RG1U Sugar Storage
UD From Lou Point

Raw sugar stocks in licensed
warehouses in New York in
creased 427,90O bags or 88 per
cent from the low point of the
year on January 26, according
to the New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange.
Stocks today total 909,136 bags
against $4,000 bags on January
26. All of this sugar is of Cuban
origin and will probably be held,
duty unpaid, in the warehouses
which are bonded until the ex.
pected revision in the Cuban
tariff becomes effective. Last
year at this time 100000 bags
were in store.

COLD CUP RACES
TOP REGATTAS

The American Power Boat AS
sociation's class of Gold Cup craft
will headline the coming seasons
motor boat regatta schedule, with
the elimination of a 1884 British
International Trophy Race from
Detroit, where the classic has been
an annual fixture for the past six
years.
The withdrawal of a Canadian
entry and the failure of Hubert
Scott-P Paine, Great Britain's chal-
lenger of last season, to again en-
ter. removed the possibility Of a
Harmsworth race next fall.
Two Of the premier events for
Gold Cup boats, the annual class
championships and the Presi-
dents Cup, already have been
scheduled and plans are being
made to add the class to other
regattas in the East this sum-
mer. The Gold Cup Champion
ships will be held on Lake
George, N. Y, August 4 and S,
and the Presidents Cup will be
run here September 21-22.
The Maryland Yacht Club is
planning to add an event for
Gold Cup boats to its Silver
Jubilee regatta at Baltimore,
August 1912, and the Buffalo
Launch Club will attempt to
bring out the same field July
14-15. The National Sweep
stakes, usually held in August at

sojourning in Europe, homeSick
and looking for an excuse and
an opportunity to come back,
who might conceivably take
over Madison Square Garden
and make it a success such as
it never had been before. It
is superfluous to mention the
name, of course. But the name
is Walker.
I think that with Jimmy
Walker at it's head, and Jimmy
johnson to advise him Of fiStic
matters, the Garden would
have a fighting chance to be-
come the power in sport that it
normally should be.
And I further think that
without James j., or a front
man of similar stature and &C.
complishment, that if they buy
the Garden, Colonel Hammond
and his associates have bought
the most collosal lemon in the
history of sport.
Surely by now it is no star
chamber secret that the Garden
is the graveyard of hopes. The
best promoter the Garden ever
had-maybe ever will have
was Tex Rickard. But he was
a terrible business man, and
when he died the boys in Wall
Street all but had him on the
outside looking in.
Tex Was Fed Up
Tex was so fed up with eff
cheney fellows and business
genius-as Wall Street under.
stood business genius in the
honey years around 1928-that
when he left for Florida the
Christmas before he died, he
was hoping that he would not
have to come back. And he
didn't have to come back-alive.
Then came William Francis
Carey.
Carey was a construction
man, not a promoter. But he
learned rapidly. And then,
just as he was ABOUT to become
more valuable, even than Rick
ard, conditions made it impos-
sible for him to stay on the job.
So the Garden had to start all
over again.
All this time, moreover, the
Garden was doing silly things,
such as hiring publicity men Of
whom no sports writer's in New
York ever had heard, much less
knew. And things such as los
ing 100, ,O00-dollar fights over a
matter of a couple Of hundred
dollars, which, to smart box
ing promoter, is only round or
so of drinks.
But efficiency and righteous
ness were the twin watchWordS
of the organization now. and,
while figuratively the Garden
burned, it's officials fiddled. 1t
was inevitable that it should
lose its place of leadership in
the sport that built it and to
which it was dedicated by the
man who dreamed it-boxing.
Surely, nobody believes that
the Garden now dominates and
controls the boxing business as
it once did, or as it, by right Of
priority and reputation, should.
If you think it does, five will
get you a trip to Cathay.

