SP TO RUSH STRIBLING, SAYS PLOT 1ACOBS Training Indicates Champion Will Use Body Punches. Yank 7-5 Choice. BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. s ONNEAUT LAKE PARK, Pa., June 27.—Max Schmel- ing must carry the fight to Young Stribling if he is successful in the defense¢ of his world’s heavyweight champion- ship when they dedicate Cleve- land's new municipal stadium with their 15-round title bout next Fri- ‘day night. This is & conclusion of th: German handlers .today. Manag:r Joe Jacobs, pointed out in particular that Schmel- ing intends to fight an aggressive, rush- ing battle, forcing Stribling to the de- fense. ‘The battle plans, as conceived from the training drt indicate _that Schmeling will attempt to beat Strib- ling with punches to the body, and thus wear him down and slow up his speed. Schmeling in his five rounds of boxing yesterday, against two sparring partners, stea til he got in close and then drove punches to the body. The big German, crouching low and weaving, smashed through the defense of George Panka, Pittsburgh heavyweight, and then drove lefts and rights to the body, forcing Panka to clinch and hold on. Schmeling boxed three rounds with Panka before stepping two timid ses- sions with Tony Marullo, New Orleans veterah. He attempted to develop spexd in footwork and speed in throwing punches against the New Orleans war- rior. His apparent aim was to beat Marullo to the punch and he usually sucoceded. Schmeling kept the full strength of his punches in reserve while boxing the New Orleans veteran. , May Pass Up Brown. Natie Brown, the California heavy- weight, who messed Schmcling up quite a bit in their two workouts, may or may not be given another opportunity. Brown was off the list yesterday and is itching to get in the ring with Schmeling again. They may keep him out, how- ever, rather than to run the risk of injury to the title holder. While Schmeling was going throug] his training session, the referee qu tion was raging as the most important topic of the day. Unofficial reports from the German's camp indicated George Blake of Los Angeles, a noted boxing teacher and marager of Fidel la Barba, the featherweignt contender, would b2 highly acceptable to Schmel- ing. Others known to be acceptable are Eddie Purdy of Chicago. Mat Brock of Cleveland. and Elmer “Slim” Clelland of Detroit. Both Jacobs and Schmeling have their own ideas on the refzree, but are withholding them. After today's boxing session Schmel- | ing will go on the air twice tonight di- rect from his training quarters. The first will be at 5 p.m., Eastern standard time, and will be especially for Furo- pean listencrs. Schmeling will tell his landsmen in Germany how he hopes to beat Stribling, making his address in German. Others to speak to Europe will be his trainer, Max Machon, and other German membrrs of his training retinue. Then Schmeling with his trainers, Manager Jacobs, William F. Carey. pres- | ident of the Madison Square Garden ! Corporation, togeth’r with a German | & band, will take the air at 7:45 p.m., for | 30 minutes. Station WTAM, Cleveland, will handle this program, which will g0 out over the country over the Na- | tional Broadcasting Co. network. The | National Broadcasting Co. also will han- | dle the broadcast for Europe with Sta. tion WGY, Schenectady, rebroadcasting It over the Atlantic. BY EDWARD J. NEIL. Associated Press Sports Writer, GEAUGA LAKE, Ohio, June 27.—The polishing of Bill Stribling's left hand | for 15 rounds of jousting against Max | Schmeling's right in the Cleveland municipal Stadium next Friday night | entered the final stages today. Only twice more is the Southern challenger for the heavyweight throne certain to pull on training gloves—to- | night and: again tomorrow night—in the open-air arena in the center of an| amusemet park 27 miles outside the | city. He may spar a bit with his train- | ing mates Tuesday night to keep rust from collecting on his punch and judg- | ment of distance, but the heavy ‘work | of preparation for the night before the | Fourth celebration will be over Sunday. The closer the struggle gets, the more complex are the problems of the critics | who are striving to judge between the | deftness and power ‘of Stribling's left | hand and the might of Schmeling's right, probably the shortest and heftiest punch” in the entire heavyweight di-| vision. Regardless of the critics’ opin- | ions, however, the first wagers on the | outcome of the title go have made | Stribling and his left hand a 7-to-5 | favorite. Left is Great Weapon. Tn his workout Thursday night Stribling's left was a perfect weapon. | The tall, lean Georgian jabbed to the head ‘with it, hooked to the chin and body with speed and precision that demoralized his sparring partners. Oc- casionally he shot overhand rights to the head, but his training camp work 50 far has been concentrated on per- fection of the left. It is also surmised that he is practicing right uppercuts occasionally, when no one is looking, Just in case Schmeling reverts to his old crouching, weaving form, instead of the straight, stand-up boxing stance he has been using in recent workouts. Among the things noticeable by their absolute absence in Stribling’s workouts are.the clutching, clinching tactics that have spoiled many of the Southerner’s most important engagements. Every time he falls into a clinch with a spar- ing partner “Pa” Stribling, his father- manager, promptly shoos him out. He has not been permitted to hit at all in close, and the general impression is| :EBLRL he will nltempttm rid himself in engagement of the Tsisf clinching habit. s ANDERSON “PRETY SICK” Mayo Clinic Seeks Exact Nature of Coach’s Illness. ROCHESTER, Minn.,, June 27 (#).— Serfously ill, Heartley “Hunk” Ander- son, senfor foot ball coach at Notre Dame, today awaited the doctcr's diagnosis of the exact nature of his ailment. Anderson was at the Mayo Clinic pathological division, suffering with severe headaches, which have bothered him since last May. Tests were being made at the clinic to determine the source of the headaches. Dr. J. B.

