The fourteenth annual con- vention of the Southern New England Stamp societies will be held in Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sat- urday, April 18th, at the Strat- field hotel, from 2 p. m. until you-want-to-go-home.
 The convention, this year, will take the form of jamboree, which type of entertainment has proven so popular of late. There will be no set program or for nal dinner, just a good old fashioned ,get-together of the stamp collecting fraternity and an auction of worth while ma terial.
 All collectors, everywhere, young and old alike, are in- vited to attend the jamboree. There will be no charge what so-ever. Bring your duplicates and swap. Bring your favorite show pieces and exhibit them to an interested audience. Do you collect pre-cancels, first day covers, air mails, ship covers. United States, foreign or what have you? What ever 1t is, you will find a kindred soul here at tme jamboree. Door prizes will be awarded at the auction and there will be souvenirs for all.
 Bridgeport Is celebrating its Tooth anniversary as a city, this year, and we will issue a special cachct commemorating the jubi- lee and the jamboree.
 All clubs may submit material for the auction, limit ten lots t1 ea' club. Send lots by reg istered mail to E. N. Sampson, APO Allyndale road, Stratford, Conn, who will acknowledge re- ceipt Of same. lease send only worth while material as this will bring the better prices. Get material in early. Covers for the cachet should be sent to Fred J. Wieler, 120 Beardsley Park Terrace, Bridgeport, Conn.,, unsealed and ready to go.
 Bloomington, Illinois, is to be placed on a P. o. D. airmail route in the near future. A most attractive cachet will be applied on the inauguration of this service by the Corn Belt Phila- telic society in cooperation with the Bloomington Association of Commerce and the Daily Panta- graph. Covers for this event should be sent unstuffed and unsealed to George D. Houchin, 405 East Washington street, Bloomington. Illinois. Covers with sufficient postage will be returned by air mail, otherwise first class mail. Pleas use com mem0ratives on your letters.
 Paraguay and Bolivia both have good news for map or globe collectors. Bolivia has is- sued q small set of maps de- picting a map of Bolivia with surrounding countries more or less definitely sketched in with various types of matching. AS far as may be ascertained riv- CTS and principal cities are placed accurately. The country is surrounded by a deep line in the same color as the stamp which makes one wonder at the designers patriotism. Each stamp is wlel centered and effective in solid blue, yellow and red on the two, three and five cen- tavos respectively. The open white contrasting with solid matching of surrounding coun- tries produces an effect superior to any other map stamp seen by this map specialist.

Mike has offered the Garden
three propositions: Cd He will
buy the Gardens contract on
Braddock; CD he will sell the
Garden his own contract on
Schmeling, or 90 he will 60 in
with the Garden on a joint pro
motion, provided the fight is held
in one of the ball parks which he
controls and not in the Gardens
Long Island bowl.
1t is evident both sides are
playing poker with both afraid to
call. The time element will soon
force both hands to a showdown.
BY the terms of its contract
with the champion, the Garden
must name a challenger satiSfac-
tory to Braddock by the twenty
ninth of this month.
The Garden threatens to name
John Henry Lewis, the light
heavyweight champion, whom it
controls, and whom Braddock has
already beaten.
The boxing commission will
turn down this proposal because
it is already on record with
Schmeling as its only suitable and
acceptable challenger.
If Jacobs carries out his threat
to rematch Louis and Schmeling,
the Garden and Braddock will be
left holding an empty bag. In
that event Jacobs would have an
other huge gate and the Garden
would have a champion but no
body to fight him. And at the
moment the champion is as short
of money as chiquaqua is of
hair.
Both Mike Jacobs and Joe
Jacobs, Schmeling's manager, be-
lieve another Louis Schmeling
fight would draw far more than
the last which crossed over half
a million dollars. Said Joe:
"Max would like a crack at
the title, of course, but in a
title bout he would get a very
small percentage. In a return
bout with Louis, he would get

