Travelling in three railroad
coaches, the party Of about 40
baseball players, coaches, scouts,
officials ETC., showed off from
here last night, and was expected
to reach their West Coast spring
training camp Sunday.
Team Intact
Unusual will be Charlie Grimm's
managerial duties at the training
zone this year in that he has q
team intact before he starts. Un-
like many major league pilots he
will not have to worry over find

GAME CALLED OFF

The scheduled basketball game
between Boys Club Varsity and
Georgetown Freshmen last night
was Cancelled.
The Washington times., 1934-03-02


Nobody wanted the fight ex-
cept Loughran, and today even
Tommy is beginning to suspect
that it wasn't such good idea
after all.
Ten thousand people huddled
in Biscayne Arena to see the tall
man from Italy cuff the little
man from Philadelphia, and today
most Of them. are remaining at
home waiting for their clothes
to come back from the dry clean
erS.
That well-known Gulf Stream
breeze waited a rain squall over
the arena just before the main
bout and the visitors present
found out the truth about those
$40 summerweight suits they sell
on Flagler Street.
Many a man who went to the
fight with 36-inch sleeves on his
coat and 29-inch trouser legs
walked out with his knees and
his elbows showing.
One of the major casualties
of the evening was a new $12
straw hat owned and operated
by Gene Tunney. Gene walked
in proudly wearing the hat, but
after that five-minute rain squaIl
he wrapped it up in a paper
bag and carried it home in his
pocket.
It was the smallest crowd to
see. a championship fight since
Jim Corbett knocked out Bob
Fitzsimmons at Carson City in
1897. That may have been a
better fight than last nights
party, but the customer s
Loughran partisans all, enjoyed
it.
Tommy threw a million left
jabs at Carnera, bu. it was like
throwing cream puffs at a bat
tleship. They landed all right
but it came under the head OF
what Of it?"
Promoter Jimmy Johnston was
we'll pleased with the crowd
For a time he had thought that
he and the ushers would be in
there alone. He said:
eve Outdrew last weeks
horse show, and we had almost
twice as many as they had at
the Flower Show this after
nOon."
Lonely Man
Just before Loughran entered
the ring a customer walked out oi
the arena and into the box Of
flee. To the surprised ticket
taker he said:
I'D like to exchange my
S11 seat for . IS one"
'What's the matter with the
seat you gOt?"
"Oh, the seat is all right,
but. it's so lonely down there
all by myself"
One hundred American Legion
men, dressed very fetchingly in
red.striped white uniforms with
blue Sam Brown belts and very
ducky white hats, did the usher

most of them dove under the
stands. ....

Primo Learned q Lot
Wonder Of wonders, Loughran
all but knocked the prehistoric
pugilistic figure down. too. He
clipped him with several rights
and at least one clean left poke
that left him blinking and
floundering and right to the
finish when he had him all but
worn to his knees, Carnera
showed the deepest respect for
the Loughran punch. For the
Loughran punch! Get that!
"T learned q lOt," said Primo
afterwards, "mOre than ever
learned about boxing in . fight
before. He jOlted me pretty
hard with both lefts and rights
and hurt me some and the first
thing / did when I got into my
dressing room was look into the
mirror to see IL I was cut about
the face,
81 couldn't catch up with him
in the first part Of the fight
and he wouldn't stand still and
fight me. If he had I'd have
broken him in two, Of course.
But he's game fighter and
he taught me many things /
needed to know"
Which last sentiment this bu-
reau can echo a hundred per
cent. Indeed there didn't, last
night, look to be much about
boxing that the big fellow didn't
need to learn. Possible it was
because it was his boxing suf-
fered alongside Loughrans, up
to last night we always had
given him credit for being a
good boxer for a man his size
and never believed he was a
killing puncher, but he looked
more awkward and more anna
teurish than he did a year ago.
He was pretty bad and that's
a fact. All he had was willing
ness, endurance and that great
strength Of his with which he
can wrestle and maui a man all
out of shape, especially if he
has a referee who is disposed to
let him go as he pleases.
Bad Bout Though
Even though the fight from
the minute it was first made
until it was over was fantastic.
I wouldn't want to leave the
reader with the impression that
it was dull. On the contrary.
For thrills I should say it was
the best bout I have ever seen
in Florida and I have seen all
the big ones.
Loughran displayed superb
courage and ring generalship
throughout and made good his
promise to give his last ounce
in this belated chance to win
the title.
In view Of the great fight
he made it a grave pity that
his last ounce was up against
too many pounds.
He would have made a splen-
did champion in many ways,
Tommy Loughran would. Ex-
cept that he could never punch.
But then, neither can Carnera.
Meet Mr.. Cummings
Prior to the fight, Bernard
Gimbel was host at a big din
ner at the fashionable beach
and tennis club and among his
guests was Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings of Con-
necticut and Washington.
Later the entire party attended
the fight.
Some of the Broadway boys
were delighted to be seated so
near the Attorney Genderal and
to more or less Scrape his ac-
quaintance, if only by prox.
unity. They reasoned that the
day might come when they
would be guests Of the attor-
ney general in what might be
called his official capacity and
that having met him in this
way might entitle them to some
special consideration, such as,
let us say. a room with south

