TT. PERHAPS was no mere colnci-
denee that ore of the warmest days
of the year arrived along with Max
Sehmeing.
Naturally the ballyhoo for his fight
with Louis will continue to set the
pace for other temperatures until the
dark Uhlan sits down In front OF the
cream-colored Bomber on June rs. As
Mr.. Arthur Brisbane probably quite
often has advised the world, a million
hobs is lot of dounhnuts. Therefore
even such specialists in charitable pro-
motion as the athletic club directors
must shower down their sparks of
imagery so that all citizens with money
to burn will have no trouble finding
their way to the festa altar.
Just as naturally. though. all this
good clean fun has brought new wrn-
kles Into the otherwise bland counte-
nance of Uncle Michael Strauss Jacobs
While wandering hther and yon, now

faces the future with suspicious eye.
Even while engaged In such elevatlng
work as handing out AS Cor some other
letter of the Broadway alphabeD to
the boys who have done the best daily
compositions, the haunted CLEAN ever
Is present.
This Is because, first Of all, Uncle
Mike has no Illusions as to where char
ity lines up for the gun. Then again,
he Is a business man as we'll az the
most eminent promoter since the days
OF the late lamented Richard. So, be-
cause II IL his own dollars which must
back the balyhoo and because full
200 G's worth OF them must be laid on

has sounded. merely am sympathlzing
with Uncle Mike. There have been all
too many such affairs which have en-
countered dire fate In spite Of the best
of skill and Intentions.
For instance there was the time when
Stanley ketchcll and Sam Langford
were ready to enter the ring OF the old
Fairmont club up In the Bronx. Per-
haps a little bird whispered, although
the bird for which the Bronx Is most
famed Is not given to whispering. Or
II may have been that the hlgher-ups
conveyed more direct and forciblc It'd
ings to Billy Gibson, the promoter. Any
how, the affair was junkcd and later
conveyed to Philadelphia.

Wills Battle With Tunney
Never Did Come Off

Sometimes, though, fate behaves very
handsomely In dealing with all parties
concerned High up In this sorting OFT
fights which never came Off there can
be mentioned the Sharkey -Campolo af-
fair, which was scheduled for Yankee
stadium. Just as the woefully small
crowd was vending its way into the
arena, the skies wept In sympathy
with the promoters who were about to
lose small fortune. So the thing was
called off forever
There also was the time when Gen.
tleman Gene Tunney was supposed to
meet Stevedore Harry Wills. con-
siderable portion Of the press thought
favorably about the glorious posslbii-
ties of that one and, indeed the tickets
already had been ordered for 1t.

How Billy Southworth $
Memory Was Stymied

Sadly, being one Of those who are re-
luctant to share the miserles and the
secrets of his profession with the
world. the reporter was forced to admit
the truth.
There was, for instance, the St. Louis
baseball scrivcncr who devoted several
seasons to giving his best aid, advice
and comfort to Billy SouthWorth Per-
haps the reporter and the Cardinal
manager were not as close as Park and
Tilford but to all outward appearances
they seemed two hearts that beat as
one. Then fate (along with the fail
urc to win a pennant) decrecd that
southworth should try his baseball for
tunes elsewhere.
Scant months later the two were
reunited In a hotel lobby.
"How are you, Bill caroled the
baseball writer, rushing forward.
"Ah, uh." 1t was not that Mr.. South
worth Is snob. ribbcr or guy who
devotcs his life to dealing out the Ice
