Jacobs Seeks New Site and
Demands 100000
Guarantee.
By United Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The pro-
posed fifteen-round heavyweight
title bout between Champion Max
Schmeling and Mickey Walker at
Miami, Fla, Feb. Is, has been can
celed, and Something's manager,
Joe Jacobs, today is open for a title
bout against any opponent, at any
place and under any auspices that
will guarantee 100000 for Schmel-
ing.
Jacobs notified Madison Square
Garden officials Wednesday night
that Schmeling would not 60
through with the Miami match be-
cause it seemed like a losing propo-
sition, financially, for Schmeling,
and because Jimmy Johnston, box
ing manager at the Garden, had
been throwing ice water on the
affair."
Contracts for the bout were to
have been signed Wednesday.
Considers Other Offers
"We still are willing to fight
Walker" Jacobs said this morning.
But Schmeling must be paid for
the fight. He is the worlds cham
pion and I will not permit him to
risk his title for nothing"
Jacobs said he was considering
propositions from st. Louis, New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and At
lantic City for a title bout. Any
city where fifteen-round matches
are permitted can have the bout, he
said, if the champion is guaranteed
100000. He was not particular as
to the opponent, he explained.

the managerial business, Investigate
ed conditions in Florida and report
ed to Jacobs that there was no pos

If no 100000 guarantee is forth
coming, Schmeling may forsake the
ring until summer, and enter the
talkies, his manager threatened. He
said the Universal and R-K-O COM
panies were trying to sign Max for
serials. Also, Max might make an
extended exhibition tour of the
United States.
