SAN FRANCISCO, April 81 R.-
Chaplain Leslie c. Kelley. San Fran
cisco member of the State Athletic
Commission, sought recognition today
for Young Corbett of Fresno, Calf. as

he termed the juggling around Of the
welterweight crown among inferior
boxers" and indicated he hoped for &C
ticn by commissions of California and
other States.
Young Jack Thompson Of Oakland,
Calf. Negro, is the present title holder.
Corbett has defeated Thompson twice
and fought him once to a draw. One
of the decisions was gained in nom
title affair when the Negro held the
championship the first time.
In another non-title match last year

Fields, then champion.
Fields lot the title to Thompson and
the latter dropped 1t to Tommy Free

N YEW YORK, April 21.-Joe
N Jacobs, home for a few
l Y days from his travels with
Max Schmeling, heavy
weight king, wakes enthusiastic
over the financial aspects of the
Schmeling Stribling fight in
Cleveland on July 5.
Jacobs argues that the show
stands a chance to draw million
dollars, to which the Skeptic re-
plies: Eyes, just as much chance
as the sheep in the stock yards
have of coming out alive"
Something's manager is bubbling over
with statistics to prove that million
dollar gate is not an improbability.
Maybe you never knew it before,
he says, but Cleveland is within 500
miles of half the population of the
United States and Canada. In Ohio
alone there are more large cities than
in any other State in the Union"
Without knowing whether those
statements are founded on fact. it seems
to the writer what is of more impor-
lance Is the state of mind of all those
people in relation to the fight. The
state Of their pocketbooks likewise is
Q factor.
Park Is Ideal.
Without knowing how people within
q 400-mile radius of Cleveland feel
toward boxing in general, and the
Schmeling -Stribling fight in particular,
the writer ventures the opinion that
neither that bout nor any other now
possible would come within several
hundred thousand dollars of drawing a
million in New York this Summer.
Well, whether Jacobs Is correct-or
even half correct-it Is stimulating to
hear some one speak out in terms OF
q million dollars without winking To
show that he Is only Spoof1ng. You
can't hang a man for hoping.
The champions manager also Is en-
thusiastic over the Cleveland Municipal
Stadium as a place in which to view a
fight. Any one who has seen pictures
of the arena must agree with him on
that. Some of those who occupied the
cheaper seats at the Tunney-Dempsey
fight in Soldier Field. Chicago. did not
find out what had happened until they
got outside and bought newspapers. It
will not be that way in Cleveland. Any
one with normal vision should be able
TO see what there Is to see.
Tour Was Lucrative.
The plans call for 10000 seats In the
field and 81 900 in the stands. With
the exception of the press and patron
press rows, none Of the field seats will
be on the fiat. arrangements having
been made to have a gradual elevation
leading up to the stands.
The top for the fight, according to
Jacobs. viii be SIS. including Federal
tax There will be tickets for four
other prices. though just what the rest
CT the tariff will be has not been de-
cijed as yet.
While Jacobs Is preaching the million
dollar gate. Schmeling is resting at
French Lick, preparatory to embarking
on the last lap of his exhibition tour.
The champions next appearance will
be in Quebec on May 4. The jaunt will
close in Chicago on May 8.
Contrary to some of the stories that
have been going around" says Jacobs,
we made money on the tour. We
worked on guarantee in all but few
places. But, what is more important,
Schmeling got himself into great shape
on the tour. He boxed more than Ito
rounds and right now weighs about 100
pounds"

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.-

n TO one is going to get away with
N the old ball en- the big hitter
y Of Beaver Dam this year. Will
liam H White, otherwise
known as Bill" to his friends, has
aligned himself with the Golf Commit
tee on this question Of golf balls, and,
as all good golfers are doing, has taken
a stand with the powers that be in
favor Of the use CT the larger and
lighter sphere. But Bill, who earned
the reputation of 1.-The big hitter Of
Beaver Dam" last year, when he out
poled flock Of his fellow members in
a driving contest with the old ball, has
gone a step further than most folks.
In the capaciouS pockets CT Bills
Knockers he carries, in addition to a
flock of tees and q few golf balls, an
octagonal shaped instrument with
round hole in the center. That instru-
ment is cunningly fashioned so that
one OF the new balls will just SliI
through by pressure, while the old ball
will slide through without touching the
inside Of the circle. Now Bill is not a
suspicious gent by any stretch Of the
imagination. He is one of those trust
ing chaps who believe that every one
Is honest and is out to play the game
But, as he explains it, he carries that
tool around with him 50 that If a ques-
ton as to the size of the ball comes
up he can settle the argument in quick
and convincing fashion.
A Ii the hullabaloo over the new ball
"A was so much fun. according 20
N. H. Maier, chairman of the
Beaver Dam Golf Committee. Some Of
the members, displeascd with the way
the new ball played intimated 10 Maier
that they might want to play with the
old ball in the club tournaments, and
Mickey being gent who wants no
minor squabbles TO impair the serenity
OF his golf season, took their kicks
seriously. So seriously in fact that che
Wag told newspapermen Beaver Dam
was considering kicking ever the traces
and going for the old ball in a bigger
and better way this season. Which
would have made Beaver Dam the only
club which had officially denied the new
ball. But all that talk is so much
bosh, according to Maier. and the new
ball will be the only cficial ball for
play in the tournaments at Beaver Dam
this year. whether some folks like 1t or
not. I'VE play golf here in the ortho-
dox way" Maier says. land we abide
by all the rules of the United States
Golf Association"
DEAVER DAM, with 81 holes, is one
- of the most crowded courses around
Washington these days The club
now has more than $40 members and
90 per cent of them. according to Maier,

at the first tee is so great on Saturday

some golfers who get in their reserva-
tons late are not able TO finish before
dark. And the golf course is coming
