Whatever the actual time of
Germany's end there remains a
war in the Pacific which needs

attention and power of our

Japan is gradually assuming the
position of greatest Importance.
Big victories, constant fighting
and heavy casualties will con-
tinue to focus the public's atten-
ton on the European front but
the hope of final peace rests
with the date of Japanese COL

BY JACK CUDDY 1 United Press Staff C0rreSnOnden


 New York, Dec. 18-(UP)-Pro- moter Mike Jacobs disclosed today that he hopes to stage an interna- tional championship fight in Paris as soon as possible after the Flu ropean phase of the war ends, pre- ferably with Sgt. Joe Louis efend- ing his heavy eight crown against foreign challenger.
 He is planning the French fracas for two purposes: CD To relieve the monotony for Americanp service men remaining in Euroe after hos tilities cease; and (2) to stimulate boxing interest in European coun- tries, so that they will begin pro- .ducing contenders who can come to the United States and lend inter- national umph to Mikes shows.
 Likes To Travel
 Intimates believe there is another potent reason for Mikes Paris pro- ject. The squire of Rumson is 8 guy who loves to travel in the grand manner, accompanied by bevy o1 sports writers. He enjoys the whoop-tee-doo of arriving in g strange city with his cavalcade o1 clout chroniclers. The war has pre- vented these migrations of maui; and the king of cauliflower canyon is ready to break out with an ex- cursion that will knock hats off.
 "I'd rather ut the fight on in Paris than in London Jacobs ex- lained, because I think more ot our boys could see it in Paris, and because I believe we would get bet ter co-oeration from French TO- motors than from the British. I'm willing to work with the local pro- motors; but it'll be distinctly under stood that I'm running the show. Besides, I'm pretty sure the French government would welcome it with open arms.
 I've talked with people who know Paris; and they say there's sta dium there-with some, French name-that could seat about 40,00C for a fight. That would be alright

We wouldn't try to make a lot of money out of it; probably give a big cut to some war cause. The financial end would take care of it. self, what with movie rights, an in- ternational radio hook-up, and tele- vision rights to Great Britain where televiSion is far ahead of us.'
 Jacobs said Louis would be one of the principals if the heavyweight champion were out of the army then. or if he could get a furlough for the brawl. Otherwise some oth- CT champ, or a prominent perfor- mer like Welterweight Ray Robin son, could be used. He hadn't thought much about a foreign op- nent yet; but he understood that Freddie Mills or Jack London of England could provide suitable op- position for Louis.
 Wake U
 He concluded, "the publicity big Paris fight would receive would help boxing lot in Europe. It would get European youngsters in- terested in boxing and thinking about the money they could make out of it in the boom days ahead. It would wake up European pro- motors, and they would reopen fight clubs where talent is devel- oped. All this would indirectly help the 20th Century Club, because the rise of good foreign fighters and their importation to this country would add color and international flavor to our shows"

Red Doty vs. Bennett Hartford HeodIiner

Hartford, Dec. 18-Club- fighters noted for their briStling battle in- clinations in the ring tangle tonight (Tuesday night) when George (Red) Doty meets Joe Bennett of New York in the ten-round star bout at the auditorium.
 Doty, local welterweight, has been after a match with the hard-hit- ting former Golden Gloves cham pion for year. The fiery red headed scrapper has scored three knockouts in winning four of five fights at the auditorium in recent weeks. He knocked out Leroy Saunders in two heats, Billy White in six, Tom Collins of New Haven in two, and decisioned a Sidney Miller he had previously kayoed.
 Both are hard hitters, packing knockout wallops in their right mitts. One of the best bouts of the season is in prospect, and the Hart ford Boxing Club is prepared to handle a larger crowd than usual.
 Jackie Connors, rugged New York lightweight, faces Patsy Giordano of Toronto, who has won Il of 12 bouts, in the semi-final eight. Bob- by Polowitzer of East Hartford and Richard Leon of New York, feath- erweights who battled away for all they were worth in the best under card bout last week, have been re- matched in one of two sixes. The other pairs Tony Petro of Boston and Bob Giles of New York. A four-rounder completes the hill.

 III Teams In 1945

New York; Dec. 18.-(UP)-Of- ficials and club owners of the Na- tional Football League met today to discuss plans for next years op- eration. <
 Considerable work will have to be done by the schedule committee to produce schedule for an Il team circuit. The Pittsburgh Steelers be- came the odd team when they an- nounced that they would operate as an individual club next year. This season they merged with the Chicago Cardinals, making 10 teams in the loop. Basebali's edict that their parks could not be rented to football clubs until the end of the home season also presents. a slight headache for the schedule makers.
