HARD-KITTIMG BAER INSTEAD OF" TAKING A TITLE FIGHT WITH THE' AGING SHARKER? Schmel i rg's pilot- IF SCHMEUAG LOSES, JOE UU BE THE GOAT! ?4 - " -in i LOME weeks from now Max Schmeling will climb through the ropes into the Yankee Stadium ring for his much bally nooed scrap with California's Max 3aer; and accompanying him will oe a little bright-eyed man with a long cigar clamped between his clenched molars. The little guy with, the ever present torch protruding from his nush is, of course, Joe Jacobs, the stute fistic pilot who steered schmeling into fame and fdrtune after luring: him away from his German manager four years ago. Now nobody who knows him or knows about him will deny that Jacobs knows all the angles in the intricate fight racket. The sharp faced Joseph may lack some of the finesse which the Kearns of Demp sey's palmy days used to exhibit in maneuvering the Manassa Mauler into bouts with assorted bums, mlddleweights and. invalids, but just the same Jacobs has heretofore acquitted himself very creditably in hia handling of the German's fistic affairs. Look over the records. Jacobs put Schmeling into the pit with Paulino at a time when he knew Maxie was a dead cinch to win, as the Basque's injured left shoulder was in such a condition as to make it all but impossible for him to bother Schmeling with his best weapon, a left hook. Then circumstances made it nec essary to sign Schmeling to meet Sharkey, with the winner to be rec ognized as Tunneys successor, and that put little Joe in a spot, since at that time Schmeling was far from ready to be sent in with the Boston boxing master. The fight went through, however, and it was none other than Jacobs who saved the day for Maxie just when things looked blackest for the Berlin Bomber, bchmeling, it will be remembered, waa absorbing an awful lathering from the white- eyed sailor when he suddenly went down from a sweeping left hook to the body and would have been counted out if the foghorn voice of hia alert pilot hadn't been heard above the dm shouting the famous squawk of "Foul I " Jacobs then refused to let Schme ling box Sharkey the following year, preferring to put Max in with the faint-hearted Stribling, know ing that the longer Sharkey had to wait for a return shot, the less formidable he would be. Joe's well laid plans failed to can out. how ever, for Sharkey had enough left when he finally met the German to outstab him in 15 dull rounds. Following this, Jacobs proceeded to show hia wisdom by matching Schmeling with the sawed-off. bat tle-scarred Mickey Walker, and Schmeling rehabilitated himself as a puncher by smashing poor little Mick into the resin. Now, however, the boys are whis pering that little Joe has made a mistake at last. When he-turned down a. title shot with the aging Sharkey and matched hia black- browed puncher with the young, hard-bitting Baer, all because of a grievance against, the - Madison Square Garden outfit, he showed a willingness to gamble that la hardly in line with the best managerial traditions. The California riant will have a biz advantage in aiza and weight over Schmeling, and he is terrific clouter in the bargain. is wouia do no shocking opset if he tipped the German over, and then where would our Joseoh be? Then a rain, even rrantinv tht Schmeling gets safely past Baer suppose Camera licks Sharkey? Billy Duffy. Pnmo i manager, has already said that he will not let the Italian giant fight Schmeling until the German settles the law suit that the Camera crowd have filed against Maxie for running out on Primo a couple of years ago. And even if Camera did agree to fight him, Schmeling would find the skill ful man-mountain a far more for midable opponent than-the Sharkey he lost the title to last year. CapTrt-M. 1111.

(AP) A flash of ebony fighting fury caught Seaman Tom Watson of I Old England unexpectedly tonight. bowled him over briefly and sus- i tained sufficient force to clinch a 15-round victory over the sturdy Briton for Cuba's Kid Chocolate, still the featherweight champion of the world so far as New York -and probably London are con cerned. Before a yelling1 crowd of 12,- 000 that forsook a balmy May eve ning for the battle pit. contribut ing to a "gate" of $30,000, Choc olate rallied from a poor start to carry off the unanimous decision of Referee Pete Hartley and the two judges. The Cuban Kid, on the Associated Press score-sheet, carried off eight rounds and won decisively. Watson, game to the finish, was credited with five i rounds while two were even. Most of the drama of the fight. hard and somewhat bitterly fought most of the way, was packed into the 10th round when Chocolate at the peak of his decisive rally floored Watson with a looping left hand to the Jaw. Seaman Tom al most turned a compete somersault from the combined force of the blow and his own frantic efforts to escape Chocolate's furious, two- fisted rush, but he refused to take advantage of a long count and bobbed np after two strokes of the timekeeper's mallet.

The Molalla defense blew up in the fifth inning and let the In dians score three runs after they had aeqnired two 'each in the first and second. Molalla scored one each in the first three Innings and the fifth, and two in the seventh. Jones of Chemawa banged out the longest home run of the day. the ball rolling to the old com missary building.
