Schmeling suggested the southern winter locale yesterday after Dr. Fred Albee, nationally known bone specialist and "neutral" physician named by the New York Boxing commission, said the champion was suffering from arthritis In the little left finger and both elbows. The physician said Braddock would need several weeks' treatment and couldn't fight before mid or late October at the earliest. Promoter Mike Jacobs of 20th Century and Promoter James J. Johnston of Mr.dfson Square Garden took favorably to Sehmeling's suggest ion. Braddock’s ailment and the revelation that he hadn't yet signed I a contract for the proposed late ' September meeting at Madison (Square Garden bowl left a tangled problem for hte boxiing commission to unrar el tomorrow. Joe Gould, bio manager, said he would sign to defend against the German on any date the commission designated. But Gould was sure the commission would heed ! Dr. Albee’s advice.
