HOT WELTER SCRAP
r ON KFLW TONIGHT
Classy, crafty Billy Graham ' tussle
tonight with Tippy Larkin (above),
the pride of Garfield, N. J.( should
provide a line on whether he can be
considered as a candidate for a crack
at the welterweight crown. Their
clash is scheduled for ten rounds at
Madison Square Garden.
Graham, who calls New York his ;
home town, is a superlative combina- I
tion of boxer and puncher. His record !
is impressive. Only twice in 70 fights
has he toine out on the wrong end of
the decision. A win over Tippy would
lift him high in 147-lb. ranks.
Larkin, too, is a masterful boxer
and fights like blue blazes. Known as
the Garfield Gunner, he possesses a
sharp left and a molar-loosening
right. When he has his man set up, :
he can he a rattlesnake finisher.

Wild confusion and fast actum
reigned as kings of last' night's

thing from arguments among the

referees, time keepers and the
whistling audience.
Dusette. Georges that is. and
the Grey Mask won the toss for
the final go. and put up a scrap
that had the fans wild-eyed ana
hoarse before it was well start
ed. The usual tactics of hair pull
ing, slugging and crawling for
the ropes to avoid any dangerous
hold won for the mask onlv a
draw last night against the
Canadian powerhouse, a fall go
ing to the Mask in the third
round with a half crab, and Du
sette coming back in the fifth to
even it ud with his favorite hold,
a full nelson.
In a scheduled five-rounder,
something went haywire some
where, and Jack Francy and the
timekeeper okayed a sixth round
for the grapplers. but to no avail,
as the deciding fall wasn't made,
and the match ended in a draw.

announces '20,000,000 price reductions
We believe there is nothing more important to
this country than to lower tlie prices of the
goods that people buy.
The American people have iiwisled thnt the
government withdraw from its attempts to
control prices in peacetime. Thnt places Ilia
responsibility where it belongs in the hands
of business and industry. Not all busincm enn
reduce prices now. Not all can reduce by the
same amount.
Our company hns felt a duly to act bs
promptly as possible. In our cone, the busi
ness outlook now mokes it possible to move
toward the goal of lower prices. The only way
out of the vicious circle of higher and higher
prices is to break through.
We have taken this ntcp not bocouxe of
present competitive conditions nor because of
a drop in demand from customers. We have
taken it because of our belief that ANY I'HICE
IS TOO HIGH IF IT CAN BE REDUCED.
Thcso reductions, which will save tho uxors
of our products approximately $20,000,000 n
year, will become effective before April 1, and
will apply to a selected lint of tractor, farm
machine, motor truck, and industrial power
products. Since we lose money on a few of our
products, and barely break even on some
others, these reductions will not apply to our
entire line. Reductions will bo made indi
vidually on products. Somo will be cut more
than others. Exact details will be announced
as soon as possible.
Our ability to maintain this lower levol of
prices will depend in part on what happens to
the prices and flow of materials that we buy
from others.. Because wo beliove prico reduc
tion is vital, wo aro willing to assume the risks
that are involved.
