~ The Original Date ~
This bout was 'originally' set for Saturday - February 2, 1935.
It was billed as > 'The Broad-Backed Irishman' vs. 'The Minneapolis Hebrew'
But Art Lasky came down with the 'Flu' and the bout was postponed.
Earlier in January 1935, there was a 'concerted effort' to sign up Max Baer to defend
his Title against Lasky, as he was clearly 'ready' for a 15-Rounder. A March 1935 date
was planned.
Other Top Heavyweights were;
* Max Schmeling
* Steve Hamas
* Primo Carnera {former Champion}.
