e Condition “Perfect,” Stribling Lets Up in Training DUSEK SEES TOUGH [ RIVAL IN ZBYSZKO CHALLENGER ENDS TRAINING TONIGHT Pa Pays a Surprise Visit to Schmeling’s Camp, but Max Is Golfing. BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. LEVELAND, June 30.—Young Stribling, confident and carefree, winds up five .. weeks of intensive training tonight in his quest for the world’s heavyweight championship. The smiling young Georgian, hallenging Max Schmeling, the| German title holder, will do his| final boxing in the cool of evening| at his camp, Geauga Lake. Scrlb-‘i ling, regarding his condition as perfect, plans to Wteeze through & light workout of four rounds. After the last glove goes swishing through the air, Stribling will desert his camp that has been his home since early May and go into seclusion, oc- cupying & residence in an exclusive residential district of Cleveland. Ma Is Will's Chef. Ma Stribling and his pa will accom- pany him, with ma doing the cooking and otherwise caring for her son un- til_he jumps into the ring to meet | Schmeling in the 15-round titie battle th Cleveland’s new municipal stadinum Friday night. Stribling attended a ball | game yesterday, while his pa motored | over to Conneaut Lake Park, Pa. for | a visit at Schmeling’s camp. Pa did not get a chance to see the German, | who was out on the golf links, but in- asmuch as Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's | manager, was in Cleveland attending | a conference on the referee situation, | the elder Stribling expressed a desire to see Will McCarney, a member of the firm Schmeling, Inc. | The eldet Stribling, with one of the camp attendants as a guide, started out for the Schmeling cottage. McCarney ‘was about to take a bath when a knock on the door disturbed him. “Hey, WIill, here’s Old Man Stribling ee you,” the camp attendant yelled. ‘Oh, is that so?” McCarney respond- “Well, kick him one for me and | get the hell away from here.” About that time McCarney was con- vinced that Stribling was actually there, but Pa had no time to stay and left shortly for Cleveland. Schmeling enjoyed & day of rest ves- terday, preparatcry to finishing up his training today and tomorrow. The smiling young German intends to do only light work today, boxing possibly four or five rounds. The finish tomor- row will also be of the lightest nature. Schmeling intends to loaf and play his usual game of golf on Thursday and depart for Cleveland by motor on Fri- day mcrning, arriving just in time to ‘weigh in at noon. e referee question was seitled to the satisfaction of all concerned yes- terday with the selection of George Blake of Los Angeles as the third man in the ring. Blake started for Cleve- land last night. He will arrive in Chicago Thursday morning and_de- part immediately by plane for Cleve- Jand. Blake enjoys an enviable record in_boxing, for his honesty and respect others in the sport. Blake Highly Rated. Blake, himself an excellent boxer, has the distinction of having developed two American Olympic champions, who later became world professional title holders. They are Fidel La Barba and Jackie Fields. Blake taught them to box while they were members of the Los Angeles club team of which Blake was boxing instructor. Blake hold’s & referee’s license as well as a 'manager’s license on the Pacific Coast. Bob Edgren, noted boxing authority and member of the California State Athletic Commission, regards the se- Jection of Blake as referee as a master stroke. Edgren regards Blake as the outstanding referee on the Pacific [Coast, if not in America. Blake h not-refereed much due to his mana- zerial connections with La Barba. He refused the assignment when it was first offered him, but was later pre- vailed upon to accept it. The com- mission also named the two judges nd alternate referee, but their names Uere " withheld until the day of the fight. Fistic Battles [By the Associated Pre POUGHKEEPSIE, N.

