Jacobs said merely, "I am negotiating a fight in Miami. I telephoned certain parties there this evening. I would have something definite on it now, but the main man down there was sick today. We'll settle the matter tomorrow." The Galento-Baer shift to Miami seemed more probable when Jacobs admitted that he had asked Ancil Hoffman to let Baer fight Lee Savold of Des Moines on the garden charity show on March 4. But Hoffman told nim he was interested only in Galento as an opponent for Maxie, but that he would let Buddy Baer meet Savold, over whom Buddy holds a decision.

Jacobs admitted also that he had been approached about shifting Tony and Maxie to Los Angeles, but he thought "Los Angeles was too far away for this light." Because of the evidence it seemed that Uncle Mike was considering a Galento-Baer trawl in Miami instead of a light heavyweight title fight in that city, matching Champion Billy Conn and the winner of the Fred Apostoli-Meiio Bettina return match on Feb. 2. The light heavy title scrap had been considered previously for Miami and seriously. Godoy Signs To Meet Louis Meanwhile the ccmrrussion changed its mind about having a lightweight contenders' tournament to determine a challenger for Champion Lou Ambers, who must defeno his crown after March 23. The commission notified leading lightweights and their representatives that the boys could go out and fight one another for various promoters and eliminate themselves.

Then Ambers could pick the best one as challenger. Amid much flood and camera-clicking, Joe Louis and Arturo Godoy signed commission contracts for their heavyweight title tilt on Feb. 9, and Henry Armstrong and Pedro Montanez did likewise for their welterweight championship battle next Wednesday night.

JOE (INKS Down The SportsTrail By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Jan. 17 WV-Bill Brandt puffed furiously on his pipe until he sounded like an outboard motor, and his eyes were popping all over the place, which was the National League service bureau. "Look at these rookies," he exclaimed as he pored over the rosters.

"Practically every club has a sensational recruit. The Cardinals seem pretty "well set, but even tliey are bringing up a crop of short-steps, including Martin Marion of Rochester, Joe Orengo of Sacramento and Ed Lake of Houston. Bees Acquire Callahan "Here, now, I was just looking at the Bees' roster. They have a young pitcher named Joe Callahan they brought up from Evansville late last year. He won his only start for them.

With Evansville he won 19 and lost eight, and his earned run average was 1.86. There hasn't been one like that in the National Lesaue since Carl Hubbell's 1.66 in 1933. "And take the Cubs, they have a left-handed Hack Wilson coming up. He's Dominic Dallessandro, an outfielder from San Diego who was the Coast League batting champion last year with 368. His home is in Reading, and he's one of these squat, powerful fellows, carrying 190 pounds on a five foot six frame." Brandt paused for breath, then more calmly proceeded to point out other newcomers whose records Indicates class, although he admitted In some instances it was Class class.

He mentioned young Vince Di-Maggio, whom the Reds got from Kansas City and who, despite an unimpressive batting average of .293, batted in 136 runs to lead the American Association. The Reds also have a first baseman coming up named Cyril Moran who knocked in 148 runs for Muskogee last year, but with Frank McCormick hanging around Cyril, nicknamed Buck, probably would rust by the water cooler. The Dodgers have Harold "Pee-wee) Reese, a fine fielding shortstop from Louisville who causes Leo Durocher to moan: "Every time we get a good prospect, he's a shortstop yet, trying to get my job." Charley George With Dodgers And In case Babe Phelps keeps juggling too many balls on the ends of his fingers, the Dodgers will have Charley George, a catcher who hit .372 in 77 games with Nashville, to fall back on. The Pirates have a young Ditcher named Gee, which is what the batters say when they see him. John Alexander Gee is his full handle, and he stands six feet nine inches.

He throws from the wrong side and he won 20 and lost 10 for Syracuse last year before reporting to the Pirates late last season. And Bob Elliott and Maurice Van Rofcays, outfielders who came up last year to the Pirates from Toronto and Montreal, respectively, and hit better than .300, will bear watching. The Giants, who need a little vulcanizing here and there, point with pride to Bert Haas, who hit .365 witn Naiiwille, and Babe Young, the ex-Fcrdhamifce who came up from Knoxville late last year to play scene classy first base, may play scene more, depending largely on the outcome of the Zeke Bonura riddle. Even the Phillies are hopeful, and have a fair-haired lad in Stan Benjamin, a third baseman who hit at Chattanooga and led his league in stolen bases. They also have Si Johnson, who isn't a rookie in the strict sense of the word but is coming up from the International League with a record of 22 victories.

"Yes sir," Brandt concluded. "Their records are fine, but then, they look good every year, so you never can tell. They're running into a different class of ball." The National League should know about that in view of the world ieries. Y.M.H.A. Midgets Trounce Bancroft 9A Team, 43 to 5 The Y.

Jan. 17 (U.PJ After a day of great hurly-burly, it seemed virtually certain tonight that Promoter Mike Jacobs will stage a big fight at Miami, this winter, probably matching Tony Galento and Maxie Promoter Jacobs announced tonight. "I'll have something definite on this by 6 p. m.

tomorrow." Uncle Mike made this announcement after emerging from a lengthy conference with Galento's manager, Joe Jacobs. Before that conference he had telephoned to 'certain parties" in Miami and also talked to Baer's manager. Ancil Hoffman, in Sacramento, Calif. Defer Action on Joe Jacobs These discussions came shortly after another weekly performance of the fistic follies at the New York Boxing Commission, where Chairman John J. Phelan informed an expectant press that action was deferred indefinitely on the fate of Galento's pilot, Joe Jacobs.

This postponement of action virtually kicked the Galento-Baer fight out of New York. Mike Jacobs had scheduled the brawl tentatively for March 4 at Madison Square Garden for the Finnish relief fund. Last week the commission approved this garden bout, but refused to renew pilot Joe Jacobs' license as manager or second. And Irate Joe said. "I'll get my licenses or Galento won't fight in New York state." The commission said today it would defer re-consideration of Manager Joe's application until the district attorney's office came to some definite conclusion in its investigation of the Harry Thomas confession which allegedly stated that he (Thomas) had once engaged in a fixed fight with Max Schmeling in New York.

Joe was Schmeling's manager at the time.
