SPORTS. CHAMPION BEATEN WHENHE HTSLOW Is Felled Twice Before He Delivers Sweeping Blow Far Below Belt. BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY. DETROIT, July 26.—Jackie Fields, the sheik of Chicago, rules today as un- disputed welterweight champion of the world. Fields won the title last night, de- feating Joe Dundce, the title holder, on a foul, in the second round of the scheduled 15-round battle. Dundee, knocked down twice in the second round, cut loose with a sweeping right- hand punch that landed deep in the foul territory a minute and 55 seconds after the round opened. Fields collapsed on the canvas, rolled over three times in an attempt to get near his corner, but_was unable to regain his feet. Writhing in pain, Fields was dragged to his corner, but was suffering so in- tensely that he was unable to get on his chair and fell into the rosin. After physicians made an examination, the low blow was pronounced a foul and |. Fields was awarded the fight and the championship. Dundee Gets $50,000. Dundee was guilty of fouling after he had received $50,000 in advance for risking his title against the challenger. He was paid $10,000 at the time the match was made and got the remaining $40.000 before he entered the ring last night. Some of the skeptics advanced the opinion that Dundee fouled Fields when it was apparent he had no chance of winning and possibly would have been knocked out before the finish of the second round or, at least, the next one. The chin that absorbed Mickey Walk- er's punches and the battering of Pete Latzo was an open target for Fields' sharp right crosses and left hooks. Dundee started to sag under Fields' wallops in the first round and broke completely in the second. A few sec- onds after the second round opened, Fields sent a crashing right to the chin that dropped Dundee to the floor for a count of nine. There was little strength left in his wobbly legs when he regained his feet. He staggered for- ward and ran into another right-hand punch that landed on the peak of the chin. for a count of seven. When he got up he fell into the ropes and then cut loose with a terrific right-hand punch that landed low in the groin. Dundee claims the blow was unintentionally, but it is doubtful in the opinion of ringsiders whether he could have survived the round. After hitting the floor twice, Dundee appeared com- pletely bewildered and the sting was| out of his punches, He staggered around the ring like a drunken man after he fouled his youthful challenger. Just Does Make Weight. Dundee barely made the welterweight limit of 147 pounds when they jumped on the scales at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was drawn to the last class limit. He scaled about an ounce under the figure, while Fields weighed in at 145. To all appearances Dundee was forced to exert every effort to make the weight. ‘The Michigan Board of Athletic Con- trol, which governs boxing in the State, may find itself in the position of being unable to fine Dundee for fouling, as Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter of the contest, was forced to pay the champion his full guarantee of $50,000 before he pulled on the gloves. The boxing board may suspend Dundee, but may have its troubles in assessing a fine. The suspension probably woyld mean noth- ing to the ex-champion, who is reported ready to retire from the ring. Promoter Fitzsimmons opened nego- tiations today to match Jimmy McLar- nin, the baby-faced ex-lightweight, for a welterweight championship match with Fields early in September. The bout last night drew approximately 27,000 spectators, with net receipts around $125,000, a record breaker for welterweight competition, giving Fita- simmons the hope that a Fields-Mc- Larnin match would draw $150,000. BY JOHN J. ROMANO. DETROIT, July 26—Jackie Fields has established his right to the undis- puted leadership of the welterweight | division by winning on a foul from Joe Dundee in the second round of their &cheduled 15-round contest. It was & one-sided affair while it lasted and Dundee was being beaten to a frazzle ‘when two deliberate punches settled on TJackie's groin and rendered him helpless. Hopelessly outclassed from the start, Dundee's fouling was the most disgrace- ful exhibition ever given by a cham- pion in losing his title. The easy manner in which Fields handled Dundee convinced the experts at the ringside that a far better man now holds the 147-pound title. He is considered the best man of his weight ln’t\,h]ed:'ofld. le] will defend his title against Jimmy McLarnin in September. e HITCHCOCK WILL RACE JUMPERS AT SARATOGA NEW YORK, July 26 (#).—For the Arst time in several years Thomas Hitch- cock will race his string of jumpers at Saratoga next month.

Good Looks Come From Her Side of Family. . BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. Special Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily | News. . ERLIN, July 26.—“My son fur- nished all this*for me.” So the mother of Max Schmeling, th: 3 German heavyweight hope, greet- ed this correspondent and point- | ed to the pretty furniture and demrl-‘ tions in her flat in a western suburb | of Berlin. “Since my husband died two years ago,” Mrs. Schmeling continued, “I live | with my son and have no wish that he does not fulfill. I have had so much | misfortune in my life, especially when my daughter died a short while ago, but now my son does all he can to help me | forget unhappy days.” | Max's mother seems young and s good looking, with a family resemblance | to the prizefighter, and talks quietly and simply. Only Sports Adherent. “Yes, Max got his good looks from my side of the family,” she said. “His dark eyes, wavy dark hair and the shape of his face are mine. Probably his strength and stature come more from his father, but I gave him his tough- ness and energy. Max is the only mem- ber of the family who is gifted in sports. My other son, who is in the automobile | business, is very strong, but shows no| inclination for boxing, and his father, | as an employe of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Line in Hamburg, was certainly not | predisposed to sport by his office work. “Naturally Max had to begin his box- ing career when he was quite small and | | unknown, and we were absolutely | against his learning to fight. He was | 15 years old and an apprentice in an | advertising concern when he began to bother us by begging to have boxing les- sons. His father was absolutely against it, so Max appealed to me. I cannot stand violence and was afraid he would get hurt, but I finally let him go, with- out telling his father anything about it. “Later when he moved alone to western Germany he boxed in small clubs until finally in Cologne, when he was 17, he won several local prizes for fighting. He first became known in 1924 when he almost gained the Ger- | man middleweight title. I must say| that the more successful he became, the | more pleasure we took in his boxing. and I have learned that boxing has many valuable sides to it. Max let us | | share his victories from the very begin- ning. | | Divides With Her. “If T had to state what are his chief characteristics I would say love and feeling for his family.

Furthermore, he is open and | | always good humored and when he is| | home the house is full of people and sometimes it's pretty lively. But natu- | rally Max has to travel and works awfully hard. After all, he has a great goal before him. | “Max has written me that he has learned much in America and will learn | more,, and his goal is surely nothing less than the world heavyweight cham- Har Radistors and Cores in Stoek | Wittstatts, 1809 14th North 7177 Also 819 _13th. 5 Bloek Bel ..

Later on he used up 14 years of money and hard work trying to find one ballplayer as good as any one of the 5 named. He had good luck in one case and tough luck in another, for after 1914 any number of able- looking young stars insisted on blowing up with a crash. Foot ball is full of good breaks and tough ones.

This means once more a big, charging line and a great set of backs in Lumpkin, Mizell, Thomason and others. Knute Rockne of Notre Dame re- ports that he has better prospects for this season than he has known in two years. He believes he will once more have the reserve material his schedule demands. He has to play_every game away from home this Fall while Notre Dame is build- ing a stadium and among those he faces are Army, Navy, Georgia Tech, Southern California and three or four others just as tough. “I have lacked the reserve mate- rial for a hard schedule for two years,” Knute said, “but this time I believe I will have a good squad that can stand up under the pound- ing. The material looks better than it has in some time. Whether it works out after that fashion is another guess.” For Star and Duffer.
