The commission rocently ordered Schmeling ?o agree within 15 duyH to a titlo fight with the Boston sailor, but S'-hineling's reply was that Jacobs was his manager ami qualified to speak for him.

Unless Sharkey can prove conclusively in actual combat that he; is the best ehal lenKer available, experts feel M a Sbarkey-Schmeling bout Is fore doomed to financial failure.
