 New York, Sept 27-(UP)-The stars that ride insthe heavens over your head, be you in Tallahassee. Sioux City or Lima, Peru, have arranged themselves in such for nation that for the next three months the business of prize fight ing is doomed to the lowest state of all time.
 This information came to me through Professor Gustave Meyer of Hoboken, N. J., and on station cry which told all who could read that Professor Meyer was an American scientific astrologer and
 the nations counselor" The way I get it, the information-laden stardust fell on the professors noggin, bounced off onto mine, is now coming to you in sort of pretty double-play.
 As an American scientific as- trologer," the professors letter be- gins, 1T therefore, herewith, send you my deductions relative to what the stars say for the autumn quarter To egin with, great bank failures ,or bank robberies are strongly indicated to occur throughout the country, and much sorrow and misfortune in financial institutions, hence, extra precau- tions should be taken"
 lessor gets gloomier, predicting, and scandal in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, tornadoes and cyclones in many parts of the country, attempts on the life of Hitler and Mussolini, and, last but not least, the ban of boxing.
 Prize fighting" the stars tell the professor, twill come under a ban, mostly brought about through questionable decisions, as witt messed in the recent Ross vs Me- Larnin fight. Hence, I would strongly warn the boxing commits sion to look into this matter be-
 fore John Law does, otherwise (the professor is a bear on long sentences-ed) the star of boxing
 will surely set in the not distant future, due to the fact that bouts of boxing is becoming a racket, or money making scheme, hence l will contend that Ross won the fight over McLarnin, even though the verdict rendered was the now
 notorious ostrich act"
 That's long sentence, and
 strong words, but there is no doubt in my mind that the professor feels strongly about the verdict in
 that fight. When Referee Donovan gave the nod to McLarnin it was | in direct contradiction to the stars, which is rank heresy in the pro- | fessors eyes. For the professor, in pre-fght prediction, said Ross was a lead-pipe cinch; that | Aries, Taurus. Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Libra, as well as Scorpion,
 Sagittarius and Pisces, were sit ting in such position in the | heavens that it was Ross by a | knockout in the thirteenth round, and there could be no mistake.
 He told me this before I left for Newport, and strongly advised me betting my shirt on Barney. He called me at Newport the night | of the fight to check up and see If
 I had bet as instructed, and when I said I had bet on Barney, but only to win by a decision, his dis appointment was great.
 Believe me, my man,, he said,
 "there can be no other result. As speak can see Leo from my window, and his starry messages spells Ross, Ross, Ross. Hurry be- fore it's too late, and bet all you can get your hands on."
 Luckily I could get my hands on very little, otherwise l would be looking for the professor, to get yny hands on him.
