GIVE FANS SLANT
May Not Be Financial Flop,
but Gate Is Unlikely to
Exceed S250,000.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEw YORK, June 12.-Despite
N its dramatic prospects and the
Y probability it will be a sur
prisingly hard-fought match,
the world heavyweight championship
fight between Champion Max Adelbert
Baer and Challenger James ]. Brad
dock tomorrow night has failed to
arouse either the fine frenzy of ex-
citement or the sharp differences OF
opinion generally associated with SUCH
momentous fistic affairs.
1t may not be a financial flop, all
things considered but it certainly
lacks drawing power. Madison Square
Gardens promoters predict a gate"
of $500 at their Long Island City
bowl, but on the basis of advance sales
they appear to be optimistic. 1t may
not exceed $250,000.
Held No Match by Baer.
THE widespread impression that
l. Braddock, while very game and
deserving young man. is no match for
the free-swinging, colorful and con-
fdent Californian has. no doubt. az
fected the advance interest, or lack of
1t. Braddock's record, despite his
comeback within the past year, hardly
justifies much confidence in his
chances.
During the four years since 1881, in
which Bae. has fought his way to the
top, Braddock has been whipped nine
times. The Jersey battler is three
years older. slower and carries less
potent punch than the champion.
These indisputable facts account
largely for Baer status as Stool choice
in most betting books on Broadway.
There's no Braddock money, even at
that figure
Braddock does not figure to win,
but the bunch in this corner is that
he will make it interesting for Baer
and display the kind of courage that
brings a fighter up from the resin to
turn the tide. Jimmy has stamina
and punching ability to go with his
eameness. He has nothing to lose and
everything to gain by carrying the
fight to Baer whenever he gets a
chance.

Odds on Historic Battles.

HERE, culled from an attic full of

which gave Sullivan his world su-

New Orleans.
Corbett was to over Fitzsim-

Willard was roughly 10 to 9 over

heavyweight title fights.
Dempsey was to over Tunney at

cause of most of the alterations of the

"A thousand things are done inter-

been done in the past. We condemn
them now but they would not have

that we apply today in our judgment

ferent standard from that which was
applied when England acquired India,

DUKE PROFESSORS CONCUR.
Results of Experiments With Clair

DURHAM, N. c., December l3 P).-
Although large segment of the scien-
tific world scoffed today at DR.. Alexis
Carrel's assertion that there was posi-
tive evidence Of clairvoyance, 1t found
support among Duke University psy-
biologists.
DR.. j. B. Rhine for several years has
conducted research in parapsychology
-psychical phenomena-under spon-
sorship of DR.. william McDougall,
head of the Duke department Of psy-
chology, and the results tend to bear
out the statement Of the Rockefeller
Institute researcher.
THE conclusions from the Duke eX-
priments," DR.. Rhine said, ARE that
both telepathy and clairvoyance are
demonstrated by many normal human
beings if the right conditions are pro-
vided, but they are both very delicate
capacities and are commonly not dis
coverable."
DIR. Rhine added that the general
trend of the Duke experiments was
toward the conclusion that the mind is
not governed by the laws of mechanics,
as most psychologists have been in
clned to think.
Rather" he said, ut is distinctly
non-mechanistic, at least in these un-
usual capacities"
DR.. McDougall has maintained such
a position in his writings.
In 1880, after three years Of expert
ments, Dr.. Rhine published a book,
"Extra-Sensory Perception" which re-
vealed startling results obtained here.

REPORT FINISHED
ON CRIME PROBE
Rough Draft to Be Submit.
ted to Committee on
Wednesday.

A rough draft of comprehensive
report to be submitted to the House
on the results of two-month inves-
tigation of vice and crime in the Dis
trict was virtually completed today
by the special Crime Committee
headed by Representative Randolph,
Democrat, of West Virginia
The committee will meet in execu-
tive session Wednesday to put its
stamp of approval on the report.
Framed by John r Fitzpatrick,
committee counsel. the report is said
to contain a number of recommended
tions for improving the Districts law
enforcement and prosecution machin-
cry. Some of the major changes. 1t
was explained, will require legislation.
Preliminary Recommendation.
The committee already has made
one important preliminary recommen-
dation-that the personnel of the
Metropolitan Police Department be
increased by 141 and that the old sec
ond precinct be re-estahlished. This
precinct was abolished curing the ad-
ministration of former Commissioner
Crosby.
The need of 141 additional officers
was stressed by Police Supt Ernest
w. Brown when he appeared be-
fore the committee. He pointed out
he had included an item in his budget
estimate last year for that increase,
but the Commissioners reduced the
number to 35. The Budget Bureau,
however, refused to approve any ad-
ditional men.
Impressed BY Maj. Brown.
The committee was impressed with
Maj Browns testimony, and, before
starting the draft of its formal report,
issued preliminary report recon-
mending that Congress make provi-
sion for the increase in the 1896 Dis
trict appropriation bill. The Senate
approved the recommendation and
added an item to the bill to provide
the 141 additional officers. This Is
one of the items that will have to be
thrashed out with the House when
the bill goes to conference some time
this week
Aside from improvement in the law
enforcement and prosecution ma
chinery, the committee also is expected
to recommend changes in the indeter-
inmate sentence and parole law, and
the creation of a paid and adequately
stated parole board.

Advanced Program Enables
1t to Plan Expenditure

Surface indications pointed today
to the possibility that $1,000, 900, 900
of the administrations work-relief
fund may be spent on streets and
highways.
The Bureau of Public Roads, it was
said, has got the jump on other spend

and other projects contracted for un-

contracts are to be met with work.

State highway departments were
reported to have detailed programs
for crossing eliminations. trunk-line
routes through cities, arterial high
way improvements and the like ready
for consideration as soon as President
Roosevelt indicates the sum he wants
to spend in this direction.
Up to 5000, 900, 900 Possible.
The President said at a press con-
ference last week that between $780,
600, 900 and $200,000,O00 will be used
to eliminate grade crossings.
An official expressed belief today
that 1000 hazardous crossings could
be made safe by expenditure Of the
larger amount. But it was recalled
that Arthur w. Brandt, president OF
the American Association of State
Highway Officials, advised a congress
sional committee recently that States
were prepared to wipe out 4,058 dan
gerous crossings if as much as S46l,-
881.500 were made available. He said
S277 ,567 500 of such projects could ba
completed in a year.
Brandt reported also that State
officials were ready to begin construc-
tion-or widening and strengthening
of i,739 trunk-line routes through
cities at a cost of S208, 1872 800.
