TONY GALENTO'S BOXING MANAGER

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: Louis had a "gimmick," a sinal 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 suld, he would ask the New York Boxing Com- mission for permission to examine the Brown Bomber's hands between rounds in the Louis-Galento light, which is to take place on June 20.- United Press.

ALLEGATION DENIED

Pompton Lakes, N.Y., June 14. The trainer, Jack Blackburn, who was in Joe Louis's corner on the night he knocked out Max Schmeling, dented Jacobs's allegation. He said "the only things Joe had in his gloves that night were hils Asts. That was all he needed."-United Press.
