S " GEORGIAN SHOWS " SPEED, ACCURACY Hits Sparring Partners as He Pleases and Defense Al- most Perfect. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EAUGA LAKE, Ohio, June‘ 26.—Fighters must be something like base ball pitchers. One day they feel great and all their stuff is| working. Another day they also| feel great, but they can't get a man out. For instance, Frank Cawley, & clever young heavyweight sparring partner of Tommy Loughran, wandered into Bill | Stribling’s training camp for the first| time Tuesday night to work with the | Southern challenger for Max Schmel- inz's heavyweight title. Bill looked great phyeically, but he could do little w'th Cawley. Frank was fat and out of condition, but he did himseif proud. | But last night, with a couple of days’ training to work on, Cawley tackled the Hucky Georglan again. He got him- self thoroughly pasted with left hooks _ to the head and body, and a few times winging right hands thudded off his head guard. He scarcely laid a glove on Stribling. It was by far the most impressive workout the Southerner has turned n in 17 sparring sessions since starting training here for the July 3 battle. Goes Ten Rounds. In all, Stribling went 10 rounds, six of them boxing with Cawley, Tan Sam ‘Ward, Frank Kitt and a welterweight named Mickey Dugan, who was in there for a one-round speed drill. -Stribling hit each man every time he wanted to with any punch he cared to use. He was s0 fast Dugan could not touch him with a left jab. He cut loose rarely, but it was apparent that he could have swept all four of his mates out of there in short order if he had to double up on his heavy punches. His left hook to the body was in particularly good wotking order. “Sometimes I don't do well when I think I'm going " <Stribling said aft- er the workout, “but usually I can tell myself what was wrong. Mostly it's something I liked especially well at sup- per and I ate too much. Sometimes I Jook all right, but I'm just not feeling keen.” Stribling will box Saturday and Sun- day nights at 9 pm. (E. 8. T.), and if his condition continues as fine as it is now, he probably will lay the 16-ounce training gloves aside then and devote himself to nothing but light exercise up to the fight Priday night. He weigh- ed 186 pounds after last night's work- out, the noich he wants to hold for the title test. S RINGSTER-FOLLOWS DADDY’S FOOTSTEPS Eschinger’s Parent Was Gob Boxer.

Schmeling to Have Three Days Grind as Last Hard Training| BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. ONNEAUT LAKE FARK, Pa, June 26.—Max Schireling be- gins the welcome slide over the peak of his t-aining today. The world's heavyweight champion, rested and refreshed, after a day's lay off, will begin to bear down on his sparring partners for the next three days to got himself on edge for the de- fense of his title against young Stribling in Cleveland’s new municipal stadium a week from tonight. Schmeling will box six to eight rounds daily, He will have plenty of oppor- tunity to perfect his famous straight right-hand smash to the head, his new inside right uppercut and his left hook as his quartet of sparring rtners have been freshened up for the final days of trading wallops. The beetle-browed German entars the final week of training full of energy and confidgnce. His present weight of 1903 pownds is regarded as perfect/ poundage with five more days of work | ahead of him. He tipped the beam at| 1903, yesterday, a pound and onc- quarter above the figure he will scale on the night of the fight. He probably will melt off a pound or so between today and Sunday, as the weather has turned blistering hot and the sun’ beats down intensely on Schmieling’s canvas- shaded outdoor ring. Joe Jacobs, the German's manager, and Trainer Max Machon were highly elated over the fact that Schmeling was able to tip the beam over the 190- pound notch. The German’s private ing as a hearty eater and has been filling him up with tastily cooked veg- etables and meats in the hope of build- ing him up so that he will not reduce too rapidly in the final days of boxing in the intense heat. “We regard his weight as perfect.” said Manager Jacobs, “With five more days of work ahead of him, he is now at the right notch and there is no dan- ger of him golag stale. His last few days of boxing will sharpen his speed, his eye and his punch. His wind is 0. K. and his legs are perfect. I look for him to be in better shape after his workout today than any time since he }nnn the intensive part of his train- Tt g. Schmeling welcomed the day away from the training grind yesterday. He rested from boxing, but not from golf. It was stifiing hot, yet the German played 18 holes in the morning and whacked the ball for another round of 18 holes late in the afternoon, return- ing to his cottage in the cool of the evening. With the fight just a week away, the guards at Schmeling Cottage, on the shores of Conneaut Lake, have been doubled to keep' curiosity seekers and well-wishers away. A special guard has been placed in front of his cottage and another is stationed 100 feet away to keep visitors' from annoying the Ger- man. Despite this extra precaution Schmeling probably will have to do a presidential - hand-shaking act Sunday, when German day will be celebrated, with lantzmen coming from all parts of Western Pennsylvania and Cleveland to give him & royal send-off. It is ex- pected that more than 5,000, a receord crowd; will jam Schmeling’s outdoor, cook, Otto Winemann, regards Schmel- arena for the day's boxing. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

In Hyattsville energetic preparation is under way on the court just off the ‘Washington-Baltimore Boulevard, where Thomas H, (Honest Tawm) Garrison, picturesque chief deputy sheriff of | Prince Georges County, long an ardent devotee of the sport, and a flock of others are getting in daily licks. On other courts in Hyattsville players are priming for the tournament, Town Councilman T. D.

