Mike Jacobs Is Sitting Firmly in Saddle in Pugilistic Maneuvers VACHTSEN TR BOUND T0 PROFTT INWAR OF BARONS Manages Louis, Schmeling, Has Option on Braddock if He Beats Joe. {¥his is one of a series of stories on the inside workings of the boz- ing dusiness, with special refer- ence to the current heavyweight acramble.) BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, March 12—They're all trying to grab the brass ring on the heavyweight merry-go-round at this writ- They Have Some Wrestling as | ing, with Chicago, Berlin and New | York rating contending positions in that order. One of the few identifiable facts is that the old collar-and-cuff man, Michael Strauss Jacobs, has the mext heavyweight champion of the world in his grasp. Even if the unexpected happens, and—as Madison Square Garden's John Reed Kilpatrick insists—Cham- pion Jim Braddock is kept from fight= ing Joe Louis in Chicago and forced to meet Max Schmeling either in New York or Berlin this Summer, Mike Jacobs still will hold the strings. “Uncle Mike” has Louis and Schmel- ing both under contract. He has an option on Braddock's services if the champion beats Louis at Chicago. He ean't lose. ‘The Garden’s one and apparently remote chance of keeping any strings | &t all on the title situation is to force Braddock to go through with the con- tract to fight Schmeling here on June | 8. This the champion has not the slightest intention of doing, regard- less of persuasion, pressure or legal gestures. Alliance Is Seen. LONG Cauliflower Alley you can | hear talk (a) that all this shadow boxing is preliminary to a “deal” be- tween Jacobs and the Garden, here- tofore long-time allies in the ticket business; (b) that each side is fearful the other will blow the lid off certain fistic practices, past or present, and (c) that the Garden seriously is con- sidering “washing its hands” of the entire box-fighting business in disgust or disillusionment. All direct evidence, however, indi- cates both the Garden and the Twentieth Century Sporting Club, which is another name for Mike Jacobs. Inc, intend to remain in the fistic field. They probably prefer to be friendly rivals, for a number of gound business reasons. But if nec- essary, both are prepared for a finish fight. The Garden has survived inter- mittent splurges of opposition. The current Garden matchmaker, Jimmy Johniston, once was so annoying as a rival promoter that he fihally was taken into the fold. Jacobs, for 15 years, was associated closely with Tex Rikard. Objected to Johnston. 'A BOUT a year ago Jacobs turned down the second of two propo- eitions to pool his fistic interests with the Garden’s. It was understood that one stipulation, which Jacobs rejected, was that Johnston must remain as matchmaker. It is no secret that a ehronic feud exists betweer these two operatives. The origin of the Twentieth Century Sporting Club was due partly to finan- cial differences between the Garden and representatives of the Free Milk Fund for Babies, Inc., of which Mrs. William Randolph Hearst is chairman. Laverne Baxzter is shown here as he slaps Jack Hader after flooring him at Turner's Arena Previously, however, Baxter put on his real act by tearing the shirt off Referee Benny last night. Bortnick. BAXTER S RUGGED PLAYMATE ONNAT Knocks Out Hader, Referee With Kicks to Middle in Wrestling Bout. ACK HADER pulled Laverne Baxter's feet to get his foe out of his corner in order to start last night's wrestling headliner at Turner’s Arena, but in the end it was Baxter’s feet, working under their own volition, that spelled the downfall of Mr. Hader. Half out of the ring and apparently | headed for defeat, Baxter changed the entire complexion of the bout with a well-timed boot, which deposited his foe into the midsection of Referee Benny Bortnick. Hader was com- pletely kicked “out” by Baxter, but he had nothing on Bortnick, who was down for several minutes after acting as the receiving basket for Hader's head. Bortnick, however, recovered long before Hader, who was counted out by the half-groggy official. Baxter in Mean Mood. THE crowd got its money's wnrth' | in the main bout, which started with Baxter's challenge of a local radio commentator at the ringside, continued with the winner’s early rubbing of & knee bandage across his opponent’s face, and reached a pre- climax when Baxter ripped Bort- | nick’s undershirt off after the referee thought he had frustrated what he suspected was coming by removing | his outer shirt. | Gus Sonnenberg, former world champion, has not grown too old to | use his famous fiying tackle, which | stopped Floyd Marshall after 1612 | minutes of a preliminary, while Ed Meske took a decision in 27 minutes from Wee Willie Davis, who was dis- | qualified three minutes befo-: the end This split led to an alliance between | Of their scheduled 30-minute bout. the Hearst charity sponsors and Jacobs. Jacobs has an agreement to promote two milk fund shows a year. Otherwise, the Twentieth Century 8. C., says Mike, consists exclusively of Jacobs, Jacobs and Jacobs. For window-dressing purposes, at first, Willlam F. Carey, who succeeded Rick- ard as directing head of Madison Bquare Garden, was named president .of the club. Carey subsequently with- drew and now is sanitation commis- sloner of New York.