GROUP
WILL LEAVE
FOR CAMP
BY GARRETT WATERS

AltnOugh an uncertainty doOuC
the contract situation promises to
mar the calm and collectiveness
Of the training season, plans for
the departure of the first guard
Of Griff performers were being
made rapidly at club headquar-
ters today.
This departure is scheduled to-
morrow from Union Station at
1:35 p. m. A small group Of
players are supposed to make up
the party, but from the looks Of
things only newspapermen and
photographers will hop the "Bt
loxi Bound" flyer.
Situation Delicate
The lack of contract signers, Of
course, makes the situation deli
cate one. The players apparently
are firm in their intentions to
keep outside the fold until better
terms are reached with President
Clark Griffith, while the latter,
from all indications, promises to
hold his ground as earlier an
nounced by him. until his men
see his viewpoint on the subject
Of club entrenchment, as far as
finances are concerned.
Four pitchers, three catchers,
one infielder and one outfielder
remain unsigned at this important
hour. They include Bob Burke,
Jack Russell, Walter Stewart and
Earl Whitehill, pitchers; Luke
Sewell, Moe Berg and Cliff Bolton,
catchers; Joe Kuhel, infielder,
and Dave Harris, outfielder.
OF this lot. the pitchers and
catchers are supposed to report at
Biloxi by Sunday night, in order
to engage in the first workout of
the season on Monday.
A fought Question
But whether all will be on hand
is a question. President Clark
Griffith still believes so. but there
are many others who are inclined
to feel that the genial preXy
promises to have bit Of trouble
O11 Ills 4lduUS.
In this connection 1t is firmly
felt Griff will have to allow his
hirelingS to report at camp for
special meetings" to iron out all
difficulties. This is decidedly
against the clubs policies, but in
cases Of this sort. it's the only
thing that can be done, as Griff
will probably realize if he finds
several abSentees among the group
due to show up" for first prac-
tice.
Now, to get back to that de-
parture of tomorrow. The group
is supposed to include Moe Berg,
catcher: Pitchers Alphonse (Tom-
N.Y. Thomas and Mark Filley,
Coaches Al Schacht and Nick AL
trock and Club Umpire Bottle"
Cox.
Will Be on Hand
Filley, Schacht, Altrock, Thomas
and Cox will be on hand all right,
but probably not Berg unless he
has signed his contracts, or has
received word from Griff to
entrain for Biloxi to talk over
terms later.
Usually on these trips, players
are picked up en- route to the
Mississippi base. Catcher Cliff
Bolton is one Of these, while
Pitcher Ray Prim and Infielder
Cecil Travis are others.
The train from Washington
will only pass through Bottoms
home town. If he has signed
before tomorrow. he will get
aboard. Otherwise, he'll "stay
put" unless he, also, has re-
ceived word from Griff to report
to Biloxi for one Of those "spe-
cial meetings"
AS to Prim and Travis, they'll
depart from their homes by diff
ferent routes than taken by the
group to leave Washington.
They'll be in Biloxi on time.

COMPROMISE ON

81, 900, 900, 900 Subsidy for
Home Builders Favored
by NeW-DeaIerS.

By CHited Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Con-
gressional appropriation of $1,000
100000 to stimulate a 100000, 900
home construction boom was under
discussion by left wing New Dealers
this afternoon as a compromise in
the Administration housing dispute
Administration advisers who be-

tration will be unable to entice pri-
vate capital into home construction
without further inducements, con-
ceived the project.
The $1,000, 100000 from the
Treasury practically would be a gift
to home builders or home repalrerS
who would enjoy 20 per cent sub
sidy from the fund, under one of the
discussed plans. Banks would pro-
vide 81 per cent of the remaining
capital through loans guaranteed by
FILA. The home builders would
provide the remaining Is per cent.
This plan is similar to the home
construction program of the FILA
except in provision for a subsidy. 1t
represents an effort to discover a
compromise between the FILA pro-
gram for use of private capital in
home construction and the desire of

REPEAL IN EFFECT
ONE YEAR TOMORROW
Value as income Producer
Proves Great.

The first anniversary of repeal
will be celebrated here, and all over
the country, tomorrow.
The results of the first year even
now are being disputed by those who
originally favored repeal and by
those who fought it. But one
thing is certain. Repeal has been a
great income producer.
To Indiana alone, the return of
high-powered beers and wines and
of so-called hard liquor has meant
an additional $5,019,517.24 in addi-
tional income, of which $3,023, 100 AZ
has gone to the support of the
school systems and $1,777, 457 to
local municipal corporations.
Federal revenues have been
swelled in similar fashion, as have
incomes of farmers and of manufac-
turerS supplying articles used in dis
tilling, brewing and bottling.
