1935, by United Press) NEW YORK, Dec. two little maestros of the box office, Michael Strauss Jacobs and James Joy Johnston--Wjho have done so much to elevate pugilism, to present high plane--now have decided to turn their uplift efforts to bridge. Uplift is putting. It weakly. Jacobs and Johnston will jerk bridge up by the roots and plaster it all over Madison Square Garden wi Jim the fortnight, in a delirious combination of hot dogs, loud speakers, peanuts and a 100- foot square briUge table rimmed by 52 men, each with a gigantic card fastened to his back.

No joker will be needed in- this tournament. The- spectacular event is the A.A.U.Votes for Olympic Games Participation 'world's championship bridge match" between a team, representing the Re- rablic of France, of "Vive La Trance" fame, and. a set of American card players who bill themselves as the four aces. The "human cards" will get employment in the finals of the 12-day ourney, to be held December 23 in the Garden. The sandwich men will depict the play--doubtless as thousands cheer--by walking to the cen- er of the big table when they are "played." Each set of four "cards" will fall down and be raked, to one side when a trick is taken.

The actual players will be in two glass booths, one on each side of the stage. I like that falling down part. Jacobs and Johnston probably have the connections, too, to obtain good reliable fallers-down. Let unknown Winston stay down there In Tampa; we'll get 52 divers here in New York, who can flop down on the card table with neatness and dispatch. And then be raked to one side.

"It's a wonderful thing what two men with imagination and courage can do to develop a card game." I remember once talking with Ely Chdbertoson, the half-Russian gamb- er and mathematician who helped base Mah Jong out of the American. room with this same game. He escribed its appeal thusly: "Bridge," yawned the caustic card ritic from the Caucasus, "is an from reality." If the Oulber.tson bridge was an, escape," then the Jacobs-Johnston ariety is a clean, getaway, with the rison gates swung wide open and he departure achieved-in style and grandeur--in the warden's limousine. They'll go far, these two-Jacobs, the former peanut butcher who represents the Twentieth Century club and its valuable property, Joe Louis, and Johnston, the "boy bandit" of the Garden, to control of the fight lights of Heavyweight Champion James 3. Braddock.

By GEORGE KIBKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Dec. the bitterest battle in the 47-year history of the Amateur Athletic Union, that body, officially went on record today as favoring participatic-n in, the. 1936 Olympic games at Berlin and adjourned its convention tonight with harmony apparently once more restored to its ranks. The anti-participation f01 ces finally were defeated when a resolution, introduced by Supreme Court Justice Aaron Steuer of New York, delegate from the Jewish welfare board, asking that a commission of three- be sent to Germany to investigate conditions, lost by the slim margin of to HURLBERT MAKES PLEA Victory, for the faction, favoring participation, apparently was precipitated by Judge Murray Hurlbert, former president of A.

A. U. who made the key speech for the pros. "We can't expect to govern, athlete's if we canU govern ourselves," said Hurlbert. "We should put no stones in the way of our -athletes going to Berlin.

I voted as a member of con.gT.ess to send our- boys to Germany in 1917, and I vote now to send! them to and I don't, think we should hamstring any members of the American Olympic committee by resolutions. If it is found at the winter games that Germany violates any Oly.pmic code, we should withdraw from the. We should.let our athletes and the newspapermen; decide whether we receive just treatment at the winter games. They will know." COST OF TRIP PUZZLES After Judge Hurlbent's speech -Charles L. Ornstedn, New member of the executive committee, with drew his resolution against sending a team, to Berlin.

Then Judge Steuer made his resolution which would send a commission of, to Germany to investigate conditions. One of the principal objections to Steuer's resolution was -Che 'matter of'-' -funds to the commission's expenses. It was pointed out that the A. A. U.

couldn't supply the money. Defeat for the antis swept Ma- hc-ney out of the presidency, but a battle over this office might have been staged had not Mahoney himself refused to corisider candidacy for any office of the A. A. U. QUITS PRESIDENCY "I am willing to bow to the will of the majority," said Mahoney.

"I am sticking by the A. U. and its officers. I believe the majority is wrong in this case, and I continue as-president of this organization or in any other office and give --my full-hearted; support." To replace Mahoney, the A. A.

U. cycled Avery who had served six terms as- president. TO CONTINUE FIGHT After adjournment, Mahoney issued an official statement in which he said that the battle- against America's participation' in the Olympic games at Berlin, must be continued "as the only way -to preserve the ROSE MAGICIAN By Jack Sordj DAME-11.

What the vote today means is simply that the American Olympic committee is afraid to face the facts.

Ifirpo's Ex-Manager Is Slain on Train BUENOS AIRES, Dec.

