STRIBLING MEETS SHARKEY TONIGHT (Continued from First Page) for a fight and remarkable evidence | of widespread interest in a match that has itself no championship sig- at th be close to $400,000. When the box office opened for its last day's bus- iness today, there was nearly $350,- 000 in actual cash in hand, sufficient 1ot only to pay Sharkey $100,000 JACK SHARKEY and Stribling a. 20 per cent *“cut” of about $60,000, but also enough 1o assure the Madison Square Gar- den corporation a profit of about $100,000. This is the fruition of the last fistic dream of Tex Rickard, whose daring fortunes carried him on from gold field to Reno, Toledo, New York city, Jersey City, Philadephia and Chicago. It will seem somewhat strange at the ringside tonight with- out Tex, for the first time since big fights became hobbies of wealth and society, Tex, with his inevitable ci- sar and cane, would have liked to stroll about this arena, comparing its tiny yet picturesque points with the massivencss of Boyle’s 30 acres, chatting with the “big fellows” he liked to entice to his shows and re- marking he “never seed nothing like it The complete venture, as it turns out, not only exceeds the fondest dreams of Rickard before he died in January but also surpasses the hopes of his associates who, with Dempsey’s support, decided only after many misgivings to carry on the promotion. Instead of an ex- pected deficit they are assured a big profit as well as prestige for the or- ganization leit by Rickard but now directed by “Big Bill" Carey and others of the Garden's famous “600, milionaires.” The accumulations of events, the color and the novelty and perhaps the spell of the moon, have helped arouse interest in a fight that seemed at the start to be doomed to a dis- mal and lethargic prospect. It is the big chance for both Sharkey and Stribling, after a variety of fortunes along the fistic path. The circum- stances of being in a nation-wide spotlight have spurred them and their backers, On the form he has shown in training, on the basis of his ten- pound advantage in weight and the ssumption he will be at his best, Sharkey has acquired the backing of | most of the critics. But on youthtul | ambition, a daring sprit, and an ad- mittedly stiff punch, Stribling may be accorded at least an even chance of victory. Both have everything to guin, every incentive to throw their | st weapons into the battle that ) last only 39 minutes even if it | ocs the limit and thus requires a | decision by Referee Lou Magnolia of New York. | Stribling's stock slumped a trifle | when it became known he had in- jured a rib, and possibly also his ight hand, in a training session just | a weck before the fight. But his| father-manager, “Pa” Stribling, his physician and his concluding work- outs testify to the Georgian's readi- handicap. Those who scan the “inside stuff” | for indications attach some sigx\i-; ficance to the word that Mike Ca- | pone, brother of Scarface Al | pone, former Chicago gang leader. will he in Sharkey's corner. The | Capones live sumptuously in an is- | land residence here. But the idea of | ny influence being brought to bear, or any suggestion of intimidation is couted in both fight camps, where spokesmen are agreed on the fair- ness as well as fearlessness of Mag- nolia, who has handled many of New York's most important bout: The facts of battle, alrca y | well ballyhooed, are that the big | | show starts at 7:45 Eastern Stand- lard time, with an array of seven | preliminary bouts as well as a battle royal involving 12 negroes. The main go is for ten rounds to an of- ficial referce’s decision. The rules | lof New York State Athletic com- | mission also will govern the contest. | In event of rain the whole program will be put over to Thursday night. {Nude Sect Is Found | In Bessarabia Caves Bucharest, Rumania, Feb, 27 (®— Jendarmes today reported the dis- overy of a secret sect of several hundred men and women living caves at Varkovesti, Bessarabi; They were unclothed and we rounded up by the authoritics.

Four persons were scriously wounded before John Kipp, a Ger- man immigrant, was blackjacked to the cement floor by two policemen who said they had never seen any- one take so much punishment and remain conscious. 1t was the third outbreak in New York's subways in the last two weeks. A man was stabbed to death about two weeks ago and on last Saturday a 17-vear-old Boy ‘cout died of injuries received when an- other passenger attacked him. Kipp, 6 feet, 2 inches tall, broad- | of shoveling on a harbor scow, stood in the Times Square station—the busiest spot in the world—turning the butcher knife over in his hands. Several persons hurrying in from the rain noticed the strange figure with the knife, but paid little atten- tion to him, for so many strange sights are seen at Times Square that they have ceased to be strange. Cuts Boy Twice Suddenly Kipp darted out and Nate Freeman, 15. The boy spun around with a cry of pain and Kipp slashed again, cutting Freeman in the arm. Then the huge German, jabbering in his native tongue, leap- =d back against the wall, flourishing the red blade of his knife. The subway rush stopped. People pushed back, making a semi-circle about 30 feet away from Kipp. Wo- men screamed; men whispered plans of attack. Occasionally a man or woman, unaware of the danrer, would enter the subway and walk within range of Kipp's knife before TOO TIRED TO WORK? 1t you get up in the morning tired, 1f you are weary with little exertion and it vim and go are lacking, de- pend on it your system is loaded with toxic poison due to constipa- tion.

Such a one was Leon Lavay who was stabbed in the back.' Again Kipp would dash out, hack swiftly at someone, and then retreat. By do- ing that he stabbed Carl M. Thate in the back and cut Richard Enth- rupp across the left hand. So terrified was the crowd that it was ten minutes before a policeman was called. Then Thomas Sellett, a subway detective, and Patrolman Harry Schaffel pushed their way through the throng.. They couldn't shoot for directly behind Kipp, on another platform, was a crowd for trains. Schaffel approached carefully as Kipp waved his Kknife. Takes Much Punishment When the Gernman swung, the policeman dodged and brought his blackjack down across Kipp's right arm. The knife blade tinkled on the floor, and Schaffel brought his blackjack down on Kipp's head. Sellett joined in; again and again they crashed clubs against Kipp's skull, but the giant German stayed on his feet, flailing with his fists. When he finally went down phy- sicians said his skull was fractured. At the hospital Kipp muttered: “Just something told me—some- thing whispered to me.” NICARAGUA INDIFFERENT T0 MEDIATION PROPOSALS Suggested Friendly Offices of Three Neighboring Presidents Not Taken Secriously. Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 27 (P— Suggestions emanating from San Salvaodr that the presidents of Sal- vador, Honduras and Costa Rica might offer their friendly mediation to President Moncada of Nicaragua to bring about scttlement of conflict here are not taken seriously in Nica- raguan circles, where nothing of- ficial regarding them has been re- ceived. A proposal by the autonomist-as- sociation of Salvador to mediate re- garding the disturbed situation was answered today by Anastasio Somo- za, President Moncada's secretary, as follows: “Referring to your telegram about the autonomist solution, President Moncada, through me, asks that you have the goodness first to address the presidents of Central America so that our situation may be thought of in common accord, not to fight but to arrive at an understanding of the ;lllllica of the continent.” (A dispatch from Ceosta Rica last night quoted President Viquez a3 | denying his government had offercd mediation for the pacification of Nicaragua as had been stated in a previous dispatch from San Salva- dor.)
