Loughran, Campolo Set for Ring Scrap Heavy Rivals Seek Berth Among Title Contenders in Tussle Friday: Philadelphian, Outweighed 45 Pounds, Slight Favorite. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 11.—Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia boxing master, and Victorlo Campolo, Argentine slugger, neither of whom have been accorded championship recognition, will meet Friday night at Madison Square Garden in a ten-round bout which probably will come closer to determining the world’s best heavyweight than will either of the two titular contests scheduled for this summer. The two fighters are handicapped by lack of gangster connections, political influence or whatever it is that has won Primo Camera, Jack Sharkey. Young Stribling and Max Schmeling the right to compete for the “world's championship.” but either would be at least an even monqy bet against any of the titular contenders.

Loughran, retired undefeated light heavyweight champion, is making a final effort to force a return bout with Jack Sharkey. He has made the most impressive record of an heavyweight contender during the last year, defeating Ernie Schaaf, Max Baer and TufTy Griffith tn hi' last three starts, and a victory over Campolo would stamp him as the leading claimant to the title. Campolo, probably the best foreign heavyweight of recent years, •’ ill be seeking a chance to force his way into the titular race. The 225pound Argentine boxer never has won the recognition he deserves. The Philadelphian is an early 6-t.o-5 favorite, but it is probable that money. Campolo will have a forty-five-pound weight edge. CUE CHAMPION HERE Frank Fleming of Champaign, 111., national amateur three-cushion billiard champion, was scheduled to appear here today in two matches. The first contest was billed for this afternoon at the Columbia Club. Tonight, Fleming will oppose Lew Vogler, local ace, in a fifty-point match at Cooler’s parlors.

RENO GAMBLING TABLES SLUMP ON 'WASH GAY' Forget Roulette and Gold Strike in Interest on Divorce Crop. By United Press RENO. Nev., May 11.—Gambling tables, overflowing hotels and the latest Nevada gold strike tempororily were forgotten today as another bumper crop of divorce colonists flocked to Reno courts for the second “wash day” proceedings under the new six weeks’ residence law. ■Roulette wheels, spinning busily all last week, experienced a decided slump while Washoe county gave itself over to the business of granting decrees to seventy wives and husbands. While not expecting to reach the all-time record set last week, when 109 divorces were graned in two days. Judges Ben Curler and Thomas Moran had enough cases to keep them busy all day. County Clerk Kept Busy The office of E. H. (Boss) Beemer, coupty clerk, continued to receive great sheafs of divorce papers while his staff was busy handling various proceedings necessary to granting default d:crees. The marriage license register, also was in constant use. 'At times the line of prospective brides and bridegroopis was fifteen deep. Practically all the women who signed divorce papers and marriage licenses with successive strokes of the pen had three legal names in almost as many minutes. First a woman had her married name then her maiden name when the divorce was granted and, finally, the name of her new husband. The east provided the majority of those who joined in the rush for divorces. Rival to Gold Rush After the ten-minute hearing, many joined in the ancient Reno ritual of kissing the pillar of the courthouse. Some follow-ed tradition further and threw their wedding rings into the Truckee river. In another section of the state, near Yerington, desert prospectors were rushing to Smith valley at news of another gold strike, but the rush to Washoe county courthouse was just as brisk and determined.

Don't break that window \ A ave |

There was an air of suppressed excitement in our Cleveland hotel that night. Even the oldest employee had succumbed to the infection of it, and waited at his station in the ballroom as impatiently as a young man at a tryst. It was all because ot the girl. She was young and lair, and her unconcealed excitement pervaded the whole hotel. This was her night of debut. At nine o’clock she was to be presented to Cleveland society in the most brilliant com-ing-out party of the year. The hour approached. Seven o’clock passed. At seven-thirty the telephone in the manager’s office jangled. The girl’s mother was calling. “We are in a frightful predicament,” she said. “Barbara’s dress —the one made for this party —hasn’t been delivered to our suite. IVhut shall we do?" “Who made the dress,” the manager asked, “and where is the shop?” He was told. Then he continued, “What is the last minute you can give me to get the dress?” “Ten minutes of nine,” came the reply. “I’ll have it there" he answered, “don’t worry!” But soon he was worried. For when he called the residence of the owner of the shop, he was informed by the modiste’s sister that Madame had gone to New York, and that her head fitter had the only other key. Quickly the manager phoned the fitter’s house. “She has gone to the theatre,” he was told, “ and we don't know which one." In quick succession, every theatre in the city was called, and each time came this reply: “She cannot be paged.” This was a quandary! The manager called Madame's sister again and gave her the disappointing news. “ Madame's best customer!” the

He Dances for Python

By United Press CHICAGO, May ll—Being confronted suddenly by a live and hungry twenty-foot snake in the baggage car of a train moving more than sixty miles an hour was the experience recounted by William Stewart, express messenger, upon arrival of his train here from the east. . The snake, a python, was en route from Singapore to Brownsville, Tex. It was in a crate in a car where Stewart, who lives at Jamestown, N. Y., was working. The train was several miles from Barberton, 0., when Stewart heard a hiss, turned quickly, and discovered that the huge snake had escaped from its crate and was sliding across the car toward him. Stewart first tried dodging behind baggage, but the snake, apparently very hungry after a long sleep, followed him. Stewart raced to a door, opened it, found a handhold on the outside, worked the door shut and

sister wailed. “We’ll have to break in and get her dress. I’ll come down.” “All right,” the manager said. But he did two things. He phoned the fitter’s family once more and asked that they go with an assistant manager to the theatres and find the woman. Then he talked with the police. The sister came. A policeman arrived. The manager sent them and the head-porter in a cab to the shop. The time was half-past eight when the little group stood in the areaway behind the store. They could wait ten minutes for the fitter to appear! The seconds dragged. One minute more! That, too, passed by. “It’s time,” the porter announced. “Let’s go!” Just then, down the alley came the sound of running feet and a woman’s voice calling, “Don’t break that window! I have the key.” It was the fitter. She had been found. Our efforts had met with success —and the gown was delivered on time. So here you have another incident from the Statler Sendee Records. There are many such, for the records are long today and they are crowded with these little dramas of life. In every emergency in which our aid has been asked we have tried to be helpful; to that end our organization and policies have been built. Every one of us wants to be of service always. And we want to be of utmost service in every contact with our guests so that their visits to our hotels will leave pleasant memories —and evoke a desire to return.

The Rev. Jean S. Milner, pastor of Second Presbyterian church, presided at the services. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell and Bishop William F. Anderson paid tribute to Mr. Fairbanks’ character and sendee.

dangled from the side of the box car as the train speeded into Barberton. There the car was sealed and the python was left in complete control. Upon arrival here, Richard Auer and several assistants at Lincoln park zoo, opened the door .enticed the snake to put its head through a specially made lasso, captured it and put it back in its crate.
