Muldoon Against Max. The Tunney-Muldoon Trophy com- mittee has not ruled officially on the question as to whether Schmeling's name will be inscribed below Gene ‘Tunney’s on the trophy. but there were strong indications that it would not. ‘William Muldoon, venerable boxing commissioner and joint donor with ‘Tunney of the trophy, announced his personal opposition to recognizing Schmeling, and Herbert Bayard Swope, another member of the committee, ex- pressed the opinion that the title should not pass on a foul, especially when the title is not actually held by one of the contestants. Swope sald he would ad- vocate at the committee’s forthcoming | meeting that the title be declared still open. At the same time Swope expressed a hope for legislation designed to curb | the fouls that have marred so many | recent bouts. He suggested that the fight be terminated and declared no contest when a foul occurs: that the party committing the foul be denied his entire share of the purse. The New York Staté Athletic Com- mission will rule officially on Schmel- ing’s status at its meeting on Tuesday and the National Boxing Associations membership will be polled by Presi- dent Stanley M. Isaacs before that or- ganization's views on the question are announced.

WOMAN NET CHOICE PLAYS MATCH TODAY Phoebe Moorhead and Sarah Moore were to meet this afternoon in the last quarter-final matcn in the Woma District Tennis League championship tournament on courts to be decided upon by the competitors ‘Two consolation singles encounters and a pair of doubies matches al<o were carded this evening, the scene of the contests to be arranged by the principals. Jesephine Dunham, City of Washin ton singles title holder; Francis Walker, runner-up to Miss Dunham in the City of Washington affair, and Ruth Mar- tinez yesterday gained the semi-finals. Miss Dunham 2 F D to the time of the infraction in the fourth round, the fact that he struck his_rival low is plainly apparent. The pictures show Sharkey dropping his rival with a fierce left uppercut which landed foul. The Boston heavy- weight is shown with his back to the ropes at the time, with Schmeling hardly two feet from him. As the German left lead, Sharkey unleashes the punch which ended the contest. This elicited & gasp from those in the audience. Then Schmeling goes limp and sinks Crowley over him. The bell then ends the_round. There follows a scene of general con- | JT seems that a young giant killer is | | being groomed to bigger and bet- I ter conquests on the golf courses of the South this year in the per- son of Billy Howell, the tall blond F. |lad from Richmond, who today is the | only man about Washington who has been able this year to win two major tournaments in a row within the short space of seven days. Not that Billy looks as if he might go as far as Bobby Jones has been able to travel, but if winning two big golf events against the sternest and best opposition the midatlantic terri- tory can produce means anything, we must concede that Howell is by way of becoming a giant killer or jabberwock, or whatever they call those fellows who refuse to take it on the chin. The young man appears to have cul- tivated the winning habit, as he showed yesterday at the Columbia Peacock of Indian Spring in the semi- final and then trouncing Paul J. Frt zell of Columbia in the final to win | his second major tournament in & week. Every one knows how Billy weded thorugh good opposition to win the | midatlantic title at Richmond a week ago today, and those who watched the youngster perform throughout the { Columbia tournament predict that w, will be even brighter in future rs when he learns that a missea shot is not necessarily a lost hole. Bad Shots Peeve Him. Just now the youngster is such a fine stylist and knows so well how a golf ball should be struck that when he half hits one, or it is not played exactly as he intended, he grieves. “Jones used to do the same thing, but Bobby got | over it when he learned that they all miss them occasionally and that a | missed shot is simply a challenge to come back with the winning effort. Billy is learning the same thing and | when he learns that lesson he will have gone a Jong way along the road to | greater golf glory than he yet has known. Next week the Richmond youngster is to make a bid for the Southern amateur golf title at Greensboro, N. C., and there isn't will be one of the formidable contest- | ants for the title. Another boy well | known to Washington golfers will be in there trying for the title, too, for Dick | | Wilson, Georgetown student and golfer, | also is an entrant | " Any lad who can win two big tourns ments in a Tow against such opposition as Howell had at Richmond and Co- | lumbia 1s good enough to win any sectional championship.

