| Show deakins speaking ne akins of sports jacobs brings farm system dyste M to fight game by ROBERT Alc mcshane SHANE MIKE JACOBS who UNCLE exactly grown poor in the boxing business has decided to borrow an idea from baseball and bring its farm system to the big league fight game of course uncle mike will be superintendent nerin perin of the cauliflower farm but will be aided and abetted by none other than benny leonard who will serve as chief scout coach czar and general organization man it so long ago that benny was commander in chief of the lightweight division hes a bit larger around the middle now but still has an eagle eye for ring talent and once the talent is unburied therell be minor league training and the promise of promotion to big time for the leather bossers who come through lin the chain system benny leonard the setup will be practically the same as in baseball except there will be no judge landis to serve as f inal final authority bennys bennas job will be to scour the hinterlands in search of promising youngsters and bring them to new york to get their start in a couple ot of minor league fight clubs that jacobs plans to open in the near future jacobs move on the surface at least seems logical if the present crop of hothouse heavyweight contenders had come up through ability instead of publicity interest in in the game would be much greater his farm system if properly conducted should eliminate the misfits and give real fighters a chance he has promised that any young unknowns discovered by leonard and sent to new york for try outs will riot 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 for himself and if the kids make good they will not have to fight exclusively for him the greatest sluggers in heavyweight history came from the crossroads jim jeffries from carroll Car roII ohio jess willard from inie mie diekan kan jack dempsey 51 manassa anassa colo and joe louis from montgomery ala perhaps another dempsey will be uncovered in the far flung search for talent if so jacobs and leonard should be
