Adhesion
'''',''.'' Kirk Miller wasreached
with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad today not to attempt
to enlarge on the original plans
for the two special trains which
will take The Times party to the
fight, because of the scarcity Of
any type of seats at all, and
because of the utter impossi-
bility to get seats comparable in
location to the original allot-
ment made The Times by the
Milk Fund, sponsoring the box
ing bouts, and the Twentieth
Century Sporting Club, pro-
moters. Mrs. william Randolph
Hearst is chairman of the Milk
Fund.
Supply Badly Depleted
This morning in New York,
there were but 5000 seats re-
naming on sale Of an original
10000 which is the seating ca
pacity of Yankee Stadium for
boxing purposes.
Over at the B. and o. ticket
office, the public this morning
was still clamoring for fight
reservations in connection with
the au-expense trips. This news
paper regrets sincerely its in"
ability to meet this demand. It
started out to secure choice res
ervations for the patrons Of this
specially conducted fight party,
and finds it impossible to yield
in its purpose of handling only
the best seats in the four price
groups in which it dealt, now
that its original quota is de-
pleted.
The Times is deeply appreci-
ative Of the quick response DEM
onstrated by the Washington
public in buying out all of the
accommodations available for
the largest expedition Of fight
fans ever to leave Washington.
This alert action on the part Of
the ring fans, has stamped this
effort with success fully six
days before the fight.
It feels it has filled an impor.
tant mission in Washington's
sporting community in enabling
its readers to get hi h class
seats and in arranging the travel
accommodations at an eco
nomic advantage to the public.
No Premium Asked
Through the efforts Of this
newspaper, Washington has en-
toyed a fight ticket sale wherein
no premium was involved, and
furthermore The Times two spe-
cial trains from Union Station
embrace a meal to New York
and round trip transportation
from the terminal there and
Yankee Stadium.
The Times is escorting and
planning for its fight party a
trip in which every detail is
embraced from Union Station
here, and back again.
Those who have business
to which they must give their
attention, will be back in Wash
ington the next morning by
7:30 o'clock, reflection on day.
light train trip to Jersey City,
a stirring scenic ride across the
Hudson River at twilight pass
ing the greatest port in America
with its huge ocean liners
moored to their piers.
They will have observed the
famous New York skyline as the
lights go on in the skyscrapers
Of evening, a dash in especially
charted buses up Manhattan
Island to the Yankee Stadium,
and, most important, choice

tury, the epic Baer-Louis 15-
round fight next Tuesday.
Plans in New York
The Times Baer.Louis busses
will await for the Washington
party on 162d Street where
they discharge their District of
Columbia passengers. The walk
to the stadium is less than two
blocks and every member Of the
encourage will be provided with
a souvenir badge which they
are asked to keep on their lapels
so that the Washington people
may identify each other after
the fight and together locate
their buSseS.
Back to Jersey City the party
will be whisked and the night
train to Washington will await
until every member Of the party
Is aboard before steaming to.
