The gentlemen in the war depart.
ment have given the green light
10 one last world heavyweight title
fight in the U. s. A, for the COM
bined benefit of home morale anc
army emergency relief - return
bout between champion Joe Louis
and challenger Billy Conn. But
regardless of the winner, the next
heavy title fight will be staged in
northern Ireland, IN France - or
even in Germany-for the benefit
Of our overseas army.
When the war department an
nounced that Corporal Joe Louis
would defend his laurels against
Private Billy Conn at Yankee Stad-
ium on the afternoon of Columbus
Day. Oct. y. Promoter Mike Jacobs
said:
They have selected me to put
over this fight. I hope it's sue
cessful, because in mid-October I
join the war department. as a
civilian consultant and will fly 10
another front TO stage the next
heavy title bout"
GIVE UP FIGHTS?
Does this mean that Uncle Mike
will give up his fistic promotions
in New York?
No" Jacobs said, my organi-
zation in New York will continue
TO stage bouts as long as it can
get fighters, bat I may be on any
Of the II fronts that President
Roosevelt has mentioned. There
fore, I'm confident that the first
heavyweight title bout-with either
Louis or Conn as the defending
champion-will be staged in north
ern Ireland"
Jacobs, with the greatest promo
tional triumph of his career tossed
into his lap by the army, is point
ing toward northern Ireland. He
estimates that the Lcuis-Conn re-
turn match at Yankee Stadium will
gross about $l.2OO.0OO. with 1900

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

as he contemplates his overseas
! future.
Uncle Mike says the army placed
the Louis-Conn bout at Yankee
Stadium in the hands of a COM
mittee of sports editors of New
York newspapers. That committee
asked him to assist in staging the
return braWl, in which no one will
make money except the army emer-
gency relief. Naturally, he'll help
the sports committee to run the
show, and he'll try to put it over
so that it may go down in history
as his greatest promotion.
GET NO MONEY
The war departments sanction of
this bout will probably give about
100000 to army emergency relief
and not a cent to either Louis,
Conn or Jacobs. Uncle Mike is
eXultant because SO many persons
lin the know" told him that it
never could be staged.
Jacobs explains:
What happens to me after this
bout, l don't care. I realized that
here was one OF the greatest
chances for building up a quick re-
lief fund in our whole scheme of
living. Certainly I wanted TO have
a hand in its promotion, but if the
committee of editors hadn't picked
me, / would have withdrawn TO my
home in Red Bank, N. J-com-
pletely heartbroken 1t would have
been the worst kick in the teeth
ever got, and I've got plenty. But,
fortunately, the neWspapermen
picked me to put it over. And
I'm very thankful"
Jacobs announced Immediately
that prices for the afternoon battle
would range between SO and $40
the first time that tickets have
been scaled to $40 since the second
Louis-Schmeling bout in 80 Too,
it will be the first time that a
heavyweight title tilt has been
staged in the afternoon since Jack
Dempsey retained his title against
Tommy Gibbons at Shelby, Mont,
July 4, 1928.
