LOUIS REQUESTS
 SEPTEMBER BOUT
Jacobs Plans Heavy. weight Tournament to
 Determine Opponent

New York, July 25-CUP)-Pro- moter Mike Jacobs announced plans today for heavyweight boxing tournament from October to April to nd the best possible challenger for a June title shot at Joe Louis. Jacobs said that Louis wanted a fight in September, and he expect ed to complete arrangements for it this week. He said extitleholder Maxie Baer was likely" oppon- ent, but that this match would not be made until after he had talked to Louis managers, Julian Black and John Peterborough.
 Mike said that If Louis and Baer did fight this fall and either won impressively, it would be virtually impossible to stage another bout between them. Hence, his only chance Of finding suitable June challenger would be to have an elimination tourney this winter and spring.
 T want, above all," he said, to attract new talent. Good heavies haven't been coming along fast enough lately, and in the prelimin- aries of this tournament we are go- ing to try to bring in unknown boys who look promising from all sec tions of the country. Of course, they'll have to win their way past all the well-known men like Farr. Galento, pastor, Barlund, Strick- land and Adamick."

bE VITO CLAIMS HURLER MEMBER
 OF MINOR LOOP
North Enders Allege That Mound Ace Is Still on
 Rochester Roster

It never rains, but 1t pours, as- serted Ed Fitzpatrick, City Ama- teur Baseball league president, who was recipient of a bundle of mail this morning which was topped by a protest from the North End Thomas Club, the fourth protest filed by league teams this season.
 Manager Johnny Devito of the Tommies, with his trusty pen, claims Johnny Jay, who made his debut by pitching the league-leading Trib- unes to to victory over the Brooklyn A. c. a week ago yester- day, had a contract with Rochester of the International League on that date and had not received his un- conditional release from that club on or before that time.
 Suspension Alleged
 The protest, besides alleging that Jay was under contract to . pro- fessional club on July IT, stated that neither Jay nor the Tribune A. C., applied to City Amateur League officials for admission on his reinstatement. It further alleges that Jay has been suspended from organized baseball.
 This protest, the fourth this sum- mer, will make number three hang ing in the fire. The enc the Brook lyns led against the Tommies for the use of Outfielder Scholz has been withdrawn.
 The protest entered by the Tribes against the Tommies on the same grounds has not been withdrawn as yet. The other protest was entered by the Overlooks against the Wash- ington Hills early in the season, based on the claim that Razor Doran was used by the Hills as a pinch-hitter and batted without full uniform although the league ruling calls for one from each play CT. The Looks allege Doran appeared in that role with only a baseball shirt.
 Looks to Drill
 The Overlooks, managed by Bob Kiersted, will hold an important practice session Wednesday evening at Waterville park at 6 o'clock.
