THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO! NE 30, 1929_PART 5. Fight Experts Have Great Difference of Opinion as to Ability of Schmeling . 48 Pijeoiss in Ruici: F e | geons in Race From Havana in Which There SPARROW MGANN GIVES MAX PRAISE Held Most Serious Foreign % Threat in Heavy Class in Modern Boxing. BY SPARROW McGA: EW YORK, June 29—Max Schmeling stands out &s the most serious foreign threat American _heavyweigits have ever known since the advent of boxing with padded mitiens under the Marquis of Queensberry rules. Not that Schmeling measures up to the men this country has put forth as cham- pions in the past. But the German shapes up as good if not better than we have to offer at the present time. The trouncing he gave Paulino Uzcudun this week blazoned Schmeling's name on the list of those who aspire to the throne vacated by Gene Tunney In every move Schmeling looked like a champion. end unless Jack Sharkey can ghow a better brand of milling than he displayed against Tom Heeney and Young Stribling, it is dollars to dough- nuts that Schmeling will beat him end carsy the world heavyweight title over the seas for the first time in the history of boxing. Just how good was Schmeling in hi fight with Paulino, any one who can meet the Basque at his own unorthodox style of milling and beat him, meet him toe to toe, take his heftiest swings and come back with straight punches must assuredly measure up to the best tradi- tions of fighting men. Dundee Changes Tune. The mastery of Schmeling's work caused many ejaculations of sheer de- light from the lips of oldtimers. Johnny Dundee sat beside this writer at Yan- kee Stadium and during the early rounds vouchsafed the opinion that any one of the white hopes who aspired to the title could beat him. But as the fight wore on, Johnny changed his tunc. Schmeling piled in and fought Paulino head to toe, sending in his sheets to the body. ‘During the early rounds the fight was 8 poor affair with little damage. But as the battle went on and the weight of Max's blows began to tell. Paulino straightened up and Schmeling began to score with short right-handers to the | S head and jaw. Then Dundee began to chuckle as he watched a comparative youngster utilize the tricks of a master. “He's u fighter, that fellow, and 1 would be willing to predict he will be the next heavyweight champion,” was Johnny's enthusiastic comment. Well, Johnny knows his game and he was not far from wrong. Many who saw the German upset ail the dope by | 24 B beating Paulino in handy fashion are willing to subscribe to Johnny's opinion. The thing that made Schmeling look £0 impressive in winning over the more experienced and lusty swinging Paulino was the manner in which he accom- plished his feat. Max was told to lay off the pace and fight Paulino at his awn game. It is hard for a young fzl- low to follow instructions. Max did and showed his greatness thereby. Shows Good Judgment. ‘When he had worn down Paulino, Max took the play into his own hands, shed punches like a veteran and opened up a rapid-fire attack that socon took the sting out of Paulino’s best blows. He rippsd and slashed Paulino with a ‘cruel left hook, hit him high upon the temple with a.crushing right and wound up by belting the redoubtable Basque with a series of lefts and rights around the eyes. That was the only opening Paulino presented until the closing rounds, and Schmeling more than made up for lost time in the two closing ses- sions. Schmeling has had but five fights In this country. In each of them he has shown an amazing grasp of the tech- nique of the game. Idlcness does -not seem to affect him. He studies new blows and seemingly perfects them. for when he is called upon to deliver them de doss so with grace and eclat. The German Jack Dempsey has three months before he will 'be called upon to fight Jack Sharkey for what will be billed as the heavyweight championship of the world. Unless Sharkey shows to better advantage than he has in the past it is certain that Schmelihg, having | studied more and better moves, wiil emerge the winner. Schmeling fust now stands at the peak of the fistic world and is destined to clinch his leadership by winning over Jack Sharkey and possibly Jack Dempsey, if the latter de- cides to make a come-back. —_—————— LAUNCHING SUMMER PLAYGROUND SPORTS An extensive Summer athletic pro- gram will b launched tomorrow by the Municipal Playground Department. when tennis tournaments for girls and boys will start along with elimination track and field meefs for girls and boys.

The fish taken varied in size from 2 to 12 inches. ‘This should discourage others in that locality from violating the law.
