Jews’ Attack on Big Fight Grows : Tilden Ranks Amateur Racketers — < | Catholics, Protestants Band | Braddock, Schmeling. BY EDDIE BRIETZ. EW YORK, January 9 (#).—The N dock-Max Schmeling heavy- weight championship fight picked up momentum today. United States, 250,000 strong, threw their support to the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League, the A. F. of L. and ganizations seeking to stop the fight from being held in this country. Harry H. Schaffer, commander-in- here he is notifying the 150 posts throughout the country to withhold support from the fight. Anti-Nazi League as part of its pro- gram to oppose German goods, ship- ping and services. are members of the league. Samuel Untermyer, New York lawyer, is presi- dent. James W.

Battle Seen Doomed. LTHOUGH Madison Square Gar- den and the 20th Century Sporting Club, joint promoters of the fight, con- tinued to withhold comment, belief was general along Broadway that the battle 18 doomed. Reports that it may be taken to Chicago or some other city were dis- counted following the league's state- | ment that the boycott is general and | can be made just as effective in| Chicago as in New York. ““‘We are going to ruin this fight from & financial point of view,” said S. Wil- liam Kalb, head of the league’s re- search department, who is directing | the boycott. “And we can do it.” The league notified Madison Square Garden of its intentions and also asked the New York State Athletic Commis- | rise up and smack the leather i n the other direction. sion to reseind its approval of the fight in “the interests of humanity and democracy.” In a letter to Col. John Reed Kil- patrick, Garden president, J. George' Fredman, member of the league's exe- cutive committee, asked the Garden to discontinue plans for the fight.

Joe Gould, manager of Braddock, reiterated his statement that if the boycott goes into effect he will not permit Braddock to fight the Germaaq. Gould Gets Timid. “MY JOB is to make money for Jim,” he said. “We can't do 1. under conditions like that.” Some fight men profess to believe the boycott is just to Gould's liking. He and Braddock never have been keen to fight Schmeling because neith- er believed the fight would draw much of a gate. But if a Schmeling fight is definitely out of the question, the New York State Athletic Commission may des- ! ignate Joe Louis the No. 1 challenger and pave the way for a meeting be- tween the Negro and Braddock and a possible million-dollar gate. Meanwhile preparations to get the ban off to a flying start went on apace | at league headquarters here. Printing presses turned out thou- sands of circulars calling on fans to stay away from the fight. Dr. Kalb and his associates made arrangements to buy radio time, newspaper adver- tising and discussed other methods of publicizing the boycott. Not Sporting, Says Schmeling. BERLIN, January 9 (#).—Appeals to American fair play came from Max Schmeling today when news of | a movement to boycott the forthcom- ing heavyweight championship fignt between Schmeling and Jimmy Brad- dock reached Germany. “I believe the American public is too fair to be influenced by a political campaign against a sportsman like me, | who never went Bchmeling said. in for politics,” While the Teuton boxer confidently | put the decision up to the American public, German papers universally greeted news of the boycott with in- dignation. “Schmeling Heckled in Unbelievable Way by U. S. A. Jews” was the way the newspaper Angriff headlined its front page. Angriff likewise ridiculed assertions that Schmeling would be made honorary leader of the German youth movement by Chancellor Hitler in the event he defeated Braddock and regained the heavyweight champion- ship. “Crazy, Malicious Boycott.” ANGRD’"F termed the boycott move- ment “crazy and malicious.” The paper, although pointing to the possi- bility that the fight might be called off, also stressed that the boycott might, in the end, simply create excel- Jent ballyhoo for the match. The newspaper Nachtausgabe called the boycott an “evil-minded attempt to blackmail the promoters” and saw it an effort to sidetrack Schmeling in favor of a match between Braddock and Joe Louis, the Negro whom Schmeling knocked out in such sensa- tional fashion last Summer. ““We cannot assume,” said the Tage- blatt, “that the Americans will deny the traditions of fairness and chival- rous treatment of competitors which are common to all Anglo-Saxon na- tions.” —_— ‘Y’ VOLLEYERS SCORE Take Measure of Harrisburg, Camden in Games. ‘Washington Y.

McNeeley's name on the list of Nationals who will be carried South this Spring was placed only ten- tatively and it is understood that Grifith and Manager Bucky Harris will go into a conference this week to determine Earl's status.

Now at the top of the heap by virtue of its victory over the championship Sun Radio eleven last Sunday, Heu- rich’s Brewers meet the third-place German Sport Club on Monument Pield No. 2 at 3 o'clock. Sun Radio, seeking to regain the lead, faces a hard task against Marlboro at Marlboro, where the home team has not been de- feated this season. A victory for the host eleven would place it only half a game behind their rivals of the after- noon. Two other games are scheduled among the lower teams of the loop, George's Radio meeting the Democrats at Monument Field No. 1 at 3 o'clock and Silver Spring entertaining the Italian-Americans at Silver Spring at the same time. Soccer officials announced yesterday that Park View School's eleven has ‘won the championship of the western division, with Burroughs and Green- leaf currently tied for the eastern title.

His play at Wimbledon, where he reached the semi-final round, and extended Perry to four bitter sets after defeating Quist again, and then when he scored notable vice tories over Perry and Austin in the team match against England, was clie maxed by his reaching the final round of the American championship and carrying Perry to a terrific five-set match in which the young American was within two points of victory. Adrian Quist takes the fourth po- ‘s:!ion over Austin by virtue of his defeating the English player in the critical match of the challenge round of the Davis Cup. Crawford Placed Sixth. FROM the fifth position down there is a distinct gap and the place= ment is very difficult I am giving Jack Crawford the sixth position by virtue of his have ing reached the semifinals at Wim- bledon, and his play in the Davis Cup, which aided Australia to reach the challenge round Closely following his teammate, Vivian McGrath, placed at No. 7 over Henkel of Ger- many on the result of their meeting in the interzone final of the Davis Cup, when McGrath won in four sets, I am giving Grant eighth position over Henkel for the same reason of | direct competition, since Grant de- feated Henkel at Wimbledon. Grant, | in reaching the semifinal round of the | United States championship, offset a rather disastrous American season and is entitled to his position at No. 8 in the world's ranking. Heiner Henkel of Germany clearly is the ninth man on the list, due to his close match with Grant at Wimble- don, and his splendid play in the | Davis Cup. The tenth position rests between Pallada of Jugoslavia and Frank Parker of the United States. I am giving the Jugoslavian the preference due to his remarkably fine play in the Davis Cup, particularly against France, where he defeated both the French singles stars. | (Copyright. 1937.
