These observers declare that the desire of Manager Eddie Meade and Promoter Mike Jacobs for cash has caused them to rush henry back to the ring when he should still be convalescing. They also doubt that the back injury will bo completely cured by Nov ember 25. There are also rumors here to the (.fleet that Garcia is destined to emerge from the bout with the welterweight crown. 'This talk has it that Armstrong may be an innocent victim of inside manipu lations, and that the haste with which ho has been thrown into a match with Garcia despite his physical inabilities is n method of insuring victory for the haul punching Filipino.

WILLIAMS, Journal Square St* Jersey City. N. J. Dept. O. New York. Nov. 10 (ANP) L'ght Heavyweight Champion John Hen ry Lewis, kept out of thj big money because he refused to sign with the czar of boxing, Uncle Mikj Jacobs capitulated last week Ho will meet that other Louis the t ; cno named Joe for the world's JOE LOUIS heavyweight crown >n Madison Square garden on January 27. The match, announcement of which came as a surprise to fistic circles, will pit two gladiaters to gether for the first all-colored he avyweight fight cJn American soil in the history of boxing. It will set at rest charges heard in some quarters that the Brown Bomber had drawn the color line against members of his own race, and it will establish definitely whether or not such a match will draw dollar money. And it will give John Henry a chance to make heavy sugar, not only on January 27, but for the next five years, for Jacobs will sign him to a five year exclusive contract should he defeat Joe. The light heavyweight champ although holding the crown for three years^ has made money in only one fight, fhat against Len Harvey in Lon don when he collected $20,000. Previously Lewis had been of fered a contract by Jacobs, but Manager Gus Greenlee turned it town, stating he was opposed to Uncle Miko’s stranglehold on box ing. As a result, John Henry could get no bouts that would draw' well, for Jacobs had corner ed prcatically every fighter of im portance. The powerful promot er also succeeded in having the New York Boxing Commission de clare John Henry's title vacant. Lewis' best chance in considerable time to line his coffers came when ho was engaged to fight Two-ton Tony Galento last summer in Phil adelphia—only to have Tony floor ed by pneumonia a few days be foro the match. For defending his crown recently against A1 Gainer he collected about $3,500. The fact that he had a “frozen asset” may have causexl Greenlee to do an about face, for the Pitts burgh manager, while apparently well fixed, is hardly a financial rival of Ford or Rockefeller. The opportunity to make money for ...... ■■■ . both himself and Lewis may have cau:,ed the capitulation. There is also the fact that Lew is challenged James J. .Braddock for the title and has persistently begged for a shot at Louis. This bout will give him the chance he has been looking for. Just how successful he will be is another question. To Joe, the Opponent doesn’t matter, just so long as he fights. He also could use the money, for despite being in the heavy sugar for three years he operates un der the assumption that after tak ing care of his annuities, real es tate investments and family, money was coined for spending purposes and a champion, like a king or cosgressman shouldn’t be a nickel nurscr. He will draw 40 estimates put at $100 000 and percent of the gate, which present Lewis will take away 17V4 percent. The last previous fight for the heavyweight crown between Ne groes was in Paris in 1913 between Jack Johnson and Ben johnson. ► Oddly enough, both principals had tho same last name then just as they will this time, only the 1939 match will find the gladiators spelling their names differently despito the sameness of pronunc iation. While most experts are confi* dent that Joe will dispose of his less heavy namesake in the same efficient manner he ha1- conquered others, a good bout is predicted. Louis is essentially a puncher who boxes well; Lewis is the cleverest boxer in heavier classes today and has a capable punch. Jack John son went on record a few years a- ^ go with the staement that Joh* was a better man than Joe, al though the second Schmeling fight may have caused him to change his mind. Louis may be anywhere up to 20 pounds heavier than John Hen ry, since the latter fights best at around 182. But John Henry is expected to make up in speed in cleverness what be lacks in weight. Lewis has never been knocked out in 100 fights. Contracts will not l>e signed un til Nov. 25. It's appearance here then at athletic commission head quarters may prove a bit embar rassing for L( wis has sued that body for heavy damages because they voided his crown. John Henry will also have to square himself with Herman Taylor, Phil adelphia promoter, who claims to havc advanced him $3,300 before the cancelled GaUnto fight which has never been repaid. ^ ENROLL NOW’—..
