New York Feb. q CUPj-stoclxs had
their widest decline OF the year Wednes-
day on what Wall Street interpreted as
federal reserve drive to eliminate an
speculation from the markets
Transactions. though slightly under
Tuesday. exceeded the million-share mark
for the 18th consecutive fun session.
Principal reason given for the decline
was The recommendation OF Mariner 6.
Eccles, chairman Of the federal reserve
board, that a wartime excess profits tax
be applied TO speculative gains on stocks
and real estate. However. technical fac
tors also played a part since the market
had risen for eight straight sessions to
new highs for more than seven years.
Approach OF the holiday Thursday also
brought in some evening up operations.
The EccleS statement confirmed in the
Wall Street mind recent rumors the fed
eral reserve planned TO eliminate all
margin trading. That rumor has neither
been confirmed nor denied by the federal
government.
Losses were reduced before the close by
several favorable factors. including the
regular dividend on American Telephone,
and publication OF several favorable cor
poration reports. Railroad shares met sup
port.
chrysler came back a point from its
low American Telephone rose on the
dividend Selective buying by investors
brought some gains of a point or better.
American Smelling continued strong in
the nonferrous metals. Gold and silver
mining issues made new highs on in

Byrnes Cheers
Big Leaquers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. CUP)-
BaSeball's 1945 prospects appeared
brighter Wednesday after a confer
ence between the major league
presidents and War Mobilization
Director James F.. Byrnes yesterday
brought forth no new obstacles for
the spCrt.
Ford Frick of the American league
and Will Harridge of the National
league were optimistic after the
hour-long conference on 'manpow-
er" and said that they were all set
to complete plans for the opening
of the season in April.
Frick and Harridge We're to see
one other government official today
to wind up their trip here. They
would not reveal his name, but it
was believed that he vas Col. j.
Monroe Johnson, head CT the Office
of Defense Transportation.
Frick said during an interview
that he and Harridge did not come
to Washington for a flat statement
of policy on baSebalfs future.
Rather he said, they came tc dis
cuss and to weigh their problems
against those the government has in
mobilizing production and the
armed forces. They can then deter
mine, he said, whether it will be
worth while going on with plans
for the 1945 season.
Neither would reveal the exact
nature of their conference with
Byrnes.
"Manpower was discussed in
rather broad terms" Frick said.
Transportation and night games
were not"
He said the discussion had been
profitable" and that Byrnes was
cordial and kindly"

By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Feb. 81. CUP)-Sher-
if Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul ar
rested attention along Jacobs Jetty
today with the assertion that no
man ever lived who could slug it
out with Jack Dempsey, when he
was at his peak, because Of his par
aiyzing liver punch
: Gibbons, who tried to wrest the
heavyweight title from Dempsey at
Shelby, Mont, on July 4, 1923, en-
phasized that he included the pres
ent champion, Sergeant Joe Louis.
The liver punch"-a smashing
/ left hook somewhat below an op-
ponent's right arm pit-was the
secret of Dempsey's success, Glib
bons insisted during a chat at the
Waldorf Astoria. He called the blow
the most effective one that a boxer
can land.
URGES USE OF BLOW
Urging that young fighters add
the punch to their repertoire, be-
cause the liver is the real center
OF solar plexus of the body and not
the pit OF the stomach as is COM
monty believed" Gibbons saiG that
learning how to use it transformed
him from boxer into a knockout
specialist.
Gibbons. a solid. heavy set fellow
with thinning brown hair and
left ear that is little cauliflowered
from his ring days, has been sher-
if of Ramsay county (St. PauD
Minnesota, for 10 years. He came
east recently to be present at the
commissioning of the new cruiser
st. Paul at Boston.
Talking in high, staccato voice
that reminded of the machine-gun
conversation of Fritzie Zivic, Glib
bons told about how he learned of
the lethal delivery to the liver
Il fought in So pro bouts from
1913 to 1921 and had only five
kncckouts,' he said. In 1920, I met
couple of fighters from Cleveland
named the Brock brothers, Matt
and Bill These fellows were doing
we'll knocking out fighters anG
learned from them about the liver
punch in which they used terrific
left hook"
Gibbons said he started working
on it Immediately and developed
suddenly into a knockout artist.
From 1921 to 1925 when he retired
after being knocked out by Gene
Tunney he had "a fights and scored
20 knockouts.
GOT PUNCH IN EARLY
One of my knockout victims in
1921 was Fat Willie Meehan of
California ne said. Il knocked him
cut in the first round anG when he
came to he asked me where I had
gotten that punch, which he said
was the same thing Dempsey had
ceen trying TO use on him"
Meehan said he fought Dempsey
three times in four FOUNDERS. The
first time Dempsey was just devel-
oping his famed left hook and hit
Meehan with the liver punch but
