(UP)) Heavy weight Champion Joe Louis and Tommy Farr. champion of the Brit ish empire, were matched today for a title fight "somewhere In the United States" In August or September. This cancelled European negotia tions for a Sch me ling-Parr fight In London on September 1. Today's agreement was concluded by trans-Atlantic telephone and cable conversations between Promoter Mike Jacobs af New York ond Farr's man ager, Ted Broadrlbb, who will leave England for America within two weeks. Max Muffed Chance Jacobs explained that he closed with Farr today because Schmellng had refused to accept or reject his offer for a September title bout with the Brown Bomber. "I gave Schmel lng 30 hours In which to answer my cable," Jacobs explained. "And when he didn't even give me the courtesy of an answer, I decided not to mon key with him any longer. In my cable to Schmellng, I Informed him that the New York commission had recognized Louis as champion and desired Schmellng as Louis' first title opponent." Farr Is the young Welsh heavy weight who. In the past year, beat Walter Neuse), Maxle Baer, Jack Pe terson, Tommy Loughran and Bob Olln. If he actually geta his title shot with Louis, he will be the first British heavyweight to fight for the title since Tom Heeney of New Zea land met Tunney In 1938. Plan Pour Title Fights Promoter Jacobs announced that he waa completing negotiations for four title flghta on one card In Yankee stadium on Auguat 36 or 36. Marcel Thll of France, recognized In Europe as world middleweight cham pion, has agreed to defend his title that night against Fred A post oil of San Francisco. The other three bouts would bring together Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers vs. Pedro Montanez of Puerto Rice; Welterweight Champion Bar ney Ross va. Ceferlno Garcia or Los Angeles and Bantam Champion Stxto Escobar vs. Harry Jeffra of Balti more or K. O. Morgan of Detroit. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayi: Heavyweight Crown Hollow Honor While Schmeling Unbeaten On the face of things, that agree ment reached yesterday between Pro moter Mike Jacobs of New York and Ted Broadrlbb, manager of Tommy Farr, the first vertical English heavy weight In many years, for a title bout between said Farr and Cham pion Joe Louts for "somewhere In America" In August or September, srems Just like another successful at tempt to give Max Schmellng the cold shoulder, run-around, or what ever you want to call It, Schmellng, who knocked the Brown Bomber goofy not long ago tn 13 rounds, waa first shouldered out of his well-earned championship squab ble with the then champ, Jim Brad dock. Louis got the shot, and made good. Now this Farr-Lou Is brawl kuocks the German out of hia pre viously scheduled battle with Farr. which was being billed as a "world's championship" match, and loud will be the walls from Herr Schmellng's thiok Hps when he get things all figured out. It certainly appears to be a "run around" alright, but from what Mike Jacobs aaya. Schmellng got his chanc to accpt a bout with Louis, himself, and didn't even bother to answer the promoter s telegram. If that's true; if the German ignored the offer (If It waa made) after howling about a chance to fight Louis again, then the cancellation of the Farr-Schmeling fight to make way for the English man to argue wtth Louts is no more than Schmellng deserves. It s a cinch there la no man In the world who more deserves a crsck at the Detroit Bomber's crown than does Schmellng. In fact.

But, If Schmel lng had hts chance to get at. tbe present champion again, and didn't care enough about the matter to an swer one way or the other, then little sympathy should be wasted on blm. George Harrington, one of Medrord's own athletic products who returns next fall to take over all coaching duties at the Junior high school, believes In being prepared when he steps out Into the wolf -laden coaching world. George, star Llnfleld college ath lete for the past four years, aald that he was tentatively planning to attend the coaching school at Catallna Island the middle of August with Bob Wood, Phoenix high school mentor the past few years. The school will be under the su pervision of Sam Barry, basketball; Howard Jones, footbsll; Dean Crom well, track, and other noted college coaches, the new Junior high head man said. He figured It would be a great opportunity for him. not only In as similating knowledge from masters, but In talking over actual problems with the many Junior high and high school mentors who will be enrolled. A football and baaketball man at Llnfleld for four years. George should be pretty well qualified to guide the destinies of future Medford high ath letes. Only one thing has him wor ried a bit, he admitted, and that was the ability to teach tackle and guard play to his Junior high football line men. "There are some things I don't un derstand about guard and tackle blocks and defensive maneuvers" he said, "but Bowerman will straighten me out on those points." Although Harrington waa offered the Job vacated by Ruas Acheson when the latter moved up to the high school staff, he signed his con tract only the other day. Reason for the lapse of about one month be tween the offer and dotted line busi ness waa that George waa Investigat ing an offer he had received from Redmond regarding the head coach ing position in the high school. - George, It la understood, could have made more do-re-ml by accepting the eastern Oregon post ... 60 more a year but turned It down in favor of the local position after some sleuth ing around.. In the first place, ath letic material In Redmond didn't look so hot: secondly, he would be bucking as his chief rival. Bend high, one of the toughest in the state, and third, he ftgured It would do him more good to start at the bottom of the coaching ' game and climb and learn through experience. That second point can't be too strongly over-emphasized In making a choice of coaching Jobs, and Har rington fully realized the odda that would be piled against him. No mat ter how smart a coach is. It's an axiom that he can't produce without material on a par with his rivals. In a small school like Redmond, there would be absolutely no chance for Harrington or anyone else to make a record!; a record Impressive enough to draw offera from larger scnoois, at wnicn an coachea aim their guns. There would alwayat be that huge Lava Bear of Bend high block ing the way, and George would lan guish and suffer In an Institution where there was no chance of an un defeated season. He realized It, and Medford geta a swell coach because he did. UNBEATEN II1E1EN TAKE FOURTH WIN IN SOFTBALLERS LEAGUE Gamei Tonight. Commercial League. Fabera vs. HUMRS. Plche vs. 30-30.

Yes. 11,600,000." A year ago Doyle couldn't get a fight In Los Angeles. The promoters tUd he wouldn't draw a draft of air, and besides, he might get hurt. Then Doyle went to England and thrashed King Lev In sky of Chicago who. Incidentally, couldn't get anoth er fight here, either. The Levlnsky triumph apparently "made" Doy'.e an attraction there.
