(X.Y.) EVENING OBSERVER, MONDAY, JANUARY 9. M3I MIKE JACOBS CLOSES GARDEN'S DOORS ON SOL KRIEGER A-- MB MIIII 'Krieger Qiving Fred Apostoli Run 1 Charges "Phenagling" Expect to Get Conn and Apostoli Signed Today for 15-Round Battle--Jacobs Sounds Off. By JACK CUDDY New York, Jan. 9-- (UP)-- Promoter 31 ike Jcofon blasted "that certain middleweight today as lie prepared to close for a 15-romid return bout between i heavyweight "Billy Conn of Pittsburgh, and Fred Apostoli, the Ud" middleweight champion, at Madison Square FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH half-crown Garden on 'February 10. Jacobs, who returned last night from a three weeks vacation in Florida, gave off such torrid statements about middleweight Solly Krieger of Brooklyn, and Solly's J.fiO-pound predecessors and their "controllers," a friends feared Promoter Mike had been blistered by the tropical sun.

Here Art Champa Krieger is recognized National Boxing by the association as world middleweixht champion; ami ADOStoli is king of the iniddle- weighu in the eyes of the New york commission. "There is a dispute over the middleweight title," Jacobs explained. "We have been tryin? to fettle it. We have been trying to get Aoostoli and Krieger into tht tame ring--again. The laSt time they met, on April 14, 1D37, Apostoli scored a technical knockout over Kriecer in the fifth round.

But that was before either claimed the title. Now that both claim the crown, Apostoli is ready to meet Krieger in any ring at any timte, but Krieger is trying to him run-around. "So Apostoli has to fight light heavyweights. Apostoll lost to Billy Conn in close 10-round Madison Sciuare Garden Friday flight. Conn is a light heavy, and vfcry good one.

Aoostoli wants to meet Conn again. He figures he can turn the tables over the 15- round distance. We expect to doss for that fight today. Conn already is signed. No titles are involved in their meetings.

ThU Match "But what we're most anxious to do is to match Apostoli and Krieger. Why won't Krieger accept such a match? I'll tell you Because KrieRcr and his 'manager, Hymie Caplin. belong to a certain clique that has controlled the so-called middlcweifhl title through Babe Risko, Freddie Al Hostak--and now Krieger. So, what will Krieger do? He'll fight Hostak again, probably in Seattle. Hostak is the guv he won claims from.

He won 1 fight Apostoli. But, I'm telling you now--regardless of what happens in another Krieger-Hostak fight, the I0th century club is through with Krieger. He'll never fight Apostoli or anybody else under our promotion." Mike charged that Krieger and SKIS GUNS SKATES HUNTING EQUIPMENT BICYCLES Have Tour Skates Sharpened at THE FELLOWS' STORE 225 Central Avenue Caplin and "their associates" were trying to "phensgle." and "we don't have any phenagling here. Ail we're interested in Is fighters who fight. We don't care about their connections.

Certainly I've been in touch with Hymie Caplin while I've been on my vacation--indirectly and otherwise. That's why I'm saying that Krieger is through, as fnr as the 20th century is concerned." Galento Next As- a cooler, Promoter-Jacobs was asked if he again had first call upon the services Tony Calento, the blubbery heavyweight from Orange, N. whom the National Boxing association regards as No. 1 contender. snapped, "yes, 1 have.

1 expect to make a match this week for Gal- cnto at the Garden, robably on February 24." And what about Billy Conn? Well--after Conn fights Apostoli Feb. 10, he will confine his activities to light heavy division. Ultimately he probably will meet tile winner of the Malio Bettina- Tigcr Jack Fox bout. Bettina and Fox are virtually certain to meet at the Hippodrome on Feb. 17 to decide which shall take over John Henry Lewis' vacated light heavy crown.

LEAGUE WILL OPERATE McBride of Yankees Goldberg Will Play for Them This Year. Pittsburgh, Jan. 9--(UP)--The American professional football league, inactive during 1938. will function again this fall. Representatives of six cities held a reor- Soineone tipped ui off Friday night that Dunkirk's Mikf Jacobs, Al Lutz, win neen at the late in the afternoon, walking in and out of the new Floral hall.

