SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1929. SPORTS. 47 Schmeling and Paulino Have Failed to Make Impression in Training Camps Marty Gallagher’s Good Work “Is Grei Help to Schmeling NEITHER DISPLAYS CALIBER EXPECTED Loughran, in Sizing Up Foes, Says Both Will Be Fit for Contest. BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN, Middle Heavyweight Champion of the World EWSPAPER observers at the| training camps of Paulino Uz- cudun and Max Schmeling have not been particularly im- pressed by the form shown by | either since they started workouts for | their fight. The opinion seems to be unanimous that they have not been nearly as good as expected. Lots of people make the mistake of astimating a fighter on what he shows in the gymnastum Boxing a sparring partner, wearing heavy gloves and head-guards, is entirely different from getting into a ring with an opponent of equal ability who has light gloves | on his fists and intends to do a lot of damage with them | Paulino Not Showman. Paulino, for instance, never was a showman in the that he boxes prettily. He plunges in with his up before his face, and when enough begins to pummel av urally, against sparring p style makes him look bad. He isn't in there to hurt them. and fellows with a good left, like Benny Touchstone, can jab and step away without suffering any damage. There are certain things every man wants to practice in training—a pet punch, a shift, or something of the sort. He keeps working on them. He isn’t bothered because a sparring part- ner lands on him while he 1s practicing. Maybe he looks bad to the spectators, but it isn’t part of his job to get the visitors in his camp excited. He has a lot bigger task ahead of him. Paulino, of course, is a more ex- perlenced ringman than Schmeling. He has been in the game quite a while, and has faced many more dangerous Tivals than the young German. He has gone against all styles, from giants like Harry Wills and George Godfrey to light, fast men like Jack Delaney He isn's a fellow who adapts himself to conditions as quickly as Schmeling, per- haps, but his experience, strength and ability to take punishment without wilt- ing are certain to be big factors. To Make Choice Later. At this moment I am not picking Paulino to win. I'l make my choice a little later. My principal point is not_to take training reports too seri- ously. Gene Tunney looked pretty bad at_Stroudsburg before his first match with Dempsey. Mickey Walker is an unimpressive gymnasium fighter. There are dozens of others—darned good fighting men, too. Both Paulino and Schmeling have been working hard and steadily, They are certain to be in excellent physical condition for the contest, and physical condition will play a very large part in | deciding the victor. | (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alllance.)

J, June 20—A change of sparrmg partners and the riddance of the clumsy efforts of King Solomon and Walter Sills to avold punishment, worked wonders in the form displayed by Max Schmeling. This was due to the smarter boxing displayed by Marty Gal- lagher and the bulling rushes of Ger- many Heller. Now that the hard work is behind him Schmeling plans to rest up for the rest of the week and then top off his work by putting in hard licks dur- ing the early part of next week. A day in seclusion from prying eyes and Max will be ready when the gong sends him into action against Paulino on Thursday. Considering the many things that have cropped up to annoy the other- wise quiet German, Schmeling is in form. in a measure is due to the foresight of Joe Jacobs, who has seen to it that the name of Bulow, Schmeling's discarded manager, has not been mentioned when it was possible to tip off the visiting newspaper men and others around camp, and the many in- vitatlons tendered the youngster from the left bank of the Rhine. Keeping Schmeling's mind free from petty an- noyances has given the fighter a chance 'f,‘iu?b;u:ms‘gn );:ltythw".h his work so y e flatlan has not been a grind. ey Would Have No Alibl. Max Schmeling has worked hard. There is no doubt about that. If he can retain the peak he has reached he can be depended upon to put u hard fight, and if he is genwnpb; Paulino it will be just because the B‘:fi“?}s‘uslfhl ‘.I‘)ewer man. when a big bout is - ing, former and present stars ollmt‘ge fistic world have not been a bit bash- ful about coming out with their opin- lons as to form and the chances of the opposing battlers. At first Schmel- ing was given a chance solely upon the power of his right hand punch. Now after working with a smart youngster, Marty Gallagher, the critics, self called, have had a change of mind. Schmeling’s chances look brighter at the present writing than at any other | W. Arnoid, time since he pitched his camp on Bill Dwyer's estate, and those who have heard the learned words of the sharps | Le: are beginning to peel off the rubber bands of the bank rolls, and the result has been an upward trend in Schmel- ing’s price. By ring time it is expected that the chances of the battlers will be even in the betting. Brothers Do Well. Before Schmeling puts away the gloves for good he will get a chance to try a variety of blows on the brothers, Andy and Leo Mitchell. le the boys, sponsored by Jack Kearns, have not set the world afire, it must be admitted that for the short rring sessions with 12-ounce mittens one would have to go far afleld to find better “mfi partners than these same Mitchel boys. Andy is a plunging courageous fight- er and does not react to a punch in the same manner Solomon or Sills did. Andy will come back fighting and has to be laid low before he can be counted out of it. Leo, on the other hand, mixes more science with his work and is a bit faster afoot. This will enable Schmeling to practice his left hooks on a weaving object and shorten his right crosses as the occasion permits. Schmeling is indeed fortunate in curing Marty Gallagher and the Mitchell boys even at this late stage of his training. There is a saying that one workout against a good man is better than a dozen against a stumble-bum. (Copyright, 1920.)

Woodwi REGATTA IS LISTED ON RIVER SATURDAY Much interest is being manifested in the first of a series of motor boat re- gattas to be held on the Potomac Satur- day afternoon. There will be eight events including tests for both outboards and inboards. Applications for entry can be made until 1 p.m. o either through the racing committee at 1317 H street, or at the gate Boat- house at the head of the Washington Channel. At, a meeting of the executive board of the Chesapeake and Potomac Power Boat Association held yesterday a com- | mittee was appointed to investigate the feasibility of staging a motor boat show | in Washington this coming Winter. | Speaking of the appointment of the | committee Commodore Conrad C. Smith of the association, said: “One of the greatest aims of our or- ganization is to endeavor to educafe ‘Washingtonians to the joys of motor boating so that they may know the value of and cash in on their wonderful water course. A motor boat show will b;. we believe, a step in the right direc- tion. “The coming regatta in Washington Channel next Saturday, is being staged expressly with this idea in view. For that reason it is being held earlier than any regatta has even been. Once suffi- cient interest has been aroused it will be an easy matter to kill the old idea that the motor boat season is too short for the average man to enjoy because of the supposed large investment. A motor boat today costs actually less than a good car, and is very inexpensive as to upkeep. “That the Government has re ized the value of our undemkln;colgnwll— nessed by the fact that one of the Coast Guard vessels has been detailed to pa- trol the entire course during the regatta next Saturday to aid us.” JONES MISSES 65 CARD AS HIS PUTTING FAILS ATLANTA, June 20 (#).— Bobby Jones continues to have trouble with his putter. In a practice round the other day he turned in a 69 and bystanders said he might easily have made it 65 with the ald of a few putts. CONTROLS AMATEUR BOUTS.
