SCHMELING WON’T FIGHT, SAYS MANAGER
Foul Rule Irks Pilot Two Judges and Referee to Handle Title Scrap July 3. By Unital Press CLEVELAND, June 19. —'Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmeling, threatened today to refuse to allow the champion to enter the ring with W. L, (Young) Stribllng July 3 if the Cleveland boxing commission did not amend a foul rule it adopted Thursday. The clause, written into the nofoul rule agreed to by both champion and challenger, provides forfeiture of the purse if either principal refuses to proceed with the fight if he is felled by a low blow. ‘Rule Is Unfair’ When the clause was adopted over his vehement protests, Jacobs exploded. “That rule is unfair because it punishes the innocent party If a foul blow is struck and Schmeling will not enter the ring under those conditions,’’ he shouted. “Then there won’t be any fight,’’ replied Commissioner Jack Harris, Just as vehemently. . Pa Stribling, father-manager of the challenger, said the rule was all right. Jacobs said he would take the matter to court should the commission persist in its intentions. Provides for No-Contest Jacobs told the United Press he did not object to the no-foul rule, which provides no-contest should the bout be halted by a low blow. Neither did he object to the assessment of a penalty upon the fighter inflicting a foul. What he did oppose was the inclusion of the additional clause providing for the retention of purses should a low punch fall. N The commission also decreed that officiating would be in the hands of two judges and the referee and that it would take no hand in any controversies. Jacobs objected to judges, but allowed the matter to rest.