Aycock Crushed. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 27.—For the sec- ond consecutive year the Mid- west today had a chance to win its first national intercollegiate golf champlonship, but its standard bearer, Bob Kepler of Ohlo State, had the huge task of dethroning the defend- ing champion, George T. Dunlap, jr., of Princeton. Last year Larry Moller of Notre Dame met Dunlap in the final round at Oak- mont, but was beaten, 5 and 3, by the youth who qualified in the - national amateur tournaments of 1928 and 1930, Today, on the tough No. 4 course of Olympia Fields, it was Kepler's turn to bring the title into the Middle West, for the first time. Its four previous jour- neys away from the East were in 1925 and 1926, when Fred Lamprecht of Tu- lane won: 1927, when Watts Gunn took it to Georgla Tech, and in 1928, when Maurice McCarthy of Georgelown was the victor. Dunlap Beats Aycock. Dunlap yesterday crushed his final obstacle before the final round, defeat- ing Tommy Aycock of Yale, the 1929 title holder, 9 and 8, while Kepler gained the champlonship round by beat- ing his teammate, Johnny Florio, 6 and 5. | The 118-pound Princeton ace was counted as too consistent and experi- | enced for Kepler and the gallery looked for another one-sided victory. He played and walked Aycock ragged yesterday, | hurrying between shots and shooting golf that permitted the Yale player to win only three holes, Dunlap, who had | been beaten twice before by Aycock, was 3 up at_the morning turn, had added |4 more by lunch time and maintained this advantage through the afternoon first nine holes. He clinched the de- | cision on the first hole of the homeward | journey. Florio was favored to take his team- mate out of the tournament, hut Kep- ler got away in front and remained there. He was three holes on top at the ninth, and finished the morning round 6 up. Florio rallled as they started the finishing test and managed to cut away two holes from Kepler's lead, but went | to pieces starting with the twelfth and | lost on the thirteenth. D. C.

Says New Pill Leland James Declares HE golf bugs are all stirred up about the new golf ball. As warm weather comes along and putts continue to stop at the cup, they recall how the old ball of last year saved them strokes around the putting greens and they plead for a return of the old ball. Leland” F. James, a Washington golfer, who signs himself “a 100 per cent golf fan,” is the latest to air his views on the ball, which he does in the following manner: “Dear Mr. McCallum: “Being an ardent golf fan my- self, I wish to take this opportunity to express my views, in which many of my friends join me, regarding the new size golf ball. I will feel con- siderably relieved when I get this off my chest. “In the first place I want to heartily condemn the United States Golf Assoclation for the selfish stand it has taken in this matter. It did not make any effort to first ascer- tain the wishes of the rank and file of golfers regarding a change in the type of ball. Why? Because they well knew that it would have been overwhelmingly voted down. What especially irritates me is the selfish- ness behind the whole thing. Just because 10 per cent of the golfers of the country were playing the courses in subpar figures, 90 per cent of us average golfers, who consti- tute the backbone of the game and without whose support golf as a na- tional institution would succumb, have to suffer. Is not our system of Government founded upon the very- definite principle that the will of the majority shall govern? It is apparent that the U. 8. G. A. has given no heed to this principle. I tell you, Mr. McCallum, there is no use trying to minimize the gravity of the situation. “All this talk about the new ball Fistic Battles By the Associated Press.

