BY JACK CuDDY

New York, October 24. = (UP) = Promoter Mike Jacobs perturbation over heavyweight champion Joe Louis proposed exhibition tour stimulates the belief in cauliflower canyon that the first top-flight heavy who comes along will wrest the title from the" Brown Bomber.
 Louis was tentatively slated to give exhibitions in nine American cities during October and November, but Jacobs has called the whole thing off - with the exception of four rounde rat Flint, Mich, on October 27, and another four-rounded at Richmond, Ind, on October 30.
 Jacobs cancelled the tour because some promoters = like the one at St. Louis = were matching the Bomber with Q fair third-rate opponent and advertising the scrap as for the world title.
 John L. Sullivan may have gone barn-starming about the country, offering to knock cut any so-and-so in the house, but not Joe Louis. who stuns bit too easily when wa!loped in the head. Promoter Jacobs IS ,aking no chances with his precious bit of boxing bric-a-brac, who already earned for Louis and managers more than $1,500,000 under the Jacobs gonfalon.
 Uncle Mike is willing to let Louis risk his crown against anybody Ill the world when the gate promises to be more than $1oO.o0o and when Uncle Mike has . five-year contract on the challenger before said title bout.
 Contract Tie-Up
 Jacobs will have that contract with Arturo Godoy of Chile when Godoy fights Louis for the crown at Madison Square Garden on February 9, and for all future title bouts. He will have it on the next Golden Boy" of the heavyweight division. And who is that Golden Boy" = That gold mine on the hoof, who will lick Louis? That's the ques- ton creating an immediate rift be- tween Jacobs 20th Century Club and 6 large slice of the boxing fraternity.
 Promoter Jacobs and his natch- maker, Johnny Attell, believe that Billy Conn of Pittsburgh, current ligfihe heavyweight king, will suc- csed Louis as heavyweight champ. But most experts along battlers bund insist that Patrick Edward Comiskey will be the next heavy ruler.
 Comisye of Paterson, N. J., who will be 19 years old on Friday, seems to be the hardest punching leather tosser in the ring today.
 Punchers are the lads who pubH- cizad the champions great weakness. Schmeling knocked Joe out in their first meeting; Jim Braddock had him on the floor in the first round; nov ice Jorge Brescia had Lounr out on his feet at the Hoppodrome, and Calento stunned him in the first round and had him on the floor in the third.
 Billy Conn is a fast, smart boxer. Bob Pastor was smart and fast. too. Pastor lasted 10 round by running away in the first Louis meeting, and l he was knocked out in the 1lth in their second when Bob surprised everyone in Detroit by making a fight of 1t.
 That's why most neutral observ- CTS believe that Comiskey - the tall. rangy Irishman with the piano punch = will ultimately take care of Louis. When Pat hits 'em they stay down. It's like the kiss from a Big Bertha. He belted out 20 op- ponents in 22 professional fights He'll be ready for Louis about a year from now.
 Meanwhile you can take fast. stepping Billy Conn, or wait TOT , Comiskey in your choice of the next Golden Boy"
