climax tomc-rrow night in what promises to be a balmy, 51000000 set- l

32-year-old German challenger, may not crack any flstlc fgggrds “time” 1‘ 1"“ Whlluml the flxht faithful to a high emotional pitch cmtted more international sporting excitement and proved the biggest

IN THIS CORNER

With only the weatherman to be heard from. tonight's big heavy- wrieht battle in New Yorkbetween Joe Louis and Max Schmellng pro- mises to g0 over the million-dollar mark. A nattunl in every sense of the word tonight's fight hasn't nccded the old ballyhoo to build it

ll . p as + a r

Ever since the night two June's ago when Schmeling startled the fisllc world by knocking Louis out 1n twelve rounds. fans have been awaiting the return bout between the pair. Now the time for it has arrived and although Louis is not the overwhelming favorite he was two years ¢_'=',O nevertheless odds have swung in the Brown Bombers favor the past few days.

d-L *- + =l<

But can the voirnz nerro fighter overcome the memories of the beat- ing he took on the last occasion he met the German and can he bgat down the 510W, methodical Tellton. the only man to conquer him since he came into world-wide prominence?

But whichever one “inn-and this column likes Schmelings chances acain—it will overcome a Jinx that has been following title fights. First there is that ring in Ytiukcfi Stadium that as yct has to witness a champion defending his throne successfully That will be the cas! if Louis wins. And if the German comes through he will be the first heavyweight champion in history to regain the, crown.

.= -l- -l: ' One or the other so-called jinxes will be stopped tonight but what- evcr one it turns out to be. the thousands that will crowd into Yankee Stadium tonight will prob- ably see one of the most thrilling fights of all time. a battle that will rohably be a slashing. bloody one tween two men who are tops in the heavyweight division today. at: + + dc

Financial Success

No matter what the final tabu- lation shows. there will be no fin- ancial losses in the latest extrava- ganzaof the boxing industry.

1.101.115 was still a 1 to 2 snot w ufm. 111 the latest call-over of bei- ting odds. with 1'7 to 10 quoted against the chances that Schmcl- m2 would make ring history by becoming the first ex-champion to 1'€‘_'Bln the world heatjnvelght title.

Schmellngls return to pugllistic heights. after being rated a has- been. is one of the rings most dra- matic episodes. pirticularly as it was achieved at the expense of Louis.

Two years ago Louis was the reigning sensation. Jim Braddock had captured the world champion- ship. with a surprise victory over Max Baer, biit Louis was ratcd the “uncrowned king." Unbeaten. he was the beneficiary of an extrava- gant ballyhoo and build-up. in the course of which he was described as a composite of all the heavy- weight greats of the past.

Provides Upset

Then along came Schmcling. the supposed set-up. with a lethal right hand that smashed the myth of the Bombers invincibility, made the fight experts look foolish in- deed. and abruptly changed the heavyweight picture. Since that memorable night in the Stadium, the return match has been slowly. almost painfully. ln the making. In the interval. a year ago, Louis won the championship by knock- inz out Braddock. biit the ncgro himself was among the first to ad- mit. he could not claim undisputed supremacy unless he turned the

tables on his conqueror.

And so. to climax a few million words of argument and collect their share of nearly 51.000000, Max and Joe will climb into the ring tomor- rovg night to resume their personal dc

ate.

They're as fit and, from all last- minute broadcasts. as confident as two fighters can beunder the strain of furore and fanfare. Schmelinfl left his Spcculator, NY. cflmll 11115 afternoon for an undisclosed re- treat in or near the city. He will join Louis at noon tomorrow at Madison Square Garden for the official weighing-in.

Sizing Them Up

‘There's no tendency to under-rate the German or his chances but an explanation for restored confidence in Louis is not difficult to find.

The nelzrols backers feel that over-confidence, under-training and general inexperience contributed as much to hLs downfall two years ago as diid Schmellngs right hand punches. They insist he is a bet- ter fikhter now.

Undoubtedly Louis is a more rmngerous tire-handed hitter than Schmeling. It remains to be seen. however, whether his defensive equipment or his reaction. under hgavy fire, will carry him over the danger spots. The nsvchclurlval gnglg probably can be discarded. If

Kelly Hurls One - hitter Against Bees

Paddy Mailers single overshort in the seventh inning last night robbed Pete Kelly of a no-hit game in the City Softball league as his mates, pounding the ball to every corner of the lot walloped the luckless Bees 23-0 to inflict the second straight shutout de- feat on the north end team.

Pitching to only 32 menas he gave up two walks and saw his mates commit two errors Kelly was in brilliant; form last night. Only one man reached third base during the tilt and he was left stranded as the final batter of the inning was thrown out by the Indians hurler on a weak tap to the box. Kelly had six strikeout victims to his credit.

A 24-bit attack including three home runs. two triples and a double off two Bees hurlcrs made the grime safe forthe winners as early as the second inning as they pushed five runs across after scoring a brace in the opening frame. In every frame but the seventh they sent runners across thc plate and they wound up their heavy-hitting assault by scoring four times in their last. turn nt. the plate on four ringing basehits.

REMEMBER WHEN

(By The Canadian Press)

Joe Louis became the second negro to hold the world's heavy- weight boxing title when he bat- tered Champion Jimmy Braddock oft the throne he held two years. Staged at Chicago one year ago tonight, Braddock held the 29- year-old challenger on even terms for five rounds. He was knocked out in the eight round.

Prognosticator

(By Paul Mickelson, Associated Press Staff Writer)

NEW YORK, June 2l—Stranga;_ of all by-plays mixed up in the Max Sclilnehiig-Joe Louis Dally- hoo has a somewhat dizzy Jack Dempsey in ihe leading rule. S0 dizzy is the olzl Maliasa Mauler, in truth, that he'd like to be some- where east cf Suez ticoay instead of in his restaurant trying to ex- plain whom he picks to win the big brawl.

So far, Jack has picked Schmel- ing to knock out Louis and Louis to knock out Schmellng. He can't possibly miss unless the fight. turns out a draw.

Jack's troubles-mind troubles because thcyve got him boi-lng mad-are culargeable to a couple of ghost writers who saw a dollar. The ghost writers decided it would be a suell idea to write a maga- zine story under Jack's name tel‘.- ing the pub.ic who would win the fight-and how. Given to under stand by the ex-chalnp that he liked s.i1l'|‘l(‘i.l1;L. they went t0 work. wrote a stivell analytical story and sold it for some $450. The story appeared last Sunday.

Meanwhile, a sports wrller, dig- ging hard for new angles on the tight. did the natural thing in a cutch. l-lc would got Mr. Demp- seys version of the fig-ht. But as he reached Dcmpseys restaurant, pad and pencil in hand, he met one of the ghosts who told him almost all he tvanted to know- llow Jack had picked Schmeling and why. Just to be on the safe side, however, he phoned Demp-

they are

sey.

"I picked Sohmeling?" Dempsey yelped over the phone. "Who said I did; Think I'm crazy? Why. I can't pick him. Not that guy. Why he's an old man. He hasn't got a. chanse."

The sports writer's boss thought his man was getting a bit tetchcd in the head when he ordered the headline changed from “Dempsey picks Schmeling" to “Dempsey Picks Louis". But the story went out.
