STEEL RISE HAILED
AS RECOVERY SIGN
Belief Grows That Gains
Mark Start of Long
Upward Trend.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 7.-Comment-
ing on the higher rate Of steel pro-
duction, Iron Age says the belief is
becoming widespread that it really
represents the beginning Of a long
pull out of hard times"
Any letdown In the rate Of advance,
it states, sis expected to be temporary,
to be followed by renewed expansion
in September and October" The Re-
view said production rose to 47sper
cent of capacity, a gain Of slightly
more than per cent over the pre-
vious week.
The survey based its views on the
absence Of speculative buying and the
astonishing growth" of miscellaneous
buying, sustained consumer purchas-
ing of automobiles and accommodating
activity in the heavy industries.
Pronounced buoyancy of scrap
the most sensitive barometer of the
steel trade" was also cited by the
publication. 1t said scrap prices had
risen further ''in virtually all market
centers," hoisting the Iron Age scrap
composite from sll58 ton TO $ll.83
a ton, the highest since the third week
IT. February.
The report stated, however, that
there are indications that production
may soon level of. In this connection
it pointed out that the interruption
in motor car output is merely
tanporarv to allow for model change
overs"
Furthermore, it said, prospects for
the remainder Of the year are re-
garded as excellent.
Most encouraging and significant
Of recent developments is the grow
ing consumption Of steel by makers Of
machinery and equipment represent
ing the capital goods industries" it

children got their food and sat around

demand a fight with Baer. On
the other hand, should Schmeling
emerge the winner by a knockout or
by wide margain,, he will be offered
as the next victim of Baer's knockout
wallop. Joe Jacobs. the Germans
manager, is in Germany with a con-
tract tucked away among the load of
big cigars he carries with him. Not so
long ago Joe and Johnston would not
talk to each other. All that has been
changed. Joe, the diplomat, is willing
to break bread with his worst enemy
If only to get his Max another crack
at the title.
There you have the heavyweight
situation. Baer is willing to fight.
Hamas, Schmeling and Camera are
acceptable. The latter two we're
treated to knockouts by the champion.
HamaS, according to Baer's advisers.
is just strong, willing battler not
calculated to put over sleep punch.
Lasky could break this all I'D by
scoring decisively over Braddock and
over the winner of the Camera
1mpellitiere fight. He dropped dis
puted decision to Hamas and was the
only one who signed to fight Camera
when all others baked.
Johnston may be hanging on the
ropes at the present writing. But he
has not been counted out. Don't blot
him out until after Baer goes through
with the June fight. The champions

Willing to Meet Primo.

II j. Braddock down for a 15-round
battle. He also has the two giants,
Primo Carnera and Ray Impellitiere,
booked for a like distance. The win
ners Of these two brawls will be pitted
against each other. with the victor TO
be offered as a suitable opponent for
Baer.
According to Max. the Minneapolis
bomber. Lasky, is not ready for the
big chance. These are strange words,
coming from a champion. If a chal-
lenger earns the right to meet the
champion. it is not for him to belittle
the challenger's ability. 1t is up TO
the fans to decide whether the chal-
lenger is good enough to induce them
to pay their money to witness his
efforts.
Camera is acceptable to Baer. Con-
sidering what Max did to the giant
Italian last June, you cannot blame
him for wanting another opportunity
to smack Primo to the floor IL times
more.

morrow, broke Johnston's hold on the

Joe Louis. on the word of his trainer,
is not ready for Baer this year and
he is left out of the picture. There is
reason to believe Louis would not meet
Baer under any local promoters
auspices. The Midwest firm of Nate
Lewis and Jim Mullen has first call

Harrison Gets Break.

TOE HARRISON probably is the
happiest bowler In Washington. A
fortnight ago the No. duckpinner
OF the country thought he would be
deprived Of an opportunity to cling
to the high perch. A Government
employe, his hours were changed and
Joe was ur-able to make the bowling
dates Of his team, Occidental Res
taurant, likely winner Of the District
League pennant.
But the other day his boss came to
his rescue and Harrison now will be
permitted to finish the District League
schedule. This means more to Joe
than chance to retain the top rank
ing. It Is extremely probable it will
permit him to hang up an all-time
record for the District League and
become one Of the few bowlers ever
to win the championship of that all
star circuit more than once.
He needs five more sets to qualify
and half dozen remain on the sched-
ule. He Is so pins up on the record
established by Earl McPhilomy two
seasons back and needs only a pace of
1855 from here out to top the Earl.
Joe can hit that without effort. He
can average 345 for the six sets and
still win the championship unless his
closest rivals do better than $50. His
current average is 125-42 for 81
games. McPhilomy's record was
124-41 for SO strings.
McPhilomy and Harry Krauss are
the only bowlers to win the District
League championship more than once,
Earl having triumphed three times
and Harry twice. They share the dis
tinction Of having won twice in a row
probably the toughest title at stake in
duckpins. Harrison no doubt will be-
come the third to turn the trick,