Could it ineau the popular imprenario getting a line on some previous to the announcement of a winter fight series beret It certainly could. We haven't been notified that any such program in in ths offing definitely, but we are inclined to believe ths old fire horse just can't stay away from the excitement and will bt spreading something big before our before long. Mr. Luti would be wise If be pulled strings and brought Jimmy Winters, of Clertland down here. Winteri has been operating in Buffalo and has won four straight.

Cleveland's Jim Doyle says he'i the man to watch. Apparently ths current Buffalo chatter concerning amateur in too much for Lutz who can't stand to see nearby towns operating while he himself is idle. He's had a laugh or two however from the build-up that has been jtiveu on Lothar Schaefer, the W-J heavy. One Bison made no about explniuing Schaefer had not been defeated, that he was national championship material. Somehow or other, we remember very clearly Lothar Schaefer giving up in the third round to Billy Muldoon, the national 175 pound champion here this past summer.

The local fans were sorely disappointed, booed the actions of Schaefer. Schacfflr in being headlined in Buffalo. Winters is training in Buffalo for something big out of town. He wants to turn pro, but at least three who are interested in him, say If Winters ever fought would never let him go. They say he's the hottest stuff in the amateur ring today.

The Floral hall at the fairgrounds is truly a natural fight spot. Over 100 feet wide and 140 feet long, well lighted and just recently equipped with a modern heating system, the building is something not to be taken lightly by local sports funs. Few cities the of Dunkirk hare such a building. Well ventilated and safe, fire-proof and comfortable, the place is an asset to Dunkirk and Freclonia. The ring would be placed directly in the center with enough seats placed in bowl-fashion around" it to seat 3,000 fans.

Parking facilities are excellent and the grounds are policed adequately. Furthermore, it is easy to get to and get out of. Patrons can be unloaded right at the rear entrance. It's our opinion that Lutz and his Dunkirk Athletic club are planning things and it won't be long before he'll an- a fight program embracing some red-hot amateurs that will draw from Jamestown and Buffalo like something we've never seen before. From Billy Boose's camp in Pittsburgh, we learn that the popular middleweight who has been building himself up in a steel mill of late, will shortly pack up his duds and head for New York city and the big time.

Soose injured his right hand just before hia scheduled fight with Glen Lee was to have come off and the bout was cancelled. He hurt it in the Teddy Yarosz match and left the ring under orders of his manager, Paul Moss. Weighing but 155, five pounds beneath the middleweight limit, Soose, while carrying plenty of punching power, didn't have the weight. Into the steel mill he went for hardening and real work. injured hand has healed satisfactorily and he has put on some much-needed poundage.

He'll train in New York, supposedly in Fred Apostoli's gnnb.ntion meeting yesterday and quarters, and will be handled with kid gloves until ready for a s(Art towards the title group. It won't be long before he'll be seen in a headliner at the Garden, possibly against Popcye Woods, who rated, at present, among the first 10 contenders for the much-disputed crown. another will be held Feb. 3 in New York.

Jimmy Demaret of Houston, seemed a certain winner today ai he started down the rolling fairways of Griffith park on the final round of the Los Angelet Open golf tournament five strokes ahead of a select field. The round-faced younf Texan, who never before has been within grasp of victory in a major medal tournament, began his last 18 holes on the treacherous Wilson course with an aggregate score of 205 and the moral advantage of having stretched his lead when the pressure was tightest.

Only. E. J. Harrison of Chicago, Harold McSpaden of Winchester, and Jimmy Thomson of Shawnee," all tied for second at 210, appeared to hold a slim chance of catching him. Demaret, the early pace setter, increased his lead by a stroke yesterday when he scored an even par 71 in the face of a half-dozen putts that rimmed the cup.

The difference of two inches meant to Demaret the difference of a half- dozen strokes, but he refused to fade and came on with a rush time after time when a near-record gallery of 3000 persons thought his chances were gone. Barring a complete collapse, the 28-year-old veteran is virtually unbeatable. Behind the trio in second position was Mark Fry of Oakland, with 212; and Lawson Little of San Francisco, Har-i' ry Cooper of Chicago, Marvin Stahl of Lansing, and Horton Smith, of Chicago, with 213 10 PLAY BUFFALO promoter of the championship event, care of 317 Main street. for gas-filled balloons by experimenting with gas-filled bubbles.
