His action also indicated that all attempts thus far to transfer control of the club to groups re- ported to have been bidding, have failed.
 Adams took over control when Judge Emil Fuchs resigned as president Q month ago because of inibility to meet notes held by Adams and others.
 In his letter Adams said the present financial situation was so serious "that unless the club finds some immediate financial support there is danger of the loss of its franchise and player as- sets"
 Stockholders are asked to con- tribute at the rate of $1 a share on the approximately 15,000 out standing shares of the Boston Na- tional League baseball association.
 "I estimate that it will require about $15,000 in new cash to enable the club to complete the seasons schedule" Adams said in his letter.
 Adams warned that after suffi- cent funds to furnish the season have been raised the question of reorganization should be taken up. He indicated new capital of $500,00O would be needed to &C., complish this and put the club in strong financial position, free of debt.
 He suggested that refinancing be accomplished through sale of preferred stock Carrying a fair rate of dividend and callable at a reasonable premium"
 "The equity of the present shareholders in the club would be represented by a common or jun for stock without par value which would be sold 8 nominal price to- the holders of association shares pro rata," he said.
 At a previous crisis the Nation al league took over the lease on Braves field and sublet the grounds to the club on more req sonable terms.

'SALVAS, DUNCAN EASY WINNERS
 OF BUCK BOUTS
Fair.Sized Crowd Sees Action Eagle Drops
 Decision to Romano

Not a knockout studded the four bout program of professional box ing at Buckingham Hall last night, but some 1,200 patrons saw a ser of slugfests that kept them very much interested from the first scrap, a six round even Stephen affair in which Tommy Grady of Chicopee Falls came back in 0 fighting finish to wipe out a good sized lead piled up against him by Frankie Utenda of Utica, N. Y. Utenda hooked and crossed his right hand to the Grady kisscr most of the first three rounds but the Irisher got to fancy Frank with n few body blows that will hurt him for week. Grady weikher 142 1-2 to 136 for Uten- da.
 Saluas Stood Out
 Unable to overcome a decided weight advantage, Johnny Pile of New York lost the nod to Leo Sal- vas. short-punching slugger from Salem, N. H., but lost no grace in losing for he never stopped trying to score, and took everything Sal- vas threw at him and that was plenty, outboxing the Frenchman, but being brought up short by straight shots to the body and head during every round. The de- cision was a mere formality. Sal- vas weighed ITO 1-2, Pile, 163 1-2. Leo Duncan, a black fox from Philadelphia just ooZed ring class | against Bud Mignault of Brockton, winning all the way, though doing l no great damage. Mignault, never able to cope with good boxer, met a top-notch ringman in Dun- can who knew all the tricks of the trade and could also punch when he wanted to, though seem- ing bent on putting on a boxing exhibition which was a dandy-if you like boxing. Duncan is what is known to the trade as a "cutie' and would look neat against a slugger of Al Gathers type, many fans expressing the opinion as they watched Duncan work that the Philly negro would prove plenty ! good enough for Gainer. He weighs 166 while Mignault hit ITO 1-2 on the scales.
 Eagle EaOe0
 | Charley Eagle of Waterbury let a sure decision and possible deci- sion over Tommy Romano of AL bany, N. Y., get away from him winding up with draw, though Eagle by virtue of clean knock down, having been fouled twice in the same round, and having Romano in trouble throughout the fight, seemed to have enough edge to win, though Referee Bill Con- way saw it exactly even, when Eagle tired badly in the closing rounds and Romano Hurried, | though the local lad hurt his foe in the final heat. Three times as the bell hit to end a round Ro- mano was staggered by hard rights to the head, the first time being knocked down fiat and ready for the count. Eagle weighed 162. Ro- mano 157.

WESTERN TEAMS EXPECTED TO BOX
 GIANT FLAG BID
Cards, Cubs and New
 Workers Continue to Win Games
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 7-(UP)-The west is up in arms against the east, making the going tougher for the New York Giants, who are trying to keep within striking distance of the National League lead.
 Three days since the last inva- sion of the west began, eastern teams have won 2 games of IL. Both these victories were turned in by the Giants, who now realize that they can't expect any aid from their eastern co-workers on this last swing of the circuit.
 Before leaving for the west ear- Her this week, Manager Bill Terry said if the Giants could keep near tho top during their stay away from home they would have a good chance of gaining first place when they return to New York for the final stand of the season.
 Terry's task has become tough CT since he said that. The Giants since they went west but even so 1t resulted in the falling further behind the St. Louis Cardinals.
 The Cards, Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates have yet to lose a game since the eastern invasion started. Cincinnati has won one and lost two to the Giants.
 On Edge
 The Cards and Cubs, make no doubt about it, are fighting to the last ditch to eliminate the Giants before they reurn home. Twice in the last two days the Cubs have won in extra innings while the Cards have come from behind the same number of times to defeat Boston.
 Yesterday, for example, the Cubs and Cards both won on few CT hits than their opponents. So did the Giants, but the two west ern teams have been doing it con- sistently during the last few days.
 The Cards stayed three games ahead of the Giants and 9 1-2 in front of the Cubs yesterday with a GA victory over Boston. The Cubs are in third place, however, by .002 points because of a differ ence with the Giants in number of games played. The Cards, out hit 12-10, scored three runs in the eighth to win. Dizzy Dean, who relieved Hallahan, received credit for his 24th victory.
 The Cubs won in the 10th when Augie Galan hit homer. The Cubs were outhit II to 6. The Giants, outhit 12-9, defeated Cincinnati, 7-5 in 10 innings. Joe Moore's single scored Critz and Sullivan's error and infield out sent Moore home. Hal Schumacher pitched his 18th victory. The Pittsburgh Pi- rates defeated Brooklyn 13-0.
 In the only American League game, the St. Louis Browns de- feated Washington 11-8 and 2-1, in 10 innings. The other games were rained out.

STOCKS IMPROVE
AS METALS RALLY
Market Given Lift Before
Close-Final Prices Are
Irregular.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, June IA rally In
the metals gave the stock market q
lift today just before the end OF the
brief session. The market, previously,
had pointed downward as traders at
tempted to analyze the Presidents
views of the N r. A. court decision.
The close was rather irregular. Trans
fers approximated 100000 shares.
A sharp drop in grains at Chicago
to new lows for the season did not
brighten the picture. Cotton, how
ever, steadied after its Fridays break.
Other commodities were irregularly
lower. The sugar and coffee market
began its Summer Saturday closings
which will last until October
Bonds were uneven. with many sec
ondary loans inclined to emulate
equities. Foreign gold currencies rail-
lied in response To the accession of the
new Bouisson government in France,
but sterling backed up substantially.
A mild revival of infiationary
thoughts and expectations that the
administration will resume its silver
buying on a larger scale, may have
helped some of the mining stocks.
U. S. Smelling got up more than 4
points and Cerro de Pasco and Ameri-
can Smelling firmed more than l
each. The utilities and rails were re-
Sistant throughout
Moderate support appeared in other
groups near the finish, but losers Of
fractions to l point or so included Du
Pont, U. S. Steel, U. s. Industrial slco-
hol, Allied Chemical Case, Macy,
Corn Products, Columbian Carbon,

was down about points and Cuban
American Sugar preferred recorded
decline of more than 4.
Clouds on the domestic recovery
horizon tended to obscure the French
battle for the franc and its possible in
fluence on American securities mar
kets.
Most market commentators were a
bit gloomy over the N. r. A. situation.
but they still held out hopes that the
President and his advisers will find a
way to rebuild the New Deal agencies
in such a manner as to meet the ex-
isting exegencies.
