By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent Lake Swannonoa, N. J.,I May 8. tUP)-There have been greater managers than Joe Jacobs, per- haps, but the man who handles Max Schmeiing stands alone and unchallenged as a picker of train- ing camp sites. No one living or dead, ever surrounded his charge with more pure, unadulterated and, shall we say, unbridled, lux ury than does Jacobs, who comes from the tenements of the east side.
 Joe was thought to have accom- plished his masterpiece last year when he pitched Schmeling's camp at Green Kill lodge. But that was before the. boys under direc- tion of Professor Jack Dempsey got look at this place where the German will prepare for his June joust with Max Baer.
 The clubhouse, once the home of the late Alfred T. Ringing, stands high on a hill overlooking Lake: Swannonoa, It is, to use an architectural phrase, quite joint. The place had IF rooms at the last count, but the man who was making the check got tired and quit on the fifth floor. Jacobs, beaming, led tour of inspection over three floors and here are a few of the rooms uncovered:
 A nightclub, complete to dining booths. orchestra dais, soft lights and walls covered with modernis- tic murals.
 An organ room, with stained glass windows and deep, oriental rugs. "Here," Jacobs explained ''is a swell place for Max to get away from it all. can see him now, fingers running idly over the key board while figuring out a way to get inside Baer's guard with his left"
 A combination library and lounge room with approximately the dimensions of a lacrosse field. In the mahogany cases that line the wall are represented Sehopen- hauer, Henry George, and Eras- mus. There is a story of geographi- caly discovery by, appropriated enough. A student named Joseph Jacobs.
 Schmeling is nuts about good book, Jacobs explained.
 There is a sunken bath, which in an emergency, can be used for launchings, glass enclosed sun porch and three or four ball rooms.
 Surrounding this castle is an estate variously estimated at larger than Maryland and exactly the size of Montenegro. Over its paths and turf run animals from the elusive chipmunk to the more elusive deer. Jacobs said Max might do a little shooting.
 The lake is liberally stocked with trout. Its waters offer an un- surpassed setting for his rescue of a maiden, an act without which no training camp Is official.
 Across the lake (you cross it by a rustic bridge of some 100 yards in length) stand the bungalow where Schmeling, along with Ja- cobs and his staff of trainers, rub bers and cooks will live. It's a modest little place of only some 20 or 30 rooms and was chosen by Jacobs, who explained that the ex- champion liked to trough it."
 Tennis courts, polo field, bridle paths, a boxing arena and we be- lieve, a squash racket court, com plete the training sit. Oh yes, there's a quaint little taproom downstairs and if you will pardon us we're going down now and do a little tapping. My hammer, Charles.
 tPS-As a clincher on what sort of a place this is. let us tell you that there's manicurist shop ad- joining the pressroom. As Hype Igoe said: "Wouldn't I have loved to have seen Kid Broad train in this joint"
