Sensational Charge Made Against World Champion
Asbury Park, N.J., June 14.
A bomb-shell was dropped to-day by Joe Jacobs, manager of Tony Galento, who has been matched with Joe Louis for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world.
Jacobs charged that Louls had a "gimmick," a small metal dumb-bell, grasped in his right glove on the night that he knocked out Max Schmeling in their return fight.
For this reason, he said, he would ask the New York Boxing Com- mission for permission to examine the Brown Bomber's hunda between rounds in the Louis-Galento fight, which is to take place on June 28, United Press.
ALLEGATION DENIED Pompton Lakes, NY., June 14. The trainer, Jack Blackburn, who was in Joe Louis's corner on the night he knocked out Mox Schmeling, denied Jacobs's allegation. He said "the only things Joe had in his gloves tint night were his fists, That was all he needed."-Unlted Press.