HICAGO, June 14.-— Fourteen horses—one figured to hlve“ just as good @ chance as any of the others—were named for the twenty-second running of Washing- | ton Park's American Derby and its $50,000 bag of gold today. No champlonship was involved in the blue ribbon event of the track’s meet- | ing, Gallant Fox having been with-| drawn, although the two outstanding | fillies, Snowflake of the East and Alci- biades of the West, had some unofficial superiority business to settle. The East- | ern filly not only was favored over Al- cibiades, but was considered a serious | contender for the big-money position. Gallant Knight, runner-up to Gal- lant Fox in the Kentucky Derby, was the overnight favorite, but Kentuckians gave Tannery support and the East time favorites. Gallant Knight and | Flyer, the Audley Farm entry, was a| 4-io-1 overnight favorite, with Snow-| flake quoted at the same figure and| Tannery at 8 to 1. The latter gained a big following by his easy victory in the | Derby trial Tuesday. Of the others named only Portman- teau, owned by S. M. Rosenheim, and C. B. Irwin’s General Jackson appeared | have no more than a ghost of & chance of winning. Neither has per- formed impressively this seasor. and were listed as probable scratchers. The other entrants were the Wheat ley Stable’s Hornpipe, J. A. Best' Revielle Boy, Xenofol, owned by G. A. Cochran; the Northway Stable's Plucky | Play, J. A. Pontius’ Michigan Boy W. 'S. Kilmer's Dark Sea and Ned O, third-place horse in the Kentucky Derby. Galiant Knight and Michigan Boy | were assessed 121_pounds, while Port- manteau, Flyer, Revielle Boy, Plucky | Play, General Jackson, Tannery, Ned O | and Dark Sea were called upon to carry | 118 pounds. Alcibiades and Snowflake were down for 116, while Hornpipe and | Xenofol have 114. Fillies seldom win big derby events. but Snowflake in such company rated | much consideration. She finished third | in the Preakness behind Gallant Fox | and Crack Brigade and won the Amer- ican Coaching Club Oeks at Belmont Park.

McCARTY, who distinguished himself as = pitcher at Georgetown Univer- sity, today became conspicuous in a different sort: of pitching role, McCarty was appointed the chief of ‘Washington's horseshoe pitchers.

Starting _on July 16, neighborhood championship tournaments will be held on all of the city’s playgrounds. These events will be under the general super- vision of McCarty, with a playground director managing each. The game itself and the handling of horseshoe tournaments was something new to the playground directors, many of whom are women, when The Star's event was held last year, and some had difficulty. MeCarty put on a corker at the Plaza playground and later ran off several of the important play-offs, em- bracing the champions and runners- up of other neighborhoods, in a man- ner that won the admiration of Mrs Rhodes and the assistant superintend- ent, Richard S. Tennyson. McCarty’s enterprise also won him a lot of work, it appeared today. Before the metropolitan tournament | th opens he will have personally instructed every playground director in the busi- ness of managing a tournament. Entries for Washington will close on July 9.

The Usual Arguments. HE number of arguments that follow every championship fight probably will be doubled in the wake of the Sharkey-Schmel- ing duel. This time there is no argu- ment left s to whether or not the punch was low. But & lot of buming oratory is being unleashed as to wheth- er Schmeling could have survived 15 rounds, whether he could have come on Iater to beat Sharkey and whether a world championship, hanging in the balance, should be awarded on a foul. Outside of the gate receipts, which are always the big part, the main idea in this late encounter was to prove that some one had come along who deserved to take over the crown that Tunney had tossed aside. About all this proved was that Schmeling could take it and that Sharkey still couldn't control his fast one. Sharkey was a pitcher with all the stuff, speed, curves and the big hop, who wild-pitched himself out of the championship just as Jack Chesbro did over 20 years ago. The Proven Part. I to the scrambled finish in the four round Sharkey had proved ‘hat he was & corking boxer with a strcng two-handed attack. He also had proved that he could keep his head and fight his fight. The low punch was ot the result of any mental upset or wild brain flurry. He was winning at the time and winning along the lines he had mapped out. He was being al- most too careful. But the type of punch he started for the body is al- ways dangerous when thrown at a fel- low who has the habit of coming in fast. It was running too much risk where no such risk was needed. It is easy enough to time against a target that is still or that is backing away. It is extremely difficult to time against a fighter coming from a half erouch into a quick charge. Schmeling proved something also. Every one knew he had & cool head. The big doubt concerned his ability to take He took plenty in the third round. He took full right hand wallops to the chin, at least one solid uppercut and left hook to the body delivered with | all the force that Sharkey had in his big, brawny system. In this third round Sharkey had measured Schmeling perfectly, had timed at least four of his punches and had nailed the target. But the target, while jarred and jolted, showed no signs of dropping or reeling or fading out of the battle. Schmeling proved beyond any question in this round that he was not only game but durable, that he could take his full share and still keep on coming in. Two Detalls. T has_been said before the fight that if the German ever landed one or more solid rights that Sharkey would blow up. Schmeling landed several solid rights and Sharkey remained as cool and as collected as he was at the start. If these punches hurt him he never showed it by as much as the blinking of an eye. He took them and went_smoothly along the road he had mapped out in advance, without being flustered in the slightest. If Sharkey had fouled Schmeiing after absorbing one of these right-hand wallops to the jaw it would have been easier to understand. But the foul came in a moment of calm, just before he bell rang. If it had landed cleanly nd had knocked Schmeling down the bell would have saved him. It was the unluckiest blow for one man that the ring has ever known. It is a queer thing that a boxer with as good control or aim as Sharkey had shown up to that moment should step in with a wild pitch and blow the game. He had either put more stuff into that punch than he could control or else Schmeling had come in much faster than Sharkey had figured. Who Would Have Won? HERE will be a million arguments from now on as to which man would have won. Schmeling had ROD ISHING conditions have changed somewhat in Chesapeake Ba; Last Saturday and Sund anglers fishing on the Eastern Shore observed a school of porpoise. When these big fish make their appear- ance in any body of water they scare the other fish away. This apparently is ‘what took place in the bay, because all along our side anglers report good catches. Capt. D. P. Ball at Neavitt, Md,, on the Eastern Shore, furnished the above information. He says one party, how- ever, returned with a catch of 50 hard- heads, and one rockfish weighting 14 pounds was caught on a hand line. Capt. George M. Bowen at Solomons Island reports that he has never seen so many hardheads caught. He also says that Harry Woodburn, trolling of Point Patience, lost all his tackle when a big rock carried away his rod and reel. Woodburn returned to the same place later in the afternoon and caught a rock weighing eight pounds. AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. Is Appointed C. Shoe Pitchers quite enthused over the outlook. In many communities there has been & decided change of attitude toward the game. “It's just & lot of fun” was the feeling last year. But now the pitchers generally are in earnest.

