manager and you oughta know
Banned In Germany
Perhaps it should be pointed out
here. before going into jacobs tes-
timony. that Joe is manager OF
Schmeling everywhere in the world
but Germany. Because of anti-Se-
mite sentiment in Germany, Joe
lets Max do all his own thinking
and signing for bouts in that coun-
try. and attends them only as a
spectator.
According to Jacobs, Johnston
lost the match for the garden only
because he wouldn't give Hamas
and Uncle Charley" Harvey,
Steve's manager, $4,000.
Jimmy knew Charley and Steve
needed the money, and he knew l
was ready to sign Schmeling, but
he never got around to it. After 1t
was too late he wanted me TO call
Schmeling on the trans-oceanlc
phone and get him to pull out OF
the match. But I'd been smart TO
90 that, now wouldn't L? When
Schmeling finally gets sucker TO
come over and fight him IN his own
backyard, he wants me TO have 1T

Il am" answered Jacobs. Hell
get him in eight rounds. He'd have
got him that time in Philadelphia
if there'd been just one more
round"
According to Jacobs, one OF the
reasons Johnston and Harvey nev-
er got together is that Harvey, who
used to hire Johnston to run err
rands for him, can't get it out OF
his head that Jimmy still isn't a
boy.
HE still wants to send the gar
den promoter around the corner for
a pack of chewing gum instead OF
