New York Aug. 1 One town rumor says Fritzie Zivic hit too many high spots before colliding with Red Cochrane in Newark. The war may affect southern schools more than northern ones due to more boys in Dixie towns in the national guard. Mike Jacobs will stage the Louis Nova bout where profits are best. To lure Jack Dempsey the offer must rise by 1000 dollars per week. American League attendance is 200000 higher than last year but could drop unless the race tightens.
