FANS BACKING
BOTH FIGHTERS
Winner Likely To Be In
Miami Bout This Win*
ter For Title
KEW YORK Sept. 2G.-h^’/—Jick.
Sharkey of Boston and Tommy
Loughran of Philadelphia meet at
the Yankee Stadium tonight in a
15-round bout.
Barring disappointments of va-
rious kinds the echoes are sched-
uled to carry as far as Miami
where the victor may have an im-
portant part in deciding the heavy-
weight championship of the world
this winter
Neither fighter has been made
an outstanding favorite among the
bettors. Opinions are greatly at
variance with the result^ about
even. Sharkey backers freely pre-
dict the talkative tar will bore into
Loughran and end the battle before
ita scheduled time. The Philadel-
phian's fans are as confident the
former light heavyweight champion
will completely outbox his rival and
perhaps do better with the punch
said to have come with added size.
Conversation has been one of the
most evident things in the prelim-
inaries of the battle and some
skeptics have even dared to say per-
haps the pre-battle statements of
the principals and the disputes of
the faiis are responsible for the
wave of warm weather that has
brought a great increase in the ad-
vance sale of tickets.
Today's box office predictions are
that some 50.000 persons will sur-
round the ring when the fighters
enter it at 10 o’clock daylight time
and that receipts will be somewhere
in the neighborhood of $300000.
Sharkey was expected to tip the
boxing commission scales at about I
195 pounds while Loughran. bear-
tag the greatest weight of his ring
career was about ten pounds below
that mark.
There will be no radiocasting of
the fights. i

Although it is generally admitted
that Brownsville should win. Har-

that their fighting spirit will carry

Co-cat sins Morris Pipkin and

Brownsville Junior college Scor-
pions into battle for the first time
Thursday at San Benito against the
high school Greyhounds. The game
will begin at 3:30 p. m.
The co-captains were elected by
the squad Wednesday afternoon.
Pipkin plays tail back position and
calls signals. He is probably the
most finished player in the entire
local system. After starting with
Main Avenue he played with the
S. M. U. freshmen last season.
Monsees has taken over the post
of line captain. He was an out-
standing performer on the champ-
ionship Brownsville high school
eleven of last year.
Coach Calvin Surtees has some
good material but would like for it
to be in better condition. The col-
legians got away to a late start and
have not hit their stride yet. The
squad will average about 140
pounds.

I Sun-Tan Is The Fashion!
AN ANCIENT PREJUDICE
HAS BEEN REMOVED
False modesty is a relic of an ancient prejudice. AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE has cut it away and
in behalf of better health and pure enjoyment sponsors the fashion of sensible swimming attire.
“toasting did it”—
Cone is that ancient prejudice against cigarettes—Progress
has been made. We removed the prejudice against cigarettes
when we removed harmful corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irri•
tants) from the tobaccos.
YEARS ago when cigarettes were made without the aid of
modern science there originated that ancient prejudice against
all cigarettes. That criticism is nolonger justified. LUCKY STRIKE
the finest cigarette you ever smoked made of the choicest tobacco
properly aged and skillfully blended—“It’s Toasted.”
“TOASTING” the most modern step in cigarette manufacture
removes from LUCKY STRIKE harmful irritants which are pres-
ent in cigarettes manufactured in the old-fashioned way.
Everyone knows that heat purifies and so “TOASTING”—
LUCKY STRIKE’S extra secret process—removes harmful cor-
rosive ACRIDS (pungent irritants) from LUCKIES which in the
old-fashioned manufacture of cigarettes cause throat irritation and
coughing. Thus “TOASTING” has destroyed that ancient preju-
dice against cigarette smoking by men and by women.

'It’s Toasted”—the phrase that describes th*
extra “toasting” process applied in the maim*
facture of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. The finest
tobaccos—the Cream of the Crop—are scien-
tifically subjected to penetrating heat at mini-
mum 260°—maximum 300° Fahrenheit. The
exact expert regulation of such high tempera-
tures removes impurities. More than a slogan
“It’s Toasted” is recognized by millions as the
most modem step in cigarette manufacture.
