SCHME[|NG BANKS
0NBATTL|NC Jim
Sure He'll Be in June Tilt.
Baer, London Promoters
Sued by Garden.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, March 3.-Leavine
N the art of legerdemain to ma
v gicians, here's the way the
4 heavyweight boxing situation
looked today.
A healthy-looking, diplomatic Max
Schmeling, who believes he can beat
Joe Louis every day in the week, was
in the big town poo-poohing sugges-
tions that Jim Braddock will run out
of his title date with the German on
June in Madison Square Garden S
bowl to meet Louis on June % in Chi
cago.
Title Holder Braddock, apparently
oblivious and unconcerned over
Schmeling's presence, announced he
would pitch camp in Sandy Lake. Wis,
for his bout with Tyouis-not Schmeling.
Relief to Fitzpatrick.
CCHMELING attitude that Brad
dock is fighting me, I'll bet you on
June 8" was relief to John Reed Kill
patrick, president of the Garden. whose
most recent contractual troubles in
volving Max Baer have, as threatened,
reached the courts.
If Braddock isn't" fighting Schme-
ling on June 8, then Max doesn't know
what he'll do. Some fellows, recalling
how Schmeling won the title from
Jack Sharkey, sitting down, suggested
he would claim the crown If Jimmy
takes powder.
NO" said Max, titles are won and
lost in the ring"
Regarding the Anti-Nazi Leagues
boycott, Max said there wouldn't be a
boycott If they thought Braddock
could beat me in two or three rounds. y
Furthermore, he can't sympathize with
Braddock's yen for money.
What about when Max Baer had to
fight Braddock for the title?" asked
Max There wasn't much money in it
for Baer, but he went through with it,
Whether Max will visit the New York
State Athlete Commission this after
noon depends a lot on a conference
with Fitzpatrick, Max's trainer, Max
Macnon, JACOBS, and the Gardens at
torneys.
May Make Baer Think.
MEANTIME, the Garden isn't going
to stop Max Baer and his man
ager, Ancil Hoffman, from sailing on
the S. S. Berengaria today for Eng
land, but the California clouter prob
ably will think twice before he fights
In London on April Is.
The Garden contends Baer has
broken a contract to meet Bob Pastor
on March l9 to accept an offer for two
fights in London.
Fifty thousand dollars suits have
been filed Jointly against Baer and
Hoffman charging violation of the
Gardens contractual rights and
against Alfred c. Critchley and sgd
Hulls, London promoters, for Inter
fering with the same"

positive about not reporting to training
camp. Mr.. Griffith, at an early hour
today, said he didn't give a hoot
whether Buck reported or not. But
the fact remains that Mr.. NewSom, fo-
all of his shortcomings and empty
promises. still is pretty expensive
base ball chattel He would bring a
pretty penny in the market. measuring
the pennies" in terms of talent.
1t doesn't stand to reason that
Griffith, whatever his principles,
will take such a jolt to his ex-
|. chequer as to let Blushing Buck
pIow land in South Carolina.
Your agent somehow believes that
somebody besides Buck will pitch the
opening game for Washington this
year. In fact, he is ready to concede
the Yanks a good chance Of getting
Buck.
In return? Well, how about Gomez?
Sour as Griffith is on Newson, he Is no
more sour than Rupert seems to be
on Gomez. Last year Goofy failed to
deliver, at least according to Yankee
standards. He was cut from $4,000
to the prevailing offer of $ll 500. or
something near that figure. He wants
$4,000 more, according to New York
dispatches, but Rupert, who Is only
the richest man in base ball, cannot
see his way clear to pay the price.
Neither In Camp.
CTINGINESS? Hardly. Rather call
1t matter of principle. Rupper,
won't give in. So far neither will CO.
mez. The upshot Is that Goofy isn't
in training camp
Neither In News0m. Putting
two and two together. the answer
seems 20 he that . trade is log
Ical.

nem dictates that something be done
And orin and good business ere

Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
ORLANDO. Fla, March 3.-The
dubious distinction of being
the first casualty of the Washing
ton ball clubs training season has
fallen TO Pitcher Dick Lanahan.
The young left-hander, graduate
Of the sand lots and scholastic
ranks of Washington, leaped high
into the air for a line drive in a
pepper game" yesterday and one
foot landed in hole in the ground.
HIS left ankle twisted sharply, and
Lanahan sank to the ground,
Writhing in pain. He finally was
assisted TO the club house, where
Trainer Mike Martin diagnosed
the injury as sprain.
Lanahan expected TO be out for
practice again today. but the
chances were that Dick won't do
his daily -four times around the
park" at the end of the days
workout.

No Special Campaign.

RRADDOCK said he had read the
magazine articles in which Max
Schmeling detailed how he beat the
Brown Bomber, but he's not mapping
out any special campaign for his fight.
He'll just fight as he goes along.
He thinks Louis is a sucker not
only for a right, as Schmeling found,
but for any punch.
"All he knows is to hit Braddock
observed. HE doesn't protect him
self"
The champion will spend a couple
OF weeks swimming and soaking up
the sunshine and then go up to the
Wisconsin woods for six weeks Of hard
training
He said he had little to do to get
into fighting trim, and he looked it.

Do YankS Want Him?

THE cross questioning went on and
on, but it didn't make any more
sense than what appears above. In
the end Griffith admitted that Mickey
Cochrane of Detroit still was nibbling al
the hook. Mickey said he was coming to
Orlando to play game of golf with
me and talk things over,' confessed
Griff, but I see by the paper that
he went to Miami. I guess, then, that
he isn't so anxious"
Your agent, turning to other
potential sources Of informa-
tiOn on the Newsom VS.. Wash
ingt0n club case, discovered
that MIR. Griffith's remarks
didn't jbe with other COM
ments and opinions.
The club that is dickering for New
som, it's said, is not Detroit. It's none
other than the Yankees. 1t seems that
Lefty GomY, at this writing, still is
unsigned and Jake Rupert is becom-
ing a trifle worried.

AIRSHIP RECORD NOT IMPRESSIVE

Again the world is shocked by terrible ar disaster. The great German zeppelin Hndenourg has crashed in flames while attempting to come to a mooring at Lakehurst NJ. after stormy crossing the Atlantic Many of the 100 passengers and crew who were aboard are dead and others badly burned. It is evident that the ultimate death toll will be large Cause of the disaster probably will be defn- itely established.
 Safe as air travel by airplane has become there is mounting evidence that the larger airshps are faI from reaching safe and successful operation In this country have lost the Shenandoah, the Macon and the Akron zeppelns have crashed in other coun- tries. Millions of dollars which the great ships cost and countless lives have been lost in effort to develop this mode of air transportation And the result is not favorable
 It may be that engineers will in time perfect them to the point where they safe the aver age arpane But in the meantime it would appear that if the millions spent in constructing these great ships were expended toward establishing air lines and developing further the smaller safer and faster airplane with which we all familiar humanity would be better served.

 MT Dmond makes very pertinent point that an adequately defended Alaska will serve as our best protection against enemy attack upon contnen- tai United States but that an undefended Alaska represents invitation to enemy to seize it and make it base for operations against the United States He reminds that it is only TAT miles. few hours flying time from Ketchkan Alaska. to Seattle
