One thing is apparent in the ox- ing game--the bigger the promoter, the bigger the headaches he has to suffer.

Ask Mike Jaculs, the greatest per sonality in American Astic circles since Tex Rickard. "Uncle Mike" is as shrewd as any man in sport, but he cannot avold problems which give ontl restless him irritating days nights.

It might be thought that since Jacobs has signed up Joe Louls, the Detroll negro, and Max Schmeling. uf Germany, to fight for the heavy- weight championship of the world in June 22. he has New York nothing to do but lean back and drear of a million dollar gate.

There is nothing so casy as this in Jacoba has the life of a promoter. to consider the question of an anti- Nazi 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,

CHINESE CONTINUE SERENE PATH IN TENNIS LEAGUE Score Another Victory At Expense Of Recreio

Even without the services of Taui Wai-pai, the Colony cham- pion, the Chinese R.C, were able to beat the Club de Recreio fairly comfortably by 5% acts 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, Witle Hung teamed up with his old partner, Ho Ka-lau; but the com- bination was not very successful, 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 right manfully. In the course of their three sets, they dropped unly all a point, rather surprisingly to A, V. Gosano and F. J. Remedios, who lost their other two nets. Noi only by the results of their games be the best could they be said to pair on view; by their play also they could lay claim to this distinction.
