CHAMP WILL KEEP
DATE WITH FOLEY
Something Tangible Is Seen
at Last in Plans for
Chicago Bout.

HICAGO, April mo fooling!
At long last Heavyweight
Champion james j. Braddock
~ and his manager are going to
keep their GATE to talk plans with
Promoter Joe Foley for the title
holders proposed 15-round battle with
Joe Louis at Comiskey Park June %.
At least Foley didn't think there was
any fooling going on this time. Jacobs
announced Last night in New York
that he and Braddock would leave for
Chicago today to "see what the sit
uation IS" Foley had a nice, airy
hotel suite-the same one reserved
last week, but untenanted, as Brad
dock failed to show up, day after day
ready for the pair.
Foley was prepared to inform Jacobs
that Chicago wants the fight, point
the champions pilot was reluctant to
90 for last week. The Illinois House
of Representatives smothered the $40
top bill, removing Gould's biggest OBJ
lection to Chicago, and Mayor Edward
j. Kelly formally has stated that he
and his Charter Centennial Jubilee
Committee are eager to have Brad
dock and Louis slug each other here.
Louis Co-Pilot Arrives.
FURTHER indication that some
L thing tangible was brewing was
provided by the arrival last night Of
Julian Black, one Of the Brown
Bomber's co-managers. Black de-
tached himself from Louis barn.
storming party to look over training
sites, flve Of which have been sug-
gested.
Louis is expected to stop oil briefly
in Chicago next week before going to
Northern Minnesota or Wisconsin for
conditioning siege.
Foley said Gould's plans to Keep
the long-overdue appointment deli
nitely put the Chicago proposition on
its feet" but admitted he did not plan
to let enthusiasm get the better OF
him pending action in Madison Square

to fulfill his contract to. fight Max

Bolton and received no satisfaction
There was no contracting Cliff and
the message he left for any phone
callers was, in effect: The club
knows why I'm home and how to
get me-"
This, if nothing else, Is typical
of Bolton. He never had much
to say and the Browns, when
and if they do contact him,
undoubtedly will learn as much.
The chances are that St. Louis
interest In him will wane.
The attitude Of Grifnth and Man.
ager Bucky Harris appears to be
that they don't give hoot whether
Bolton wears a Browns uniform or
not.

Orlando Versus Biloxi.

CRIM-FACED and argumentative,

used their powers Of persuasion IN
hopes Of inducing the Washington ball

little speech, and wound up by prom

Meanwhile the Orla ndO
Chamber of Commerce is re-

shortly will approach Griff with
an invitation to return in 1888.

Griff, it can be safely said, is play
ing the old army game. 1t is to be
doubted if he has any intention Of
returning to Biloxi. Nobody con-

Browns Interest is Puulinx.

Browns Interest is Puzzling.
WTTHAL, it is very puzzling. Press
w agent copy" fresh out Of the
Browns camp at San Antonio, ap-
plauds the spirit of Rollie Hemsley
and the improvement of Rollie's young
understudy. Angelo Giuliani. Rogers
Hornsby is quoted as saying that
Hemsley will be the greatest catcher
in the American League this year.
Why, then, do they want Bolton?
Why should they figure that Gilt
might care to play for St. Louis, the
purgatory OF the American League,
instead of playing for Washington?
These, indeed, are questions calcu-
lated to puzzle.
At no time since Bolton first
came to the Nationals did he
make 1t plain that he was dis
pleased with the club or the
treatment he received.
True, he did hold out in 1894, citing
his wondrous average as q pinch
hitter the season previous, but that
matter was cleared up and Bolton
reported. His appearance was belated
but when he climbed into uniform,
he was given Luke Sewells job and
later, Luke even was sold down the
river.
This could only be construed as q
vote Of confidence in Bolton. Certainly
by no rational person could the WASH
ington clubs action be taken as any
thing but boost for the boy.
Hornsby Noted "Reformer."
WHEN Bolton disappeared last Au.
w gust, eventually to wind up al
High Point, he gave i'll health as his
excuse. He let 1t go at that. No one
ever heard q different reason.
The same true of Clf's last dis
appearance. When he reported tt
Orlando for Spring training, he os-
te1lsibly was in good spirits. Grif had
q minimum Of difficulty signing Bolton
to a contract. His leaving camp tc
20 home was marked by no expression
Of malice All Cliff said was that he
felt badly.
Maybe the Browns think they
could do something with him.
Rogers Hornsby has a way with
some ball players, At that.
Lyn Larry went to him with the rep
utation of being a night-club addic'
and a base ball ne'er-do-well. In 9
few months Hornsby had him playing
the best shortstop in the league.
But for all Of that, Bolton promises
to be different. For one thing, Lary
always was recognized as having the
ability to become star. Bolton, de-
spite several years Of service with
Washington, has yet to prove any
marked ability or promise Of such.
If Cliff goes to st. Louis,
which b doubtful, you can bet
on one thing-the Browns will
give nothing In the way Of
talent for him.
It will be q waiver TRANSACTION ano
Grif and Harris are convinced that
If they get the standard waiver pr1ce
of $500 for him they'll never have
cause to rue it.

change lying around in Buenos
Aires than they know what to do
with.
But the Argentine Government
has a hand claSped around the
mouth of the money bags. They
impose a 20 per cent exchange
surcharge on importations from
the United States. This means
that an American typewriter or
sewing machine must sell 20 per
cent cheaper to complete with a
British product.
Secretary Cordell Hull is fight
ing this surcharge, which he pri-
vately calls a discrimination
against the United States. Thus
far, however, he has failed.

is our paternaliStic government itself, sub
scribct to the ideology that if industry will
not find place on its payrolls for the jobless,
regardless of their worthiness or depend
ability. the government will give them jobs
and soak the taxpayer for their upkeep.
Another force working toward the SOvietl-
zatiOn of America is the Committee for In

Lewis an avowed exponent of industrial
democracy, polite phrase connoting State
Socialism or Bolshevism.
Still a third force. and the most sinister
is organized industry itself. The manufac-
turing class in America, highly organized
and hostile to the Soviet idea, is nevertheless
wtlessly driving the American people to a
serious consideration of the collective or
totaliarian state as the only guaranty of a
fair standard Of living. Let's see:
Compare the increased cost of living with
The relatively low increase in wages since
1873. During the four years ending last
March food prices climbed 1913 per cent. For
the same period prices of all other articles
sold in stores Clothing, furnishings, piece
goods. etc. rose 80 per cent. The cost of
living as whole went up 226 per cent be-
tween April 1888 and March 1887.
During this same period the cost of higher
wages IN essential industries has not been
more than two per cent, according to the
American Federation of Labor's Monthly
Survey OF Business. We have no means at
hand to verify this figure, but our observa-
ton locally, at least, is that it is conserva-

 The Mayor, who is elected annu- ally, three members of the City Council and one school director will be ending their term of office. Councilmen whose terms expire are William Reck, Art McKinnon, G. E. Krause. Holdovers are Ralph Beist- line, Frank McCaffery and Oscar Harri.