: True Yesterday Missing, But That Can
MAY Be Truer TODAY. Be Fixed By This Time

y" NEW YORK, April 28.-
Yesterdays final editions Of the
New York Evening Journal were
selling Madison Square Garden
to a syndicate headed by Col.
John s. Hammond. You re-
member Madison Square Gar
den, Of course?
It's that big building on
Eighth Avenue, between Forty
ninth Street and Fiftieth
Streets, where they used to hold
prize fights. The story was as
right as the number inside your
hat. AS this was written, all
Colonel Hammond and his as
sociates needed to buy the
Garden was little more money.
: BY the time you read this they
may have raised it. . and then
again.
Whether it finally is sold, or
finally isn't sold, doesn't greatly
matter. What does matter is,
that the best known-and best
sports arena in the world has
fallen on such days that it can
be kicked around like a tom
shown under canvas.
If Colonel Hammond and his
fellow enthusiasts and optimiStS
succeed in gaining control Of
the Garden, I should like to
ask them this one question:
Have they dug up another
Rickard?
Thorough Gentleman
AS for Colonel Hammond him.
self, he is a thorough gentle
man, a West Pointer, a hand
some and personable man, who
represents the last word in per-
.sonal courtesy and affability-
and he has about as much busi'
ness trying to run Madison
Square Garden as your cores
pondent has trying to run the
subway system of greater New
York city. And your cores
pondent is one of those born
mechanical geniuSes who in
searching for the foot br a k e
invariably steps on the accelera'
tor, and vice versa.
Now do hope that Colonel
Hammond will not take this
statement amiss, any more than
I would take it amiss if he
would say to Inc, "You are a ter
rible driver; get in the b a cE
seat and let me drive"
The colonel would undoubtedly
make-and probably did-a gal
liant cavalry officer, and GER
tainly he would cut-and prob
ably has-a fine figure in a
cotillion. But as for personally
taking over the Garden and Try
ing to restore its former pres
tige. now, Colonel.
However, I am at heart help
full fellow, and if the Colonel
and his boy friends go through
with this deal, I have a sugges-
ton that might mean the diff
ference to them between sue"
cess and failure in the venture.

who owns the Garden. What
matters is, who runs the
Garden?

The Washington times., 1934-04-28

- - SlQe II. Nll11OrO
Dick Baker Bangs, local
realtor who was chairman of the
code committee of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
which sponsored the code.
tt is expecter that Charles w.
Smith, president of the Arlington
Fairfax realtors, will be present
with some of his brethren, al
though his group has already held
its code forum meeting in Alex
andria.
Perhaps it will be revealed how
the code authority expects to
| function.
General Hugh S. thomson, NRA
administrator, has proclaimed
that the real estate brokerage in
dustry shall include the represen-
tation of others who engage for
compensation, fee or valuable con-
sideration, in one or more trans
actions as whole or partial vo-
cation in any Of the following
activities:
Selling or offering for sale,
buying or offering to buy, ex-
changing or offering to exchange,
or negotiating for the sale, pur-
chase or exchange of real prop
erty; or leasing or offering to
lease, renting or offering to rent,
or negotiating for the lease or
rental Of real property; and the
collection of rent, appraising or
offering to appraiSe the value of
real property. the brokerage or
writing of insurance, or the
negotiating and procuring of loans
on real property.
It is a big order. Son the Code
Authority will hold it's organiza-
tion meeting in Chicago and will
then formulate plans to require
every person falling within any
of the categories stated by Gen.
Johnson, to register with the
authority in order that provisions
of the code may be directed
against them.
Those realtors having business
at the District Building during
the next ten days will have the
usual difficulties getting at the
city officials this time of the
year.
The officials will continue their
fight in the Senate to restore
vitality necessary appropriations
to the District Bill which the
house struck out.
A plain statement Of Tax AS
SCISSOR William P. Richards re-
veals a great deal.
The Congress proposes under
the House bill to contribute but
$4,365 900 as the Federal Gov
ernments share of the city's ex-
penSe.
The Federal Government owns
property in the District valued at
$550.000,00O which, assessed for
taxation at the current rate,
would bring in revenue totalling
in excess of $8,000,000. So by its
meagre lump sum appropriation
to the District in lieu of taxes on
its tax-exempt property, the Gov
ernment will gain something like
100000 unless Senator Elmer
Thomas is successful in having
the lump sum increased in the
Senate.
The only silver lining to the
dark cloud lies in the congress
sional approval of the $4,000, 900
ALLEGATION of PWA funds for Dis
trict construction projects. This
will go a long way toward reliev-
ing the unemployment situation
which will certainly follow drastic
cuts in the District appropriation.