PIETRO CORRIL TETRO CORRI will have to g0 some to beat Babe Hunt in the feature ring bout at the Mid-City Arena's open- ing boxing show at Laurel, Md., to- morrow night think those fistic followers who yesterday watched the bronzed Oklahoma boy, Hunt, go through his paces in Argy Gerrin's gymnasium. Hunt, who boxed five rounds with Jeff Thomas, 210-pound Negro, and Reds Barry, local light-heavyweight, impressed local fans with his speed and right mitt, which rocked ‘Thomas on several occasions. Corri and Hunt met in Birming- ham once before, the bout ending in & no-decision, but Hunt figures he has improved plenty since and is confident of trimming Corri tomor- row night. It will be a 10-round bout. Interest also is running high in the 32-round preliminary program, especially in the 10-round semi- final between Herman Weiner. Bal- timore, and Mike Sullivan, Phila- delphia heavyweight. Another promising scrap looms in the Arthur De Beve-Mickey Dia- mond battle, eight rounds or less. Blake R'egarded As Fine Referee BY WILBUR WOOD. 'LEVELAND, June 30.—When the Cleveland Boxing Commission named George Blake of Los Angeles as referee of the Schmeling- Stribling bout ‘here Friday night it went & long way to instill confidence into fistic fandom as far as this bout is concerned. Before almost every heavyweight championship bout there are disqui- eting rumors. How many times has it been whispered that if So-and-So referees, Whoozis will get all the ‘worst of it. ‘This fight has been no exception. But, at least as far as the referee- ing goes, there can be no fears, now that Blake has been chosen. If old Diogenes were pottering about to- day on his famous quest he would find the man he was looking for as soon as he stumbled across Blake. The wonder of it is that George has not been given the assignment in previous championship fights. The Cleveland commission deserves credit for having the good sense and courage to go outside of the city to _get '.he best man for the job TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats |EISEMAN’S, 7th & F [Philadelphia, outpointed Bob Fitzsim- S— mons, San Francisco (10).

UDY DUSEK, the “wildeat” from Nebraska, almost would rather meet any other heavy- weight in the world than Wiadek Zbyszko, with whom he will wrestle Thursday night in the feature bout of the mat card at Griith Stadium. That is, if Dusek was looking for a soft spot. Dusek is not underrating the prowess cf the one-time champion. “He still is a great wrestler,” says Rudy. “The reason he is thought to be through is that mat styles have changed and Zbyszko hasn't the color some have. He still is one of the best.” Dusek looked good last night when he polished off Al Perretti in three minutes in the Milk Fund show at the Yankee Stadlum and gave evidence of being ready for Zbyszko. Sandor Szabo, the Hungarian grap- pler, also served notice of being ready for Milo Steinborn in Thursday’s show when he fought Jim McMillen to a slam-bang 10-minute draw last night in the Milk Fund affair.

Glane, Great Battle Rice Declares Stribling and Schmeling Both Are in Supershape for Title Scrap. BY GRANTLAND RICE. LEVELAND, Ohio, June 30.— It Max Schmeling and Young Stribling fight up to the way o they look they should put on a battle never to be forgotten. Both are in superb shape. Both are finely trained athletes, about the same height, the same weight, the same strength and the same reach. But there remain two elements to consider. One is Schmeling’s boxing skill and his experience, including the fact that in the last two years he has boxed only four competitive rounds. The other element is the matter of Stribling’s aggressiveness, & big factor in any competition, from foot ball to golf. ‘There are those who snicker and sneer at the “old will to win,” the big “take a chance,” but it is a large part of the plot in any sport. Foot ball is physical pressure, golf is men- tal and necve pressure. A big fight combines both. I still belleve Stribling has the physical elements on his side. He is a better boxer, much faster, full, strong and more experienced, and he can use two hands where Schmeling uses only one to any effect. But up to this impending meeting, Schmeling has been much more on the aggressive side. Stribling has yet to reach the peak he could reach if he would only turn himself loose, PRICES SLASHED Come in Today—QOur Big Used Car Sales Lot Is Now Open—Come in Early Is Predicted and whether he will do s0 on this next occasion is anyone's guess, It has been ginteresting to check up on the arguments that always precede a heavyweight melee.
