JACOBS TIES UP
 HEAVYWEIGHT
 BOXING MARKET
Schmeling Signed for Louis in June; BraddOck
 Only M. s. G. Figure
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 11-(UP)-Twen- tseth Century club promoter Mike Jacobs, who learned fight promot- ing under the late Tex Rickard, held a corner today on all major heavyweight contenders.
 Max Schmeling, Joe Louis, Pauli- no Uzcudun, Isadore Gastanaga and Charley Retzlaff-all now belong to the man who, in less than a year, has practically filled the spot once held by Rickard.
 Only star outside Jacobs realm is the champion himself, James J. Braddock, who is under contract to fight for Madison Square Garden in his first title defense.
 Moving In
 But the rapidity with which Ja- cobs has tied up all the available contenders makes it almost certain that when Braddock steps into the ring next year to lay his title on the line Mike will have a finger in the promotorial pie.
 Jacobs made this virtual cer- tainty yesterday by signing Schmel- ing, former champion, to box Louis next June over the 15-round route. Schmeling signed after be- ing informed by the New York State Boxing Commission that he could not meet Braddock before elimin- ating Louis.
 Thus the Garden is placed in the spot of having a champion but no worthy challenger, because all of them are under option to Jacobs. Schmeling, should he beat Louis, will become the No. contender and also will be bound to Jacobs for a year.
 An important stipulation in the contract provides that the docu- ment will be voided in case Louis is beaten in any of his three next fights-Paulino Uzcudun on Fri day; Isador Gastanaga of Spain at Havana on Dec. 29 and Charlie Retzlaff at Chicago, Jan. IT. Protection
 Maxie agreed not to accept any match before the Louis fight. If Louis should lose to any of his next three opponents, Schmeling would become free agent but the catch there is that the man who beats Louis also is under option to Ja- cobs and by eliminating the num- Der one challenger, he automatical- ly would step into that spot Schmeling, therefore, still would have to do business with Jacobs ir order to stay in the running for g crack at the crown he once held.
 Max will attend Fridays Louis Uzcudun bout and will return tt Germany on Monday. He plans tt return to America in March to be- come properly acclimated befor' starting training.
 Jacobs will stage the fight al Yankee Stadium and figures it vii draw between $1,500,000 and $2,000,- 900. A definite date will be an- nounced later. Each fighter gets 30 per cent of the net gate.

WOLVES TAKE. HOOP I HRILLER.
 ION NE. Y COURT
Overtime Game Lost .2l- I0 By lilly Jrs.; Eagles
 Smother COlOnials

In the two games at the North End "Y" last night, the wolves, dark horses of the 1935-36 senior league pennant chase, were forced to go in- to an overtime period to win out, but finally managed to defeat the strong Hillie Juniors, 21-19 in one of the most thrilling battles ever staged st the North End hut. The Eagles, favorites from the beginning. easily defeated the Colonials in the sec ond game. Both games were played before a large crowd.
 A second string guard and a lanky forward who carried on the tradition of the Leece family were the heroes oi the Wolf victory. Eddie Hodkowski played sensational defensive game in the last quarter, holding Joe Ri- naldi scoreless in the crucial mo- ments of the game. Babe Leece, youngest of the four basketball playing Leece brothers, took long pass from brother Bob, sank Setup shot under the hoop and won the game in the overtime session. Bro ther Bob turned in a good defensive job in holding Krasnovsky scoreless while annexing seven points himself Pip Sodano tied the score in the closing moments of the regular game, the fourth of his four success full long shots clipping the cords with three seconds to go, tieing the score at 1919.
 The work of Del Gobbo and Louie Chestone stood out for the Eagles as they maintained an upper hand throughout in defeating the Colon ials, 21-14. Ett Spadola and Gus De- Sena stood out for the Colonials but the superior play of the Eagles as whole offset their play. The scores:

