SCHUMAKER HERE
SEEKING Fight
Little New York BattlerWants
to Settle Old Score with
Tommy Lowe.
BOUT is NOT SETTLED
by JOHN 4. DJGAN.

A few years ago when old Joe Cans
the lightweight champion. was OH a de
cline, local followers of the ring g5 me
Will remember the famous Baltimoi can
acting as referee in bout between
Tommy Lowe. the local pride, and Al
Schumacher, OF New York, in a bout n
the Monumental City
Tommy was going at top speed In those
days and the Monumental City fight fans
were clamOring for the promoters to
bring on a real opponent for the fast
Capital City youngster. Attempting to
satisfy the demands of the public the
promoters signed a promising younsster
TO meet Lowe in no other than Al SchU-
maker. of New York, and this same Al
Schumacher is here once more looking for
trouble, and the party he is seeking IL
with Is no other than Tommy Lowe.
Digging back in ancient history, one
finds that Lowe and Schumacher went
niteen furious rounds, and when the final
bell rang Referee Joe Cans raised the
hands OF both battlers declaring it a
draw In those days the little blond
battler from Manhattan believed that he
mad accomplished a victory one step
nearer the lightweight crowd and was
all smiles when the decision was render
ed. but since that time Schumacher has
proven to be one of the toughest gIadia-
tors that ever made the light weight
pOundage and has done real battling with
champs and near champs.
Schumaker came here on flying triD
yesterday in an effort to get a chance
at any opponent the local promoters may
see fit to pit against him. but deep down
in his heart he believes'he is the ma ster
OF Tommy Lowe and it is Lowe whom he
prefers to battle.
This little blond battler who held Lowe
to draw a few years ago has since
met all the good ones. and has recently
taken new lease on life. In his recent
battles at the Broadway Sporting Club
Schumacher has met Andy Cortez. Mel
CoOgan, Dummy Decker. Harry Stone
Charlie White. Phil Cross and in his last
battle he went ten rounds to no decision
with Benny Leonard. the sensational
New York lightweight.
Schumacher was slightly disappointed in
not being able to meet Matchmaker Joe
Freeman. but intends to remain around
town until tomorrow when Freeman is
due back from New York.
Freeman is after Leech Cross and Will
lie Beecher for his Memorial Dav mat
inee show. but up to a late hour last
night he had failed to sign either bat
tier. Schumacher is willing to meet
either Cross or Beecher here on May 80
and no doubt he Will De seen against
either Lowe, Cross or Beecher.
Willie llouCk. the Mount Airy wild
cat who lost to Andy Cortez here on
last Monday night in a fifteen-round bat
tie. has no a1ibi to offer. although he has
fire in his eyes and is after a return
match with the Brooklyn slugger.
HOuCk wants Matchmaker Freeman to
put him on again with Cortez. and If the
New HorR battler will make 133 pounds
ringsde he will guarantee to kayo him
or not take a cent of money
