mexican champion has
had far more experience and holds
the edge in that respect. He has
travelled 10 rounds with Tony Can
zoneri and won from good boys like
F'idel La Barba and Freddie Miller, N.
b. A. champion. Belloise does not
boast such names in his record, but
the form he has displayed leads many
to think that Arizmendi is in for the
surprise of his life.

PROS HAVE EDGE
IN COHES|VENESS
College Stars Given Only
Two Weeks to Work on
Plays at Chicago.
BY WILLIAM WEEKS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

- HICAGo. August 1s.-some
kind of idea as to how college
foot ball compares with the
- professional game will be
forthcoming the night Of
August 81 when 80 headliners of the
1888 college season tackle the Chicago
Bears. pro champions. at Soldier
Field.
The collegianS probably will match
the Bears in man power, but the pro-
feSsional club, even with IL new mem
bers, will have wide advantage in
seasoning.
1t may boil down to a question OF
condition. Each team will have only
two weeks of practice. The Bears-at
least the veterans-will pick up where
they left of last season, giving them
another advantage over the all-stars.
Real Coaching STAFF.
THREE of the Western Confer
ence's outstanding coaches
Noble Ki2er, Purdue: Bob
Zuppke. Illinois. and Dick Hanley,
Northwestern-will be assisted by
Jimmy Crowley of Fordham in pre-
pairing the college squad. They must
take the 80 college stars. educated 10
different systems, and weld them into
a team in two weeks.
If the game develops into an
every-man-for- himself affair, as Red
Grange, famous Illinois halfback Of
a decade ago, and a star of the Bears
for a half dozen seasons. suspects 10
may. the boys who galloped over coll
lege gridirons last year will have
plenty to offer.
Joe Skladany, Pittsburgh's all
America end, will line up with the
collegians against Bill Hewitt. former
Michigan star. who was rated as the
best end in professional foot ball last
year. Aaron Rosenberg, all-America
guard from Southern California, will
work against such seasoned veterans
of the pro ranks as Jules Carlson,
Joe Kopcha and Butch Kiesling.
Battle of FulIbackS.
TYAST years all-America fullback,
Il George Henry Sauer Of Me-
braska, and Iron" Nike Miku-
lax of Oregon State will be opposed
by two great professional fullbacks,
Jack Manders and Bronko Nagurski.
both of whom played their college
foot ball at Minnesota.
Cliff Montgomery, leader of Colum-
bias Lions in their triumph over
Stanford in the last Rose Bowl battle,
and Joe Laws of Iowa will quarter
back for the team elected" by the
fans, against the Bears field generals,
Carl Brumbaugh and George Corbett.
Chuck Bernard, Michigan's great CEN
ter, will face Charles (Ookie) Miller,
once of Purdue.
The Bears already have gone TO
work on polishing up the dazzling as
sortment of passes, forward and lat
eral and combinations of both. which
helped them to the professional title.