In addition | to the “big three” in the current| tangle, Max Baer's comeback now is| slated to be conducted under the Twentleth Century banner.

It is curious to note, incidentally, that the biggest money bout of all| time, the second Dempsey-Tunney fight at Chicago, produced one of the | smallest percentages of profit for!

THE EVENING GRUELING District League pennant fight found Occi- dental Restaurant holding first place today on pinfall, while one of its star members, Bill Krauss, again had shot his way to the front of the all-star circuit with | an average of 124-14. Paced by Krauss’ 401, his sixth 400 in the loop this season, Occidental Restaurant handily swept its match with Georgetown Recreation. The champion Heurich Brewers dropped the middle skirmish to Lucky Strike, 652 to 673. Ed Blakeney and his charges came back with 679 to smother the Luckies, but the damage had been done, costing the Brewers undisputed possession of the top rung which they gained last week. Paul Jarman, rolling his fourth 400 set in five weeks, was the big gun in the Heurich two-game win. Bill Clampitt with 379 and Sam Simon with 378 put in some healthy punches. Howard Parsons was top shooter for the Luckies with 158 and 401.

He now is starting his fifth year in the American League. Lou has some ideas of his own on umpiring. “In the first place,” he explains, “T make it a habit never to read local papers. I mean, when I'm in New York, I'll read Chicago or Washington papers, but never a New York paper. “The reason is simple. At least it seems so to me. Occasionally I've made decisions the press has ridiculed in print. Now, no matter how good a that piece might be, I'd have to get mad at him. So I lost a lot of friends and a lot of temper.

In my four years in the majors, I've found that ball pilayers can get under my skin. They're nice fellows, I guess, but they cannot stang to be crossed. This year, though, I'm going to show you some umpiring. I'm not going to lose my head, I'll take an oath on that.” Kolls borrows a Washington umi- form for practice, but he retains one touch of the umpire about him. He Wwears an umpire's hat, and this he re- moved to wipe away the rivulets of ?ursmmion that was coming down his ace. “I'll never forget my debut in the American League. Ruth and Gehrig ‘were going great guns for the Yankees, but I made a decision at first base during a series that Gehrig didn’t like. He got on me. Then I called a third strike on Ruth. “You blankety-blank busher,” said the Babe. “It’s broken-down minor leaguers like you who are ruining base ball. I've got a mind to wrap this bat around your ugly puss.” “Listen you washed-up tramp,” I told him. “You used to be my idol.- To me you were big stuff. Now I know you as you are—a no account.

Anchorman John Chaney's double-header strike in the last frame decided the first skirmish, while Charley Groff's 154 and Fran- cis Farmer's 355 were big items in the sweep.

'‘HE Big Ten tussling, beginning with trials today, finds Indiana's | iron men, Don Lash, Tommy Deckard anl Jimmy Smith, going out for both the mile and 2-mile. Charles Fenske of Wisconsin is a big gun in the mile, | while Neree Alix of Chicago and Bill | Staehle of Michigan are rated highly in the 2-mile, although that event generally is regarded as the personal property of Hoosiers Lash and Deck- ard. In addition to the renewal of the San Romani-Cunningham clash at a mile, the Toronto meet offers several others of the United States’ top per- formers. Toronto's Sam Richardson, who is U. S. A. A. U. broad jump champion, will take on Temple Uni- | versity's Eulace Peacock, sprinter and | jumper, in both his specialties. New | York's Jim Herbert, the year’s “find” at distances from 500 yards to three- | fourths of a mile, is favored in an | international field at 600 yards. Olym- | pic Champion Cornelius Johnson of Los Angeles and Al Threadgill of Tem- ple battle in the high jump. CAPITAL “Y” IS VICTOR Special Dispatch to The Star. 'hil /. —— | Livingstons, Odds-layers were quoting anywhere from 8 to 5 to 2 to 1 today on the California Negro, who won recogni- | tion in his home State and several other territories as featherweight | champion when he whipped Belloise in Los Angeles last October. The bout promises to be nearly as entertaining a spectacle as the classic Enrico Venturi and Pedro Montanez put on a couple of weeks ago. Both Armstrong and the New Yorker are busy little fellows, each packing a knockout punch and a lot of speed. - . GRID COACH IS KILLED. CHICAGO, March 12 (#).—John J.
