mot io nscheme ever to buzz in a promoter's bonnet. It is Jacobs' plan to have Sixto Escobar, Lou Ambers. Barney Ross, and Marcel Thil all at the post in one night. One wag has suggested td Jacobs that he go the whole way and have Tunney selling peanuts, Dempsey hawking programs. Brad dock punching tickets, and Can- ' zoneri. Jack Johnson, and a dozen or more champions and ex-champ-ions chopping tickets. Jacobs has taken this under advisement. He il probably do it. | But to get back to Farr, that I young man probably will spend the first two days at sea pinching himself to see if it really Is true —that he isn't dreaimng, but actually is on the ocean en route to a World's heavyweight fight. Because it wasn't long ago, you know, that Farr was right down in those coal mines of Wales, working for a very small wage. Two years ago he was just another British i heavyweight—which is to say he was working the small clubs for fish and chips money, without a great deal of hope for the future. Now he'll be riding first class on one of the world’s great boats, and in his pocket is a very fancy legal document guaranteeing him no fewer than 50 thousand dollars for a spot of work that might not require more than 15 or 20 minutes of actual labor. Not a bad spot tor a fellow who. a few years. back, was groping in the blackness of a mine shaft. . Without calling up Jack Doyle, 1 my favorite betting commissioner, I would say that right now a dollar would bring you seven or eight if you wanted to wager on Farr's chances against Louis. *lt might. not be a Ibad bet at those prices Farr can't be an absolute bust, being as he has beaten Baer, Neusel, Petersen, Bob Olin and Tommy

AUTO PARKING FIRE HAZARD Congested Auto Parking One Os Worst Fire Hazards In State Indianapolis. July <• — —Congested automobile parking beco.ui.ig one of the most serous fire hazards in Indiana, ! Smith, state tire marshal, said to I day. .. piif. I As a part of Governor M. till | ford Townsend's safety program. Mr. Smith urged that civic groups and local authorities make an in tensive study of their local park ing problems and recommend ordinances covering them. He suggested that any proposed ordinances should prohibit parking on heavy truffle streets, double parking and angle parking except on very wide streels. In addition. Mr. Smith said, zoning laws could be passed mandating stores and factories to provide (ample parking space within their own lot line for loading and unloading of goods and ordering j apartments to provide parking i space on their own land in proporI tion to the number of tenants. Congested parking, particularly in business and manufacturing districts and around apartment houses and theaters, increases the lite hazard and prevents quick and effective work by fire departments, Mr. Smith said. i "This congestion,” he said, “conI tributes largely to inetfleient lad | der and rescue work and obstructs I fire hydrants and the visibility of ! fire alarm boxes. It also increases 1 the possibility of collision and injury to firemen.” 1 The situation is becoming so serious that parking is becoming a municipal problem, and cities in the future may have to proviue parking space through some arrangement with garages or by municipal parking spaces. , "In the event that cars are taken off the stree twhen not in use. parking facilities must be provided by practically all kinds of business," the fire marshal said. “The department stores, office buildings, theaters, churches and apartment hous<3T must furnish parking spaces for their customers and members." In some of the larger cities bans on street parking in the more congested districts has been successfully enforced. Mr. Smith pointed out. however, that this would not wholly correct the situation due to the congestion of moving traffic. One solution to this problem of moving traffic may be the rerouting of heavy traffic over a number of streets rather than have it rout ed through one or two main streets. —. —o— —■ —■ — Fire Damages Power Plant At Ft.
