CHIEF DOUBT ABOUT MAX IS HIS ABILITY TO TAKE IT ‘ Tom O’Rourke, Veteran Authority on Boxing, Is of Opinion That if Fight Goes Limit, Ger- man Should Outpoint the Basque. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. ; I AKEWOOD, N. Tunney’s at Stroudsburg—while sprawled on one of the two beds. A fine and leasant looking chaj J., June 25.—Max SIeg)l‘ried Adolf Otto Schmeling, with his white shirt open to show t his throat, leaned against the dresser in his room in the cot- tage on the Dwyer estate—a rocm somewhat reminiscent of e brown, strong column of his acting manager, Joe Jacobs, is this Schmeling. He is over 6 feet in height, thin flanked, slim wa&ted strong shouldere®, with live enger eyes, a courtecus manner and a surprising command of the %ush language. He was born near Berlin, where his younger her is agent for an automobile manufactured by General Motors of Germany, and, had he been born sooner, it would be easy to have visioned his dark hair covered by a helmet and his straight ngure in uniform. He would have made a swell Prussian guardsman of the type the old Fredrick delighted to chuck under the chin. This, by the way, is ‘what Max intends to do to Senor Paulino Uzeudun—chuck him under the chin with the knuckles of a right hand. “Yes, I have seen him.” said Schmel- ing. “A tough fellow, but I think I shall beat him. I shall do my best. Yes, I think that I shall knock him out. How will I fight him? I do not know. It will depend upon circumstances— upon many mmg “I have thought much of this fight. I have not one plan. I have many plans—all depending n%on what takes place in the ring. If I hit him soon, it may be a short fight. If not, I can wait until I see my chance. I am in good mg: T feel well. cause he covers up so much, Paulino may perhaps be hard to hit, but he must uncover to do any hitting himself. I do not think he hits so hard. His body is big, but his arms are no bigger than mine. Yes, I think I shall win.” “And if you do win, what then?” I asked him. you may go into business with your brother.

When he stands ht and shoots that right full len he reminds you strongly of Dempsey. He can deliver a flurry of short punches faster than any heavy- <wweight I remember. Schmeling has tried to copy Demp- sey's weave, but the result is more of a swa, ‘motion. Dempsey could weave and come u&hmln. Max straightens’ and then h is straight left leaves him wide open for a right to the body, and with his slim waist I don’t lu-mw how well he can take body punches. But Paulino’s best hand is his left. He never has shown any great right-hand body punches.

Up 1n New York today, as Gene Larkin tunes up his strokes in prepar- ation for the national open champion- ship to start over the Winged Foot course on Thursday, a little sorrel- topped lad, wearing a pair of shoes a size too large for him, and with freckles bursting through the tan on his happy face, follows Larkin about. “You didn't hit that one so well, Gene.” And STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE ished one-fourth of the entrants will be drawn by lot and the player with the best score against par will be de- clared the wi.nner of the tourney. Clark Griffith, owner of the ‘Washing- ton Base Ball Club, had the laugh yes- terday on Ed Eynon, secretary of the club, and E. M. Wallace, as the other two strove to match his iron shot from the shelter of the porch at Columbia yesterday. These three were part of & group walting for the rain to cease early yesterday afterncon, and Wallace said: “Griff, do you think you can knock a ball onto that putting green over near llu seventeenth tee?” “Think I can, ow I can,” said the confident Grifith. And so he took a e iron and knocked the ball within 4 feet of the pin. The others tried and couldn't get the ball on the green. “All you fellows lack is con- trol,” said Grifith, “You'veg ot the brute strength.” Jimmy Powers, who has been playing golf as a professional around Wash- ington for several months, has been as a prize winner in the recent tourney of the National Press Build- ing at Congressional. Jimmy did a 78 in the tourney last Friday, to win the gross prize and tie for one of the net prizes. But some one whispered to the committee that Jimmy is a professional, and the committee, in solemn conclave mwrdt!. ruled that he could not win in an amateur competition. So Jll'nmy was left out in the could. He claimed that no restrictions as to ama- teurism were placed on entry in the tournament and that he has not been employed by a club for some time, al- though he has not been reinstated as an amateur golfer.

