Promoter Has Extra Chance to Sell Seats

Fight Delay Figured Harder on Schmeling Than on Louis.

BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 19.—There was a dollar bill for Mike Jacobs in every one of those raindrops which pelted New. York yesterday and forced a postponement of the Schmeling-Louis fight, for it gave

the promoter another 24 hours in which to peddle the some $300,000 worth of pasteboards he still has on his racks. . . The postponement isn’t calculated to help : Schmeling’s chances, however, for the German, despite all the talk of his stolidity, gets excited as a bride at fight time, and will probably go to the post worn by nervousness. . . . To Louis, of course, it meant only another good night sleep. . . . The Brown, Bomber, by the way, has received dozens of letters from Germany urging that he flatten Max in one round. J Who knows but what the “counterfieit scare” which sent G-men scurrying to Harlem yesterday in

not have its genesis in the mind of one of Promoter Jacobs’ publicists? «++ With a counterfeit report abroad customers would be inclined to purchase their -ducats directly from the offices of M. Jacobs. . . . Among the customers at the fight, when it is held, will be a scattering of “gorillas” whose business it is to prevent the taking of unofficial pictures of the fight. . ... That they are ‘necessary :was proved in Tex Rickard's day when a band of “camera bootleggers” was caught trying to snap the DempseyCarpentier fight with a long distance lens through the knothole of an abandoned water tank. . , . If Schmeling draws down an expected $200,000 for his end of the fight, the eight-year ring earnings will approximate $1,500,000, a figure topped only by the winnings of Dempsey, Tunney, and—of all people—Jack Sharkey. . . .

Gustafson in Ring Victory

Oliver -A. C. ‘Middleweight Beats McTerry.

Jimmy Gustafson of Oliver A. C., winner of the tri-state open middleweight tournament at Evansville: last week has added another oppon‘ent to his victim list. The rugged battler easily disposed of Art McTerry, Negro scrapper who returned to the ring after a year layoff, last night in the windup event of the Roy Wallace boxing card at the Sports ‘Arena. ; Gustafson, a slugger who is willing to take three punches for one solid blow at the adversary, last night pounded the Negro at will, but could not measure him off for a telling blow. By means of infighting and clinching, McTerry prevented Gustafson from putting

steam behind his blows. Both Fighters Down

In the semi-windup, it appeared that Referee Wallace would be the lone survivor of a slugging bee between: Len Stover of Tipton and Melvin Byrode of Chevrolet Body Plant. The two light-heavyweights swung into rhythm in the second round and simultaneous left hooks dropped both scrappers sprawling on the mat. Stover recovered and chased Byrode to the ropes to win on a technical knockout. The Ti fighter had his opponent on the floor twice in the initial stanza, with the bell saving him on ‘the second occasion. He led She Stack throughout the shortened e, =
