Back in the days Of Richard
fighting was a racket. Not that
Tex was crooked. But the game
had an aura about it which was

bouts? After all, Baer-Louis and
LOuiS-SimOn mean and have
meant money in the bank. And
gelt is what a fight promoter
needs, for comes a bad bout and
the promoter may find himself
outside looking in.
Jacobs has always refused to
deal with gangsters. He has liv-
ed up to his contracts. He has
made boxing respectable. He has
lured society women to watch
fights. He has taken to heart his
charity fights. When he has Of
fered a bout for charity, the
money has gone to charity-not
to expenses incurred" In a
word, Mike is honest. And he has
keen sense of public smell. He
knows what kinds of fights the
public wants. And he has given
'em those blood-curdling conflicts.
Most of all, Mike is tolerant. He
gave Joe Louis, Negro, chance
to make good in the Big City.
That means lot to a fighter. You
can run along the hannah egg
Cor should we call it borscht p
circuit and die unknown. But a
fight in New York's Garden-and
you're made. If you're good.
The fear of a Negro fighter forg-
ing his way to the front didn't
bother Mike.
And Louis was grateful. That's
why other promoters grOan at the
Jacobs '1uck." Those same pro-
mOters who arrange contests for
"white champions" with king
like Louis around. They don't
understand that to run sports
you've got to be one too.
Mike was in the headlines again,
but way down in the sub-heads.
1t was the Louis-Simon fight on
March 9th, with hardly a word
about Mike. His ideas, his fight
ers, his Garden and his years of
experience have gone into the sue
cessful Louis fights. Now he's do

GREENBERG AND WILLIAMS
This isn't a story about Hank
Greenberg, who gave up a $685.
OOO-a-year baseball contract in
order to do his job in the U. S.
Army. Neither is it a cOndemna-
tory item about Ted Williams,
great Boston Red SOx sIugger
(1941 batting avarege: .4O6), who
pleaded he needed a ga classified
tiOn-and got it-because his
mother needed his support. Ted
signed a contract for $4,000, a
tidy sum. He made $4,000 last
year. Rather it is a tale which
points out wildly that Green
berg, Jew, is-by wartime
standards-an outstanding patriot.
And Williams is just another
American lad who would rather
go along as usual, playing Major
League ball, instead of joining
Greenberg, Bobby Teller and Hugh
Mulcahy and the Is Washington
Senators in the service. of Uncle
Sam.
Which brings to mind the story
of Morrie Arnovich, former Nat
ional Lacquer, now in the Army.
Morrie was in Ia before the war,
except for his bad teeth, which
put him into 1B. Now, of course,
the Army figures that soldier
must shoot, not bite, the Japs.
So Morrie is in the Army. No
noise, no pickering, no fanfare.
Morrie is in the Army, where he'll
hustle as he did on the diamond.
But the catch is still to come.