Harry Pitt admits he couldn't get along at Chevy Chase without Danny Burton to advise him what to do. 8o does Gene Larkin, So when Gene Lar- kin left the Capital a few hours ago for the tortuous mazes of Winged Foot, with him went Danny Burton. Danny did not go as a caddie, Not for him the rare privilege of carrying Gene Larkin's bag. For the United States Golf Assoclation has forbidden the importation of caddies from other clubs and other cities, and has issued the edict that all caddies used at W!nM Foot must come from Winged Thhhlcustomthlthnbeenlnuu at national championships for several years, but it is tough on Danny, Lar- kin, however, felt t the lad’s advice as to the choice of clubs and playing of shots would be valuable in the open, so he took him along in the role of adviser. And it may be ventured there isn't a prouder kid anywhere in Westchester County today as Danny Burton tru along behind Gene ‘Larkin, advis! here, chiding there and constantly pushing Gene into the frame of mind where he will make & showing. The value of & familiar face at the big champlonships ecannot be over- emphasized. Bob Barnett knows that. So he and Gene pitched in and pufl the youngster's expenses, so Gene might benefited. Danny Burton is Harry Pitt's lP!clll caddie whenever the former Midatiantic title holder enters an event he wants to win. He has caddied for Pitt in the last two Chevy Chase invitation tourna- ments, both of which Pitt has won. And it is recalled that Pitt relied on the youngster's judgment in the choice of clubs even more than he relied on his 3:’1‘:‘ guess. What Danny says goes with Danny Burton is & student at St. Paul's School and is something of a golfer himself. On rare occasions, when the course is not crowded, some of the caddies are permitted to play at Chevy Chase. And Danny has gone around the course in 81 strokes, which is not so bad for a youngster who does not get much chance to play, what with bag toting and advising potential tour- nament winners. Bob Barnett fitted him out with a pair of black and white spiked lo" s, & size too big for him. Some one gave him a golf nelkr. ‘which fits a bit better.

Burke of Westport, Conn., may not win the national open golf thampionship at the Winged Foot Club at Mamaroneck, N. Y., this week—in fact the odds are | rather more than 50 to 1 against it— | but he needs to do no better than he has done in practice to be well up among the leaders. ‘The young Connecticut pro, who dis- tanced the fleld in winning the 72-hole New York State open last week, toured around the rugged Winged Foot lay-out yesterday in 70, and then, to prove that it was no fluke, he went around again in exactly the same figures. It might be mentioned here that pafior this dif- ficult course is 72—36 out and 36 in. It does not take a lot of figuring to calculate that four rounds of 70 would make a total of 280 strokes. Experts have figured that 296 or a stroke or two [ EW YORK, June 25.—One Billie | _M¢ more will be :ood enough to win the open this year. If they are right Burke has a lot of margin to work on. On the other hand, the 70s of prac< tice become the 80s of actual champion- ship competition, when youngsters and s | veterans alike emrs wide open under the flerce strain. Nobody is hastening to_concede the crown, now worn by Johnny Parrell, to Burke just because of a pair of 70s, but, on the other hand, the experts are not ignoring the West- port youth either.

Unlike the men’s public links event, this tournament is open to all women residing in the District and suburbs, r¢ gardless of their possible club affili: the committee in charge. | Entries closed yesterday, it i8 under- stood, the list having been posted several wecks ago at both the Rock Creek and East Potomac Park courses. Graham plans to make the event the outstanding golf feature for women in this vicinity, both from the standpoint of quantity and quality and to en- courage the play of novices as well as experienced players, with the aim of developing latent talent which he de- clares abounds among the feminine club wielders. Entry List Gratifying. ‘The large entry list is looked upon as an indication of the rapidly increasing | popularity of the game among women | and of their increasing confidence in their individual ability as well.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, June 25—Paulino Uzoudun and Max Schmeling, rivals in the season's most im- portant heavyweight joust, have come to the end of their long training grind and are waiting patiently for the bell that will send them forth on the first round of their 15-round battle at the Yankee Stadium Thursday h nl.wllh the fight still three dllrkl lwly. sponsors of the annual charity boxing show have that receipts already have $300,000 mark. Forecasts o of $600,000 have been made. Both the “German Dempsey” and his Spanish woodchopping rival have reached top form and will take it easy for the next few days at their training c'mln.pn ':n Lakewood, N. J., and Hoosick Despite Schmeling's fine record in this country, the betting gentry per- sist in placing him on the short end of the betting at odds of 6 to 5. They figure that however hard the Teuton can hit he does not figure to stop the rushes of a Paulino who has sampled the hitting capabilities of the best heavyweights in the business without so much s a single wince. Proponents of the Spaniard figure he will be outpointed for the first few rounds, but that he soon will begin to slow -the German down and come on to win either the decision or by a knockout, possibly within eight or nine rounds. Certainly the longer distance is an advantage to Paulino rather than Schmeling, for me ‘woodchopper appar- muy has unlimited stamina. Schmel- ing has yet to prove whether he can take & steady beating around the body and stand up under it. Paulino essen- tially is & body puncher. He wraps his fists around his head and bores in. Once in close quarters he batters away at an opponent’s ribs with ‘short left hooks and loops over an occasional right. The Spaniard is not a danger- ous puncher, but he hits hard enough to unearth the weakness, if any, in Schmeling’s armor. Priends of the German star, however, belleve that even Paulino will find that he cannot stand up under Schmeling'’s s.hofl but pile-driving rights. There have been rumors that Schmeling has added an effective left hook to his repertoire of punches, but that remains to be seen. He has been a one-hand fighter in ell of his bouts in this country.
