That was the dilemma which caused some excitement in the offices here today of Promoter Joe Foley, who hopes to promote a fight at Comiskey Park next June between Braddock and Joe Louis. When Braddock failed to put in an appearance again this morning, out came the rumors in bales and bijndles in freight-car lots. Of course, Mr.

Foley pointed out that Braddock might pop into fight headquarters at any minute, but he was disturbed by all the stories going around. Strange Disappearance. One was that, upon leaving Miami Monday night, Braddock proceeded either due north to Canada or due south to Bermuda, with the avowed intention of making a fantastic flight to F.ng- land, where he was to meet Max Schmeling and sign to fight the Uhlan in Germany. Foley, with a quaver in his loice (w'hich might have been a Iress agent trick) pointed out Jiat Schmeling, too, left on a trans-Atlantic liner, and that when Schmeling signed to fight Bteve Hamas in Germany, all were made in England. He added; Still Another Angle.

Whether HE New York state athletic commission, best known affairs of the fist as the "Three Dumb Dukes," has splattered the Torrance-Phillips ring scandal at New Orleans with its official whitewash, thus pretending to give a clean bill to all parties the stench lingers on. Recent press dispatches from Gotham relate that the "Dukes" exonerated Promoter Mike Jacobs, along with one Brodie, manager of Torrance, and one Jackson, the go-between who shipped Phillips to Louisiana, but it is significant, in connection with the statement, that the name of the cunning trickster who concocted the crooked scheme wasn even mentioned as a party to the alleged investigation in New York.

To make clear, perhaps I should explain that Phillips, tagged with an alias, was sent from New to Now Orleans early last month to go Into battle with Jack Torrance, world record-holder of the 16 -pound shotput and recent convert to the ennobling cause of boshing chins. of Nebraska swimming team were' or not Stuart in Minneapolis Friday for the na- able to hold down second base all year remains to be the answ'cr will be important.

Physically, Torrance is a gigantic specimen and the opportunity to wheedle the ring addicts of Gotham into the belief that Big Jack would be a worthy foe of the brown bomber had so much glitter that the schemers of the fight racket anticipated a bloated profit. Arriving on the scene, it appears that Phillips suddenly experienced a change of heart. His instructions, dictated in New York, were to dive into the tank. In other words, give Torrance an argument for two or three rounds and then flop to the canvas as if he were knocked out.

The thing that actually did was to pull a run-out, but before departing from the Crescent City he exposed the details of the slimy arrangement, even producing an unsigned, type-written slip, handed him in New York, which instructed him where he was to go, whom he should seek on his arrival at New Orleans and what he was to do once he entered the ring against Torrance. Don Gutteridge, former Lincoln third-baseman in the Nebraska State league, apparently is set to perform regularly at the hot corner position with the St. Louis Cardinals in the National league this season. Gutteridge worked at third-base with the Red Birds the last few weeks last year and is hitting a fancy pace tlie conditioning games. hur day, he hit a home run, double and single as the Cards dropped a 4-3 to Columbus of the American Association in a 10-inning game.

Although finger of suspicion pointed straight at Mike Jacobs, also his stooges, Brodie and Jackson, New York promoter evidently was able to wriggle his way into the clear, which is evidenced by verdict of guilty" handed down this week by the Empire state commission. All the while, whispers have been going the rounds in fight that the person actually guilty of framing the intended New Orleans fake is a secret ally of publicity peddler who occupies a behind-the-scenes seat and dips a fat fist into Promoter Mike's profits. efusal, failure or of the New York commission to probe to the bottom of the rotten mess has inspired a smart suggestion, the same by Jack Kearns, former manager of Jack Dempsey and at present promoter of fist fights at Detroit. The Kearns proposal is that various state commissions get together unanimously in creating a national czar of boxing a high commissioner having authority in boxing equal to that cf Judge Landis in organized baseball. national commissioner, Kearns proposes, must be a man of high standing, with a wide reputation for integrity, thus to win for boxing a fame and name that it never has been able previously to possess.
