RigOr MOrtis Sets In
SOn CGrnerd-LOughrGn
Fight in Gay Miami

Anyway you look at the Car
nera-Loughran fight, which may
or may not be held in Miami
tonight, it will be like serving
the guests cold soup. No fight
can stay hot seven days.
Originally scheduled for Feb
ruary %, the thing was never
better than luke warm at best
and two postponements to date
have been like so much cold
water thrown on a very frigid
issue to start with.
Customarily a dash Of ice
water is supposed to revive, but
in the case Of the ailing patient
in question, those two wet appi-
cations haven't even brought
about a wiggle of the ears.
Perhaps the boys were never
intended to fight in the first
place Possibly the whole mat
ter is just one big mistake. It
would look so from this dis
tance. The most ridiculous bout
in the history of the heavy
weight class has been made to
appear more ridiculous by let
ting the corpse hang around
until rigor mortis set in.
Everybody Goes Stale
That fight should have been
held on it's original date, which
was George Washington's Birth
daJ. The fighters had pointed
themselves for that DAY and
hour and so had the public.
Both must have gone terribly
stale in view of the delays.
Miami city, too, has suffered
from these postponements as
we'll as from the Knight-Rosen
bloom fight delay of five days,
also attributed to untenabIe
weather
The Magic City doesn't want
the impression to go forth that
it has any such climate that
permits of foul nights or days;
yet two such black eyes have
been given the great winter re-
sort. Is the face Of the Cham
ber of Commerce redl
Forgive and Forget
Meanwhile think a lot of
people will be glad to forgive
and forget this particular fight
when and if it is held. I don't
like to appear cynical. but even
the reporters who are getting
the benefit of a prolonged stay
in Miami in view of the Car
nera-Loughran delays, are openly
!coffing at the advisability of
the match ever having been
made.
Those writing fellows are only
honestly reflecting the indiffer-
ence toward Jimmy Johnson'S
brain child that they actually
Ind exists on the premises.

LEADERS
WILL OPPOSE

Tomorrow night at 8:15 o'clock
at the Capital City Chess Club the
crucial games in the match for
the chess championship of the
District will take place.
At the present time D. H.
Mugridge is leading by a full
game, with Vladimir Sournin, the
defending champion, in a tie for
second place with Martin Stark.
Sournin and Mugridge meet to-
morrow night, and a win for
Mugridge would put him in a
commanding lead. A tie game
would also be helpful to Mugridge'S

MIAMI, Fla, March 1.-Once
again, if for no reason except
that they said they would, and
there's a certain dubious Satisfac-
ton in fooling a few people be-
sides yourself, an attempt will be
made tonight to put on the
match between the not-so-bad big
man and the not-so-good little
man for the heavyweight cham
pionship Of the world.
This, for purposes Of the
record, is the gripping encounter
Of IS rounds between Primo Car
nera and Thomas j. Loughran
which was abandoned last night
because of the lack Of weather
or witnesses or both. Today, the
betting odds had heightened to

$4,000 Worth Seats Sold
According to the promoters,
they have sold about $4,000
worth of tickets and, no matter
what kind Of pressure they have
put on, the giddy populace has
gone right on ignoring the event
in a very marked manner. Some
how, the boys just can't become
impressed with the belief that the
fragile, little fighter, 185 pounds
at the most has even the
remotest Of chances to win from
q giant, 259 pounds, with the
body Of a lummox and the agile
speed Of a gazelle.
Altogether, it seemed improb'
able that the crowd would ex'
ceed $4,000 and the gate $4,000.

Carnera Has Size
Camera is a much bigger and
probably much better man than
Loughran and, if we haven't
known that all along, we just
haven't been abreast Of the cur

AS a matter of fact, it has been
pointed out that the postponement
will hurt Loughran because he is Q
small man and, therefore, reaches
a very fine point of condition. I
naturally wouldn't know about
that and am in a position to say
only one thing. If Loughran is

WHAT STOCKS DID.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. August 24.--After early
hesitancy stocks moved higher today
in trading that was less active than
that Of the previous session. Many
operators were out of town for an>ex-
tended week end. Packing issues and
other specialties drew a following and
the steels and utilities improved. The
close was firm. Transfers approxi-
mated $4,000 shares.
New developments of market i'm
portance were scarce. Car loadings
for the week ended August lS showed
a contra seasonal decline of ,966 under
the previous week, but rail equities
were not particularly impressed.
Grains were apathetic, although they
finished somewhat higher. Cotton
was a bit higher. Bonds steadied.
Sterling was heavy in foreign ex-
change dealings, although the gold
currencieS were fairly firm.
Shares up around points included
those Of Allied Chemical, United
Fruit, Philip Morris, Wright Aero
nautical, Union Pacific and Armour Of
Illinois preferred. Both Armour pre-
ferreds made new highs for the year.
Among others up a point or more
were American Telephone, North
American, Armour preferred (new),
American Can, Du Pont, General
Motors. Johns-Manville, U. s. and
Bethlehem Steels, Case, Illinois Gen.
tral, New York Central, Santa Fe.
Wilson A. Cuban American Sugar pre-
ferred. U. S. Rubber first preferred.
o. s. Smelling and Howe Sound. Con-
solidated Gas, Public Service Of New
Jersey, Chrysler, Westinghouse, Mont
gomery Ward, United Aircraft and
Sears, Roebuck were firm.
Bar silver, which has held at 493k
cents an ounce since the nationaliza-
ton Of the metal two weeks ago, was
lowered S Of cent to 495s cents.
Little significance, however, was at
tached to this price shading.
Most market commentators ex-
pressed the view that the next mo-
tivation for securities trading would
come from Washington. The belief
was general that plans for speeding
up the recovery machinery were now
being discussed in administrative
conferences and that changes In new
deal policies, which might give new
hope to the rank and file Of business
men, were probable.

RESERVE VACANCY
APT TO REMAIN
Board Governorship Expect.
ed to Be Left untitled
for Time Being.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Authoritative financial circles report
the Federal Reserve Board governor
ship will remain vacant for the time
being.
Presumably, such a situation occurs
In order that Mariner S. Eccles,
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
and foremost candidate for the Job,
may clean up important fiscal mat
ters upon which he has been engaged
since coming to Washington last
January.
There seems no doubt in informed
circles here that Eccles will get the
position. In this connection 1t was
pointed out that the Treasury and
the Federal Reserve Board, jointly,
will form the spearhead of the Gov
ernment's attack on unsatisfactory
business conditions through heavy
credit expansion, and that Secretary
Morgenthau and Eccles are of one
mind on virtually all financial
theories. Moreover, 1t Is known that
Eccles has the Endorsement of Morgen-
thau.
The temporary board vacancy will
not cripple it. 1t normally functions
as an executive committee and has
an acting head in J. j. Thomas. who
has been named vice governor by
President Roosevelt.
