Pioneers Tie
Richmond &C
Sunday Evening

The hopes Of the Detroit Pioneers
winning their Thanksgiving Day
game with the Chicago Brown
Bombers lay upon the broad
shoulders of one husky halfback,
who has double duty to perform
for the holiday, since Detroits
representative team in The Midwest
Basketball League will need his
services that night against the Har-
lem Globe Trotters.
Wilbert King, former Pershing
high school and picked halfback for
the all-city team Of 1884, scored the
Pioneers only touchdown to tie a
Richmond team that hasn't beer
beaten in two years With the score
6 to 0 in Richmond's favor King
plunged the ball over from the
Richmond vineyard line to even the
score.

the case is a little eased by the
announcement that the place mas
been settled and the team will play

Now that the location is decided,

CLEARS UP
ARGUMENTS
By JIM BUTLER

All arguments concerning fighters
70 be entered in the welterweight
elimination for the state champion
ship were cleared up Monday after
noon in the office OF John ]. Hettche,
chairman of Michigan's boxing COM
mission.
POpa Dee Holds Out
Estimating his fighter, Harold
Smith, former midwest amateur
champion, to be built OF mueh finer
stock than the other welterweights
OF the state. Popa Dee, Harry John
son. staged a word-battle with Jim
Hart. promoter of the Fairview Gar
dens boxing shows, for almost two
hours before the two could come

toned out in the latest attire for
boxing managers, held an audience
OF newspaper men and the commits

matte effort to gain rs per cent OF

fought in-the- elimination contest.
instead OF 1917 percent which Hart
stated that all the managers will re-
ceive.
1t was Popa Dee fight all the
way with Hart getting inf a word or
two every now and then. Com
missioner Hettche requested that the
two men come to a decision within
twenty minutes or Harold Smith
would be left out OF the tournament
kPopa Dee who has a third interest
in the sensational welterweisht and
shares the other two-thirds with
Samuel W. Barr offered to let Smith
fight for charity before he would
allow Harold to battle for Harris
l2h percent.
Settles For az Less
Dee then offered to fight in the
tournament if Hart would agree to
Just give him the money for the
tickets he sold and not pay Smith
anything out Of the money that was
sold by the house, which Hart re-
fused. Hart had reason to refuse an
Sffer like that because Popa Dee is
<one of the best ticket sellers in the
business. During the zoe Louis and
Bob Pastor fight in Briggs stadium
he sold S68, 300 worth OF tickets.
After the twenty minutes were up
the two finally agreed on giving
Popa Dee 10 percent Of the tickets
he sold and 1871 percent of the
house. Hart and johnson then shook
hands and signed papers on the deal.
The names OF the fighters in the
elimination were placed in Popa
Dee's big beaver hat and Dee pulled
the name Of George Riley as Smiths
opponent. But iuasnuch- as Rtiey-is
meeting Mansfield Drisccll in the
opening bout Of the tournament, it
iwas decided to match Smith against
Ithe winner OF Fridays bout. The
fighter who breaks through over
these two bouts will fight Joey
Miehielove for the championship
belt.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 3.-Stocks rail-
lied consistently today under de-
termined but cautious buying.
Quotations advanced from frac-
tions, early in the session, to as
much as or more points at the best.
1t was an interesting days trade,
starting as desultory bargaining and
ending with volume approaching
100000 shares-half again as large
as yesterdays.
Bullish factors, oddly enough, ap-
peared to be lack of any kind of
pertinent news, domestic or foreign.
Europe, for a change, was quiet and
nothing of major business impor-
tance was forthcoming from WASH
ington. Traders seemed to accept
this situation as reason to acquire
stocks.
The average price rise was the
greatest experienced in Wall Street
since President Roosevelt's message
to Hitler and Mussolini April Is.
Leaders in the advance included
General Electric, Du Pont, Chrysler,
General Motors, United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet &
Tube, Montgomery Ward, Case, In
ternational Harvester, Allied Chem
ical, American Telephone. Santa Fe,
Cerro de Pasco and Texas Corp.
Commodities were generally frac-
tionally higher, with the price of
silk topping the list with a rise of
6i2 cents pound.
