~ YEW YORK, August 22.-Hum-
bert FugaZy will widen his field
VI Of activities and branch out as
4 an all-the-year-round promoter
of boxing events. Heretofore
Fugazy has been limited to the Summer
months, staging his fights at the Brook
lyn base ball park, at Ebbets Field, and
for that reason has been unable 70 ue
up prominent fighters to long-term
contracts.
Havana, Cuba: ST. Petersburg and
Miami Fla, will be the scenes Of Flu
gays Winter activities. The sponsor
OF popular priced shows has an able
lieutenant in his matchmaker, Jess NC
Manon. The latter has been prominent
in showing KID Chocolate, and the lat
ter's manager would rather fight for
Mcmahon than any other promoter IN
the country With this as basis,
Fugazy is opening negotiations with
Andre Routis to defend his world
heavyweight crown against the scintu-
lating Cuban at Havana.
Then there are other bouts in which
FugaZy is interested. Chief among
these is a heavyweight fight calling fol-
Vittorio Campolo against the best avail
able heavyweight he can secure. 1t Is
no secret that Fugazy Is going to hold
on to his contract with Max Schmeling
Fugazy claims this calls for five con-
tests under his banner. The promoter
will even go into court to hold the Ger
man Jack Dempsey to the letter OF this
contract.
Fugazy has pretentious plans for
Campolo. He believes Campolo to be
a better prospect than Luis Firpo was
Campolo will take part in the three
closing shows at Ebbets Field this sea-
son. If the Argentine giant is success
full in all three, he will be used against
Schmeling in Florida.
Without a good heavyweight under
his wing Fugazy would be up against It
in drawing worthwhile attendance to
his shows. Campolo is the magnet
Fugazy is depending on, and it is up
to the new Wild Bull to come through
or the Brooklyn promoter will have q
hard time breaking into the Winter
