SCHMELlNG, KINGFISH
FIGHT DECLARED OFF
German Now Negotiating for Bout
With Hamas in Philadelphia
on February IA.

BY the Associated Press.
@HICAGO, January 10-The pro-
" posed fight between the Chicago
Kingflsh and Max Schmeling, the
German, was definitely of today.
Joe Foley, general manager OF the
Chicago Stadium, said so, and so did
leaping Lena Levy, sister and man
ager Of King Jevinsky, one-tiIne Max
well street fish merchant.
Foley said that Joe Jacobs, manager
for Schmeling, left for Philadelphia last
night to dicker for bout between the
German and Steve Hamas in the
Quaker City February IA. The tight
here had been set for February 16.
Leaping Lena, on the other hand. said
she doubted If Jacobs had the author
ity to arrange a fight for Schmeling.
"And besides" she AIDED, II doubt II
Schmenng really Is coming to America.
He's been sailing every week for three
months, and if I ever see him I'll look
twice before I believe it's him"
The hitch in the local deal came when
Lena insisted that the King be given
q So 500 bonus for signing and 25 per
cent of the gate. Previously she had
insisted on q per cent. but agreed to
compromise If the extra purse was
thrown in.
On that basis Schmeling was to re-
ceive IS per cent Of the proceeds, but
Foley said the Stadium officials didn't
feel they could give it to him unless
Lena relented her demands for the
$2,500. She didn't.

VIRGINIA RACE TRACK
NEAR D. C. PROBABLE

Under Bill Which Will Be
Submitted This Week.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
n ICHMOND, Va, January 10.-Pos-
n sibility of major Virginia race
track located near Washington
loomed today following drafting here OF
bill legalizing racing and pari-mutuel
betting for submission this week to the
General Assembly.
The measure was reported by Dele
gate Wilbur C. Hall, Loudoun County,
chairman of the House Finance Com
mittee and author of the bill. Hall
contended, in drafting the bill. that
the State will benefit in taxes to the
extent of between $225,000 and $780,
600 annually. One-fourth of the in
come derived, according to plans, would
be divided among county fair associa-
tions throughout the State with the
remainder going to general State funds.
The number of tracks would be lin
tied to three. In addition to the near
by Washington site, track would be
located at Virginia Beach. The third
site is undecided upon.
Commercialization evils would be
eliminated to great extent, it Is be-
lieved, by placing a tax on admission
instead Of the State receiving q per-
centage Of pari-mutuel wagers, which
Is the system generally practiced In

Despite the unbalanced economic
conditions, there was no diminution Of
interest in amateur athletics in 1888.

peted in sanctioned open events and
hundreds Of thousands participated In
novice and closed events under the

Because of the Century of Progress,
Chicago became the sports capital Of
the country last year. The A. A. U.

ambitious sports program ever at
tempted. More than 40 national cham
pimships were conducted and over $50
separate competitions were held in
practically every sport.
Special features Of 1888 were the adj
vancement made by Southern track and
field athletes, the growth Of interest In
amateur ise hockey and the supremacy
of the Midwest in amateur basket ball
and wrestling.
