 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE

By HENRY NACLENlO1kE ,(United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Dec 30. (UP)-Jack Sharkey says Max Schmeling is a "quitter."
 Joe Jacobs says Jimmy Johnston and Madison Square Garden arc $f$!' ($"s!!
 Jimmy Johnston says Joe Jacobs is the same thing, only redoubled. Jack Dempsey agrees with Jacobs.
 Sharkey threatens to put the lug on Dempsey if Jack, through Ja- cobs, doesn't quit saying mean things about the heavyweight champion.
 Thirty cities are clamoring for the honor of holding the Max Baer- -schmeling shindig.
 Podners, that just a few of the more choice items de ballyhoOey that have been coked up since your old friend Dempsey blew into town and stole the best heavyweight match of them all right from un- der the nose of Madison Square Garden. If Brother Jack and his disciples were able to concoct-and get printed--this much high pres sure stuff from the mere signing of the documents, can you imagine what we'll have to read between now and the time the two Maxes arc thrown in there together, sometime in June?
 We can, and that's why we're seriously considering abandoning sports writing and hitting to the tall timber, there to raise cocker spaniels, far from the nauseous odor of over-ripe tripe.
 We hope we are able to get away before CD Schmeling falls in love with q Park Ave, deb, whose whose millionaire father objects to the match CD Baer receives a death threat (3) Schmeling res- cues a beautiful girl from drown ing (4) Dempsey refuses Baer per- mission to travel from training camp to scene of battle in sub marine (5) Schmeiing announces new and mysterious knockout punch, the Zig-Zag overland upper cut (0 Baer's sparring partners quit, saying the Californian's s blows are too punishing.
 We made slight error back at the start of this essay, when we ubteu the Ieud between Jimmy Johnston and Joey Jacobs as Bal lyhoo. It isn't. It's on the level. It's been going on a long time, prob ably from the day when Jacobs beat Johnston to Schmeling. The decision in the Sharkey -Schmeiing fight last summer didn't help mat ters. Now Jacobs comes talOng and robs the Garden of the one bout Of the year by handing his man to Dempsey. It's no secret that J0hns- ton and the Garden had planned to promote the SchmeIing- -Baer fra cas. and then throw the winner against Sharkety for the title later in the year.
 Now Johnston has only a second go between Sharkey and Primo. the ponderous one. to fall back on. And that means the Garden, the biggest boxing house of them all. is going to play second fiddle to Dempsey and Jacobs. this year at least. For another meeting of Sharkey and Camera wouldn't pack your buffers pantry. at two bits a head.
