NEW YORK, March 16.-It's all
so bewildering to one who has led
a very sheltered life, but it seems
now, according to the respective
statements today of Mike Jacobs
and Joe Gould, that the heavy
weight horizon is definitely NOV
ing eastward to Europe instead
of westward to Chicago, as called
for in the original script.
Mike confirmed the announce
ment this morning of the British
promoter, Gen. A. C. Crichley, that
Joe Louis is to box in London on
July 80 next. Gould did even bet
ter.
Mike stated, for the benefit
hope-of the writer, that he had
haggled the German government
bid up to $3.50, 900, flat, as James
j. Braddock'S guarantee for a
title match with Max Schmeling
in Berlin and that, with $4,000
more, they won't be able to keep
him away with a quarantine. He
didn't realize that the writer al
ready knew where the extra
500, 900, if any, was to come from.
It represents an attempt by the
Schmeling people to sell Brad
docks radio and picture rights
for him in the proposed fight for
that amount sale that will be
consummated shortly, or not at

Ingram Look!
T0Geviins0n

After last night, it begins to
appear that the prize fistic plum
of the year will be the Ray In
gram-Lou Gevinson battle now in
the making.
Last night, IN your Uncle Joe
Turner'S Arena, before TOO fans
who braved a bad snowStorm to at
tend, Ray Ingram literally punched
his way to the forefront Of Wash
ington fight circles by winning
hands down. over highly touted
Johnny DeFoe, three times con-
queror Of Danny London, origi-
nally scheduled as Ingram's oppo-
nent.
London Runs Out
London ran out" on his match
with Ingram and faces suspension
in all States covered by the Ma
tional Boxing Association, which
means As Of the 48 States, the
other three being New York, Penn
Sylvania and California.
Right at the start Of last nights
battle, ingram served definite
notice that he has arrived. In the
first canto he caught Johnny with
terrific left hook to the body
which sent DeFoe Sprawling to
the canvas for a nine count. DeFoe
arose wobbly, but his experience
saved him.
From then to the finish it was
all Ingram, who flashed his best
form to take seven Of the 10
rounds.
Some notion of the Importance
of Migrants victory over DeFoe
may be gained from the fact that
DeFoe held Mike BelloiSe, recog-
nized as featherweight champion
in New York, to a draw.
Disputed Decision
Five months ago, Johnny
dropped a disputed decision to the
Coast sensation, Henry Armstrong,
recent knockout winner over Bel.
loiSe. On New Year Day Of 1886,
DeFoe scored a technical K. O..
over Howard Scott, District light
weight champion.
Bobby Dechter took a unani-
nous decision over Joe TemeS in
an eight-round lightweight semi
final; Jimmy Jones won a split
decision over Bob Turner, in six
rounds, ana Doug Swetnam boxed
to a draw with Joe DeCarlo in
another Six-rounder.

In Ray Clark, the O'Donnells

Standing well over six feet and

You can search far and wide and
you'll find few shortstops who can

is one of the most timely amateur

Stevens is considered the stand
