Show speaking of sports jacobs brings bring as farm system tonight to fight game by ROBERT mcshane MIKE JACOBS who U UNCLE in exactly grown poor the boxing business has decided to borrow an idea from baseball an and bring r ng its s farm arm system to tte the big ig league fight game of course uncle mike will be superintendent perin of the cauliflower cd farm but will be aided and a abetted by none other than benny leonard who will serve as chief scout coach czar and general organization on man it so long ago that benny was commander in chief 0 of f the lightweight division hes a bit larger around th the middle now but still has an eagle eagle eye tor for ring talent and once the talent is unburied un burled therell be minor league training and the promise of premo tion to big time tor for the leath leathar or bossers who come through L in the chain system benny pg leonard the setup will be practically the same as in baseball except there will wih be no judge landis to serve as final authority bennys bennas lob job will be to scour the hinter hinterlands lauds in search of promising youngsters and bring them to new york fork to get their start in a couple of minor league fight clubs that jacobs plans to open in the he near future benny will be a busy man as he will run ran the two fight clubs and in addition hold classes for the young ring hopefuls jacobs move on the surface at least seems logical if the present C rop crop of hothouse heavyweight contenders conc had come up through ability instead of publicity interest in the game would be ba much greater me his farm system if 11 properly conducted should eliminate the misfits and give real figh fighters tirs a chance he has promised that any young unknowns discovered by leonard and sent to new york tor for try outs will not have to make the usual connections it will be possible for them to get their chances without signing over to auspices jacobs emphasized the fact that he seeks no new monopolies tor for himself and if the kids make good they will not have to fight exclusively for or him the greatest sluggers in heavyweight history came from the crossroads jim jeffries Jeff rles from carroll ohio jess willard from ale kan jack dempsey manassa colo colof and joe louis from montgomery ala they rely on conversation and ana publicity to reach the top perhaps another dempsey will be uncovered in the far flung se search ach tor for talent if so jacobs and leonard should be allowed to congratulate themselves the duke returns D DUKE uke kahanamoku lord high sheriff of honolulu most beloved man