He had shown that he in fine condition, and that he had durability as well stamina, courage as well as coolness. It is quite possible that he would have | kept along in his tireless fashion and discouraged mood. But as far as the fight went Sharkey was the master of the show. He had proved to be the bet- ter boxer and the harder puncher. He had jarred the German more with both left ‘and right than Schmeling had jarred him with his last punch, the right-hand_wallop. Sharkey looked to be on his way to a that another such onslaught as the paved the way for an early knockout But this is another one of those argu- ments that will never be solved unless they meet again. It is almost certain that Schmelin | could never have stopped Sharkey. An | failing to stop him he would have had a hard time outpointing & man who was outboxing and outpunching him, who was bigger, faster and stronger. key had failed to stop his opponent by | the ninth or tenth round he might again have started a flurry of wild | swinging as he did in Miami. Any one ‘n( these things might have happened. but no one can say which one would | have taken place in later rounds. A Good Boxing. OTH men put on a fine boxing ex- hibition for heavyweights. They moved around swiftly and smoothly. They were light on their feet and fast with their hands. Schmeling was a much better looking fighter and boxer in every way than he showed himself to be at Endicott. He was facing a mas- ter boxer who knew every art of de- fense, and yet the German was nailing him now and then—not too often, but often enough to prove that he could hit his man and hit him with a right hand. It takes fast, accurate work to land & right hand upon a high-class boxer who is looking for and has worked against it in weeks of training. Schmeling deserves great credit for the courageous manner in which he | continued to crowd an opponent who | apparently had every angle of attack to use, who was_well equipped to_inflict | punishment. Sharkey showed that he | not only had a useful and dangerous | left, but that he also had a useful and | dangerous right, that he could hook, | jab and uppercut. Sharkey looked like = high-class champion on his way to a well deserved crowh until the big smear came in the fourth. Schmeling still looked danger- ous on the losing side, for he had not taken enough punishment to lose any of his steam or his ambition. He was still a rival to be reskoned with, but a decided change would have been needed after the fourth round to bring him the title. He would have been forced to show a big improvement and Sharkey would have had to slip. This might have taken place. Again it is one of those arguments that will remain hang- ing in the air where no arrow fact ean ever bring it down to earth. The tough break for Sharkey came in the turn that he had proved that he could box, hit and hold his hea | yet he couldn’t win. Schmeling fought & clean, sportsman- like battle in every way—proved that he could hit and take it; proved that he was smart and game.