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent EOMPTON LAKES, Dec. Louis is quite amateurish in many of his ring maneuvers, Max Schmeling concluded today after taking his first peek at the Brown Bomber in action.

black Uhlan of the- Rhine, who formerly held the world heavyweight championship, gave off this somewhat surprising observation after watching the young Detroit negro. step seven rounds with five punch absorbers in. preparation for Friday night's bout with Paulino Uzcudun. It must have sounded like, treason to members of the Louis entourage w'hen Herr crystal- ized his. impressions of the dark angel whose last victims Primo Camera, King Levinsky and Maxie Baer.

Right, in tho livirrg room at Joe's training quarters-right in tljs hear.t of the Louis shrine, the teuton schlager bore down on Joe's mistakes and lack of boxing "Now dot I've seen box, 1 think so more dan before dot I've got a very good chance to beat him--if we fight maybe," Maxie said. "Oh--yah; yah! He iss a goot prospect--the best I've seen- in years. But he iss not -the finished frghter yet. No! No! Not yet. He make mistakes.

Und against a' goot quick boxer who poonche-s hard und sharp, Joe finds everything different. Yah--?" The dark-haired, husky in the double-breasted gray suit, stood the big-living room table, like a berr direktor, and. dictated and dictated his. impressions to a flock of, boxing writers. He spoke in gut- teral, broken English and he could not' find words to scribe properly all of Joe's takes.

However, he did point out what he considered Joe's most glaring and probably most error. He charged, that Joe did not protect his chin and face properly when coming in close to an. opponent. Maxie moved in close on his own manager, Joe to illustrate his point. "You see he keeps his hands down like diss," Maxie said.

"He shouldn't do dot because now I could be hit quicker dan I could hit him. Maybe so he doesn't do it in a real fight--maybe just because he know his partners couldn't hurt him. I dunno, but it don't look good." The "German Dem-psey" was ndt all hia And they cast sort of a wet blanket on an- otherwise glorious day--a day that saw camp flooded with visitors, whites, and negroes, and saw the indoor gymnasium jammed with more than. 500 spectators during the workout.

But, if rumors that have circulating among members of the hol- sto.ve league mean, anything, there are going to. be some fine, bargaihsi in Experts upon, the mid-winter meeting, a market for. diamond stars, as well as a general get-together of baseball men.

Jimmy Foxx of th Philadelphia Athletics may go traveling 1 'after the Rumor haa had him sold to Chicago, traded to Boston, stolen by New York, and borrowed by St. Louis, but his boss, Connie Mack, says that he is going to remain tethered in Philadelphia. Hot-stove' leaguers, though, expect he will be involved in some kind of deal during, the conference. 'There are a few other Athletics' stars who have been mentioned as among those who may be crated and 1 shipped to some outpost. Among them are Roger Cramer, Eric McNair, Pinky Higgins and Johnny Marcum.

Al Simmons of th Chicago White Sox is another star mentioned as a possible and likely bait for traders. That is, unless he has already been sold to Detroit. That is the rumor, but it not only has remained unconfirmed, but; denied. The "acquisition of Simmons by the. Tigers would be a strategic move, especially if the Red Sox and Yankees go in for a stronger combination.

Boston's Braves, now under the protecting wing of the National league since running into financial difficulties, may have a offers to make in the way of good players for money and less expensive diamond-men.

The Saints scored in the second period on a 07-yard run by Hugh Sill and twice In the final quarter-- first. on a five-yard plunge by Herb Schrelber and second, on a Bass to Kallman on Wio. last play of tho game. OBKGON CltlPPLED Crippled by injuries to fir.st-.striiiK players, and without Frank power-house of their attack, the Oregon Wcbfeet could do little on lack. They gained only two first downs, one in the second period and the other in the final quarter.

Not once did they threaten to score on Slip Madigan's powerful line-up. It was St. Mary's sixth win in tho seven Union (he two teams have met. The score was the most lopsided since the 1929 game, won by St. Mary'K by a 31-C score.

LINEUP CHANGE COSTLY Saints attacked constantly today but great punting by Stan Rlordan, Oregon end, and' stubborn line play led by Ross Cartsr held back the Madigan men until near the close of the period, The coach, Prince Callis'on the Webfoots made what turned out to be a costly change in his lineup. Taking out Rlordan for a rest, he sent in Bngslrom, a tackle, to play right end and moved Wilson to left. Before Engslrom was St. 'Mary's threw a play at him. MJEISTER'S KICKS FAIL Sill boomed toward the rignt xide on- a reverse, found a hole inside Engstrom and streaked through into (lie open space beyond the scrimmage line.

Cutting to (he center of the field nnd supported by splendid blocking, Sill galloped 07 yards to a touchdown. Meisler, St. Mary's tackle, missed the try for point.
