Jacobs Denied Reinstatement for Schmeling Louis Bout
New York state athletic commission refused Joe Jacobs reinstatement allowing him to work in Max Schmeling's corner for tomorrow's heavyweight title bout with Joe Louis. The ruling stems from Jacobs suspension tied to Tony Galentos training breach, with no explanation given. A separate gloves dispute forced Schmeling and Louis to use New York manufactured gloves stuffed with curled hair. A contract-signing meeting for a September title rematch with Max Baer was announced for Thursday. Weigh-ins at Madison Square Garden shift to 12 noon due to funeral services for Dan Skilling.
