C-3 Stribling Near Top of List for Schmeling : Seat Pleasant Wants Shoe Title SHARKEY'S STATUS WITH FANS LOWER Campolo and Carnera Other| Boxers Whom Max Must Keep Eye Upon. BY SPARROW McGANN. AX SCHMELING, on vacation in Germany, will have plenty of time on shipboard to check up on the capabilities of the four men who have more than an even chance of relieving him of his newly won heavyweight title. Jack Sharkey is on the list and prob- ably ranks No. 1. As a drawing card the Garrulous Gob must take a back seat for Young Stribling, Vittorio Cam- polo and the greatest showman of them all, Primo Carnera. Sharkey does not appeal to the fans. ‘This in spite of the fact that he ranks better than his rivals. Some may dis- pute Jack's right to be called the best boxer and ringman of the present day, | but cold facts do not bear them out.| It is only Sharkey’s bad habit of send- ing his punches below the belt that makes him unpopular. His bragging is | only a press agent yarn. Stribling in Front. The Bostonian is one of the most se- rious fellows in the fight game and ha: a keen regard for the ability of his op- ponents. But Sharkey has won several fights via the foul route and the fans are not apt to forget that. Stribling has forged to the front by a sensational one-round knockout over Otto Von Porat. This was no mean feat. Paolino was the only man who had been able to floor the lantern- jawed Norwegian, but he could not keep him down. Von Porat carries dynamite in his long left, but he could not cope with the Georgian's speedy at- tack and crushing right. Stribling should assert his claims. go over to England and score a clean | knockout over Phil Scott. This is not | beyond possibility. Strib is a good | punchér and if he will forg:t his dad's | advice to be cautious he will come pretty | close to flooring Scott for the count Stribling's knockout record is replete | with the names of unknown or clown fighters. Something must be said about this in Strib's favor. There is an old | adage of the ring which says, “A bad | fighter will make a good fighter look bad.” It takes a good puncher to belt | out a clown in jig time, and the | Georgian certainly can do that. | Handicapped by Pa. Stribling is handicapped by his well | meaning pa. With pa in his corner | seeing and noting the effect of every blow, it is no wonder that he cautions | his boy to “take it easy and den't let | him hit you that way again.” This was a pronounced feature of Strib's tactics | in the Sharkey fight and had the South- ern battler been more aggressive he | n.ight have beaten Shark<y. Going into the eighth round it was anybody’s fight. Strib played it safe and Sharkey came on to win. Stribling is essentially a head puncher and does not hit below the belt.. He would be a more dangerous opponent for Schmeling than Sharkey, provided Strib is properly handled. Campolo is under obligation to Madi- son Square Garden because that corpo- ration purchased the rights to his con- tract. Campolo has size and little else to recommend him, unless one counts | an overwhelming desire to grab all the money in sight. Salvatore Ruggerello floored the Gaunt Gaucho of the Pam- pas and was in turn dumped to. the canvas for a technical knockout. does not speak well for the angular chin of the Argentinian. Campolo has a long road to travel before he receives serious consideration. There is a possibility that Campolo and Carnera will be brought together this Summer. If that comes to pass, one can safely reckon that Carnera will be returned the victor. Carnera | may be crude, but he carries too many guns for Campolo. Carnera would not be an easy mark for Schmeling. The big fellow is as good a boxer as the Teuton and can take punches just as well. His weight would be a big factor, and we may vet see the day when a giant weighing 265 pounds rules the fistic universe. HAWKEi!S ARE BANISHED. | CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 1.—Customers at- tending the Johnny Risko-Tuffy Grif- fith heavyweight match at the Chicago Stadium tomorrow night have been promised financial protection from a foul by Sidney Strotz, president of the stadium. “If the bout ends in a foul,” Strotz promised, “we will deduct the amount of the forfeited purse from the gross receipts of a rematch between the two fighters. Each ticket will be reduced in price accordingly, so that a customer who paid $1, for instance, for Wednes- day night's bout can see the second | ight for 75 cents.” Rules of the Illinois State Athletic Commission provide forfelt of purses, except bare training expenses, in case of fouls. Risko and Grifith wound up their training today for the match, which is & comeback affair for each. Risko was a slight favorite. Big League BASE BALL Meeting Ball Squarely BY AL DEMAREE, Former Pitcher New York Giants. “A good hitter always hits the ball out in front of him” was John McGraw's advice on batting to every young ball player joining the New York Giants. A batter who never quite gets his bat around on a fast ball and is con- tinually swinging late is never a dangerous hitter. He certainly is never a long hitter. If you are having trouble in get- tng your bat around and meeting the ball out in front of you, try hold- ing your bat back, cocked and ready, L:;; before the pitcher delivers the Many batters fall into the bad HowpinG BAT BACK QuST BEFORE PITCHER \DEuveRs PALL WLl ZZA OVERCOME SWINGING LATE A GOOD HITTER MEETS THE BaLL ouT IN FRONY orF HIM— racing selections and other customary | wares found at most race tracks hlVe; been banned at Arlington Park.

