B—10 Rich Offers Pouring in on Braddock : Ball Yard L ] SPURNS S200000 SCHMELING BOUT Won’t Go to Germany for Title Defense—Planning Exhibitions Abroad. BY TDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 15—Still a bit delirfous over their good | fortune, Jimmy Braddock, new | world heavyweight champion, and Joe Gould, his peppery manager, bustled about today and tried to dis- | cover what the future holds in the | SPORTS. way of good hard dollars. Just to prove he is a big-time fight manager at last, Gould, who swears he hasn't closed his eyes since Brad- | dock won Max Baer's title, turned | down a $200,000 offer to meet Max Schmeling in Germany as coolly as H‘ he were picking up a 50-cent lunch- | eon check. Later he announced he is arrang- | ing to take Jimmy to England and Ireland in August for a series of ex- | hibitions. All day long the offers poured in. They want Braddock’s indorsement | for this and that., They want him on | the stage, on the radio, for fights, ex- | hibitions, for personal appearances and for a thousand and one other | things. $150,000 Year Seen for Jimmy. “I'M STILL in a daze,” said Gould, “and Jimmy can't believe it yet. It looks like a $150,000 year for him even if he doesn’t fight.” The Schmeling offer came from FPred Kirsch, who authorized Jimmy Bronson, his American representative to offer Braddock a fight with the German champion in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin in September. Nothing doing,” Gould told Bron-‘ #on. “We're not defending this title until next Summer, and then it will be in New York for Madison Square Garden. We're under contract to the Garden and couldn’t fight for any other promoters first if we wanted to, which we don't.” England and Ireland are all worked up over the Irishman’s capturing the heavyweight crown and 10 trans-At- lantic telephone calls have been re- ceived from promoters in Dublin, Lon- don and Manchester, England, for per- £0nal appearances. Manchester is the home town of Jimmy's father. | Must Submit Written Offers. “T TOLD them to put their offers in writing.” Gould said. “If they are acceptable we’ll go across in the late Summer or Fall.” The heavyweight champ, sprawled on a divan in his hotel suite, his col- lar open at the neck and his nose in a beaker of beer, was reading some of the hundreds of letters and telegrams he has received. “Here's the one I like the best,” he sald, and read a wire from Mrs. Ernie Schaaf, mother of the Boston heavy- weight who died after a fight with Primo Carnera in 1933. Mrs. Schaaf | now lives in Wrentham, Mass. } “You know, Joe,” he went on, “I| think we ought to slip up there and see her when we've caught up here.” BEFORZ Braddock left to spend the | week-ena with his family in New Jersey he and Gould presented Doc Robb, Braddock's trainer for more than eight years, with two $500 bills. “Cripes,” stammered the good doc. “Cripes. The first time you paid me off it was with a $10 bill.” Meantime, the Baer entourage pre- pared to abandon New York head- quarters and return to Asbury Park, N. J., where the dethroned champ will try to nurse his ailing hands back in shape and train his brother Buddy for the latter's first big-time appearance | in the semi-final to the Carnera-Joe Louis fight, June 25. | BERGER HITS HOMER IN INDIANS’ VICTORY Trainer Overwhelmed.
