TO MEET JACK
IiERGjlPIilL 1
NEW YORK. Mar. 19 (fl) The
next big hurdle Sammy Puller must
clear In his march toward a light
weight title match will come In the
shape or n Bout here April l with
tho British ' buzzsaw, Jack (Kid)
Berg.
' Fuller earned a shot at Berg by
stopping Billy Wallace ol Cleveland
in the seventh round of a ton round
bout in Madison Square Garden last
night.; .
; Tho Bostoii boy, recent conqueror
of Kay Miller in the garden, ruled
a 6-2 favorite over Wallace when
they entered the ring. But the 31-ycar-old
Wallace gave as good as
ho received through the first six
rounds. , After an even first round,
fuller had the edge in the second
and third sessions but Wallace came
back strong to win tho fourth and
fifth, flooring Puller' with a clean
right to tho Jaw In the latter round.
1 Fuller rallied to win the sixth
round and In - the seventh caught
Wallacb squarely with a right to the
jaw. Wallace went down heavily and
barely got to his feet at nine. He
fell Into the amis of Referee Jed
Oahan who stopped the fight and
awarded Puller the victory on a
technical knockout.
Fuller weighed 138'4; Wallace 135.

WORK OUT PLAN
OF RELIEF FOR
RAIL CARRIERS
(Continued From Page One)
It Is assumed that many bank loans
will be continued- In the normal way.
"Therefore recourse to the Recon
struction corporation by the railroads
will be much less than was origin
ally thought and even the men
tioned amounts Would be diminished
by revival of the bond market and
the placing of bond renewals in nor
mal fashion. -
"Tho problem Is to handle the sit
uation as n wholei'So. as to lay tho
rbuhdfttTfmS'for'Yetored -employment
on the railways and through their
purchases of supplies, and at the
fcumo time to establish confidence in
the security of thcbonds which aro
the reliance of great trustee institu
tions of the United States which are
in factf the property of the entire
people. ,
"The end to be attained is, there
fore, one of Increased employment
on one hand and stability In the fin
ancial structure of the country on
the other.
"The co-ordination of programs and
policies has been arrived at by the
government and the railway agencies
to effect these results.'
