Schmeling Ships Out for U S Exhibition Tour
German heavyweight contender Max Schmeling sailed from Cherbourg aboard the Berengaria for the United States where he will headline an exhibition tour across 22 cities. He has a June 3 title fight contract with Jim Braddock and may ask the New York Boxing Commission to vacate Braddock's title if Braddock refuses to honor the agreement. Dennis Scanlon, an American steel mill operator, is in Germany attempting to arrange a Berlin bout and plans a Amsterdam-based corporation to finance Braddock’s $250,000 demand by selling tickets outside Germany. The New York Boxing Commission meets today but is unlikely to act until Schmeling’s status with Braddock or Louis is clarified.