BY BENNY LEONARD, Retired Undefeated Lightweight Champien of the World. EW YORK, June 14.—Max Schmeling, foul-crowned heavyweight champion of the world, should fight Jack Sharkey a return match in September of this year and prove to the. world he is a real cham- | pion. But this fight will not be held. . Joe Jacobs declared to me that Max will not fight again in America until one year from now. Schmeling, himself & bright chap, knows now, after being in the ring with Sharkey for four rounds, that he would have little chance to retain the crown in a return bout this year. This being the case, what is the situ- ation now in the heavyweight class? Who stands out as a challenger for the title? Who will be Schmeling's next opponent, and what chance will such challenger have with the German? Let's see. Phil Scott is out of the running, according to Joe Jacobs, but ery much in the running. according to Jimmy Johnston. Joe says Scott is no card, but I personally believe that in view of the ending of the Sharkey- Schmeling fight opinion in Europe will veer’ strongly toward Scott as a logical opponent for Max. Manager Picks Foes. Schmeling is going to tour Europe. He will defend his title there against the opponents selected—or maybe picked is a better word—by Joe Jacobs for him. In each battle, Joe tells me, the title always will be at stake. Over here the situation is this: Max must fight in New York under the di- réction of Madison Square Garden. He already is signed, I have it on good authority, to fight for the next Milk Fund show in New York. So somebody must be “built up” for him. There will be stories to the effect that Jack Dempsey will return to the ring to try to wrest the title from Schmeling. Also that Gene Tunney will gird on his fighting armor and come back. I will place no credence in such stories. Both Tunney and Dempsey are irrevocably out of the pic- ture, in my opinion. I mean so far as | coming back victory. There are many who believed | SR paCEs 1D make Ay PG regain the title is concernea. Carnera a Threat. It rests with the newer material now., This fellow Carnera, for instance, barred and all that, I'll admit, looms up rather threateningly. Young Strib- ling? Maybe, Campolo? Perhaps. Buddy Howard may some day get the spark he needs; Marty Fox, a clever but light fellow: Ralph Ficucello, former amateur, who appears to have a future; Von Porat, or even some fellow today unknown and unregarded may be the one to climb his, way to such fame and reputation as to warrant a match’ with Schmeling. Ernie Schaaf must be con- sidered, also. Tuffy Griffiths, too, is young enough and may develop. Godfrey I would place with the others, like Risko, Paulino, Heeney, ete. They're either through, or on the to- boggan. or will be by the time Schmel- ing will be forced to consider their challenges. Remember, there's at least one whole year that must pass before Schmeling will fight here again. Then, it may be that some chap abroad might develop and take Herr Schmeling. Pierre Charles ‘is a dan- gerous type for a fellow of Schmeling’s style. Of course, as I said at the beginning, the one big logical opponent for Schmeling is Sharkey in a return match. Joe Jacobs tells me he will consider this “when the time comes,” which means in another year. In this Joseph is wise for his fighter, for I believe Schmeling will learn a lot in this year—if he keeps fighting and studying. He is apt and he can learn. He needs fo. Sharkey Ts Lauded. I suppose I should be writing all about the new champion. yet somehow I cannot refrain from teling how great, a fighter Sharkey was, even though he lost. He moved gracefully, boxed beau- tifully, was calm and cool at all times; in fact, I think Jack was too cool for his own good in that third round, after he had pumped those staggering blows to Schmeling’s head and face. He had Max on the verge of a knockout and then stepped back and boxed cautious- ly instead of tearing in and finishing his man. T guess that was his desire, yet he kept_thinking: “If T do that they'll say Sharkey has lost his head again. Why should I go in and swap punches with this fellow when I've got him so well in hand and am winning so surely and steadily. Il just beat him down and stop him de- liberately.” I think Sharkey put up the greatest fight of his career. Such good judges as Mickey Walker and Jim Corbett, with whém I talked after the fight, agreed with me that Schmeling was outclassed and that it was only a mat- ter of time when he would be beaten down. I cannot see how Max could have won this fight by any other way than a foul, which was purely accidental, as it happened, for Sharkey let his punch fy right into the midsection as Schmel- ing jumped up & bit. Had Schmeling not hopped up a bit on his toes, the blow would have landed fair. However, it happened, so that's that. Although Max is a foreigner and holds the heavyweight title, those of you who wanted to see the title remain in this country can ease your minds with the thought that Max Schmeling is & per- fect gentleman, & splendid chap, game, and I look for him to develop in the next vear into a fighter who will wear the title gracefully, I wish him good luck.

The foul in Thursday night's big fight revived discussion as to means of preventing_such unsatisfactory happenings. The prize suggestion was made by Pa Stribling, who ad- vocated striking any reference to fouls from the rules. “The best thing to do." said Pa, “is to let everything count. Then it will be up to every fighter to pro- tect himself at all times. My boy hes been fouled hundreds of times, but_he never squawked. Sharkey hit him low at Miami Beach, but the boy did not squeal.
