II SeH-Outs Recently
In Madison So. Garden
Which Is Not So Bad

NEW YORK, March %.
There have been ii sell-outS in
Madison Square Garden in re-
cent weeks, and tonight's anna
teur glove bouts between teams
from New York and Chicago
will bring the number to IL.
That is not such bad business
and even with the 40-odd thou
sand dollars the Garden cor
poration dropped in a badly
advised and ill-fated Florida
venture, the big sports arena
on Ffftieth Street is is no sense
in desperate straits.
The truth about the Florida
situation is that Miami and
Miami Beach are not populated
by fight fans, and that various
promoters have been fooled
about the place on the strength
Of one fight. This was Miami's
first big civic pugilistic venture.
It was "a natural" in the South,
bringing together as it did,
Young Stribling, the pride Of
Georgia, and a more or less
despised Yankee from Boston,
Jack Sharkey.
And even so-novelty that it
was, and natural that it was,
and the times being as flush
as q harvest moon, as they
were-the fight was not going
to be a success until Tex
Rickard, great promoter to the
end, up and died suddenly to
give it the most widespread and
effective bailyhoo that was ever
vouchsafed a prizefight in his
tory.
Tex's Last Promotion
It was Richards last promo
ton and it was a dandy.
But neither Col. John Reed
Fitzpatrick nor James Joy john
ston, one suspects, has any lives
which he wishes to lay down to
put across another battle Of the
palms, so that it might be just
as well all around if the gar
den stayed out Of Florida for a
while.
None Of the bouts thus far Of
fered the cauliflower constitu-
ency Of the land Of the alligator
has in any way approximated
another Battle Of Shiloh, any
how. The best one was the last
one-Carnera and Loughran. A
far better fight, and much more
thrilling than it had promised
to be. But it was mis-match
from the first. The Garden, as
I have said, went for approx
mately forty thousand.
Loughran went for Is rounds
and wound up with a little less
than enough to pay his train
ing expenses, two black eyes, a
sprained ankle, and a buzzlng
in his head.
Just a Love Letter
Cameras reputation was not
enhanced, even in victory, and
after his several pilots, advisers,
trainers and lawyers had been
paid off, all he had left was a
sweet love letter from a babe
he met in Palm Beach.
The situation ir Florida rela-
tive to prize fighting is one of
mutual diStruSt, at best. The

lind 1t, that is another matter.
Moreover, Elton Young, Of the
rental department of this firm,
reveals that March business is
even better than February.
Rentals are on the increase,
due to an increased volume Of
business on the part of the
merchant-tenants, and the index
is one to indicate that the up
turn is here right now.
Young Frank Luchs, who has
grown up in the business, has
graduated to a desk back behind
the brass railing in this office
and no more is to be found in the
outside row of desks. He bushes
and says he is just doing some
other work and says he is still a
saleSman-and how.
Bruce Legore, who once sold a
whole row of houses when the
Shapiro firm was building them
by the block, has located with
the National Capital Memorial
Association, which last week took
offices in the Southern Railway

Eugene Meyer became the owner

Embassy in Berlin.
The building loan league really
had q serious discussion in a
round table sort of way yesterday
at it's regular meeting, concern
ing the matter of guaranteeing de-
poSitS.
This group instantly responded
to the request of Home Loan
Bank Board Chairman John Fa-
hey that this proposition be
worked out if feasible and this
topic was the only one to be con-
sidered at the meeting.
Morton Bodfish, one-time direc-
tor of the bank board; Commo-
dore E. c. Baltz, secretary of Per-
petual; c. c. James, chairman Of
the local leagues legislative COM
mittee; William S. Quintern, Sec
retary Of the league, and Carl
Bergman, president Of the league
and secretary of Washington Per-
manent, told the others how the
job might be accomplished, and
the seed was planted. Whether
it will grow is another matter,
but it was laid in fertile soil.
The group also named its four
delegates to the southeastern
conference. They are Mr.. James,
Mr.. Bergman, Mr.. Quinter and

