By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent | NEW YORK, March 3.—Jim Braddock, as heavyweight champion, will never fight Joe Louis in America until he risks his title against Max Schmeling, Col.

| visions of his contract with us to |

fulfill his recent contract to fight Louis in Chicago June 21.” To Confer With Max | Kilpatrick lined up with Schmel- | ing when the German challenger arrived last night on the liner Berengaria. The two will confer | today. Max is just as convinced as Kilpatrick that Braddock will be in the Garden's Long Island bowl ring to defend his title June 3. “If Braddock was just an ordi- | nary fighter we might not be so sure | of our ground,” Kilpatrick said.]| “But he is the champion, therefore |
