MAX WILLING TO MEET JACK IN SEPTEMBER Nl'VU YORK, Juno 21 (AP) Apparently rtol satisfied with his questionable world's heavyweight boxing title, Max Schmellng has agreed to meet .lack Kharkcy in a return bout at Yankee Stadium in Keplem'bcr under certain provi sions. Before he steps into the ring again against lint man who gave him the championship on a foul in tho fourth round, Schmellng says ho must have, an outright release from Arthur liuelow, German man ager whom lie disposed fiver a. year ago but whose contract does not expiro until Octboer. Tho derma n heavyweight also says "he will hiivc no part of CJra ham McN'aXmee as a radio an nouncer" on grounds the National Uroadcusting company's announcer was partial to Sharkey and made errors in their June 12 bout at the Stadium. Am tho (iarden has already agreed to take care of the liuelow ncltlcmnnt as well as finding n suitable broadcaster, there appears no reason why the heavyweight title will not be at stake once more. .MKS.
