Schmeling Faces Dilemma After New York License Revocation
Max Schmeling, the German heavyweight, must choose among three options after the New York state athletic commission revoked his boxing license. He may fight outside New York, accept a bout with Phil Scott as demanded, or retire. The action also stripped managers Joe Jacobs and Billy McCarney of licenses, and threatens Madison Square Garden’s plans for a Schmeling versus Sharkey match until Schmeling agrees to fight Scott for Humbert J. Fugazy. The commission warned the Garden against arranging the Sharkey bout before Schmeling fulfills his contract with Scott.
