JACOBS, GARDEN WAR STARTS FOR
 BIG TITLE BOUT
BraddOck and Schmeling to Battle in September;
 Bomber Proved 'Dud'
By HARRY CRIMSON annrta EAltar NEA Service

NoW 4OgEe 9ukA9 9Os-WGAlp ADB V we are with the Morales in command again, and Madison Square Garden threatening to have the law on Mike Jacobs unless he lays off Jim Brad dock and Max schmelin8.
 Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick wants that one for September In the sunken Garden ln Queens, but Bradd0ck says he will box for Jacobs and despite his Garden contract. Jacobs has schmeling signed, but the Garden claims to have some kind of a hold on the German.
 have an idea that the Braddock who outpointed Max Baer last June would have ottgalloped the echmel. ing of the ether night. What c fat- tened up Braddock will do after more than Q year of banquets and handshaking Is something else again.
 It was an inspired Schmeling who came out of the LouiS scrap. Brad- dock hasn't got any too much time to get ready if they collide in the fall, and the Jersey Mick doesn't 1ig- llre to be any keener if the match iS put off until next year.
 The promoters sQuabhle may re. suit in that. With one si2abie purse to his credit, ectmeling may decide against the high tax bracket that Q second bout would mean. Herr Maxie likes plenty of time between starts, too.
 Again the mistake Braddock made in not tackllng Echmeling in the first place is stressed. Among other things, echmeling proved Braddock had much more chance against Louis than anybody suspected.
 While the next big heavyweight show is being lined up, ringwornns continue to talk about what on the surface appeared to Dc on amazing feat by schmeling.
 The world was wrong, and sHnil. ing, courteous Schmeling was right
 6chmeling said Louis was an al1i- ateur. He was-the first time he was smacked solidly by e puncher'b fist encased in a small glove.
 schmeling said that he saw Q weakness in Louis arnor. He did. It was that the dark angel carried his left guard too low and couldn't be missed with short Tight-hArd punch.
 Dempsey Had to Take Test
 Never go overheard on 6 fighter until you see how he behaves when his knees buckle Or are dipped in the resin. That has been Q ring axiom since Jack Broughton wrote the first set Of rules. Old-tiiners irls sisted upon Jack Dempsey meeting that final test. It was not until after Qunboat Smith nearly sank him in San Francisco in 1918 that the late Spider Kelly predicted that the Manassa Mauler would win the championship.
 But even veterans with tired old eyes waived the rule in their ad. miration of Louis, the picture boxer. That's what Smoky Joe was ell along--a picture fighter. The young Negro was an automaton-the pup pet of the ancient Jack Blackburn, who, like all the rest, became SC wrapped up in his charge that he didn't consider 1t necessary to show him what to do when he was on the floor.
 Against echmellng, Louis for the first time was in there with fight- CT capable of setting the last re- maining question in regard to the erstwhile Brown Bomber, can he take it?" The answer was yes, but that he didn't like 1t.
 I can't recall fighter touted tc the extent that Louis was who went to pieces 50 completely when hit.
 schmeling wasn't afraid. Loill hit him and nothing happened That was Q new kind of Q game to the young Negro. Schmeling hit Louis and hurt him. That also was a new kind of c game to the colored clouter.
 Methodical Max marched front and center with Q fixed plan of bat tle and never varied. He bent hia body Q bit and pulled down Q bit low to the right and kept moving, Louis said that Schmeling fought sideways, and that he found him difiicult to fight.
 echmeling took much of the wind out of Louis' sails right under the gun in the opening canto when he planted Q right hand that packed plenty of authority on the Alabama. born darky's forehead. It was sig nificant that Louis only reached out with his right in retaliation, al. though nothing was thought of 1t at the time.
 Looking back at 1t, you suspect that 1t was at this early stage of the proceedings that Louis realized that here at last was Q warrior who was not afraid of him.
 Max's Rights Exploded
 Louis Myth
 There is nothing quite as discour- aging to a lighter used Co bowling over opponents as to have nothing happen when he lands his best shots, particularly when he is 3ac- ing Q rival whom he regarded as soft. The courageous Schmeling took everything Louis had for three rounds. Joe doubled up the German with a right-hand body belt near the close of the ( hird and raled him with short punches to the head.
 At this junCture it did not seem that 1t would be long for echmel- ing. But the Teuton had not yet started to fight, and when he did ifl the next round, it quickly was proved that Louis wasn't any part
