thought the odds should be on Baer

ThereIl be less betting on this one
than any heavyweight championship

The Big Circus.
nAKMONT was something more
~ than the scene Of the open golf
championship. It also was q major
sporting circus.
There was Sammy Byrd of the Gin
cinnati Reds, who had just shot So
with a crippled leg and who could
beat nine-tenths of the field with a
weeks practice. Only Jimmy Thom-
son in all this medley Of long distance
maulers can outdrive him.
There was Dizzy Dean, who followed
the parade and who felt low in mind
because he had been charged with
mot bearing down" What about Go
meg and Rover" he asked. 1--WE won
more games than they have"
And there was an old Olympic
friend who suddenly loomed up as a
stranger-Babe Didrikson, with her
hair marcelled, wearing fancy clothes,
The Texas Babe has teamed up with
Gene Sarazen for q golf tour.
"Joyce wethered hits . golf ball
better than most men," Gene told me.
Her technique Is Just about perfect.
But the Babe has her chance. She
has . fine grip, q flne swing, al the
power man needs, and she Is q great
competitor. She has amazing posEt-
bilities for Q woman golfer, and be-
ieye I can bring her down to the low
70s. She can drive ESQ yards, far be-
yond any woman, and she has hands
stronger than most men. And that's
where you play golf-with the hands. "
That statement brought up the pic
ture Of the Babe lifting tavelin ct
the Los Angeles Olympic games, throw
ing 1t on dead line for q new record
and then complaining because it had
slipped.
Here's a funny angle" Gene Sara

Clarence Budington Kelland, the

There was almost . riot among the
experts, who explained to him tnat nc

best golfers In the world over the
worlds toughest course. "One--yes,
they said. .s3ut not 20. The odds
should be 400 TO !"
But Sam Parks won--and two S0-to-

what odds would you have given
that Dizzy Dean, Lefty Gomez and
SchooIboy Rowe would lose more bah
games before June 8 than they lost
through the entire season Of 1884?
You could have got plenty on that
one-but here it is.

N YEW YORK, June 1l.-Jim
M Braddock, the Cinderella Kid,
will be heavily backed by

when he steps into the Long Island
ring with Max Baer Thursday night.
The hard-bitten boys came in from

his training in two rounds OF boxing

slugger who seemed to be going places

Baer do with his crushing right-hand

Those wise in the business Of
evaluating fighters gave Braddock o
small chance to win. Some said the
former longShoren1an was q 100-to-1
shot.
Others, however, having in mind his
durability through O career Of twice
as many fights as Baer, said they
would not be surprised If he upset
the dope.
He licked Art LaSky when Lasky

to direct some verbal shots at Arthur
Donovan, the referee.
He said he would refuse to fight If
Donovan, who handled his fights with
Schmeling and Camera, was chosen
as referee.
"I won't stand for Donovan In the

the Camera fight. Why, he stepped
in front of my right hand no less than
five times in the first round. If he
hadn't done it I might have fattened

clearly that the bill could not receive
the necessary two-thirds vote to pass
over veto, although they admitted a
majority would support the measure.
In the House. Representative Con-
merry of Massachusetts,, chairman Of the
Committee on Labor, is planning to
hold hearings on an old-age pension
bill. despite the fact that the admin
iStration bill has been referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
Connery insists his committee will
bring out pension bill more satisfac-
tory to the majority of the House.
If the House considers the economic
security bill under the general rules
of that body, there will be opportu-
nifty to offer plenty of amendments.
1t will be up to the leaders and the
Rules Committee to determine
whether that course is to be followed
or whether the measure is to be con-
sidered under a special rule which
would limit amendments.
= The economic security bill, re-
garded as one of the most important
measures yet to be advanced by the
administration, will be considered
carefully. Congress leaders insist.
Many questions are raised by some of
its provisions. Among them is the
fate of the old-age pension plans al
ready in effect in many concerns in
many parts of the country. Whether
anything can be done which would
exempt such concerns from the oper-
alton of the tax to be levied by the
Government on pay rolls to pay the
age pensions is a question, particu-
larly If these pensions are more liberal
than those provided in the bill.

FURTHER MARKET
CONTROL PLANNED
Unlisted Securities LegisIa-
ton Considered by Ex-
change Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission is considering asking Con-
gresS for additional authority to con-
troll over-the-counter markets hand
ling about $4,000 100000 worth of
security business annually.
This was disclosed yesterday in tes-
timony Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy
gave the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee in asking for more funds for
the commissions stock exchange
regulatory activities.
The present law. Kennedy said, was
inadequate to handle the over-the-
counter business, in which securities
are sold directly to investors without
going through exchanges.
The chief objective of new legisla-
ton or rules would be to subject over
the-counter transactions to regulation
by the commission on an even basis
with registered exchanges.
The commission has been studying
this problem for some time and still
hopes to take some steps without ad-
ditional legislation. Already moving
to enlist the cooperation of the In
veStment Bankers Association in
registering securit. dealers through
out the country, it also is seriously
contemplating requiring some sort of
registration or licensing of these
dealers.
Due to the unorganized state of the
over-the-counter markets they have
received little public attention. Mem
bers Of the commission said that steps
to stop swindling of investors are
more important in this field than on
regular exchanges. Regular exchanges
enforce rules of their own. and the
public nature Of exchange transac-
tions enables closer examination.
The over-the-counter market may
involve merely dealer and a buyer
The dealer offers a security to an in
vestor, and the security, generally
unlisted, has no known open market
value. The investor may be without
knowledge as to his purchase.
Commission members claim, how
ever, over-the- counter markets serve
legitimate purpose; that they are
essential to investors wishing to buy
unlisted securities and to trade in Sc
curities not listed on exchanges.
