Bitter Scrap for Title
Bout Promotion Begins
Garden Threatens Expose it ‘Schmeling- Braddock Fight Goes to Jacobs; Mike Confident.
BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor
\ W YORK, June 29.—Madison Square Garden and Mike = Jacobs are squared off in a finish fight for supremacy
=n the beak busting business.
Jacobs announces that Jim Braddock will defend the i world heavyweight championship against Max Schmeling under his auspices in September. Col. John Reed Kilpatrick says that Braddock will be held rigidly to a contract to
appear for the
Garden. He also claims to
have a hold on Schmeling, ‘indicating that money advanced to the German’s manager,
Joe Jacobs, makes the string more binding. Schmeling is signed to box for Mike Jacobs, and
lS M3 ..o"Braddock asserts iy Col. Kilpatrick
that he will appear under that
.organization’s banner despite his Garden contract.
8 Not a few suspect that Mike Jacobs also has Braddock under contract.
“I'm not saying a word about it now, but I'll do all right!
: i: right!” says Mike Jacobs.
I'll do all
Joe Gould, manager of Braddock, makes the significant statement 3 that the Jersey Mick will fight for the organization producing Schmeling.
. Jacobs can produce Schmeling, it seems, and injunctions and law- ' suits seem inevitable. Col. Kili patrick declares that this is one i decision the Garden won't lose— that it will carry the case to the highest court. 1 s » s HOROUGHLY aroused by the attempts to take

Regulars to Appear
Manager O'Neill promised to start most of his regulars, including Hughes, Hale, Averill, Trosky, Vosmik, Campbell .and Knickerbocker, with the battery to be selécted at game time. Cleveland is in a tie with the Detroit Tigers for third place in the American League race. The Columbus-Indianapolis game scheduled for tonight has been postponed by agreement until Aug. 17. Chief Killefer’s Redskins shoved Columbus from second to fifth position by taking both ends of yesterday’s bargain attraction. The scores were 14 to 6 and 4 to 1. The second fracas was held to eight innings by the 6 o'clock Sunday closing law.
Away Until July 21
The Hoosiers are to begin their long road trip tomorrow at Toledo
and the journey will keep them
away from home until July 21. The 6-2
team came to life again Saturday night when Jim Turner kept eight hits scattered and downed Louisville in'the series finale, 4 to 1. The Tribe hit total was 12 and the home boys took down the laurels by rallying for three runs in the seventh. The first clash with Columbus yesterday pi a “slugfest. - Twenty hits were ected and 14 by the Red Boh g Tapes was ‘a big third inning by: the Killeferites that had- the crowd in a “panic.” Eight runs were tallied and the visitors were made dizzy chasing down base hits.
