I'ritc, SPORTS Tommy (lil-bons will enter the ring at Shelby today (Wednesday) one of the shortest ended conten* ders in the history of the prise ring. The last minute predictions of the axperts based upon training camp opinions don't give him a look in. Despite this preponderance of ex- pert "discouragement'* Con of Vari- ety's sport staff, picks Gibbons. In his opinion. Dempsey will be out- ^xed all the way by the man from St. Paul. The same experts now loudly ac- claiming Dempsey as a mixture of tigerish animals, gave Carpentler, one of the poorest contenders who ever pulled on a glove, a great chance to beat Dempsey. who should have entered the ring a 60 to 1 fav- orite against the Frenchman. Pre- dictions that Gibbons won't last over five rounds with the champion are ridiculous to anyone who saw the lumbering Bill Brennan pnxzle 'and bewilder Dempsey with a straight left that compares with Gibbons' speedy punches like a steam roller to a racing car. On form and dope GIblons should win the heavyweight title on points. The difference in size is negligible in a match of this nature. . The HawtliDrne race track In Chi- cago openf'd its first meet of the 8ea.son June 30 for 25 days. The track has 600 runners stabled, among them some of the best known racers on the turf. Hawthorne'.s liberality in purses for this meet Is the objective for so many good horses being sent there. The purses will range up to $10,000. That will be the first Illinois Derby. July 14. It will be made an annual event of the track. Race lovers In Chicago are appre- ciative of Turn Bourjie. who so suc- cessfully restored running races In the Chicago area. Bourke, a former newspaper man, Is said to have ^kiI- i fully promoted the return and Is In practical charge of Hawthorne In Its entiret" with Al backing of every kind. The N. V. A. ball team has re- tur»ed from its New Bngland trip, / after beinir handicapped by a ses- sion of bad luck. In spite of this the team managed to win half of its last 10 games, and its provpects for the future are decidedly better than Us past record. Some of the wIm- acres are inclined to blame the sea- son as having been neither finan- cially nor Athletically succesaful thus far, on account of lack of necessary publicity ajid bad breaks from Injuries, disappointments and other tough luck. The Injuries started before the club left on its trip. Dudley Farns- worth. catcher and Inflelder, broke his ankle In the Pawtuclcet game and will be unable to play this sea- son. Buddy Shepherd was forced out of action when be stuck his foot through a glass skylight and had to have six stitches taken. Brnle Stanton tore a ligament in his leg during practise and is still wearing a heavy bandage. Finally Russell ' CoAnors and Harry Armstrong; de- veloped Charley horses playing in the sand lots at Woonsocket and were practically useless the remain- der of the trip. Besides all this "black cat stuff." rain and excessive heat helped to put .the kibosh on the tour. Unfore- seen events did their share. At Pawtucket the factory scheduled to advertise and superintend the game went out of bubinesa the week be- fore, and consequently the attend- ance and interest were 'way below what they should have been. The game at Bayside July 4 had to be (Continued on page 84) one of its ofncials, it is stated in part: >^ - "That In respect to the 2.500 shares of the Famous Players-Lasky Company referred to and the sum of $16,382.96 accrued dividends therein referred to, Judgment was entered In the Supremo Court on April 7, 1922. by the terms of which 1,125 shares were awarded to the plaintiffs (Marc Klaw and Abraham L. Erlanger) and 1.125 remained in the undis- puted possession of the executors; the remaining 250 are still the sub- ject of dispute pending on appeal. "Accordingly, 1,125 shares, valued at 76%, arc taxable to the estate, and out of the said $16,382.96. rep- resenting dividends and accrued in- terest on 1,160 shares, the sum of $16,026.81 being the proper amount 6t dividends on 1,125 shares, is the property of the estate, and Is tax- able herein, and of tho remaining 250 shares. IbO ihryeof were award- ed to.counsel for the de«e«lc'nt dur- ing his lifetime us part of his agreed compensation. "He, however, claims the full 250 shares by alleged agreement nnade with the decedent. The disposition of said 250 shares being still i>end- Ing undetermined on appeal. It Is requested that taxation thereon be suspended, snd also on the $35616. representing rft^rrued dividends on 25 shares thereof, be also suspended. "That by the terms of said Judg- ment (decision by Justice Lehman) certain rlslms of one McKeon and Sanger A Jordan were made liens against a portion of tho stock in question, and det)onent has paid In satisfnotJon of tho McKeon claim tho sum cf $500, which constitutes a proper dodu<;tion against the as- sets above mentioned. That by the terms of tlio Judgment, an allowance was made to the plaintiffs of $2,144 for costs Slid allowance, which arc rharf,'rj»M(' agaiiiKt the assets above mentioned, 'TJiat in respect to the 4'^T, shares of tho New York theatre stock as having' no value, tliis company for- merly ow)i«>d as its sole asset th«' New Yo»k Tlieatre building. DurinK the lifrtimo of decedent this build- ing was .sold and a portion of the pro'erds, amounting to $150 per sliarf, was disfrlbutfd to the v.ivious siockliolders. Durinir the lifetime f*f- d^«<*^d^nt rortain disKcnilag mi- nority gtockliolders brought suit, ob- j'ctlnR to tho amount realized on sucli i^ale and asking to have i)i*»if stork nppraisrd pursuant to st.itute and olaiminc: the full vahje th'ifor. As it might be so appraised against the majority and consenting stock- holders, of whom the de^ed*»nt w.ns on*». At tho time of the deoed- nt's df-ath the h<>]e value of su'-h sto*;K oonsi'-tfd in whu'evrr equity nii^ht remain after the class of tho dis- lentlng Rtc kbo!dois were rciUi-J.ited and adjudicated. Judgment In their favor was obtained and a greater part of said funds was directed to be distributed and was so distributed to tbem. They made, however, cer- tain additional claims and further- more claimed Interest on their ap- praised value of their stock from the date Of such sale, which said claims are now pendinj^ on appeal. "There has been no distribution of any kind, either by way of dividends or otherwise, on account of said stock since the date of decedent's death. That deponent has caused Inquiry to be made and obtained from the auditor of said company a statement of the assets of said cor- poration as of April 30, 192S. the latest ascertainable date, which statements are as follows: "Assets: Cosh, checking'account. $13,696.63; certifliates of deposit, $230,761.64, and Liberty Loan bonds, $10,000, making a total of $354,458.27. "That deponent is likewise so In- formed and believes that on said date there were outstanding 11.248 shares, of which the dissenting stockholders held 3,198. and the ma- jority consenting stockholders, 8.060. Of the sum of $264,458.27 on hand as above mentioned. $158,386.64 has been sequestered by the court to cover claims undecided on the ap- peal, which the court nevertheless felt were entitled to the protection of such sequestration. This left a balance of $101,071.63. "If the claim of the dissenting stockholders for Interest should bts sustained on appeal, this balance would in all probability be wiped out. 'It Is rcHpectfuliy aubmittcd that the stock of a concern subject to such matters of litigation would not be marketable at any price as of the date of decedent's death and had no clear market value. If, however, the appraiser thinks otherwise It is respectfully requested that the taxa- tion be suspended pending the out- come of the litigation above men- tioned."
