Jan. 31.— (U.R) —The j , complicated heavyweight situation, jin which three former champions _ | were alternating to regain the ; i crown was simplified somewhat to ! day with the retirement of ex-title-holder James J Braddock. The decision of the 32-year-old Jersey Irishman to foresake boxing ! left Max Schmelling of Germany; and Maxie Baer of California the ' only former champions gunning for ' I the crown now worn by Joe Louis. : Because of Jersey Jim's upset victory over Tommy Farr. British f , titleholder, 10 days ago, he was an t i integral part of the complex heavy- x weight picture and was assured of , a $40,000 to $50,000 purse for fight- • 1 ing Farr in a return match. With i Braddock stepping aside, however, i , the way was left open for promoter i Mike Jacobs to sign Farr with Baer. The Irishman had refused i to meet Maxie again. “I am going to try and match Farr and Baer for March 11," i Jacobs said today. "If they will fight. I'll give the winner a shot at Joe Louis before Joe fights Max i Schmeling this summer." Jacobs i indicated if Farr, who already | holds a decision over Baer, did not i want the match, he would attempt I to get Jimmy Adamick, Detroit's I sensational young slugger, for the I spot. The unexpected retirement of I Braddock closed one of pugilism's I most romantic chapters. James J. brought to life a true Horatio Al- ■ ger character when he stepped ! from the New Jersey relief roles to wrest the title from Baer in June 1935. In a statement to the press. Braddock said: “I am retiring from the ring. "I have won my last fight, and j I think I still could beat most of | the outstanding contenders for the j heavyweight championship, but I l have spent 15 years in the game I and in fairness to everyone, | especially to my wife and children, ,i I believe it is time for me to I withdraw." Schmeling Wins Hamburg. Germany, Jan. 31 — (U.R) —Max Schmeling. No. 1 chai- | lenger for the world's heavyweight i championship, started plans today I for a third “tuneup" bout before Ihe meets Joe Louis for the title 1 next June. Max, hopeful of becoming the i first man ever to regain the heavy: weight crown, scored a 12-round decision over Big Ben Foord, South African and former British empire titleholder, before a crowd of | 26,000 here yesterday. o Mr. and Mrs. Perry Huffman, of Philadelphia, Pa., are visiting with the latter’s mother, Mrs. Jessie I Beery, and friends.