Comeback Drive
Set for Louis

LOS ANGELES, July 1.-Nego-
tiations were opened here today
for a comeback campaign by Joe
Louis, fallen Brown Bomber"
The erstwhile leading heavy
weight prizefighter, who sue
cumbed to the iron fist of Max
Schmeling, is resting in Chicago,
but word was brought here by his
former boxing partner, Gorilla"
Jones, that he will come to the
Coast within a month If a suit
able opponent can be found"
Suitable" opponents will have
to come from the rather long list
of slightly frayed heavyWeightS
now boxing on the coast. These
included Max Baer, former champ,
now attempting a comeback; Lee
Ramage, San Diego CCalO boy
who was knocked into fistic OBJ
livion by the Joe Louis of happier
days; King Levinsky, the veteran
Chicago fish peddler; Hank Hank
inson, Art Lasky, and several
others.
The Gorilla" former worlds
middleweight champion, said he
had conferred with Julian Black,
Louis manager, in Chicago and
had learned the Bombed Bomber"
planned to make two or three
starts here.
Louis is taking it easy for a
while, gradually working him
self into condition." Jones said.
He told me he enjoyed his visit
to the Coast in 1885, and wanted
to come back here"

Recent RinQ
Victory Is
BiQAid
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, July 1.-Since
winning is not wholly without
habit-forming symptoms and runs
in cycles, like the exposure OF
decolette shirt for men. I'm in
clined to feel that the Herr
Something's stunning victory in
the ring may forecast a few
major shocks for America when
the olympic games go on in Der.
lin during the early weeks OF
August.
The Germans, for example,
thought they were pretty good,
anyhow. Now, with the sweep of
patriotic fervor brought on by the
magic of Herr Something's deed,
they'll be harder to stop than
overland they figured to be hard
enough.
Tougher Than Ever
The intellectuals call this
"thought-SuggeStion" but H d
Olympic Coach Lawson Robert
son doesn't think they needed
any.
as C h m eling'S victory will
make them a little tougher"
he added today. ut might
even make them win. They
have a good squad and a really
good chance. And they've been
waiting 20 years"
He referred to the fact that the
1916 OlympicS would have been
held in Berlin, only most of the
nations were unavoidably detained
out of town. They didn't even
get there spiritually until Novem-
Der IL, 1918.
Anyhow, all of us are probably
too much impressed with current
American performances in dist
trict and other trials. Throw
those out, as we of the cauli-
floweria culture say. Well prob
ably leave behind in America a
team as good as the one we take
across. Throw out the Los
Angeles Olympics, too. That one
was on the home grounds and this
one is on theirs.
Dubious Tactics
Our Olympic performances,
too, like the two-mile record of
Don Lash, often come under the
head of dubious tactics. It's like
playing poker with your cards face
up. We put our stars in the head
lines. The Germans put theirs
under glass and, for purposes of
any thing in this connection they
might like to conceal from the out
side world, the country is practi-
cally sound-proof.
I'm not suggesting that Met
sche's ubermenchen have come out
of the pages of theoretical science
to join Germany's Olympic team.
But, for every top performance
here, they could show one almost
as good and sometimes better, and
they have brought to the business
of preparation such an air of or
ganized stealth that 1 can only
think they mean us no good. Nor
do I feel too greatly taken in by
what seems to be transparent
guilelessness.
"Of course" they say lightly,
with a patronizing smile for
their own antics, I'VE have no
chance"
But the German doesn't live who
thinks he has no chance-or need
we again go into the lamentable
unpleasantness that took place
less than two weeks ago at the
Yankee Stadium
The Washington times., 1936-07-01

three or four times as much as
he would in a title bout. There
fore, we'd just as soon fight
Louis again"
Nevertheless, the long history Of
boxing proves that whenever any
considerable portion of a million
dollars is involved, business men
always get together somehow.
And the rulers of the Garden
and the Twentieth Century are
first, last and all the time, bust
ness men.
