WORLDS AEAVYWEIGAT CHAMPION

And I can't forget the one
who gave me the greatest boxing
lesson in my life when outpoint-
ing me for the worlds light heavy
weight champion back in 1929
Tommy Loughran, who IS still
active as a heavyweight now
Tommy was then at his top speed
with as beautiful a sharpShootins
left as ever a boxer had. For
most of the Is rounds. he riddled
me with it and, though I gave him
many anxious moments in the
early part of the bout, Loughran
was truly a worlds champion
that night. Tommy also won the
greatest boxing duel I ever
watched as a spectator when he
outpointed Jimmy Slattery, then
on the upgrade and looking like
second Jim Corbett.
Loughran taught me much, espe'
cially about a left. Six years
later, my own left really proved
the difference in my duel with
Baer. He thought I was a right
handler only, hut it was the other
duke that did the most damage
But long before Laughran, an
other real ring star helped me
much. He is George Ward, one

Chapter Eighteen

Many say the spirit Of the late
William Muldoon, called 1.-THE
Solid Man" Of boxing. must have
been in the Garden Bowl and
with me the night I won the
title. AS far back as the spring
of 1928-more than seven years
ago-Mr. Muldoon and later on
Gene Tunney, too, picked me as
most likely to become the worlds
champion. Many things hap
pened since 1928 to make such
predictions look bad, but on the
night of June 13 last they came
true. Perhaps the spirit of Mr..
Muldoon was in the bowl and
in my corner.
Never will I forget that day
when Mr.. Muldoon told Gould
and me that I would reach the
top. It was soon after my knock
out of fluffy Griffiths. Joe and
were visiting the offices of the
boxing commission, of which Mr..
Muldoon was then the head. He
looked at me and said:
II enjoyed your victory. /
think you are going to be
heavyweight champion of the
world some day. / don't see
any reason why not"
Before Joe and could recover
our breaths, Mr.. Muldoon looked
sternly at my manager and, point
ing a finger at him, said:
"And yOu-G0uld-I'm going
to hold you accountable"
Many, many times-even when
working on the dockS-I thought
of Mr.. Muldoon's words and SO
did Gould, you can be sure. But
there were months and years
when they seemed but sad memo
ries Of the bright past. Then
came the Baer match and the
chance to make them good.

my Slattery in the ninth round
back in 1929 that I read in a
newspaper article that Gene Tun'
ney, who had retired from the
ring, predicted I would succeed
to his vacated title. Tunney hung
up his gloves, you may recall,
after stopping Tom Heeney for
whom I was a sparring partner
when he trained for his bout with
Gene. I agree with Tunney who
wrote in his own story that he
was at the peak Of his form
against Heeney.
Others who gave me great en-
couragement, outside my family
and close personal friends, were
the present U. S. Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley and former
mayor Jimmy" Walker, Of New

BILL TO FREE SIGNS
OF TAX LIABILITY
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, April 2O.-Through
the enactment of a bill by the Legis-
lature, Baltimore property owners will
be freed of liability to the city for
more than one years taxes on such
temporary bits of property as signs
and awnings, according to c. Philip
Pitt, secretary of the Real Estate
Board
Under the former law all minor
privilege taxes. he explained, became
a lien on the property involved, and
in some cases were permitted to &C
cumulate for a number of years.
In most cases the minor privilege
involved signs advertising the business
of the tenants" Mr.. Pitt said. Prior
to 1929 the city had no lien for such
taxes. but since that time all such
unpaid taxes have accumulated as
liens on the property involved. Under
the new law if the minor privilege tax
is not paid within stated time, the
permit is to be revoked, both the land
lord and the tenant notified to re-
move the sign. awning or other SINH
lar object, and if it is not removed
the city has the right to remove il.
and add the cost of removal to its
lien for one years taxes
The rule, however" Mr.. Pitt con-
cluded, does not apply to permanent
structures projecting beyond the
building line"

Merits of M0dernized
Equipment.

With the Nation-w wide observance
of Better Homes week attracting
throngs Of visitors to many model
housing exhibits throughout the coun-
try during the week Of April 70, con-
siderable interest is being shown in
air-conditioning systems for the home.
according to A. c. Roy. an official of
q prominent air-coOnditioning manu-
featuring firm.
1.-The work OF the Federal Housing
Administration and the financing pro-
visions of the National housing act,
which have stimulated the country
wide home modernization and new
housing programs. are also fastening
public realization Of the value of air
conditioning" Mr.. Roy said.
Although air conditioning Is q
comparatively new industry, 1t has
made tremendous strides over the past
year. It's first great progress has been
applied largely to railroad trains,
theaters and restaurants and to COM
mercial use in general. Within the
past year. however, it has attained
great significance as a factor for
home comfort, and various types Of
equipment for control of air conditions
have been incorporated in many hous-
ing programs. The better home Of
tomorrow will certainly be an air
conditioned home. for the time Is not
far of when dwellings that do not use
some form of air conditioning will be
outmoded and obsolete.
The activities Of the F. H. A. and
the resultant new interest in building
and modernization have played a con-
siderable part in dispelling q general
misconception that domestic air con-
ditioning Is beyond the reach Of the
average home owner" Mr.. Roy said.
Its application in various types Of
projects in recent months has shown
that air conditioning can be incor-
porated in moderately priced, as well
as higher priced homes"
