tries to complicate matters.
Granting that Dick Shikat Is
great wrestler, there's no reason why
should do him any favors. And
unless he can show me a mighty good
reason why 1 should wrestle him
(provided ! beat Ernie) the chances
are I'll give Shikat the go by
Shikat Unbcaten Here.
HIKAT bases his right to chal-
y lenge the winner on the grounds
that in five years Of competition
here he has met the best without
suffering defeat.
In tonight's last open-ar show Of
the season Marshall and Dusek will
be risking fine records, both having
been pinned locally by Londos alone.
Considered runner-up to the gor-

league and picked by many as the
eventual winner of the world heavy

gained national recognition as a re-

President Roosevelt's fishing off
the Florida Coast may be some
what absent minded.
Some inner Administration ex-
perts said today that Mr.. Roose-
velt, as he battles the fish, pos
siby will give more thought to the
potential necessity Of further re-
valuation of the dollar than to
landing his quarry.
The initial devaluation brought
about a profit Of $2,S05, ,512, 900 in
gold, increasing the valuation Of
the American monetary stocks to
$7,019,263, 900 in terms of the dol
lar.
Those contemplating reduction
Of the value of the dollar to so
per cent took the position that
commodity prices have not risen
substantially since the So per cent
level was fixed. 'They pointed to
Federal reserve reports showing
that for a month commodity
prices have been stable after rise
the two months previous.
Revaluation Of the dollar was
for the prime purpose Of boosting
commodity prices, especially those