REACTION
DUE To HUGE
CREDITS

Credit Initiation Is now IN pro-
cess, with first reaction felt in the
high grade bond market, Moody's
Investment Service notes in its
current investment survey. The m
vestor Service points out:
"The huge credit base built
up through Federal Reserve pur-,
chaseS Of Government bonds, re-
turn of boarded currency, gold
imports and gold profit through
revaluatiOn of the dollar, result.
ing in greatly increased member
bank excess reserves, has been
making for bond infIatiOn.'"
The analysis points out that 50
far the only channel open to bank
reserves has been the high grade
bond market, and one Of the re-
suits has been that gilt-edge cor.
porate issues have been selling for
some weeks past at highest prices
since 1902, in spite of inflationary
uncertainties lurking in the back
ground.
400 Million Dollar Gain
The gain in the central credit
base over the past nine months
has been roughly 4,1O0 million
dollars consisting of a gain Of
1900 million dollars in member
bank reserves and of a gain of
1900 million dollars in Treasury
cash and deposits with the Federal
reserve. Strictly speaking, only the
1900 million dollar gain in mem
ber bank reserves may be consid.
cred an actual gain in the central
credit base, but the 1900 million
dollar gain in Treasury deposits
may be included as an additional
potential" credit base Moody'S
adds:
Reserves Of all member
banks with the Federal Reserve
are at present about 1,5OO
million dollars in excess Of
legal requirements, and these
excess reserves are capable Of
being expanded several times
in the normal course of bust.
ness. Furthermore, these ex.
cess reserves are now more
widely distributed among smaller
banks outside Of the large
financial centers than at any
previous period. This latter
factor should facilitate the ex.
pansion of loans when demand
finally appears in important
volume"
REFORM STOPS FLOW
The reasons given why bank
reserves have not so far flowed
into business are laid to the pecu.
liar recovery program of the
Government which has involved
reform as well as recovery.
Moody's concludes:
"A 'spilling over of excess
reserves into lower grade bonds
and into business loans is prob :.
able in due course. AS earnings
improve, bond buyers may look
further down the scale for in
vestment issues, the market for
new issues may gradually open
up and activity in intermediate
loans may be stimulated. As
business revives further, and II
the Government does not inter.
fere too strongly with the profit
motive, bank funds will tend =
to seep through into CONNER
cial and Semispeculative loans >,
on a larger scale. AS this takes j.
place, the impact of funds now
pressing into the high-grade
bond market will tend to be
leSSened."

Who's Getting Rich

True, there were some rather
bitter complaints for a time.
But who could you name, just
off-hand, who has been getting
rich off boxing these past two
or three years?
The promoters of the free milk
fund for babies staged success
at the Coliseum in the Barney
Ross and Billy Petrolle bout,
and Herman Taylor laid up a
few clans with Steve Hamas
and Max Schmeling in Phila-
delphia. Not many clans, but
a few.
Aside from those I can't think
of any fights outside the Garden
that have paid their own way.
If the field was so fertile, why
didn't somebody rush in and
grab off the gravy?
The answer is that there
wasn't any gravy.
The boxing business has been
in one Of those periodic slumps
into which it has fallen from
time to time ever since I first
came into contact with it, and
it is my conviction that there
wasn't much fitzpatrick, Johns
ton, or anybody else could have
done about it.
This was a slump aside from,
and over and above the depres-
sion, which took its toll Of ev-
erything, including sports, al
though on the whole sports
were not as hard hit as most
other businesses.
Periodic Swing
It was what believe Editor
Leslie Gould, Of the financial
pages, would call a periodic
swing. There was a time in
the old Garden, when Rickard
lived and was going strong,
when the fans couldn't have
been lured into a fight with a
solid gold watch given free
with each ticket. Then along
came Berlenbach and in almost
no time they were hammer
ing on the portals again. Your
fight fan is a funny fellow.
Sometimes, it seems, he likes
to go away by himself and for
get. And I'd be the last to say
that he hasn't had much to
forget in the fights we have
seen around here the last year
or so.

