JOE LOUIS TO RETIRE SHORTLY
Problems For Mike Jacobs
One thing is apparent in the box- Ing game-the bigger the promoter, the bigger the headaches he has to suffer.
Ask Mike Jacobs, the greatest per- nistic decles sonality
in American since Tex Rickard. "Uncle Mike" is as shrewd ng any man in sport, but ke cannot avoid problems which give restless him irritating days and nights.
It might be thought that since Jacobs has signed up Joe Louis, the Detroit negro, and Max Schmeling, of Germany, to fight for the heavy- weight championship of the world in June 22, he has New York on

There is nothing so easy us this in Jacobs has the life of a promoter.
to consider the question of an anti- Nozi boycott and the prospects of bad weather spoiling the show, but these are the least of his worries.
He has to make plans for some time ahead, and is greatly concerned about what is going to happen to the championship after June 22.

If he wins and retires there will a championship lying around Joase, and Jacoba will be without the best card he has had in his career.
What will happen it Schmeling wins is matter for conjecture at the moment, but folks on the other side of the Atlantic are not too confident that the German will remain in America In order to defend the crown in September.
They are figuring along the line that Schmeling, as the conquering hero, will return to the Fatherland and the title will be seen no more in the United States.

Score Another Victory At Expense Of Recreio
Even without the services of Tsui Wai-pui, the Colony cham- pion, the Chinese RC, were able to beat the Club de Recreio fairly comfortably by 5% sets to 3% in the "A" Division of the Tennis League yesterday. The match was originally arranged to be played at Causeway Bay, but by mutual agreement was decided at King's Park
In the absence of the elder Tsui, Willie Hung teamed up with his old partner, Ho Ka-lau; but the com- bination was not very juccessful, taking only one set.
It was left to the younger Tsui and Paul Kong to shoulder the burden for the Chinese, and this they did

Next to them come Luk Ding cheung and Lee Wal-long. A new Luk and Lee played well partnership,
