ston, who would be the last to deny
that his is the greatest brain in
boxing, had boggled things up.
He was out to all callers at
Madison Square garden today. His
II extension telephone line had
been clipped. Burglar proof locks
guarded his office doors. But he
had forgotten to plug the key-holes
and it was through one of them
that I saw the little giant in his
travail
There he sat at his desk like
Rodin IS Thinker, only he used both
fists. His face was study of mis-
cry, despair, disgust, shame, woe
and plain old-fashioned bilious
ness. Before him, untouched, was
his favorite lunch of frankfurters

milk. To one who had always
known the Rasputin of the ring
as a clipper, cocky, person, it was

to the slough of despair. The 10
per cent occurs in the contract
which Johnston drew up and Primo
Camera signed for the Max Baer
fight. The papers contain an ag-
onizing discrepancy. Johnston, in
agreeing to give Camera 27l3 per
cent of the net, overlooked the 10
per cent he must cut off the top

pay Camera on the basis of 37l2
after the milk fund has had its cut.
Camera wants his cut from the

wrapgling for a piece of the Nc

fund controls, Johnston and his
associates haven't an out.
Assuming the gate goes to half
million dollars, which it will, the
difference between what the garden
wants to pay and what Camera
wants them to pay, is just under
$4,000.
This agreement, which threatens
to cost the garden the finest heav-
weight fight since Dempsey and
Tunney went at it in Chicago,
could easily have been avoided.
But Johnston Numbered in drawing
up the contract for Primo. The
pain of his blunder is made doubly

CUDDY PICKS

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 13.-The gong
will clang next week for the hot
test free for all in major league
history. Most clubs in both the
National and American circuits are
more evenly matched than in
years.
Anything can happen-and prob
ably will, after an off-season of
momentous transition featured by
wholesale player shifts, restoration
of weak-Sister clubs, weakening of
former powers, managerial changes,
injection of minor league blood
and adoption of the uniform "live'
ball.
However, a thorough analysis of
all the evidence at hand (using
chronology, physiology, psychology
and astrology) indicates that the 16
clubs should finish the season as
follows:
National League American League
st. Louis Washington
Pittsburgh Detroit
Chicago New York
New York Boston
Boston Cleveland
Brooklyn Philadelphia
Cincinnati Chicago
Philadelphia st. Louis
The usually thrilling National
League brawl should be more heart
lashing than ever because OF the
vast uncertainty surrounding the
world champion New York Giants
and the apparent power of the
Cards, Pirates, Cubs and Braves.

THE WHOLE STORY

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his message
L paid high tribute to the banking and
stock market investigation Of the Fletcher
senate committee by his blistering condemna-
ton Of the financial racketeering thus far
disclosed.
They call, the President declared, "on the
strong arm Of government for their immediate
suppression; they also call on the country for
an aroused public opinion" He asked for
Stringent preventive or regulatory measures"
The country has been aroused.
So has congress. They should be kept
aroused until congress has legislated wisely,
effectively and thoroughly. To accomplish
these detectives the Fletcher committee should
continue until the whole story is laid on the
record Much has been told. But much re-
mains to be told.
President Roosevelts denunciation of "reck-
less spectators" was even stronger in his
message to congress than in his Inauguration
address when he stirred the country by his
pledge to drive the money changers from
the temple" That is easy to understand.
He and the country have learned many
bitter facts since-how Albert H Wiggin
attempted to use the worlds largest bank for
his own speculations; how Wiggin and other
so-called giants of the boom era alternately
pulled and debated the market at their will
to reap fortunes at the expense of the unwary
and uninitiated; how Clarence Dillon got con-
troll Of millions Of other peoples money by
shoe-string investments; how a group of banks
in Detroit was ruined by fancy promotion
and thus set off the explosion which rocked
the nation; how the House Of Morgan extends
its financial control into the lives of nearly
every citizen.
This is not the whole story. Chairman
Fletcher who has promised to go the limit"
is prepared to get it all. The veteran legislator
resisted successfully those who sought to stop
the inquiry few months ago. He deserves
the support of the country for his faithful
public service and his determination to COM
plete the job
The lamb in the 1929 crash wants to know
how the New York Stock Exchange operated
in those high-fying days-and why. The
senate committee next fall will address itself
to this task
The Fletcher committees inquiry perhaps
has shocked none more than honest bankers
AS evidence of guilty consciences in high
financial circles they have seen shake-ups in
command of the nations big banking institu-
tons Most recently they have seen forced
from the treasury department man who
promoted those foreign and domestic bonds
which stuffed bankers portfolios, gave them
seepless nights and helped contribute to the
general collapse. These honest bankers want