Florida Won't Do
As Prizefight Site
UpsWing Is Due

Floridian invariably looks on
the promoter as a city slicker
who is trying to palm something
off on him. And the promoter
looks back at the majority Of
Floridians as a poor prospect for
a customer, who is going to
wangle him out of a couple Of
free tickets if he can.
But there. I have gone long,
long way round to say what
might have been said in a half
dozen words. Miami is a bad
fight town.
But throw out the fact that
the Garden management made
the same old mistake down there,
and it hasn't been doing so
badly.

We have been asked for
further instructions on the
"King of the Golden River"
contest essays.
The essays are to be on
"Peace or War;" We mean by
that are you in favor or against
settling differences between
nations by means of arms. #
not, suggest a method by which
such difficulties could be set
tied. If you think that war is
the proper method, tell us why.
You might also tell us just
why you hold either attitude on
the subject. Have you heard
your parents discussing it or
did you arrive at your conclu-
sions yourself?
We expect to be greatly in
terested in your essays. The
subject is one of vital import
ance and especially so at the
present time. It is one that
your own particular generation
1--WE mean boys and girls Of
your age) will have to settle
for the world some day. Or.
as our generation did, pass it
on to your children to decide.
Keep your essays around 400
words. We are giving you bit
more latitude than in former
contests because it is a big SUBJ
ject.
And get them, the essays. to
us by April 20. The play, King

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning to have a sur

mother next month. She will be
81 years old. I wanted to have
a party for her last year on her
fiftieth birthday but I was un-
able to on account of finances.
My mother is a widow and I
would like to know if should
just invite her sisters-in-law and
her women friends, or should I
invite brothers and husbands as
we'll?
What should I serve? At
what time should I have the
party? What entertainment. ..
cards, dance? You see, want
it to be a nice party, for she
has never had a party. r.
Bless you for planning this
party for your dear mother who
never has had a party given for
her. I'm delighted with your
plans for giving her this hap
piness, and I just know how
touched and happy she is going
to be. You're a fine daughter!
I'd like to have you have the
party in the evening, a supper
party, with the relatives and
men. Plan to have cards for
friends present, women and

conversation for those who
wish ''just to chat"
Make your refreshments very
simple so that you and your
mother won't get too tired to
enjoy the party. I'm sure that
each of the siSters-in-law would
love making something for the
party. some rolls that they
make especially we'll, or a
luscious chocolate or coconut
cake or a chocolate cream pie
or a lemon meringue pie. Or
one might make a decorated

will have a birthday cake for
this important party, since
your mother never has had one.
I like to think of her happy
eyes as she is cutting it for the
guests!
First you might have some
delicious sandwiches, with sim
pie Filings, and with these, if
you wish a salad, perhaps a
fruit salad with cream sauce.
Or a compete Of fruits, either
fresh or cooked fruits. Then

cream if you prefer, but that
isn't necessary. And hot coffee
or chocolate, or a choice Of
these. And a punch if you
wish an alternate Of a cold

GERMANY WAVES
NORMANO APPEAL
60. Day Limit Expires With
German Suspected of
$3.50, 900 Bank Fraud.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, November 8.-The Ger
man government yesterday closed It's
case-temporarily at leaSt-againSt
DR.. ]. F. Normano, former Harvard
instructor, when it failed in Federal
court to present an appeal from the
United States denial Of extradition to
Germany.
Time for filing an appeal expired
today and since none was presented,
charges against Normano were auto
matically dismissed.
The case dates back to January 5,
1888, when Germany made the allega-
ton that Normano was Isaak Levin
of Berlin, Germany, and was wanted
there in connection with $750,O0o
bank swindle.
Normano was arrested at his Cam
bridge home on that date.
A witness from Germany Identified
Normano as Levin when he was later
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Edwin c. Jenney. An In
dictment was returned against Nor
mano and last March his extradltlon
to Germany was ordered.
The extradition papers were sent to
the Secretary of State at Washington
where they remained for two months
without any further action by the
German government.
Indictments against Normano were
then dismissed on August when
Federal Judge Elisha H. Brewster up
held Normano's contention that since
Germany had failed to act within 60
days on his extradition the proceed
ings were invalid
Germany now has recourse to OPEN
ing further appeals. but its inactivity
is indicative that it does not intend
to prosecute further.
