COLUMNW Ml NEW YORK CITY, MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1937 t- li.ll i- 'Tnn ANEW situation has cropped up In the already terrifically complicated Braddock-Louls-Schmellng heavyweight Manush's Clouting Mainspring of Dodgers' Attack cnampionsnip tangie.

ine passed a $10 tops on fight seats for the proposed Braddock-1 Louis thing. All hands concerned are waiting to see what the Representatives and Governor Horner nave iu say it. The Illinois lawmakers claim that it is a public-be-pleased program, that personal differences, chiselings and so forth 'Take' 'Em All Heinie's Lusty Bat Has Piled have nothing to do with this gesture in Denau ui justice. Knowing politics as I do, there seems to be cause for suspicion. It is always wise and natural to look for the Sene-gambian in the wood-pile when politicians scream of right-i eousness and a square deal for John Q.

Public. I'm getting this long distance, but there's one item of rumor from Chi that sounds so familiar I could embrace it as I would a long lost brother. This4s to the effect there is a wrangle over the distribution of the tickets. In particular, the choice ones in the first 20 rows or so. The Chicago poll-! ticians fear they won't "get theirs," that Mike Jacobs, who has been in the pasteboard racket all his life either selling 'em or printing 'em will clean up, leaving very cold and .571 Average So Fai By TOMMY HOLMES S'aff Corrrnnandrnt of The Eagle Sabring.

March 29 As the Dodgers continue to cut a surprisingly wide swath through citrus circuit competition, it is no trick at all to name the gentleman in there every day who is most responsible for the sharp attack of the Brooklyn club. The answer is right up at the top of the Spring batting averages which show that in nine games, Heinie Manush has delivered a dozen ringing hits in 21 times at bat for the flossy average of .571. They can't get Heinie out this Spring and unless something untoward happens to him, they're not going to get him out of right field for a long, long 'War while. The 35-year-oirj veteran, pirked up for nothing by the Dodgers last December after he had been unconditionally released by the Bos ton Red Sox. is clouting his way into a rezular Job.

There exists question of his ability to play right field, but the question exists because of Heinie's background and not because of his defensive work nown here, which has been excellent. In the American League. Manush alwavs piaved in left, the outfield position which re-1 quires me least au-iuuim pmii. was never famed for his fielding ability. Heinie's meal ticket has al ways been his bat.

Governor Against $10 Tons "VNE Chicago politician explained: Brisk Practice Preps Adelphi For First Game Brooklyn Academy's Ball Team Tackles Today By LEW ZEIOI.ER Stall Correspondent, of The Eagle Lewisburg.

But methinks he protpsteth too much. It just can't be so ln this day and age, or in any other, for that matter, that politicians are concerned over the fate of patient John Q. Public.

There must be somg lnggerheading over the division of the spoils, and how it will wind up is something for the future to develop. The Governor is reported to be against the $10 tops, and the chances are enough votes rannot mustered to "protect" John Q. Public from himself. In other words, it is my guess that the $27.50 tariff will not be reduced and that the fight will go on in Chicago. Still, you nevpr can tell, and the fact that the $10 tor passed the Illinois Senate is something with which to conjure.

Jacobs is a co-promoter in the affair, and from the start the financial scheme was scaled on a $27.50 maximum. If this is killed there is a very good chance that Messrs. Goild and Braddock and Jacobs will pull out of Chicago and stage the fight elsewhere. Jacobs, who has a contract on both Louis and Schmelmg. might possibly reason that he could afford to take a loss, since he's looking to the future and a possible return match for the title between Louis and Schmellng.

But that is merely a guess, and the loss at any rate couldn't afford to be too big. It must be reckoned that the Garden is far from out of consideration in the Chicago deal, and that, one way or another it will have to be declared in if there is a fight there. After all. it still has a contract on Mr. Braddock to joust with Max Schmellng here in New York.

Rickard Had Political Trouble DESPITE the legal thundering, the general assumption waa that the Garden in the end would take a cut of the Chicago profits and call it quits. That was before this new $10 tops problem arose, however. This latest tangle in the Gordian cauliflower knot now looms as perhaps the most important tangle of the entire mess. It might very reasonably result in taking the fight elsewhere, with a maximum "ton" of $27.50. or even more.

A promoter who does business out of his own bailiwick runs just such risks as you have Chicago at the present. First, he must resign himself to the bitter fact that the local "big shots" must be "taken care of" before any one else. Tex Rickard suffered this harrowing experience when he re- moved the Dempsey Carpentler fight to Jersey City, following trouble with the New York biff solnns who were insisting that Harry Wills, and not the Frenchman, should get the shot at Dempsey's crown. Jersey politicians ran Rirkard's show there, built ills arena, shared all the best scats, chiseled Tex in a hundred riiffeipiit ways and made him like it. Rickard was optimistically reported to have cleared $20,000 on this tremendous spectacle.

A more likely estimate was that he merely broke even. Rickard, experienced, played politics more successfully In Philariel- "T- Z( The Sbelbv Affair rpuE Dempsey-Gibbnns tussle was classic ol promotorial and mannpprial hlimriprinrr Tfonrnc Dempsey's manager business men as one of the men that ever or namented the sordid fight racket.
