thing else in the World-yes, even
more than money. Make actual
" refused a S3O0,000 guarantee to
meet Louis in a return bout last
September. He said then, Il want
Cnly dot title
Right now Make considers
himself uncrowned world cham
pion by virtue of his kayo over
Louis and Braddock's evasion.
And if he can get general recog :
milton. through European chan
ncls. he might forgo second
meeting with Louis in America
under Mike Jacobs promotion.
He might do this even though he
owes Mike Jacobs more than $3O,-
600 and even though Make loves
the American dollar almost as
much as he does the Swastika.
Accordingly Herr Schmeling is
ripe for any conspiracy that may
achieve general recognition as
champion-or that may force
Promoter Mike Jacobs to give him
more than the challenger's end in
tile bout with Louis at Chi
Icago in September.
And European promoters are
making the most of Makes atti-
tude. We find Brig.-en. A. C.
Critchley, promoter at London's
White City Stadium, trying to
complete negotiations for a
Schmeling Tommy Farr bout in
August, to be recognized by the
British Board of Boxing Control
as for the world title.
These negotiations are a direct
slap in the face to Mike Jacobs,
who was supposed to be just like
that with Critchley. In fact
Critchley came over here last year
and profeSSed to be Uncle" Mikes
bosom pal-at cocktail parties, etc.
Critchley was supposed to be
planning a Louis-Farr fight in
London before he whetted his knife
and shifted to Schmelnig.
But Mike Jacobs is an expert as
dismantling the other guys double
cross and building one Of his own.
So Uncle Mike is negotiating
for Louis to defend his title
against Jack Doyle or Len Harvey
or Buddy Baer in London month
before the Schmeling-Farr bout
can be staged. And Promoter
Jacobs might let Louis fight one
of those three geezers in July
just 10 take the edge off rival pro-
motion-if he thought it advisable.
Meanwhile Madison Square Gar
den, angered no end at losing
control of the title, is advancing
Young Bob Pastor as the logical
challenger" Pastor lasted a 10
round pursuit race with Louis,
and Promoter Jimmy Johnston
claims he can beat the Bomber.
In fact Jimmy Johnston planned
to have Pastor introduced in Chi
cago as a challenger, but Mike
Jacobs took care of that-With a
couple Of Strong-arm guys. And
Pastor never entered the Comiskey
Park ring.
Regardless of what faction wins
out in this double crossing compe
petition, it IS satisfying to realize
that the big-time fight game at
last has reached its proper level
And that the boys,-here and
abroad are dispensing with
pleasantries and are cutting at
one another'S throats in the open.
1t should be a lot Of fun-this
regime of Joe Louis-this era of
the doublecross.

By lack CUDDY


New York. June 27.U.R)-The
double cross kayoes the right
cross in the manly art:
The regime of heavyweight
champion Joe Louis probably W Il
be recorded in ring history as the
era of The Double Cross; likewise
the months that Immediately pre-
ceded it. However, the Brown
Bomber apparently is an innocent
storm center.
In this era, broken jaws are re-
placed by broken promises. Cash
ed brows give way to slashed
backs. the solar pleXus punch is
forgotten as mitt mogulS slug be-
low the belt. International sports
manShip tobogganS to internation-
al phenagling.
Joe Louis is world heavyweight
champion by virtue of his eighth
round Knockout over James J.
Braddock. He is recognized as
such by the all-important New
York Boxing Commission and by
the National Boxing Association
That's right-The New York COM
mission recognizes him. Although
Braddock was under suspension
in New York when he met Louis
The Bomber'S New York license
had expired in May. Hence Louis
did no. become automatically
suspended in New York for fight
ing suspended boxer. And
Chairman John J. Phelan and
Commissioner Bill Brown, say
"Certainly-We must recognize
Louis as champion. Any other
course would be silly.
Louis may be champion in the
United States, but the Interna-
tional Boxing Union, with head
quarters in Paris, has proclaimed
Max Schmeling world titleholder
The I. B. U. does this because
Schmeling knocked out Louis last
June and because Braddock Wrig-
gled out of a contract to defend
his title against Schmeling for
Madison Square Garden in New
York. June 3.
Feature sidelights of Louis
championship victory are these:
Cd Schmeling was double cross
ed out of a chance to recapture
the crown from Braddock; co
Madison Square Garden was ma
neuvered out of its strangle-hold
on the heavy title, and 90 Shrewd
manipulating by Promoter Mike
Jacobs of the 10th Century Club
was important in both develop
mentS.
In the wake of that title fight
we find thai Promoter Jacobs has
Louis under a five-year contract
and bound to make at least four
defenses a year; Promoter Jacobs
has Braddock under a threc-year
contact, and Promoter Jacobs has
Schmaling under contract for one
more fight-not necessarily for
the title.
He'll hath no fury greater than
a SChmeling double crossed. The
beetle-b -broWed TeutCn Schlager is
angry at Mike Jacobs, at the New
York Commission and at almost
everyone connected with the fight
game. Herr Schemling is an ex-
pert with the double cross. He
used it prolifcally when cham
pion. He used it later-even
against his so-called Manager Joe
jacobs to cut down. "YuSSel the
Muscle" on the gate percentages,
although YusSel won the title for
Max by yelling foul when Make
staged that sit-doWn strike in the
first Sharkey fight.
Schmeling wishes to be the first
man in heavy weight history ever
TO re-capture the crown. He
wants that honor more than any

The Black Codes

The black codes were laws passed
in the South after the Civil war to
regulate the negroes under the new
conditions. The codes were moder-
ate for the most part, but a few
states had laws which were looked
upon by the North as leading to
future trouble.

Prolific Check
Writer Jailed
NO GOOD CHECKS TAKEN
BY MANY MERCHANTS
DURING WEEK

A trail of bad checks led Emil
Becker of Morgan to the Redwood
county Jail Saturday. He is held
there under $3.50 bonds awaiting
either preliminary examination by
Judge T. F. Reed Jr., or being
bound over to district court as he
shall decide.
Mr.. Becker enjoyed a few days
in the city possessed of several
blank checks and a few extra
names. Some checks, most of them
in one and two dollar varieties,
were signed Emil Becker, some
Eme Becker, some Bill Becker and
one, presumably passed by the
same man, was signed Bill Rolpee.
A permanent wave from the
Paris shop, whiskey from the
liquor store, groceries from the
IGA store and City Market, a
jackknife from Wilcox hardware
and lunches at Lauterbach's were
among the things which Mr.
Becker's prolific pen brought him
during his brief spree. He wrote
one check for $25 to the Redwood
Falls Motor company as down
payment on a Ford car, but was
Investigated before the car was
allowed to leave the place.
Not once, but many times did
Mr.. Becker pass worthless checks
with Redwood Falls merchants.
After receiving three, Joe Latter
bach signed the complaint which
led to the mans arrest. The City
Market has three, the municipal
liquor store two. Others who ac-
cepted them included the coffee
shop and the Green Parrot cafe.
