Heinie says there have been
three outstanding Navy middles
in current service boxing, Over
lin, RemuS and one Jimmy
Walsh Of the Pacific Fleet. While
Overlin has been making a repu-
tation in the East, and Walsh
on the Pacific Coast, Remus in
China where he has been sta
toned up until recently, has
been cleaning up.
When Remus took his splen-
did record back to the coast
from China, it was inevitable
that he had to meet Walsh,
which he did on three occasions
in three different settings
San Francisco, Seattle and Los
Angeles all in main bouts.
On each occasion Remus was
the winner by a knockout. The
first two bouts were torrid af.
fairs, filled with knockdownS
and fighting of the most furi-
Gus sort. In the third event,
Remus ended Walsh in less
than a round.
Thus the natural that might
involve Overlin and Remus for
the Navy middleweight cham
pionship will be hanging
around for some Eastern pro-
moter to grab as soon as the
fleet arrives in the Atlantic,
and Miller would like to see
the bout come this way.

Luke and Moe are ailing with
finger injuries.
Luke sustained his while back

March, while Moe had his in

Both To Be Ready
Both will be ready by the opens

Monday. Despite this encourage.

was worried because either or both
may be hurt again, due to the
delicate nature of the injuries.
Now Fred Schultz.
Fred was hit on the index finger

every man is in better than ave.

cluding General Crowder, whose
effort was in the nature Of a test
yesterday, are all ready to go while
the infielders and outfielders-

to get going in regular competition

Manager Cronin's plans for the

Bv KIRK MILLER
OUerLin and Remus Heinie Miller Observes
Ripe for Title Fight Griffs Home Today
For Many Middle CrOUOn Play BraUes TOMORROW

Heinie Miller is speaking
again, and of course he's
speaking for and in behalf Of
the United States Navy.
There's a fellow who can
make more palaver for the sea
service Of Uncle Sam than the
entire publicity staff which
gets paid therefor.
Heinie envisions what he
calls an ideal fight between
two Navy men who he declares
are eminently qualified in view
Of their records and he believes
Washington would be the ideal
vicinity for his two Navy candi-
dates to clash, because Of the
generally high grade back
ground Navy mitmen have
built for themselves in this
locality.
0verlin VS.. Remus
He wants to see Ken Overlin,
who outpointed Billy Ketchell in
Philadelphia Friday night meet
one frankie Remus who is en-
route to the Atlantic Coast with
the fleet which leaves San Pedro,
California, today. Overlin, is
Of the U. S. S. Idaho, as many
hereabouts know, and Remus is
Of the U. S. Tennessee.
"Here is a. fight that will
mean something" calculates
Miller, "a fight which will set
tie an all-Navy middleweight
championship"
In proposing such a scrap,
Miller cites the splendid records
made hereabouts by Navy scrap
pers. Of the recent crop he
points to Billy Landers. Red
Journes, and Of course Overlin.

OverIin," says Heinie, "only Vim
cent Dundee, middleweight
champion, beating him in 81
starts.".
Now it seems that this frankie
Remus is also a Navy middle
weight with a record similar to
that of Overlin. Out of IS main
events, Remus has lost but one
and that to a creditable con-
tender, Gorilla Jones, the N. B.

HOW HIGH is HIGH?

Washington. Farmers who
have been assured by the New
Dealers that the purpose of crop
control maneuvers and processing
taxes on certain commodities is
high prices for crops r now
wondering:
How high is high?
This question came to the front
when drought, ~blistering winds
and dust storms threatened the
wheat crop in the Middle West
and sent wheat prices soaring.
Dollar wheat was freely forecast,
and there was common agreement
that continued unfavorable wealth
err would send the price far above
the dollar mark.
And this was a quick reminder
that stipulations of the wheat pro-
cessing tax were that the process
ing levy should cease to operate
when the price of wheat reached
S1.06 a bushel. In other words,
with wheat selling at $1.O6 or
more a bushel, revenue from the
processing tax would cease, and
the government would receive NO
more funds from this source with
which to pay farmers for cur
tailed acreage.
The New Dealers, on the other
hand, have assured congress that
the processing tax would be a
painless method of paying far
mers for crops not grown. Hence.
another question: Will the New
Dealers use all the powers at
their command to hold crop prices
low enough to make the process
ing taxes operative?
The control advocates claim
they are working for high prices
for crops, but they will be with
out funds to pay for control il
prices go too high. Therefore
how high is high enough to suit
them?
Rough shedding undoubtedly
will develop for any New Dealers
who may try to put the brakes or
crop prices for the mere purpose
of collecting money with which tt
pay for control. If prices remain
low under circumstances thai
would tend to make them high
millions of farmers probably viii
suspect that they are victims Of
control advocates who are eager
to collect processing taxes.