Dueling Not So Deadly As Boxing, Say Germans ‘BERLIN, July 1 (#).—The punch is mightier than the sword, asserts the German Society for Surgery. It protested against the proposed amendment of the penal code to make the students' duel punishable by imprisonment. If the duel is to be prohibited, — m— \ AL DA habit of nervously swinging their bat back and forth at the plate and the result is that the pitcher is pitching to them “between swings.” Half of the time their bat is in front of them when the ball is coming toward them and they cannot get it back and swing before it arrives. The result is they are never timing the ball and never meeting it squarely. Keep your bat bgck and you will find you will hit harder and longer drives and can pull a fast ball more successfully. Save this big league base ball series, another will appear shortly. Al Demaree has prepared a free illustrated leaflet on “batting” which will improve any boy's percentage. Send for it.

N any modern school class if some one is asked this question—"What is the chief product of Atlanta, Ga.?” there can be only one | | answer. | Today over 150 Atlanta citizens are | | on their way to New York to pay fur- | ther tribute to the city's chief product as he returns from Europe tomorrow wearing mno less than three major crowns of golf upon his somewhat over- crowded brow. This is under par for 1 to carry more than one crown at a time. Atlanta now is heading a demonstra- tion that will eclipse any tribute the Georgla metropolis has paid its favorite son in past campaigns. The city and ' the State already had given him nine royal receptions before he left for the other side, but by this time they can double up, as he doubled up the count| at St. Andrews and Hoylake. It is not only the victories that Bobby Jones has won, but there also is much to be considered in the man beyond and above the victories. It comes like a breath of cool, fresh air in the wake of our Sharkey-Schmeling, Carnera- Godfrey encounters, and it might be noted that Jones returns with no fat purses. or increased bank account. When he and others play there is no indignant howl on the part of the clients to get their money back in the wake of what they consider a swindle. The Big Test.

And the United States open will be hardest of them all, since it comes at the fag cnd of his campaign and since it will offer the hardest opposition. In addition to most of those he faced at Hoylake, he will have to ward off such golfers as Tommy Armour, Waiter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Gene Sarazen, E Dudley, Bill Mehlhorn and a flock | 0. sthers almost, or quite as good.

EAT PLEASANT, Md., is bent upon making a strong bid for high honors in the Metropolitan District horse- shoe championships, opening July 16. It did fairly well last year| when its champion, Ray Pan- holzer, reached the Southern Maryland finals. ‘This time Panholzer is manag- ing as well as playing in the Seat Pleasant preliminary and he is no less a manager than a pitcher, which is saying no little. Since he took charge horseshoe pitch- ing has been on the boom in the Prince Georges town. From the looks of things there will be in the neighborhood of a hundred entrants at Seat Pleasant. Five courts are being kept busy out there now, with about 60 twirlers taking daily workouts. One of the courts, owned by Edward F. Roberson, is electric lighted and the battles go on far into the night. Two courts near the fire house, on land belonging to Irwin I Main, assistant chairman, will be used in the tourna- ment and these also will be lighted. Champion Panholzer does most of his pitching on the Masons’ court, near Masonic Hall. The other court is in the middle of Vine street. ANHOLZER hopes to make Seat Pleasant’s tournament a model af- fair. He picked up a number of excellent ideas while knocking about in last year's tournament. He played through the Seat Pleasani preliminary, | Hyattsville and did well in the South- ern Maryland finals at Rockville. He | attended the Northern Virginia finals at Culpeper and was official scorer of the grand finale on the Plaza play-| ground. | He saw more of the tournament | probably than any other person and | made observations with a view to help- | ing develop the game. | HE Seat Pleasant chairman will have charge of semi-final play-offs | in which champions and runners- | up of towns in Southern Prince Georges County will compete.

Where | remains to be determined. The match will be played on a court suitable for the accommodation of many spectators HE Prince Georges County final looms as one of the hottest matches in the entire metropolitan affair. Rivalry is sure to be intense, and the competition likely will be tight.

Repre- sentative Johnson got it. AIRFAX County expects to make a bigger showing in the tournament than last year, although it was one of the best represented counties. Among the new preliminaries will be those at Fairfax Court House, with Thomas P.
