North Shore Aristocrats Behind Fight

Friends Say Sheldon Clark Never Back-Pedals on Anything He Tries.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—A clique of North Shore bluebloods with half the money in town is trying to give Joe Lewis the chance many fight experts predicted no other brown man ever would receive again. The not-for-profit Sporting Club of Illinois gave Joe the chance because Mayor Edward J. Kelly wants his Chicago Centennial Jubilee to be a social success. Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Braddock wants Joe to have his chance because it means $500,600 or half the gate for Jimmy Braddock. Joe just wants the chance, and if negotiations are not stymied by Madison Square Garden, he will have it at 15 rounds or less in Soldier Field next June 15. That night he may be in position to become the second Negro heavyweight prize fight champion in history, Millionaire Number One in the unique Sporting Club is Sheldon Clark, yachtsman, sports lover, and president of the Sinclair Oil Co. Clark led the club in its only major fight venture—the Louis-Levinsky farce in 1935. Number Two is Charles F. Glore, bond house president. Three is John Hogan, wealthy broker.

Roll Call Astounding

The board of directors’ roll call listens like a page from the social register. Their combined financial resources are staggering. For years, Clark was commodore of the Swank Chicago Yacht Club. The stout, baldish, windburned little

man of 55 or so raced his sloops in Lake Michigan water carnivals for almost 30 seasons. A club director now, he has quit the races, but still handles his own cruiser in any weather. The rest all have strong personal interest in sport. Some are expert golfers. Some play polo. Several are noted hersemen. One, Warren Wright, is one of the city’s top racing stable owners. Even without its great wealth, the pride alone of this aristocratic group would keep it in the thick of the fight to give Chicago a big time match. They're fighting for a title bout as a matter of civic duty—and maybe a pair of good passes apiece down front. Always Finishes Of Clark,

Steve Casey (rains Step Toward Title

By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 2 - Steve Casey from County Kerry, Ireland, was a step nearer a heavyweight wrestling title shot today after his victory, on a foul, over George Koverly, Jugoslay from California.

Koverly, ordered to his corner after disregarding four warnings
