SCHMEUNGTO ATTEMPT PEACE New York. May 6 (U.P) This Is the day when. Maxie Schmtding and the New York Boxing Commission ' kiss and make up. While the kiss may be optional, the making up Is es-ent|al, or there won't he any million dollar • fight June 12 with Jack Sharkey as the German's opponent ami the heavyweight championship of the rnrld at stake. ( Barred for life and an extra six J months from all New Yolk rings j because of a run-out on Phil Scott I nearly a year ago. Maxie finds himse’f welcomed back with comparatively open arms, because he Is the only one left in the heavyweight field to give Sharkey a battle and the promoters their anticipated . million dollar gate. When the boxing commission's edicts mean so little as this, it is small wonder that managers and fighters constantly flout them. Joe Jacobs who is the actual manager of Schineling. is under han, yet he is steering his man into the greatest chance any foreign fighter has had since Boh Fitzsimmons won the heavyweight championship. It is all very puzzling to the layman, but from the viewpoint of the cash customer, the sight's the thing, and Schtneling promises to ; put up one when he squares away ' against Sharkey. So Maxie and I his canny little manager will go before the commission today, re- , ceive the blessing of the “throe I dumb duke*," and be declared e’iglble to compete for the title. It is to be a fight for the heavy- ( weight championship of the world, under whatever guise it may hoi' promoted, and Max Schmeling iias made the various commissions ( back down and come to him. and I afford him a most extraordinary ‘ chance to win a title which may ] bring him a million dollars. o SPORT TABS Evanston. 111., May 6. — North- | w stern de'eated Ohio State. 10% to 7%, in the first western confer- | once golf match of the season on the Westmoreland course here yesterday.
