General Johnson figured that the Blue Eagle blanketed 85% of the land. But temporary re-employment agreements which had hatched the Blue Eagle automatically lapse Dec. 31.

As usual, the Hearst papers earned the Milk Fund's share by giving the fight an enthusiastic ballyhoo. Shrewdest prediction of the result was a drawing by Burris Jenkins Jr., which appeared in the Evening Journal the afternoon of the fight.
