LONG LAYOFF VIII NOT HURT SCHOIELZNG, SAYS JACOBS
GernnanKeeps
|nTopShdpe,
Says Pilot
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, July 7.-PosSibly
a little upset by the noise and cons
fusion of the recent holiday, Mr..
Joe Jacobs, step-manager for Max
Schmeling, began absently Smok-
ing a roman candle today instead
of the inevitable cigar, with the re-
suit that Promoter Mike Jacobs
and Champion Joe Louis, directly
in the line of flight, were badly
scathed and lacerated. Promoter
Jacobs, he openly charged with de-
laying the Schmeling-Louis heavy
weight championship fight, in the
hope that Schmeling's advancing
years would begin to tell upon him.
Better Condition
But, said he, Schmeling would
be in better condition than Louis,
if, when, provided, and in case
they do meet. Why?
Because" the gentleman re-
Joined swiftly, Louis isn't keep
ing himself in condition and
SchmeIing is. In fact, Schmeling
always is in condition, always
has been. Hes that kind Of a
guy. So was Louis two years ago.
But he's beginning to realize
that there's more to life than
three good meals and a nice
place to sleep under a tree on the
lawn.
Believe me, and l mean it,
the longer they postpone this
fight, the better it'll be for
Schmeling. It's my opinion that.
two years from now, Louis won't
be o fighter at all. He'll be
through"
But what did he mean by say
ing that Promoter Jacobs was try
ing to push the fight as far back
as possible? Hadn't he offered
Schmeling the Louis match in
September, before turning around
and propositioning Tommy Farr,
the Englishnan?
Gives Reasons
It seemed not. In fact:
"They started to give us the
run-around in Chicago at the
Braddock.LOuis fight. That's
why Schmeling jumped over to
London and signed with Farr
for September /. / can also
tell you that Schmeling cabled
an acceptance of Jacobs offer.
No, the whole thing points to a
conscious pOstponement of
Schmeling and Louis until next
June. And, if that's the way
they feel about it, it's all right
with u.s.
The writer might add that, if
they can postpone the rest of the
blather on this situation, it will be
all right with him, too.

Dorsey, under whose management
Tibbett will appear as the ninth and
penultimate attraction of Mrs. Dor
sey's 1867 series of Sunday afternoon
concerts and recitals at Constitution
Hail. There will be no change in pro-
gram.
In making this announcement, Mrs.
Dorsey said that Mr.. Tibbett, accom-
panied by Mrs. Tibbett, Stewart Willie,
his accompanist, and John Evans, his
managerial representative, arrived in
Washington last Saturday evening
shortly after o'clock, and went direct
to the Mayflower, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Tibbett completed arrangements by
telephone with Washington and Vir-
ginia friends who were to be Mrs. Tib-
belts guests at box party at Con-
stitution Hall the next day.
WHN Mr. Tibbett arose on Sunday
morning, he complained Of =
tightness in his throat, and by noon 1t
had been necessary to call in an o.
teopath in an effort to loosen his
throat muscles by massage. Heroic
treatment, however brought no relief.
and by 3 O'Clock, one hour before con-
cert time, it was apparent no per-
formance could be given, and an agree
ment was reached on the spot to have
Tibbett return to Washington on Sat-
urday, April 3, and sing at that time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tibhett, with Mr..
Willie and Mr.. Evans, Immediately
caught the first train for New York
in order to enable Tibbett to cons 1t
his own physician and take steps to
prepare himself for another important
concert the following Wednesday.
Although Mr. Tibbett has been appear
ing in Washington for approximately
decade, last Sundays performance
was the first he has ever had to post
pone in Washington and the occur
renee was a source OF the deepest re-
gret to the singer.
