ZoIe, Abrams Cannot
Clear Middle Middle
BY JOHN LARDNER.
Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK; Sept. l tNAN.A). e.
-MiddleWeight champions never
must meet, though they come from
the ends of the earth. This being
true, Mr.. Michael Sebastopol Jacobs
has done the next best thing by
matching a member of one middle
weight herd with a member of the
other.
Anthony Zale, world middleweight
champion of the Western middle
weight herd, will meet George
Abrams, highly esteemed in the
Eastern middleweight herd for his
nuisance value.
To match champion against
champion, zale against William
Soose. would be too sensible. 1t
would leave things too uncompli-
Gated. The trained boxing mind
recoils from such simple solution
to the world middleweight problems.
Therefore. Zale meets Abrams,
which means nothing except the
two herds are getting together at
last. There has been a schism in
the ranks ever since the day Co
rilla Jones won an extra world mid
dleweight championship in a crap
game. The two herds have roamed
apart, each claiming the supreme
dominion of the universe.

MiddIeweiehts Portio'
To Fioht MuddIe

Mr.. Hym1e Caplln, now IN the
cooler bemoaning his association
with poker players, also was rhap-
sodic about Hostak, and Hymie was
a shrewd judge. He visited Seattle
twice with Solomon Krieger Solo,
mon managed to sneak away with
one decision over Hostak, but this
cid not blind Mr.. Caplin to the
genius Of the Western Kid.
AS soon as he learns a few more
things said Hymie, he'll be one
of the greatest middleweights Of all
time
Well, before he learned few more
things his hands were useless, and
today it is Mr Zale, the strong, but
plodding artisan from Chicago by
way of Gary, Ind, who represents
the Western herd as champion.
Mr.. Zale is welcome. Of course,
If he beats Mr.. George Abrams, or
if Mr.. Abrams beats him, things
will be more complicated than ever,
but that's the way the middleweights
like it. The hippopotamus is partial
to mud, and the middleweight to a
muddle.

Hostok Must Have Been
FIGHTER Worth SEEING

Hostak twice was beaten by Zale.
Before the ruin of his hands re-
duced him to this level, he was the
kind of champion the public takes
to its heart. fast, aggressive, mur-
derous hitter with either glove, full
of the eagerness of youth and ready
to carve the future to his measure.
For economic reasons he seldom
fought beyond the city limits of
Seattle. Your correspondent never
saw him in action, and used to josh
him mildly for his home town COM
pleX and to question his existence,
but the truth Of the matter is that
I heard enough of Al Hostak from
expert eyeWitnesses to know he was
a fighter worth seeing.
Old Jack Dempsey, the wandering
arbitrator, refereed one of Hostak's
fights and came back with lyrical
accounts OF the boys punching gift
Old Jack has plugged many lame
athlete in whom he owned stock.
but he owned no particle of Hostak'S
torso, and his opinion was unbiased

100 Million Pounds
A Yeur to Be Far

A proposed increase in American
dried egg production from the pres

annually to a capacity well in ex-
cess of l0O,000,000 pounds" was an
nounced today by defense officials.
The Once OF Production Manage
ment said that the program was
necessary to meet British require
ments under the lend-lease program
of about 100, 10000 pounds of dried
eggs year. American require
ments. including needs OF the Army
and Navy, are estimated at about
1000 900 pounds for the next II
months.
The o. p. M. Priorities Division
issued the first of a series of pref
erence ratings in order to provide
necessary materials for the con-
struction of between IS and 40 new

Greatest production of dried eggs
has been in Texas, Oklahoma and
Missouri, officials said, but new
capacity is being developed in Illi-

Officials said that between S50, ,00t

Auto Manufacturers
Welcome Fixing Of
New Quotas
Effects of Order Will
Not Be Noticeable
Until November
By DAVID J. WILKIE,


DETROIT, Aug. While the
effects of yesterdays orders for an
immediate 26.5 curtailment in pas
senger production will not be notice
able until well into November, the
announcement of definite produc-
ton quotas for the first four months
of the new-model year was well
coined throughout the manufacture
ing division of the industry.
The car manufacturers pointed
out that the fixing of individual
quotas will enable the various pro-
ducers to make plans for the period
covered by the ALLEGATION order not
only in the processing of materials
on hand, but also in fixing work
schedules and in preparing to carry
out an earlier edict for the elimina-
ton of all non-essential brlghtWork
on the new models.
Pleased by Order.
The automobile producers gener-
ally had expected an aggregate out
put ALLEGATION of 100000 cars during
the first four, months. Thus the de-
cision to permit production of 817.-
900 passenger vehicles along with
sharp stepping up of truck assem-
blies brought no disappointment.
Many plans related to production,
however. had to await the deter
mination of definite and individual
company quotas.
Announcement that ultimate cur
tailment for the 1912 model period
may cut passenger car output TO ap-
proximately 2,l50,000 vehicles, or so
per cent under the l94l model year
total also was not expected. There
are many among the car makers and
trade experts who regard eXpecta-
tions of an eventual 80 per cent
curtailment as an optimistic view
of the outlook
In discussions that already have
taken place consideration was given
to the effects upon employment and
the Nations motor transport re-
QuirementS of a curtailment of as
much as Is per cent as we'll as a
complete. if temporary. cessation of
all passenger car output later in the
model year.
Adjustment Faced.
Until such time as the defense
industries can absorb them. from
10000 to 100000 automobile factory
workers will be made idle by the
production curtailment. according
to labor leaders
These leaders intimated that in
factories that have been working
a to 43 hours a week during the
recent heavy production months, a
spreading of work may be achieved
by reducing weekly working aver
ages to 80 hours. With a proSpec-
tive production curtailment that
will become progressively deeper
after November schedules have beer
filled. however, most labor union
heads expect the work-spreadlng
program to be only partially Sue
cessful.
