ENGLAND UNLIKELY TO SEE JOE LOUIS YET
Heavyweight Champion Too Busy At Moment To Cross Atlantic
There has been a swift and seemingly offec- tive reply to the story issued from New York by Joc Gould, American Manager of Tommy Farr, to the effect that a £30,000 offer had been made to Joo. Louis to defend his world heavy-weight crown against the Welshman in London during the
summer,
Mike Jacobs, America's ace promoter, de- clares that he has planned to match the winner of the Tony Galento-Louis championship battle on June 28 with the winner of the Lou Nova-Max Baer clash, scheduled for June 1, some time in September.

Minimum Requirements
For 1940 Games Violate Olympic Ideal
'Democratic Nature' Of Meet Threatened By New Ruling
Philadelphia.
Lawson Robertson, veteran coach of the University of Pennsyl- vania and America's Olympic track and field teams, declares the minimum qualifying requirements for the 1940 Games in Finland violate the Olympic ideal.
"The democratic nature of the Games" is threatened by stepped-up "arbitrary requirements which benefit large nations and squeeze out small ones," Robertson said.
"International amity' may sound airy, but it is what has been behind the Games,
"Every effort has been made t encourage every nation to compete. Now, with the stiffest requirements ever laid down, many small nations will not be able to send representa- Uves.
