CHICAGO MIGHT BE GIVEN HEAVY
 TITLE TUSSLE
Jacobs Seriously COnsid= ering" Soldier Field;
 Low Rent Assured

New York, April g. (UP) - Promoter Mike Jacobs is consider ing Chicago more seriously than ever" as the site for the Louis Schmeling heavyweight title fight On June 9.
 He gave reporters last night four reasons for this:
 CD New violence in New York be- tween Nazis and non-Nazis indicated increasing anti-Nazi sentiment in New York.
 CD Leonard Hicks, manager of the Morrison hotel and chairman of the Chicago Hotel Association, con- ferred with Jacobs yesterday and in- dicated that the promoter could have Soldier Field for an "unexpect- edly low" rental.
 (3) Governor Henry Horner of Illinois, Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago and other Illinois officials and busi- nessmen are working hard to get the bout, while New Workers aside from the boxing commission-are apathetic.
 (4) A new hitch which developed recently and which Jacobs declined to discuss may influence him to take the fight out of New York.
 Louis Must Defend Crown
 Before July
 Rome, April g. - (UP) - Joe Louis must defend his heavyweight title against Max Schmeling before the end of June or have the title declared vacant by the new cham pionship commission of the Inter national Boxing Forum.
 That's what the commission voted last night, after recognizing cham pions in eight divisions.
 Louis is matched to meet Schmel- ing on June g, but should he fail to keep the appointment, the con- mission will vacate his title and name Max Schmeling as the No. l claimant whom other contenders must meet before a new champion is decided.
 The commission recognized as world champions: Louis, heavy weight; John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight; Freddie Steele, mid dleweight; Barney Ross, welter- weight; Lou Ambers, lightweight; Henry Armstrong, featherweight; Sixto Escobar, bantam; and Benny Lynch of Scotland, flyweight.

 New York, April 22-Sandy Herd golf1ng grandfather, made headlines in Britain yesterday by touring the Moor park course in Hertfordshire England, in 67, three strokes under his age. He'll be 70 on Sunday. =. I'd have cracked the course record (65) but for that bloomin' seven at the 16th," he said .

Windy City Hotel Men Bid For Big Fight
RECORD NUMBER
 OF HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL CLUBS
Quigley Has Interesting Report on National
 Game

In sharp contrast to the local high school baseball situation which was nearly plotted out at Crosby this season and will begin for the first time at Leavenworth next season, is the report of Ernie Quigley, nation al league supervisor of umpires who puts the situation in the following manner:
 There is a steep up-curve in schol- astic baseball throughout the coun- try this spring. In every section the national game has taken big jump in number of participants as versus track tennis, and the other vernal sports in vogue on school campuses. Today there are more high school and prep school ball teams in uni- form in the United States than in any previous year.
 At the Radio City desk of Ernest c. Quigley, National League super visor of umpires, this significant trend is more than just an interest ing fact. MT. Quigley's title describes only one phase of his busy schedule during baseball season. When he took charge of things in his National League office last week and began mapping out his work the revival of high school baseball loomed large on his docket.
 Good Enough
 Perhaps it's reflex from the baseball school wave which has swept the country in recent years" MT. Quigley analysed. Baseball has gone in for schools and now it seems that schools have become equally enthusiastic in going in for baseball.
 "There is strong tendency to or ganize entire states into high school baseball tournament groups through the central education systems. In several states the tournament sched- ule is already organized in working form. In most of the others that I have observed and in some cases al- ready contacted, this statewide uni- fication is well on the way.
 "The dStinctiVely new feature is that the governing bodies now recog- nize that baseball must be taught by Well-versed coaches. In the past the weakness of scholastic baseball was right there. The boys tended to lose interest in their school team be- cause their coach was treating base- ball as side-issue. He was usually football star, coaching baseball in the spring to fill out his schedule for the year, no matter how brief his own baseball experience had been."
