By KIRK MILLER

card would make an ideal man
for the proposed local commits
sion. He would combine sports
manship and judgment and
otherwise be a pillar for the
infant sport hereabouts.
Freddy Buchholz, hotel man
and sports enthusiast would
also bring a local governing
body dignity and decency. Buch-
holz knows the public, having
catered to it for years and
would lend sound advice and
guidance to a new industry that
might be ruined with an un-
auSpiciouS start.
Then I believe an outstanding
advocate of amateur sport
should be on such boxing
board. Jim Sprigman, a retired
postal worker, and for a couple
of decades identified witt the
simon pureS in Washington, fits
into the picture from the anna
teur angle. Jim'S sense of
fairplay is legend hereabouts.
He has been an indefatigable
worke in scholastic and A. A. U.
sports. His background is per-
feet, particularly from the
standpoint of youngsters who
go for athletics for the sheer
fun to be found therein.
In Good Hands
I haven't the slightest idea
whether either of those three
gentlemen are at all interested
in boxing commissionerships or
even if they could be induced
to direct part of their energies
thereto. They merely appeal
to me as men in whose hands
the ring game could be en-
trusted to get away to a clear
start here. I deem a good
start very important. Bad ones
are so hard to overcome.
And should a race track law
for Washington become a
reality, there are any number
of outstan Ing horsemen to
whom the District of Co.
lumbia Commissioners could
look for guidance in admin
istering the provision. First
comes to mind the name of
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, row
convalescing from an extended
illness.
Grayson has always stood for
everything high class in horse
racing and is a breeder of no
mean repute. Nobody knows
this better than Commissioner
Melvin Hazen, something of
a horseman in his own right.
Oh, there are an numkcr
of outstanding Washingtoniar.s
whose names suggest available
material to supervise horse
racing hers, if and when it is
legalized. Among others who
come to mind are Johnny
Gheen, Wallace Chiswell, DR..
William P. Collins, Maj. Will
fred Blunt, and Malcom Nc
Conihe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The uni
versities of Notre Dame and
Southern California are charac-
terized as exploiters of football
'for commercial purposes" in the
annual report of the Carnegie
Foundation for the advancement
of teaching, made public here
today.

The report, written by DR..
Henry S. Pritchett. president en-
eritus of the foundation, also de-
clares that German student duelS

lege football.
at is far cry" the report
reads, "frOm the devotion Of
the fathers who founded NOtre

who labOred to create a uni
versity in Southern California
to the three-year contract these
colleges have signed to exploit
their football teams for COM
mercial purposes.
Football is grossly demor-
alizing when developed into q

The report adds that it would
be "a real contribution to educa-
ton in the United States" if Notre

ern California would indicate
how far the profits of their foot
ball teams are used in supporting
their intellectual activities, and
still more interesting and import
ant if they would indicate the re-

Comparative Safety
Referring to the comparative
safety" of dueling by German
students and American football,
the report states:
"a fatal encounter among
German dueling students is
practically unknown and a seri.
Gus wound is SO rare as to be
negligible.'
The report approves publica-
tion by Harvard of its football re-

relation to the scholarly standing

FRIDAY IS SET
FORPUBL|C
PARLEY

The District Commissioners to-
day called a public hearing for
Friday at 10:30 a. m. on the Black
bill to establish a race track in
the District of Columbia. The
hearing will be held in the board
room of the District Building.
The date was set in a report
made by Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen to Representative Mary T.
Norton CD of New Jersey, chair
man of the House District Com
mittee.
Withhold Report
Commissioner Hazen asked per-
mission to withhold formal re-
port on the bill until the Commits
sioners had obtained "the public
sentiment of the citizens of the
District"
The bill was introduced in the
House last week by Representative
Loring Black jr., CD of New
York, a member of the District
Committee.
Will Be Represented
Thoroughbred breeders are ex-
pected to be represented at the
hearing, as are citizens groups. No
definite opposition to racing in
Washington has yet made itself
apparent, and, if such exists, it is
expected to come out at the first
public discussion of the subject.
Besides giving Washingtonians
a sport which other localities en-
joy. the evenue-producing angle
is expected to augur in favor of
the measure.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY III. n. McGTLL.
Editor, Mcoin Commodity Service. Inc.

Editor, MeGlH Commodity Service, Inc
AUBURNDALE, Mass, July 21-
Commodity prices during the third
week in July again moved upward.
Agricultural prices, which have shown
a marked disposition to increase this
month as a result of extended drought
and crop deterioration, were the chief
causation behind the higher price
average. Data now available clearly
shows that final production of both
feed and bread grains will rule the
lowest on modern records. During the
week, the trend of individual groups
was mixed. Out of IA individual
groups. five advanced, declined, and
7 remained unchanged.
Industrial commodities showed an
advance, breaking the horizontal trend
which has BEEN in effect for the past
few months and bringing the index TO
the highest point recorded so far this
year. A further contraction in in
dustrial activity during the third
week of the month was Of a fairly
limited character, and reflects sea-
sonal characteristics.
Farm Prices Advance.
Agricultural prices showed the
greatest proportionate advance Of any
group. Again the price recovery was
primarily due to grains and cotton.
The material strengthening in the
statistical position has resulted in
considerable speculative activity. Dur
ing the week, the items that ruled
higher were as follows: Wheat corn,
oats, rye, cotton, eggs. hay and flax
seed, with no commodities recording
declines.
Live stock prices brought the index
slightly above that Of last week, with
cattle and lambs down, but more than
offset by an increase in hogs and
sheep.
Paint materials declined during the
week due to lower prices for linseed
oil and turpentine.
Fine textiles advanced with higher
prices for cotton, cotton goods and
yarns o..
A decline was noted In coarse tex
tiles due to lower prices for burlap.
Vegetable Oils Rise.
Vegetable oils showed an advance
from last week. due to price increases
in corn oil, cottonseed oil and China
wood OIL These commodities over
balancing the decline in linseed oil.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index 1926

New York Cotton
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 2t-The cotton
market recovered part of the losses
of the previous session during today's
trading on buying influenced by steady
Liverpool cables and continued un-
favorable weather and crop advices
from the Southwest. After selling up
to 1902 during the early trading
October reacted to 1894 under re-
newed liquidation. but firmed up to
1905 later 10 close at 1904. The final
tone Of the market was steady at a
net advance of II to 81 points.
The opening was steady at 8 to 10
points higher and overnight reports
OF continued dry hot weather in the
Southwest brought out buying that
carried December up to 1914 and
March up to 1929 during the first few
minutes. The market encountered
considerable realizing at that level and
there also was scattered Southern and
local selling.
This supplied the initial demand
and sent prices off some or 10 points
from the best, but the failure Of the
official weather forecast to indicate
any material change in Southwestern
weather conditions brought in addi-
tional buying later December sold
up to 1920 in the late trading when
the general list showed net gains of
about 10 TO % points and closing
quotations we're within 2 or 3 points
of the best.
Part of the buying this morning
was attributed to a more favorable
view of the technical position follow
ing yesterdays decline, while the con-
tinuance of the drought in Texas led
to expectations of more serious crop
complaints from that section. The
amount of cotton on shipboard await
