will be here in September to have
a go at Max Baer, the balmy BRIDE
groom.

Bile, which arrived just as dusk
settled over pugugly lane yester-
day. had an electric effect on two
gentlemen. When Jimmy (Jack-
anapes) Johnston, Garden match
maker, read it, his spirit scared to
a point well above Shelley's famed
low-wing. Lockheed-yega Lark.
Mamma from Heaven
"Tis mama from heaven!"
Johnston explained as he read the
cable again to be sure his eyes
weren't up to some knavery. Get
on the phones, boys. and tell every
body"
, In just the time it takes to dial,
the phones in every sports depart
ment in town we're buzzing and
Johnston, hopping from one to
another like a squirrel on a limb,
was pouring out his glad tidings.
"It'll be the greatest fight in his
tory. do a million j. well,
half that, anyway yeah, I'm
on the level i. just talked to
Jacobs by that over the ocean
phone business now, amt
nothing the matter with Baer's
hands /. they're just as sound
as his head that's right, Sep
TENDER 26 at sthe Garden
Bowl =. and on and on and on
and on. :"
Mr.. Johnston's free-wheeling Joy
was only exceeded by the anger of
Mike Jacobs, when Joe the Jacobs
message was read to him in Chi
cago. Mike, head man of the
Twentieth Century Sporting club,
had left for Chicago yesterday
morning, firm in the belief that
Schmeling was bound to him and
would fight Joe Louis under his
banner here late in the summer.
Before departing for the west and
the supervision of the Louis-Lev-
insky scrap, Mike assured the press
that Schmeling had agreed to work
for him.
Double Crossed
When informed that the Ger
man had switched to the Gardens
side, Mike said all manner of
things, including repeated mention
of the double-cross, the fair en-
blem of pugilism.
Just what caused Joe the Jacobs
to switch from Mike and Louis to
the Garden and Baer is not known.
But our guess is that Joe sat him
self down in some Berlin beer gar
den and, tanning himself with a
swastika, started figuring out loud.
Something like this, say:
IF you let Schmeling fight Louis
you'll make more dough than you
will with Baer fight, but the
chances are your man'll get
knocked so cold, so stiff, he'll be
out of the championship race for
ever. Now. if he fight Baer he'll
beat that big hooligan, and he can
still have shot at Louis next
June. And if not Louis, then
Braddock, and a chance to regain
his title"
Jacobs May Switch
There Is fine chance, of course,
that before another sun sets Joe
the Jacobs will have switched back
from Johnston and Baer to Mike
and Louis. This for several rea-
sons. One is that Joe the Jacobs.
