The youthful German with the fea- tures of a young Jack Dempsey sailed into Brooklyn late Tuesday night on the liner Europa, accompanied by his trainer, Max Machon, a dozen pieces of baggage and a cute little dachs- hund named Cecilie, third in the line of Teuton dogdom aristocracy that is rapidly becoming the favorite pet of the New York box fight writers fra- ternity. Max appeared to be in splendid physical condition, eager to get to work on preparations for his title battle in June with young Bill Strib- ling, Georiga’s challenger for the {heavyweight crown. He was anxious to explain that, regardless of state- ments in the papers, he has never ‘made derogatory remarks regé@rding either the New York state athletic commission which recently stripped ‘him of his title, or the German box-| ing federation with which he has been titling. Over and over again he insisted that he wants to fight Jack Sharkey, feels sure that eventually he will face the Boston sailor in a prize-ring, but for the present: ‘Jacobs Is Manager 2 “Cho Yackobs iss mine manager. I am der fighter. He manages, I fights. ‘Wass he’says, goes.” Sharkey has no one to blame but himself, Max insisted, for the mud- died state of affairs that envelops the heavyweights today, a situation wherein Sharkey, loser on a foul to Schmeling here last June, is recog- nized in New York state as the out- standing challenger while the Na- tional Boxing association, controlling boxing in 27 states, believes that Strib- ling alone, is entitled to a title shot. “While Stribling knocks out Phil Scott and Otto von Porat since-last I am here,” Schmeling argued, “What has Sharkey done? Nossing. Sharkey should have fought as Stribling did. I cannot ignore Stribling’s record. If I don’t fight him the N. B. A. sus- pends me. If I don't fight Sharkey New York suspends me. ‘Will Fight Sharkey “Someday I will fight Sharkey again I will whip him. I know that I would have beat him last Jun« if he did not foul me in the fourth round. I am not entirely recovered from that punch until last October. In the third round I take all he has and they could not even give me smelling salts after the bell, In the fourth I run out,, Sharkey sees me coming. He is a changed man. feel him weaken. He fouls me. “Ach, what can I do. I know that if I had fouled Sharkey instead o! him fouling me I would not be given another chance at him.” , Schmeling said that he had only seen Stribling fight orte, back in 1928, Bowman Quint Has String of 7 Victories Officials Make Plans for Sev- enth District Basketball Tournament Bowman, N. D., Jan. 28—Bowman high school cagers have been unde- feated this season, according to Emil Dietrich, Bowman superintendent of schools, In their pre-tournament games s0 far this year Bowman has triumphed over Scranton 16-12, rolled over defeated Rhame 16-6 at Bowman and 23-7 at Rhame, trimmed Marmarth 35-28, walloped Benes 39-10, and defeated Bucyrus 1-11. Before tournament play the Bow- man squad will meet Marmarth, Bak- er, Mont., New England, Scranton, and probably Mott. Bowman is included in the seventh district in state basketball circles. ‘The seventh district in addition to Bowman includes the Milwaukee sub-district composed of Marmarth, Rhame, Bowman, Scranton, Bucyrus, Reeder, Haynes and Hettinger; and the Mott sub-district which includes Flasher, Elgin, Carson, Mott, New England, New Leipzig and Regent. Play in the Milwaukee sub-district tourney will be held at Hettinger while the Mott sub-district tourney will be held in Mott. Each sub-dis- trict tourney will be held on March 13-14. The winners of the two sub- district tourneys will meet in Mott March 17. The seventh district win- ner will meet the winner of district eight at Dickinson March 20 or 21. The seventh district tourney is in charge of Superintendents Legault of Hettinger, French of Marmarth, Pierce of Flasher, Browning of Mott, and Dietrich of Bowman.

Heading the list in this respect are the Swanky Wakonda club, of Des | Moines, with one of the sportiest 18- {hole layouts in the middlewest; the | White Bear Yacht club, of St. Paul, | Which, although located on the shore | of White Bear lake, found it neces- | sary to put in a sprinkling system for its fairways, and the Columbus, O., | Country Club. Wakonda spent $25,000 ‘on its system, White Bear Yacht $11,- 500 and Columbus county estimates its system will cost $30,000. Minnesota in general had a good | year in golf, with play on public and private courses an estimated 20 per cent above 1929 and with plans for course improvement in 1931 calling for a total outlay of more than $250,000. North Dakota golfers will spend more than $100,000 in course improvement, Iowa at least that much, and probably considerably more, Michigan and Kansas, reports to the Associated Press and the United States Golf association indicate, will do little course building or improving this year. Most observers agree these two states were overbuilt in the two or three years preceding 1930 and the demand is just catching up with the supply. Every state, however, reported a large increase in play last year, ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. Heading the list of new courses either planned or underway is the 18-hole layout at the University of Qlinois, paid for from football re- ceipts. Among other cities where Projects also are underway are: Ra- cine, Wis. Grand Forks, N. D., Du- luth, Minn, and Wausau, Wis. Augsburg-Cobber Game Conditions Scored by Melby Cy Melby Lists Faults in Ex- plaining Why He Canceled Moorhead Ped Tilt Minneapolis, Jan. 28.—(#)—Cy Mel- by, basketball coach at Augsburg col- lege, said Wednesday he has mailed @ letter to Alex Nemzek, athletic di- rector at Moorhead State Teachers college outlining his reasons for can- teling the game with the Peds Mon- day night and listing “deplorable playing conditions” in the Concordia game. The Aggie coach said it would not be profitabie to either team if the teacher college.game was played and that Augsburg had a hard game be- fore it Friday night with Gustavus Adolphus college, St. Peter. In the letter, Melby said the offi- ciating at the Concordia game, which Augsburg iost 42 to 25 last Saturday, ‘was the worst he has ever seen. He also said: That Augsburg players were put in @ room as cold as an ice box be- tween halves and when he asked for @ new room he was told he could not have another. ‘The Augsburg players were forced to go on the floor between halves and that he did not have a chance to talk to them. A clown band used the playing floor until the whistle starting the second half, thus preventing Augsburg from warming up. A radio announcer stood behind the Augsburg bench and repeatedly yelled misinformation over the radio and the Augsburg players had to cor- rect him. | The Augsburg bench was so crowd- ed the players had to sit on the floor.
