More about the Hogues ano
Graves. but this time in a letter
from Paul Atwood. manager of the
Bomber. He reveals new angles
in the case. predicts the bout will
so to San Diego.
A Letter
Mr. Burdette Kinne, Sports Editor
Imperial Valley Post-Press
There seems to be general mis-
understanding as TO the various
reasons for the proposed Hogue-
Graves fight being delayed for
such a long period of time.
Let's see just what has held 1t
up, first. On the night that Big
Boy was meeting Pacho, Graves
isued challenge to either of the
Hogue twins. This challenge was
accepted by Shorty. Shorty told
Matchmaker Bahey that he (Shor-
tyl could sign any contracts but
that he would rather talk it over
with Linn Platner of San Diego
first as Linn had been their ad-
wiser on contracts up to the pres
ent time. This conversation took
place between Platner and the
twin and Platner told me himself
that it was all right. but that he
thought Shorty should have three
fights before tangling with Her.
man as it would be a tough fight.
Platner then signed him for two
fights in a row in San Diego. In
the meantime the FL Centro pro-
moters were trying to get permis-
sion from the city to stage the
fight in the stadium as it was
evident the arena would be unable
to accommodate the crowd.
An offer was made to Chief Os-
walt, who was conducting a drive
for funds with which to purchase
an iron lung for the valley. The
club offered to get a license from
the state for the holding of the
match in the new location to be
paid for by the club, then the ex-
pense of putting in the ring lights,
building the ring, establishing the
extra seats and all other expenses
would be paid from the receipts
including the purses to the fight
ers tax, etc, and the balance or
net profit would be split $3.50 with
the club and the Iron Lung Com
mittee.
The chief seemed to think it was
not only good idea, but a fair
offer from the club. AS l under
stand 1t, this offer was taken up
at meeting of the council, and
it was rejected, the council offer
ing to let the park for flat 25so
of the gross gate. After several at
tempts on the part of the club
officials to get a better deal out
of the city, the whole thing was
left up to Charley Blalack as park
commissioner and he seemed un-
willing to make any sort of con-
cession.
Now, let's see what it would
mean to the club to pay a rental
of 25To of the gross ticket sales:
25fo for rent, 10fo for federal tax,
So for the state tax, 25Fc of the
net tgross, less taxes to each of
the main event fighters. flat
$235 for the prelim boys, $50 for
the referee, $35 for transportation
of the fighters, S12 for the doctor,
$5 each for the announcer and the
timekeeper, around $50 for cards
and tickets, $40 for the ticket SELL
ers, and about $40 for ushers and
ticket takers.
1t doesn't take much figuring
to see where the club would come
out losing more money than they
have on the arena fights.

Ocean Freight Rate
Proposal Studied
By Committee
lnter-Americun Economic
Group Weighs Plan for
Reasonable CHARGES
By the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press
The nter-American Economic
Committee Is weighing a proposal
that it seek a conference between
representatives of shipping COM
panies and Government maritime
experts of the nations of this hemi-
sphere with view to maintaining
reasonable" ocean freight rates.
The proposal, included in a report
submitted by the commerce sub
committee, was discussed at yester-
days plenary session. and 1t was
agreed to resume consideration of
the matter at the next meeting
Saturday. It provided that the COM
mittee should consult with the
Maritime Commission on the pos
sibility of holding such a conference.
Ricardo Castro Beeche, Minister
Of Costa Rica. and Hugo Gouthier Of
the Brazilian Embassy staff. drafted
the subcommittee report. 1t ex-
pressed belief that "as the maritime
routes among the American re-
publics are not within the belligerent
zone, the imposition of exaggeratedly
high freight rates, disproportionate
to the risks, are not justified.
The subcommittee report dealt
with recommendations for improv-
ing maritime communications. COM
mercial interchange and commercial
credits among the American re-
publics.
In the event meeting Of shipping
agencies of the American republics
is found feasible. the subcommittee
suggested that special study be
given to maritime freight and in
surance rates and the possibility Of
organizing inter-American shipping
lines In the most adequate form to
assure efficient and rapid communi-
cation: taxes, tariffs, port fees and
formalities in the various American
republics.
The subcommittee said there was
4 possibility OF transferring United
States ships, tied up because of the
restrictions of United States neu-
trality laws affecting navigation in
the war zones, to the Atlantic and
Pacific routes of this hemisphere.
The Maritime Commission, under
this proposal. would be asked to
study with United States shipping
lines the feasibility Of the changes
and what concessions and subsidies
could be extended to the companies
to make the transfers possible.
