LOUIS, FARR FIGHT
SIGNED FOR FALL
Action Cancels Negotiations
for Schmeling-Farr Go in
London Claim Max
Failed to Take Offer
By JACK CUDDY
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, July 3. (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

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. It Is considered

of Louis In the last battle. This
department agrees. 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.
