JACOBS DUE
In DETROIT
THIS WEEK

According to well-informed
sources close to Joe Louis there is
a strong possibility that the Brown
Bomber" may soon be signed to
meet AL Ettore, in fistic battle in
Detroit.
Fight experts point out that Et-
torres defeat of Leroy Haynes,
hard hitting colored fighter, on
June 20, makes him a more for
midable heavyweight contender
than before. A fight with Ettore
would give Louis the chance to
prove to the world that his bout
with Schmeling was on an off
night, such as all athletes ex-
perience. The fight would further
afford Louis an opportunity to
stage a comeback and show that
the Joe Louis who fought with
Max Schmeling was not the real
Joe Louis.
For several days, there have
been persistent rumors that .
match between Louis and Ettore
might soon be signed. 1t is also
stated that certain promoters in
the East have asked John Rox-
borough if he would agree to the
proposed bout between Louis and
Ettore, and that no objection was
