SEES FAT PROFIT
IN 4-CHAMP SHOW
Will Give Boxers $195,UO,
but Believes Card Will
Gross $35O,OOO.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

BY SPARROW McCANN.
n YW YORK, August 30-Ths
M f1stic spotlight centers on HI ol'
" New York for the second
month in succession when
Mike Jacobs sponsors the greatest
array of champions on one card at
the Yankee Stadium on September %.
No one but long shot gambler like
Jacobs would think seriously Of bring.
ing together the champions OF four
divisions In one night, paying them
plenty for their services, and expect to
make any money on the show. Guar.
anteeing something like $l95.0O0 Is
chicken feed to the intrepid promoter.
Figuring matters out from a ticket
SPECTATORS viewpoint, Jacobs esti.
mates the show easily will gross $780,
600. and that will leave him tidy sum
for his efforts.
Prepared for Thil.
IHE Jacobs extravaganza will have
Barney Ross pitting his title
against Ceferino Garcia. Having
whipped the Filipino twice, Chicago
Barney confidently figures he can make
1t three in row. The veteran Marcel
Thil will stack up against young Fred
Apostoli. The former bellhop throws
some mean hooks into the body, and
If Thil cannot take 'em down there
and boilers foul" as he did in Paris
against Lou Brouillard, he will find
his protests will avail him little moro
than having a technical knockout
charged against him. And-the possi-
bility Of heavy fine being assessed
against him for bilking the public and
taking the easy way out.
Harry Jeffra, twice conqueror Of
Sixto Escobar in overweight matches,
gets his chance to make it more dis.
tinctive by annexing the bantamweight
crown. With the crown and money
riding on his efforts, little Escobar is
likely to outscore the Baltimore lad,
If only because Jeffra will be weakened
at the low weight. Rounding out the
bill will be a sizzling affair between
Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers
and Pedro Montanez. This contest is
the most intriguing of the four, If only
because Montanez has a victory over
Ambers, and many fans believe he Ia
the rightful ruler of the l35-pounders,
Lightweight Bout Intriguing.
MoNTANEz won 1o-round deci-
sion from Ambers, but the Her
kimer Hurricane came on late and
crowded the Puerto Rican considerably
during the closing rounds This led
many to believe that Ambers would do
much better with his hustling tactics
if the boys met over the l5-round route.
The Montanez rooters claim Pedro did
not extend himself and purposely per-
mitted Ambers to take the play away
from him in order to coax the cham
pion into giving him a titular engage
ment.
Montanez is wicked puncher tol
the body. He will use his right to
take some Of the steam out Of Amber:
legs and then try for knockout. Am.
bers has an unusual jumping jack
style which does not leave much Of a
target for body blow. The light
weight champion storms in and out
with furry of annoying blows, but
these do not carry the dynamite IN
one Of Pedro's hefty wallops. AmRrs
will have to be real good and At the
top Of his form to retain the crown.
The Ambers- -Montanez contest looms
I'm as the hest 1iphtueipht srron sipea

Ross and Tony Canzoneri four years

Mike Jacobs doesn't think he smells
rain again.
The games little Pinkertons will
need to be IN sound shape, able to
travel Is rounds at fast clip and
to protect themselves at all times.
Tommy Farr, the visiting problem
child, Is supposed to fight Champion
Joe Louis that distance, and the little
fellows had better be in there slug
ging on Joe's side every minute IL
they are to earn their keep
Nobody wants the Welshman to
get hurt-not seriously. Even Mike
Jacobs would be willing to settle for
. nice, comfortable Louis victory on
points. But everybody seems agreed
IL would be a triple-plated catas-
trophe If Tommy actually should saw
the limb of behind all the experts
and win the title, like he's been
threatening.
Predicts 100000 Gate.
A THOUGH he has the Welshman
sewed up tighter than tele-
phone booth, win or lose, Jacobs has
been noticed to blanch, slightly at
the mere suggestion that Farr might
WIN. Joe Louis, as champion, is a
meal ticket that Mike, by all rights,
has only just begun to punch.
Mike gleefully has been predicting
. crowd of 10000 and a s4O0,OOO gate
tonight since new customers kept
coming right along after last Thurs

than ony one else will go in the figures.
Various boxing commissions who
think they've had trouble with some

vidual, like Max Baer, had better 70

II Tonypadny Tommy gets his duke
holsted tonight. The wlllful Welsh

are partly true, might insist that Gen.

ROGER PEACOCK, twice District
~ amateur champ, has played not
more than a dozen games Of golf this
year, and he's far from the rampaging
terror of 1892 and 1884 and 1885,
when he played his best game, but
he's going to have a try at the 1887
District amateur title just the same
when the tourney Is played at Colum-
bia two weeks hence.
No guy who plays about once
month-some mOnths-can
keep his golf game in the
groove, even one with such
good swing as Peacock has.
1t would be the same as asking Don
Bulge to lick Ellie Vines at tennis
after laying OF the game for year.
But Roger doesn't care. Whether
he plays well or badly, he'll be out
there humping the ball around Co.
lumbia and if he qualities he feels
he'll be doing all right. II certainly
need lot Of work on my game" says
Roger. Il don't feel comfortable hit
ting the ball, but maybe 1t will work
back into the groove IN the champion
ship. II it doesn't, I'm not going to
worry. Perhaps can qualify. Some
day soon I'll be able to play a lot Of
golf again-I hope"
CHIP shots . Bobby Brownell, the
District champ, experimenting
with shorter backswing, hasn't been
doing so well, but he1 going to stick
at it. . Jim BroWnell, his foot
2 inch brother, claims he can lick
Bobby any time they start, which Bob
denies.

He asked, in fact, for the same kind
of splendid glassware the state de-
partment has furnished embassies
these many years, except to those
where the servants are careless.
Bullitt's order consisted of four
dozen sets of glassware, with seven
separate pieces in each set, at
cost of SO cents per each for gob-

smaller sizes.
The state department promptly
relayed its order to one of the

Back came no glasses packed in
straw, but a letter from the glass
company saying it was sorry, but
it could not fill the state depart
ments request. Here's where the
crisis comes in. In the words of the
glass company:
The reciprocal tariff agreements
(Which the department of state.
itself, engineered have so reduced
the sales of fine glassware that we
have withdrawn from their manu.
facture." Wowie!
The department called in it's
trade experts, who denied they'd
made any agreements with any
country that had ruined the Amer
ican business in de luxe glassware.
They said the single agreement af-
fecting glass was entered into with
Sweden in 1880 and that it lowered
the tariffs only on decorative glass
objects, retailing at from $25 to
$50 each.
There was something mighty
funny in connection with the table
glass situation, the state depart
ment wrote the glass company, add
ing:
I'VE suggest further research (on
your parD and hope you may see
your way clear to accept this or
der"
That's where the crisis stands
now. Ambassador Bullitt still has
Mt got his glasses and he can't
