Bout Postponed

The Ezzard Charles and Jimmy
Bivins boxing match scheduled for
August 8, was re-scheduled tenta-
lively for September 10, at a
meeting of the District Of Column
bia boxing commission today.
The fight earlier had been post
poned from tonight.
Reason for the postponement
was a back ailment which Charles
claimed prevented his training. He
was examined today by three box
ing commission physicians and
pronounced fit to fight August 9.
Jack Mintz, his manager, declared,
however, that his fighter was not
in shape to go through with the
August 8, date and would not
do so.

Steals 100000

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3. "a
Nr)-Ten men, four white and
six Negro, we're rounded up last
week ana held for a series of bur
laries and robberies which amount
ed to over 100000. The tipoff
came when police overheard three
Of the men talking about going to
Lowell, Mass, to seal some of the
jewels taken in the Breyer rob-
berry of 1889.
LII. Charles Beckman, of the de-
tectige bureaus prowl squad, said
the gang was as well organized as
q business mems association and
that their activities extended into
South Jersey and Philadelphia's
suburbs. The gangs exploits, ac-
c0rdlng to Beckman, are as bl-
zarre as any the city has ever
seen.
The brains of the gang were
attributed to 34-year old Benny
Diadone of Camden, n. j., who,
according to police was a protege
of Charles Taylor, 70-year-old
safe cracker, who was killed in a
Camden candy office by a Ne
gro Waterman last April, 10.
The Negroes involved are
George White, 10, who was called
The "cat burglar" because he could
see exceptionally well at night;
Willie White, Adam Foster, Fred
Jones, John GAM, and jefferson
Holloway. The whites are Joseph
Sessa, Louis Purul, Bernard Meis-
Wich, and Benny Diadone.
