Talking It over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK. April 25.—The prices have been fixed for the heavyweight championship fight which is to feature Jack Sharkey and Max Schmellng in the sunken gardens of Astoria this summer. It is to be hoped that this is all that is fixed about the engagement between these two young men. The prices will range from 53.45 for third class to 523 for first class. There is nothing unreasonable about the $3.45 tariff. Almost any kind of a heavyweight fight—unless Buffering Phil Scott is a participant —is worth that much. Thr *23 bite ix something *ls*. I hf’xitxtx to xay tht it lx exorbitant. Tn*rf may b xome people who will psv that, kind nl money in thexe timex to see r couple of well-fed iron moulrierx throw punchex Inderd there may be a great m, nv people who will pay it. It hax been Jhy obxervatlon that of all the auckera the 3ht custornerx top the list. .lames j. Johnston ix a pretty xhrewd Sent. He hax been ground a long time. We li-a SB. OOO seats to fill In the new arena Trera never hax been much profit In ■••opty seats. So when Johnston decides hat. the trade will xtand a *23 admission he probably knows what he ix doing At any rate It will be Interesting to see Jhat happens. If Johnston succeeds in filling the arena, okay. And If he dnsn t, well that will he his worry. One of the several things which do not concern me Js whether the Sharkey-Schmellng fight lx a box office success. I still think *3 to *ls would have been a more sensible scale. nun 'T'HE top price for the first fight was $26.25, and the low price Was $2.10. There were 74,153 paid admissions, and the total gate was $740,934,65. In return for this vast sum. the customers got about 40 cents worth of action. Sharkey fouled out in the fourth round after smacking the German all around the ring. It was to have been a fifteenfound fight to a decision. When you pay $26.25 to see a contest, and it ends inexcusably in the fourth round you have been defrauded, swindled and hoodwinked in the order named. It is as if you had contracted to buy a fifteen-story office building and wound up with a four-story rooming house. Nothing was ever done about refunding the customers part c< their doiißh. And tne chief reason nothing was ever done is that the customers, Just sat there and took IT So why fight for the customers? If Ik t. ,n , br Jobbprf it would be indiscreet and unfeeling to interfere with their pleasure. In the argot of the sport, the rematch!,*i K i Ol T S i la ,i" kev a ,_ nd Schmeling Is a nattiral. I believe Sharkey is still the greatest heavyweight in this country. SchmelIng. a foreigner, holds the world championship Their first meeting ‘ was not conclusive. Sharkey was leading all the w *y UP to •he time of the low punches. it is logical to contend that if he could Whip Schmeling for four rounds he could keep on whipping him for fifteen. That is one side of the picture. The other is that Sharkey staited to hit low as .soon as Schmeling broke through hl.s defense and began to score himself. These circumstances lend themselves naturally to controversy. and so It was. Inevitable that the tw>o should be brought together again. But what a brazen commercial enterprise it, is! Here you have two heavyfßlled miserably before a *750,000 audience coming back in a return fight in an arena that is scaled for a million dollar turnout and not a word Is said about the previous swindle Such piracy can he attempted only in the prize fight racket. In any other business both Sharkey and Schmeling. as well as the promoters, would be held accountable in the courts. However, bv the time the fight, rolls around a man with *23 may he looked Upon as a dominant power in finance

Uncle Robbie Can Chuckle—Revamped Dodgers Tumble Into N. L. Cellar

By United Press NEW YORK. April 25. —Uncle Wilbert Robinson must have smiled a sympathetic smile at his Georgia home today when the reorganized Brooklyn Dodgers landed in the National League cellar with a resounding thud because of their 7 to 2 defeat Sunday by the New York Giants. Max Carey, successor to Uncle Robbie as the Flatbrush pilot, has been rebuilding and revamping this Brooklyn outfit for the last couple of months, but all his efforts seem futile, at least temporarily. • On April 24 last year, Roly-Poly Robbie had guided the Robins one step out of the cellar, leaving it occupied by the Cincinnati Reds, and that was before Brooklyn had acquired Hack Wilson, Joe Stripp,

In addition to the farm angle, Brooklyn officials feel that the Jersey club is an excellent purchase, because the Skeeters are on the threshold of an era of prosperity. Purchase of the Newark Bears by the New York Yankees has strengthened the Bears and stimulated baseball interest, not only in Newark, but throughout the International League. Jersey City has added to the inducement for the purchase of the Skeeters, by promising to build an appropriate stadium as soon as Brooklyn takes control.

Chicago Gets Hodapp, Seeds From Cleveland White Sox Send Bill Cissell and Pitcher Jimmy Moore to Indians for Infielder and Outfielder; Hose Hope to Add Punch. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. April 25.—Seven straight defeats which plunged the Chicago White Sox all the way from first to seventh place have resulted in the first trade since the major league season opened two weeks ago. In an effort to add offensive strength, the White Sox Sunday night

sent shortstop Bill Cissell and pitcher Jim Moore to Cleveland for second baseman Johnny Hodapp and outfielder Bob Seeds. It was the second trade made in less than a year between the two clubs, the White Sox getting their present manager. Lew Fonseca, from Cleveland in exchange for Willie Kanim last May. Hodapp and Seeds were to join the White Sox In Detroit today and Manager Fonseca expected to place them in the lineup immediately in an effort to bleak Chicago's losing streak. Hodapp can play both third and second, but probably will be used at second, wit a Luke Appling, who has been alternating at second, going to shortstop. In his seven years with Cleveland, Hodapp has a grand batting average of .319. His best year was 1930, when he batted .354 in 154 games, and his worst, since becoming a regular, last year when he batted .295 in 122 games. Seeds, who played in only forty-eight

games last year, batted .3Q5. Hodapp is 26 and Seeds 24. The White Sox did not lose any strength in disposing of Cissell. who batted only .220 in 109 games last year, and Moore, a southpaw,' who took part in thirty-three games, mostly as a relief
