MANAGER UP FOR FRAUD

Barcelona, June 21, Max Schmeling will never again fight in a Spanish ring no matter how attractive the purse offered.

So he asserts, and his redoubta- Įble manager, Jos Jacobs, echoes the assertion in emphatic terms.

The pair arrived at this conclu- sion after the 12-round match with Uzcudùn on May 13 was declared a draw decision which even many of the pro-Paolinoites had to admit was charity to their favourite,

Schmeling cut the rugged- Basque to pieces'with reking' lefts, and in the opinion of most of those present won at least eight of the 12 forv rounds.
