4 ENOUGH SUGRESTED 0 CROWD STADIUN 15 Names May Be Offered to Pilot, With Final Three Picked in Ring. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, LEVELAND, June 27 (®.— The flery struggle to pick a referee and two judges | for Max Schmeling’s | heavyweight title defense against Bill Stribling in the Municipal | Stadium, Friday night, monopo- lized the interest of the faithful today as the warriors themselves began to ease up in their training. For more than a week now Cleve- dand's five-man commission has been battling the officiating problem daily and if all the suggestions that have been showered upon the harrased | moguls were adopted there would be more judges and referees in the park | the night before the Fourth than cash | customers. Today the commissi-rers argued together for two hours and adjourned until Monday, when the ‘weather may be cooler. Will Offer 15 Names. The plan of the commission is to submit the names of 15 naticnally known arbiters to the managers of the fighters with the hope that five will be found acceptatle to both Schmeling and Stribling. From the five the com- mission wants to chcose one man to | referee and two to act as judges, nam- ing them publicly when the gladiators enter the stadium ring. It seemed today that Clevelend was | talking of nothing but th's problem and every one interested in the title struggle had a list all ready for presen- Gunboat Admires Max Short Punch (EW YORK, June 37.—It has been some time since Gunboat Smith threw that whistling right in the direction of a hostile chin or stomach, but as a referee of note and an observer few have kept any closer tab on the ring trade in late years. The gunner has an idea that if Stribling keeps in close too often he may run into a heavy shock from the German's short but Jarring right. “I'd read about. those fellows,” Smith said, “who could knock you dizzy with a 10-inch punch. But I never believed it. Maybe it was be- cause I always like to start mine from the floor. Dempsey and Car- pentier, the two best punchers I ever met, needed more range than 8 or. 10 inches or even a foot. ‘But I saw this fellow hit Monte with a short punch and down he went. I thought it must be en ac- cident. Then I raw him hit Risko with anotker one of those short jolts and Risko at that time was no bowl of mush. Yet he fell as if he had been nailed with an ax. ‘Schmeling may not be a fancy bozxer, and he could use more speed, but he can hurt anybody he hits with that right band. He is a-dan- gerous man to start much clinching with. For he is also strong and smart and he is always willing to crowd in and keep trying. “Stribling is faster, more ex- perienced and a better boxer. But he had better keep his chin away from that German's right hand, even if it is only 10 inches away.” fFORTN EY-SMALLWOOD | 'BOUT TOPS FORT CARD | Landers and De Angelo to l{eeti in Semi-Wind-up at Army Post on July 6. THE SUNDAY SCHMELING WORKS BUTNOTTO0 HARD Gives Watchers Seven-Round Demonstration That He Is in Great Shape. BY CHARLES DUNKLEY Assoclated Press Spo-ts Writer. ONNFAUT LAKE PARK, Pa., June 27.—Max Schmeling con- vinced 750 sweltering spectators, including boxing experts from all sections of the country, that he is in excellent condition for the defense of his title against Young Stribling in [ their 15-round battle in Cleveland next | Priday night. | Schmeling went through a brisk seven-round workout in the heat of mid-afternoon and _while his_perfor- mance was not impressive to the spec- | tators, 1t was highly satisfactory to_ his | handlers, ~ Schmeling boxed four rounds and devoted the remaining three | sesstons to punching the light bag, the | | heavy bag and calisthenics. He did not | extend himself at any time, merely | coasting ‘along to get up a good pres- | | piration. In Good Condition. “What's the use of working his head off,” explained Joe Jacobs. the Ger- man's manager. “The guy is in perfect shape and it's hot today and we don't want him to work too hard.” | Mat Hinkel of Cleveland, one of the | eldest referees and promoters in Amer- | ica, sald Schmeling was the best con- ditioned heavyweight he has seen in 40 vears. He appraised Schmeiing's condition as perfact, without committing himself to the German's fightine qual- | ities. Hinkel said that Stribling. if victorious, must win within the first| three rounds, otherwise Schmeling may | | wear him down. STAR, WASHINGTON, 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

Amid this extensive program, which also includes a couple of swimming meets, the opening of a new public golf course, & 7-mile marathon foot race and the opening of the District open tennis tournament among other things, the Potomac River Canoe Asso- ciation's regatta on the Tidal Basin stands out as one of the brightest at- tractions. / ‘T will open the local regatta season. Further, it will be the signal for those club bladesmen to start the annual fireworks for the supremacy of the upper Potomac. ‘The Washington Canoe Club, which for years has reigned supreme cn local waters; the Potomac Boat Club, the Sycamore Island Canoe Club and the Old Dominion paddlers from Alexan- dria will be represented. In addition, a flock of unattached and camp blades- men are expected to turn out.