Even though Indian Spring won the team championship of the Old Free State last Fall in a final round cgainst the team from the Columbia Country Club, it is plain that the team matches | of the State association have not had | the hearticst sort of reception, ang 1t is | no secret that several of the Washing- | ton clubs will not enter teams in the | competition, if it is held at all, this year. | Sensing this attitude, officials of the | State association have dropped hints within the past few weeks that there will be no team matches this year. And so the big bronze figure of a golfer, minus the club with which he hit the ball, may remain at Indian Spring for some time unless the officers of the Maryland association claim it to grace the assoclation offices. At Indian Spring, howaver, the club golfers are | keen to play in the matches again, even thouzh Indian Spring apparently is the only Washington club which wants to see the team matches perpetuated. ‘Team contests around Washington ve grown up and died and usually have remained dead. For some reason, golfing folks would rather get out in a friendly four-ball match, miss their shots, indulge in a little mild cussing and lose their dollar Nassau without losing anything else by way of honor for dear old Sleepy Valley. Team matches, with all the atmosphere of a challenge and tense competition, seem to bore a lot of folks who would rather play in,a friendly competition than in | one on ‘which everything depends. Some years back there were feam matches played between the clubs around Washington, and some one put up a silver cup as a team championship trophy. But after two or three years of overheated competition the matches died a na‘ural death. For some years back in the old days the Middle At- lantic Golf Association staged home- and-home team matches between clubs in various cities. But these also died out. If we recall correctly, the last team matches played at Columbia, in 1922, drew exactly three club entries and all were from Washington. So team matches, in so far as golfers from Washington clubs are concerned, are not intensely popular affairs, 'HEN you make a small wager with your opponent on a short hole, be sure he does not have ambi- tions to make a hole in one. J. C. Robertson found this out the other day at Washington, where he was playing with J. Sidney Cates. Coming to the eleventh hole, Robert- son made a small wager with Cates on this short 135-yard affair. Looking out at the green, situated just over the water hazard, Cates pulled an old ball from his bag, for the water was muddy from recent rains, and, with the mem- ory of other-shots in his head, he was sure if hé went into the water he would not find his ball. He finally ex- tricated an old ball of ancient lineage, so battled and scarred by the golf wars that it was cut completely through the cover. Teeing it up, he took his stance, when Robertson interrupted him in this wise: “You are not going to play that old ball, are you,-Sid?" “Sure,” said Cates. “I don't want lose a new one.” | | tes replied. ‘“Here to make it in one with this old pill. Watch * And he neatly lofted the ball to the green, where it rolled—cut cover and all—into the hole for an ace.

For once Jones was free on & golf course, and "for once he tramped over a course without a caddie at his side, without a milling mob in front of him and behind him. For once he walked leisurely, where he pleased, without being pushed and shoved and jostled. For once he could be relaxed. For once he felt that the show was being staged for hin” and that he was not the show. “I ‘never so thoroughly enjoyed my- self as I did terday,” the Emperor Jones said. “In fact, I do not recall when I really enjoyed myself at a tournament before. It was & strange experjence.” want to engage in competitive it again. _Still, there were times when ve traded places with the players. He was referring to those occasions when he was recognized by other spec- tators and for autographs. On several occasions, while he was watch- ing a shot bemgmed‘ people rushed up to him and programs, score cards and pictures into his hands ask- ing him to autograph them. Several balls were offered for his signature “After my day's experience I never |R: Kick as One - Of Gallery at Ryder Matches eral times my eyes were following the ball in flight while I was writing my name.” ‘The amateur photographers discov- ered him and he was asked to pose, but in the afternoon Bobby evened mat- ters. He brought his own camera, a complicated German one that he pur- chased while abroad last year when he won both the British open and the British amateur. He snapped pictures of golfers and of the newplger writers who had in the past asked him to pose time and again at every tournament. Jones saw at least scveral holes of each match played today. He thought the British rather slack with their tee shots, and their chip shots, he said, were not up to the standard that Jones had_seen thém show on some previous occasions when their accuracy caused him days of high discomfort. He liked the n shots of Havers and he liked the putting of Easterbrook, who did the best putting of the British players. Jones was so delighted with his ex- perience as a spectator’that he is going to play the role again today when the r Cup single matches will be played. But on Sunday he will travel the Scioto course again with a caddie and all his clubs, with spectators crowding all about him, for he is scheduled to play an ex- hibition match for charity.

British faced a dramatic uphill fight, but felt confident of turning the tide and giving the squat little trophy, em- blem of international professionai golf supremacy, snother trip across the At- lantic. Capt. Walter Hagen and his | mates were highly optimistic but aware | and respectful of their foe's comeback | qualities, | _ Today's final skirmish consisted of eight singles matches in which Capt. | Hagen and Capt.

On the sidelines were two players | from each team—the veteran George Duncan and the youthful Syd Easter- | brook of England, who were defeated in separate two-ball foursomes yester- | day, and Leo Diegel and Horton Smith | of ‘the American team.

Under the steaming rays of a near 100-degree sun the Americans fin- ished the halfway jaunt of the 36-hole match play well in front. Hagen and Shute stood a forbldding 10 up over Duncan and Havers, Farrell and Sarazen were 5 up on Compston and Davies, Diegel and Espinosa were 2 up on Mitchell and Robson. while Cox |and Burke were 1 up on E.

Hagen and Shute and Farrell and Sarazen were too far ahead then to be caught, but the other American pairs— Cox, Burke, Diegel and Espinosa—had heated fights on their hands. Mitchell |and Robson finally pulled 1 up on |Diegel and Espinosa on the twenty- seventh green and won-out, 3 to 1, after a ding-dong battle, which ended when Diegel spanked his tee shot into a creek on the thirty-fifth hole. Whit- | combe and Easterbrook fought close all the way and finally lost because of | Easterbrook’s poor putting. | Hagen and Mitchell were the stars [of the day. Both of them won holes repeatedly with beautiful wood shots and fine putts. Sir Walter was on his game so completely that he looked and |acted like the Hagen showman of old. Sarazen was there, too, dropping ap- | proaches within inches of the cup and breaking the hearts of his rivals. Today's matches will start in order of the line-up at 10 a.m..
