739 Million
Lbs. Tobacco
Apportioned
N ort h Carolina's
Quota of Flue-Cured
for Year Is 485,678'-
600 Pounds

Washington. July % (AP)-The
AAA announced today the apportion
ment of a national flue-cured tobacco
market quota of 739, 06S,0O0 pounds for
1888. among the six bright-leaf pro-
ducing states. The quota was divid-
ed as follows.
Virginia. 65,45S,000 pounds.
North Carolina, 485,6780OO
South Carolina 84,3O2OOO
Georgia, 7105S,OO0.
Florida, 11,0O7. 900. f.
Alabama, 100000.
A total of 21,250,00O pounds of tha
marketing quota was reserved for
farms in all states on which no fluC-
cured tobacco has been grown in tho
last five years.
The original national flue-cured to-
bacco quota under the new farm act
was set at 705,000000 pounds, but
subsequent amendments raised it to
733,000,000 pounds. The 39,068000
pounds figure was reached by the
AAA by invoking a clause in the new
law which prohibited the quota from
any state from being less than rs
per cent of 1885 production.
Meantime, the government stands to
refund $60O8,353 collected under thu
repealed cotton and tobacco levies Of
1884. Internal revenue officials ara
preparing regulations to govern the
system of making repayments ordered
by the recent Congress. The Bank
head cotton control act and the Kerr
tobacco act, by which the taxes wer"
imposed, were repealed in 1885 after
the Supreme Court invalidated the
agricultural adjustment act
Bureau officials said application
blanks for repayments would be-
ready for distribution to collectors of
interlan revenue "any day now"
Collections of the cotton and to-
bacco tax by states during the fiscal
year 1935-36, included: North Carolina

 ABLE WORCESTER BOXING ARRAY
Lightweight Stars Clash Thursday -CiarlO vs
 Wilson

Opportunity may knock but once, but Dick Turcotte, the fighting Frenchman has been listening for two years and when he gets a chance against the New England lightweight king, Art Dulmaine of Worcester Thursday night, his flstic wares should go sky high, if the local lad can put over anything that remotely resembles K.O. Turcotte, 1887 state lightweight champion is one of the classiest bits of ring ma- terial to be developed in Connecti- cut for many year, and, being a southpaw, promoters have found it necessary to go out of the state to secure opponents who will give him a fight"
 Bad News
 The good lightweights in Connec- ticut want no part of Turcotte, be- cause he is not only first rate box CT and a strong puncher, but a left handler in the bargain. Which is why Dulmaine enters the picture, as his handlers up Worcester way think he is good enough to cope with any 135 pounder in Connecti- cut black or white, right or left handed, tall or short. All of which points to 8 blazing bout that will probably be uncertain as to the winner until the final minute of the third round.
 CiarlO vs. Wilson
 In addition to the Iurcotte-Dul- maine affair, there is Harry Will son of the Worcester who takes on Tommy Ciarlo, state 135 pound champion, who will be out to re- deem himself since losing to Irish Johnny Hayes of Bridgeport for the second time last week.

 THE EDITOR.
 @. who was the pitcher in the 1924 World Series between Washing ton and New York, who pitched to only one batter, yet technically won the game for Washington?
 A. In the second game of the Series, played in Washington, Tom Zachary, Washington pitcher, was taken out in the ninth inning, with the score tied, two men out, and one runner on base. Fred Marberry re- placed Zachary and struck out Jack son, retiring the side. Washington won the game in their half of the ninth inning, but because he had pitched to only one batter, Mar berry was not officially credited with winning the game.
 o. How much money did Joe Lois get for his fight in 1887 against Tommy Farr?
 A. He received $102,588.
 o. Was there any show betting on the race horse Jim Dandy when he scored his famous upset defeat of Gallant Fox?
 A. Jim Dandy was held at odds of 100 to 1 to win, 10 to 1 for place and even money for show. Of the other three starters in the race there was no place or show bettnig on Gallant Fox or Whichone, and no show betting in Sun Falcon.

BY ART KREN3z NEA Service Golf Writer

Johnny Revolta played one of his finest shots in the Pasadena open last winter. It was made on the 17th hole a dogleg to the left.
 Revolta cut the fairway too close ly His tee shot nestled close to a fence. Either side of the fairWay was out of bounds. But Revolta found just enough room to stand between the fence and the ball, which was 160 yards from the green.
 Selecting a No. 5 iron, he de- cided to play hook shot to keep the pellet from going out of bounds to the right. The ball did go out of bounds, but after it travelled about 10 yards out, it hooked sharp ly, and ran onto the green. The Evanston professional sank the putt for a birdie three.
 Close the face of the club in play ing shot of this type. A very flat swing should be employed. This causes the hands to roll into the shot.
 A common fault among average players is that in their attempt to keep the swing upright they get into the habit of bringing the club up too quickly. They lift 1t abrupt ly instead of taking it back in a straight line, low and close to the ground.
 Start the swing with a push from the left shoulder. Allow the hands to lead the clubhead until it leaves the ground naturally.

LOUIS PLANS A QUICK KNOCKOUT
 IF MAX MIXES
Champ Will Fight Back; Schmeling to Protest
 Special Gloves

Pompton Lakes, N. J., June IA (UP)-The die of the Joe Louis- Max Schmeling heavyweight title fight week from tomorrow night has been cast SO far as the cham pion is concerned. Louis will tear out and try to nail his man from the opening bell.
 "Ain't no use foolin' around like I did las time," Joe said. If he'll stand up and fight me, I'll knock him out befo' the second rounds over. Course if he dogs it for while, it'll take four or five"
 "Smellin' didn't give me my first licking, was beaten as an amateur, but I came back to win later from everyone of 'em. Smellin' ain't no different from the rest. I know how to fight him now. If he'll mix it with me this time, the fight won't go three rounds"
 Louis trainer, Jack Blackburn, was equally positive that "Chappie'' has learned all the answers since he was tagged by Schmeling's right in 1886.
 Sounds Nice
 "No fighter can ever be great fighter until he takes one good lick ing and learns enough not to let it happen again." Blackburn said. "Joe's had his and he ain't gonna take another one, at least not one from Schmeling. He learned too much to let Schmeling keep whal- ing away with those right hands again.
 Ever since that fight, whenever he was hit by a right, he has fought back. Look what he did to Brad dock after he had been knocked down by right. Braddock knows what's gonna happen if Schmeling lands one of those straight rights this time, and that's why he's pick ing Joe to win by a knockout"
 Joe plans to box four rounds with two sparring partners today.
 NO SPECIAL GLOVES
 Speculator, N. Y., June 14.-Max Schmeling, German challenger, who will meet Joe Louis for the heavy- weight title June 9, resumed box ing drills today.
 Max announced that Doc Casey, expect fight handler who has been in his corner in most of his Ameri- can fights, would be one of his sec onds. The second second will be trainer Max Machon. Whether his manager, Joe Jacobs, will act as a third second, depends upon whether his license is renewed by the box ing commission. It was revoked be- cause he couldn't make his No. 2 fighter, beer drinking Tony Galento, adhere to the commissions train ing wishes. Schmeling will ask Chairman John J. Phelan to rein- state Jacobs.
 Max .aid he would also protest Louis wearing gloves especially made in Chicago with longer thumbs.
