"SPORTS., " Cc-3 " Jacobs Is Sure Schmeling’s Style Will Give Him Big Advantage Over Stribling SAYS SHORT BLOW BEATS LONG RANGE Max’s Manager Predicts Crowd of 100,000 for Bout in Cleveland. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, April 22.—In a visit to Madison Square Garden I found a dapper young man talking with ‘William F. Carey. It was Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmel- ing, heavyweight champion of the world in those localities controlled by the National Boxing Associa- tion. This appecred to me to be a good epot to get direct information in re- gard to the health of the German fighter and his chances in the July bout with Young Stribling I intimated to Jacobs that I wished to interview him on the subject of his champion _and he seemed willing to answer all questicns. First I asked him pointedly if he rcally felt rure that Schmeling cculd beat Stribling. answered that the Georgian was ¢ to order for the German. ‘And why?” I inquired. A Matter of Styles. “I will tell you one good reason,” said Jacobs. “Fighting i3 a question of styles. Stribling is what I call a long puncher. By that I mean that he loops a right and draws back his hand for a left hook. Schmeling is a short puncher. His fist goes straight from where it may be to the mark. He can drop a right on you that will knock you for a loop without moving | his fist more than six inches. Sooner or later he is going to beat Stribling to the punch. And Schmeling never clinches. He is always punching.” low about the distance?” I asked. fteen rounds will pe better for Schmeling than for Siribling,” said Jacobs. “Stribling is like Sharkey, in that he goes well for the first few rounds and then dies out. Sharkey gave Max all he had in the first three Tounts of their bout and Schmeling took it. In the third round Sharkey landed a full right clean to Schmeling'’s aw. ,When Max didn't go down Shar- ey was through. ‘with everything he had and found that it wasn't enough. When Schmeling came back to the corner I wanted to give him smelling salts. He waved me away; said he didn’t need them. And you may remember that he didn't lie back a; e Topes in that minute rest. He sat straight up. He told me afterwards that Sharkey was ferocious and terrible in the third round, but that he had nothing in the fourth.” Can Take and Give. flcure Stl’lbhn' better than “Do_yor Sharkey?" “He is m:t. as good a boxer, said Jacobs, “but he is trickier. He will hold ,,2,’,’,,, you and shove you around more, and you have to watch him coming out of a clinch. Perhaps he hits a little harder, but Max certainly has proved he can take it. And Max can sock. Stribling isn't going to take many of punches.” those “Bomc experts think Stribling has had too much experience for Schmel- ing,” I said. ‘‘Aren't ‘ou asking a deal of your man you put him up against as smart and good a fighter, after Schmeling has been out of the ring for a year?” “We have shown in 42 clfie\‘.' an- swered Jacobs, “and of those Schmeling * has boud t.hree rounds against about eight different sparring partpers. It seems to me that there is not anything much better to perfect timing than 120 rounds of boxing. And he will go into training on May 15, and then I will have about 15 sparring partners for him. He will have had plenty of boxing by the time he meets smbfiu > Foresees Big Crowd. “How do you think the bout v\m' draw?” 1 asked. “How can it help drawing,” demandcd Jacobs, “when it will be held in the greatest stadium I ever saw for bflx- ing, in a city where 50 per cent of the | population of the United States and | Canada is within a radius of 500 miles’ 1 think it is a cinch to draw 100,000 | spectators. “Yes,” continued Jacobs, “it should be a good fight, held before one of the | biggest crowds in fight. history. Max will win. Why, same fighter he was when I took Mec- | Tigue down to fight him. He couldn't stop Tufy Griffiths, and he couldn't stop Arthur de Kuh. How can I fig-| ure that Schmeling is in any danger?” “What is Schmeling doing now?” I 8 kcd ell,” sald Jacobs, “he played 54 He had hit Max | | le. | P.
