three tournaments are slated in the

York's Madison Square Garden,
it was disclosed today.
The announcement, made here
by Frank (Blinky) Palmero,
Fox's manager, came as a distinct
since Joe Louis had said
last week that Lejnevich might
be his next fgoe in a heavyweight
championhip bout in June.
A defeat for Lesnecich would
all but eliminate him from the
heavyweight picture, while a
victory for Fox would holt the
hard-punching Philadelphia Ne
gro well up among the ranks of
contenders for the heavyweight
title, which Louis said he will va
cate after his next bout.

a return bout with the heavy
weight champion.
Certainly" He conceded,
eve had written agreement
that they would split 3O-30 in a
return fight in the event Wal
colt won the title. It's right here
in my desk. But Walcott didn't
win the decision. Louis did, and

titled to the champions share" ;"
Strauss said he had seen none
Of the Walcott crowd since the
night of the fight II days ago,
when he went to Jersey Joe's
dressing room to congratulate
him on his great showing. All
he knows since then is what he
has read in the papers. He re-

appears to have emerged belate-

"Should I 60 to them with my
hat in my hand?" Sol shouted.
Il say not. If Walcott wants to
fight for the championship again

will have to take 20 per cent,
but he will have to sign a con-
trait to defend the title for the
Goth Century Club in the event
he wins.