Merle Hellman, who has swept to victory over & classy fleld in the Hyattsville tournaments and once land- ed the county title, but was unable to defend his county laurels last year, has high hopes of again triumphing. Ray Panholzer, county champion last year, has moved to Washington and will compete there. It is expected that Riverdale and Riverdale Heights, which have been the scenes of enthusiastic contests the Jast two seasons, again will stage com- petitions along with Tuxedo, Berwyn and other places. Bladensburg is among the com- munities which will stage a contest for the first time and it promises to be one of the hottest. Jim Thorpe Now Movie Actor Former Sports Hero Spurns Sympathy Over Recent Poveriy—Weighs 210 Pounds at 45 2 BY ROBIN COONS. OLLYWOOD, Calif., June 26. —Big Jim Thorpe is a movie actor now, wearing the hide-and-feather re- galia of his Indian forefathers, but movie acting doesn’t represent the ead and all of his comeback ambi- tions. Long an outstanding example of individual excellence in the sports world, particularly in foot ball, ‘Thorpe is casting an eye to the fu- ture and what it holds. ‘Thorpe was'found by ‘a newspaper man not long ago digging ditches for the county as a $4-a-day laborer. The resultant story brought him let- ters from all over the country ex- pressing “sympathy for his plight,” and some offering jobs. “But I den’t want any sympathy,” says Thorpe. “Some people seem to think it's a disgrace for me to dig ditches for a living, but I don't. I was doing it to tide over a bad time, to support my family, and I was on the way to a better joh when ‘the story brcke.” 3 2 Poor investments in ofl’ wells' hd reduced Thorpe to the position where' he was glad to get a $4-a-day job. But he hopes for better things now. If he can, hell stay in pictures. Failing that, perhaps Tie'll try for a job of foot ball coaching: Where? He doesn’t care. There 1s also in prospect & venture into professional wrestling. He has had an offer. ‘And he is still trying to bring in an ofl well—there’s one in swthorne, where he lives, that interests him. At 45, Thorpe weighs 210 pounds, 10 pounds ever-the weight he car~ ried when he was the foot ball world in the years he played under Glenn “Pop™ Warner with the Carlyle lnd'.l.oln.l back -in fh. - vania, and 80 pounds more weight during professional base ball days, when he was signed by John McGraw for the Giants at $20,000 a year.

Away in Ninth—Set-up ~for Left Hook. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press’ Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 26.—Billy | Petrolle, the “Fargo Ex- press,” has belted Justo Suarez of the Argentine right out of the lightweight champicnship picture. Fargo Billy, who never - has learned the meaning of the word “retreat” and is just as ignorant of the gentle art of holding, slugged Suarez all around Madison Square Garden’s ring last night and finally knocked him out in the ninth round. A crowd of 9,000 looked on in excite- ment as Petrolle got the jump on the South American, floored him twice for short counts in the opening round, weakened him badly with terrific smashes to the body du; the middle stages of the fight and then finished him with a flurry of blows after a min- ute and 51 seconds of the ninth round. Title Chance Likely. The net result was to remove Buarez, temporarily at least, from consideration as a lightweight challenger and prob- ably to earn for Petrolle a “shot” at ‘ony Canzoneri’s 136-pound crown. ‘With the single exception of the sec- ond round it was Fargo Billy's fight all the way. He .bobbed and weaved away from almost all of Suarez's wild swings, outsmarted the rugged South American ‘611 7th St. N.W. 1003 Penna. Ave. N.W. .

Buarez bobbed up only to run into another left {\&ok“t:vme‘nme spot that sent him to s for a count of two. Appar- ently unhurt, Justo came up, blocked a half dozen wild blows, and traded punches on even terms with the Mid- Westerner for the rest of the round. Suaret Has s Moment. Buarez came out fresh for the second round and easily had the edge of some wildly exciting fighting, bringing Pe- trolle up sharp with some stiff rights and lefts to the head. After that it was all Petrolle. The Fargo slugger waited patiently for openings, and then slipped over heavy left hooks to the body that doubled up the South American time and again. It was his inability to fur- nish a defense for these left hooks that cost Justo the fight. He took terrific punishment through the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds, and was a tired and discouraged battler, as he came out for the ninth round. A right to the jaw sent him spinning to the Topes and, helpless, he stood there while Petrolle belted him with both hands, Finally, the Argentine dropped to the floor, flat on his back. At four he rolled over. and at eight he was on one knee, but he still was in that position when Referee Patsy Haley reached the count of 10. ug:uru weighed 138 pounds; Petrolle %, RITCHIE TO SEE MAT BOUT | Will Head Maryland Delegation at Londos-Steele Clash.
