...longer does the hulking Italian liner Rex have to stop at Quarantine for medical inspection since the granting eight months ago of "radio pratique" to certain liners entering New York harbor (TIME. Sept. 6). It stopped there last week, however, to let two moon-faced gentlemen climb down a gangplank to a Coast Guard cutter. The cutter snaked up the river to a Fire Department pier.

S. sporting public to non-heavyweight boxing encounters kept the gross gate receipts down to a disappointing $232,600. Since Promoter Jacobs had contracted to pay his eight fighters some $190,000 and 10% of the profits went to charity, most striking feature of the second carnival of champions was that it was the first big Jacobs event which...
