JOHN HENRY LEWIS UNDERGOES MEETING
OPERATION ON NOSE
London, Oct. 23.
John Henry Lewis, negro holder of the world cruiserweight title, has to undergo an operation for nasal trouble, and it is reported from Pittsburg that bo will be unable to undertake his proposed championship fight with Jock McAvoy at Wem- bley next month, writes Joe Bromley..
·
My information is that the fight was not definitely fixed for November, and that so far as the negotiations in this coup- try are concerned, the operation on the negro will make so difference..
It means, probably, that the con- test, if it is definitely signed, will be delayed until the beginning of the New year.
Lewis was heavily punished in a ight last Friday, and it is thought that this aggravated an Injury to the nose which he received in a contest last. August.
Two bouts which had been fixed tor Lewis, one with Hank Hankinson and the other with Arturo Godoy, have been cancelled,
NEUSEL IN BERLIN
Walter
Neusel arrived in Berlin yesterday, and declared that he wanted to fight Max Schmeling and hoped the contest could be arranged at an early dale.
fle said that his manager was ne gotiating for a return with Ben Foord; but it was Schmeling whom he wanted for his next opponent.
Schmeling has told Promoter Wal- ther Rothenburg that he could not accept November 14 as the latest date for a meeting with Neusel, and proposed December as he needed a strenuous prepatulion.
Maurice Strickland is waiting to hear of his next battle, and hopes that matters will be fixed over the
week-end,

The declaration by the British Boxing Board of Control to the effect that the world heavyweight cham- pionship title is vacant is not more fantastic than the demand of Tommy Farr for £10,000 to defend his British and Empire championships against Len Harvey at Wembley.
Farr has obviously returned to his country with certain definite ideas of his box-office value, but he would be a bold man who would be pre- pared to hand the Welshman cheque for the sum mentioned for
any fight over here.
Harvey, as the Wembley Stadium match-maker, opened negotiations with Farr, but he is not prepared to talk business on the terms mentioned by the British champion.