the Giants is fairly well satisfied with his present club; Branch 499 yards in 140 carriers. Rickey of St. Louis says he has had no offers but will dispose of all but important players, Manager Charley Grimm of Chicago wants to trade Outfielder Chuck Klein to the Phillies for Pitcher Curt Davis; Pittsburg and Cincinnati will re- tain their present squads and Bos- ton has no money to spend and no players to spare.
 Both leagues held the first meet ings yesterday. The Nationals went on records to continue their night baseball policy status quo. The Americans again voted unanimously against fioodlights. The Nationals will do the same next year as they did in 1935-permit each club to play seven home games at night. | Deserving
 Ford Prick, president of the league one year, was reelected for 8 two year term and given a raise. Boston was selected as the site for the 1886 all-star game.
 The Americans elected Jacob Rup- pert vice president to succeed the late Frank J. Navin of Detroit. Walter O. Briggs, new owner of the Detroit Tigers, was elected to mem bership in the league.
 The American league voted, Sub- ject to approval by the National league, to admit children under 13 to ball games for 25 cents and to place eastern teams on schedule which would send them against western opponents on a 3-3-3-2 basis. Under the present system eastern clubs play two four-game series and one three-game series 10 the west.

v
 A week ago Ruppert and Joe Mo- Carthy, manager of the Yankees, announced confidently that they could win the flag in 1886 with their present squad.
 Two deals yesterday caused a rapid change in their optimism.
 First, Jimmy Foxx, slugging first baseman, and Johnny Marcum, a great young pitcher, were sold to the Red Sox by Philadelphia.
 Second, Al Simmons, erstwhile batting champion of the American league, was sold to the world cham pion Detroit Tigers by the Chicago White Sox.
 The transactions added so much strength to the Boston and Detroit clubs that Col. Ruppert admitted he might be forced to spend money to put his team in next years race. Harder Wanted
 Ruppert was willing to trade Ben Chapman, his temperamental out fielder, and Johnny Allen, a pitcher, to Cleveland in exchange for Mel Harder, the Indians ace hurler.
 But Cleveland officials turned down their thumbs and said:
 ''We won't trade but you can buy Harder if you put up enough cash money"
 The Indians are more interested in obtaining a catcher than an out fielder, so Manager Steve O'Neill has concentrated on that depart ment. One rumor said Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox have a deal coming up but there was no confirmation.
 Because of the Foxx and Sim mons deals, the major news yester- day broke in American league head quarters. It may be different to- day, since the way for trades in the National league was opened when Bob Quinn was awarded the fran chise for the Boston Braves.
 Backed by syndicate of business men, Quinn will run the Braves next year with view toward pull. ing them out of the red.
 His plan was given unanimou! support by National league execu tiyes with the stipulation tha Charles Francis Adams, former ma jority stockholder in the club, woult have no connection with the team. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, com missioner of baseball, drowned ol Adams because of the latter's rac horse connections.
 Mystery
 National league owners and man agers have been reticent so fal about their trading plans. Casey Stengel of Brooklyn says all ht wants is ball players; Bill Terry oI

Washington Hill Court Season Starts Tomorrow

Washington Hill sport fans will get their first glimpse of basketball for the coming year tomorrow night at the Washington Park Commu- nifty house where fine double header has been arranged and this will be followed by dancing.
 The Raymond Hillies, city junior champs of last year, will open their 1935-36 campaign against the St. Mary's team from New Britain. The Saints were state junior champs last year and have one of the fast est passing teams around these parts. The visitors this year have given up playing junior teams and are now playing some of the lead- ing semi pro teams in the state, and although they have dropped a few games to date two of them have been by two points.
 Look For Tougher Games
 Providing they make good showing against the visitors, the Hillies will step out of the junior ranks and take on the leading senior and junior teams in the state. With Pete Pomponio and Freddy Sullivan being lost to the team due to their playing with the Wilby High school team, Red Glad ney has signed up Johnny Martin and Al Colgan to play with the doughboys this year. Martin played with the N. E. Y. varsity team last year and Colgan saw service with the Wilby Wildcats. The rest of the team includes Armand Cunha, Joe Pomponio, Al Zachs and George Stankevich, all from last years squad.
