Cree|man Is Big Test
For Perry, looming
D. {. Lightweight

When Aaron Perry, hard hitting
District Negro lightweight, climbs
through the ropes tomorrow night
at Uline Arena for his nine-round
main event with Vic Creelman, he
will be completing one of the most
spectacular rises from obscurity ever
witnessed here.
1t has taken Perry only eight
months to climb fromsthe amateurs
to the main event. A product of
Police Boys Club No. 2, Perry was
lured into the pro game by Harry
Garsh, who first spotted him at the
Twelfth and U streets club last
March. Only 18 years old, Perry
was due for another year or two OF
amateur competition. but the
chances for colored amateurs not
being too good around Washington
he listened to Garsh and has had
no reason for regretting it.
At Griffith Stadium in June in a
four-round preliminary Perry made
his pro debut. He won by knock
out in the second round over Eddie
Davis, and since then his boxing
stock steadily has been climbing
He's had 10 pro battles and has
won 7 of them by knockouts.
Manager Harry Garsh has turned
down a $1,000 offer for a half inter-
est in the fighter he got for nothing
Perry will be up against a tough
boy in Creelman. Vic has won 81 of
80 pro fights. His string was snapped
last week when he dropped a split
duke to Billy Banks. Creelman is an
85 favorite for tomorrow's bout.

for national service legislation "can
only be understood as another po-
litical move toward appeasement on

The proposal of a national serv-

scheme to bring Fascistic controls
into this country under the false
guise OF wartime necessity or a po-

GEORGIA TOBACCO
AVERAGES $3S.97

VALDOSTA, Ga. Aug. 5.-P-
Flue cured tobacco sales in Geor-

Of the 1914 marketing season av-
eraged $38.97 per hundred pounds,
a figure slightly under the $50 cell
ing price set by the Office OF Price
Administration, the War Food Ad-
ministration reported today.
Average price during the five
sales days was $2.85 under the
first week sales in 1943, the to-
bacco branch Of the VIA said.
Gross sales for the week were
listed as 2,741, $3.50 for the five days
ending Friday, compared with 49,
392,525 for the first four days last
year.
Practically all offerings sold
from $37 to 81 per hundred this
year. the VIA said. The narrow
range was attributed to strong de-
mand coupled with the ceiling
price. Few reflections were observ-
ed, and heavy volume Of delivery to
warehouses continued throughout
the week.
Although no sales were held TO-
day the warehouses reported re-
ceipt of fresh offerings which in
dictated that sales would be heavy
when the markets reopen Monday.

SOIL IS DAMAGED
BY STORM TIDES

, High tide accompanying the tro-
pical storm which slapped the Will
mington area Tuesday evening did
considerable damage to the soil
in low-lying' fields along the sounds
by irnpregnating it with salt, ac-
cording to L. G. Willis, director
of the local Soil Research Labo-
ratory.
'Unless this is cleared out by
rain, many crops that might other
wise be grown successfully next
fall will fall" he observed.
During the storm of the fall Of
1888, soils in Cartaret, Pamlico,
and the neighboring counties were
submerged by salt water and
many were made unproductive for
several months, Willis explained.
Sandy soils were damaged more
than clays and recovery was slow
est where the ground water level
was normally high, he pointed
out.
Willis continued: Crops grown
on soils that are well supplied
with lime will be less damaged
by salt than will acid soils. 1t is
doubtful that beans, cucumbers,
squash, potatoes, or tomatoes
should be planted this fall on land
that has been flooded with sea
water, whereas beets, turnips, cab
bage, collards, mustard, and onion
can be grown successfully if plant
ing is delayed for about month
or until four to six inches of rain
has fallen.''

There was a double main event
on Hollywood's bright light fight
circuit last night and, unusually
enough in these impromptu bouts
between celebrities, some blood &C.
tually was shed.
Top half of the double feature
was Band Leader Tommy Dorsey
versus Actor Jon Hall, and the
battle, police reported, took place
on the balcony of the Dorsey apart
ment early this morning.
Hall, treated at an emergency
hospital for cuts about the face
and head, said sit was swell
fight until two other guys jumped
me-" He said he had met Dorsey
and Tommy's pretty wife, Pat
Dane, at a night club and had
been invited to the Dorsey home.
Later there was a little mis-
understanding and we got into a
fight" he reported.
The battle attracted quite an
audience among the neighbors and
their shouts of cheer attracted po-
lice and sheriff's officers. Hall was
able to drive himself to the hospi.
tai. Dorsey escaped with a bruised
nose and skinned knuckles. The
band leader could not be reached,
a servant reporting he didn't wish
to be disturbed.
The other half of the bill featured
Barney Oldfield, the former auto
