Sensational B r o w n Bomber Signed By Jacobs To Meet For- mer Champion.

(By Poul Mlckeison, Associated Press Sports Writer) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

CHICAGO. Aug.‘ B-Joe Louis will throw his next assortment of fistlc bombs at the chin and frame of the former heavyweight king, Max Beer.

Less than 24 hours after he had scored his 20th consecutive ring triumph by smashing King Levin- sky into a helpless hulk here last night, the sensational Brown Bomber from Detroit was signed by promoter Mike Jacobs to tangle with the Livermore Lanuper at either New “York or Chicago the night of Sept. 26 or 27.

Jacobs immediately went on s. shopping tour with his prize match, which he figures should draw a gross gate of more than $250900.

Shrewd Promoter

Jacobs. one of the shrewdest pro- moters ln the game, had three al- ternatives. I-Ie could stage the fight in Chicago under the spons- orship of the Sporting Club of Ii- linols; he could run it at New York, probably at the Polo Grounds. under the sponsorship of the Twentieth Century Club of which he is promoter; or he could step out and do ft himself. the latter possibility was remote. however.

Louis, who in slightly more than n year has battered his way to be- come a dangerous contender for the title held by Jimmy Braddock, was elated with the news of the signing.

"I'll fight anywhere," he said- "I’ll lick Beer Just as easily as I licked the others."

Ancil Hoffman. manager for Baer, who watched Louis stop Lev- insky in two minutes 2i seconds, said he didn't ‘care where the fight was staged.

Schmellng Fight Off.

"Madison Square Garden has promised us a match with Max Schmellng, but I'm convinced that the German doesn't want any part of Baer. So we will take Louis in- stead." Hoffman said. "I think Max has an excellent chance of whip- ping Louis. He's the man that can do it if anyone can. Max's hands are not as bad as some folks think."

Madison Square Garden's option on Boer expired last midnight. A few hours later Jacobs had the necessary papers signed for the Beer-Louis match. No announce- ment was made as to the "out" of- fered the fighters. although their combined share will aggregate 50 percent of the net.

Holy Nome Club Falcons tackle the Holy Redeemer team it the Abegweit diamond tonight in the third last scheduled game of the league.

Island Hopes RestOnLadiesd’ Doubles Team

It is up to MlssEleanor Bourke and lvltlss Evelyn Sinclair to keep some of the Prince Edward Island open tennis championships in the Island this year. These two young ladies are the only Charlottetown players still remaining in the tournament being held on the courts of the local club this week.

Following yesterday's matches all the Island players were eliminated with the exception of the above two who won their way into the semi-finals of the womens doubles event late yesterday afternoon when they decisively defeated Miss Ors Davis. Ottawa, and Miss I... Wright. Charlottetown fl-0. 6-0.

After winning from Dr. Glddings and Miss Mutch in a thrilling three set scores of 7-5, 4-6. 6-1 Fired Kelly and lvliss D. Hearts were eliminated by Bobby Donahoe, Halifax. and Miss Betty Rogers, Charlottetown in straight sets 6-3. 6-3. Donahoe and Miss Rogers however later in the day were defeated by Mr. and Mrs. B. Piers, Halifax, but not he- fore they gave the Halifax team the scare of their lives. After losing the first set 6-4 Donahoe and Miss Rogers were down 5-0 but at this point they staged a. marvellous comeback which saw them win five straight games to tie the score 5-5. They dropped the next game but tied it again at 6-6. Piers then

proctded to break through Miss Rogers service to win the set 8-6 and the match in straight sets. Donahoe played a great game as did Miss Rogers while on the other side of the net Mrs. Piers gave her husband perfect support.

Don Gass and Miss Evelyn Sin- clair went down fighting to the strong Ottawa. duo Eddie Condon and Mrs. H. L. Beer in straight sets by scores of 6-0. 6-1 and thus the last of the Island teams in this event met defeat.

Ball As

In one of the best games of the season Perc McInnis‘ Stars last night turned back a determined Grocer team 4 to 1 in a City League Baseball League encounter played on the Abegweit diamond. a three‘ run rally in their last turn at hat giving the league leaders their mar- gin of victory.

The tilt was first and foremost a brilliant hurling duel between Goss of the Stars and Archie Mc- Faxlane of the Grocers. For seven innings the two mound artists sil- enced the enemy bats almost to a. standstill. Only one rim was scored in this stretch and it‘ was the Stars who held it as McFar- lane lost control temporarily in the second to let go a wild heave with a. runner parked on third after letting the same player go to sec- ond the same way. It was the only time either defence faltered with men on the paths, although it re- quired three fast double plays by the Grocers to pull them out of tlcklish situations on other occas- lOllS.

In the eighth however both boys wobbled slightly from the strain. McFarlane who had granted but one hit up to this time was found for four safe blows. two of them for extra bases and before the winners were retired there runners had crossed the plate to give the Stars a 4-0 lead.
