C., SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1931, SPORTS.’ Schmeling, Who Shows He Is Real Champion, Will Fight Carnera in September ROUT OF STRIBLING | PROVES HIS WORTH Master After First Three| Rounds, Gets Technical K. 0. in 15th. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Assoclated Precs Sports Writer. LEVELAND, July 4.—The Nation’s proudest holiday, Independence day, found a black - browed, smiling young German perched high on the heavyweight throne that has come to be a traditional American possession, acclaimed on all sides for the first time the true ruler of the kingdom. Many of the faithful who saw Max Schmeling win his crown from Jack Sharkey last June on a foul while re- ¢lining in & New York ring, were none too sure of the even-tempered foreign- er’s fighting ability. But those of the clan who peered down from the vast reaches of the magnificent new Cleve- land Municipal Stadium last night will | ncver doubt again. Schmeling took one of America’s fin- est heavyweights, Young Bill Stribling. from Macon, Ga., and in 15 rounds of his first title defense hacked and ham- mered and hewed the handsome South- erner into a bleeding, stumbling, punch- soaked caricature of the trim and per- fect young athlete who answered the opening gong. And about half a min- ute before the end of the fifteenth round, when it seemed the Georgian would stagger through to the finish and evade a knockout, Schmeling turned loose his final blast. Fourteen seconds before the final bell would have sounded Referee George Blake, from Los Angeles, ‘was forced to halt the hopeless struggle and award Schmeling the victory on a technical knockou.. . Blter Dose for Georgian, It was a bitter end, for Stribling, to a. gallant, courageous stand, but in one sense it was as much vindication for him as the stunning victory was for the German. Just as the faithful and the critics during the past year have doubted Schmeling's fighting ability, so has Stribling’s courage at times been maligned. But last night, if he got nowhere in particular with his fighting, at least he did turn in a masterpiece of bravery, dogged courage under a blistering, cutting fire that probably would have annihilated any heavy- weight campaigning today. For the first three rounds, Stribling was at his best, a tall, lean greyhound of a boxer, fast, tricky, and an accu- rate, dazzling puncher. The stolid Ger- man marched into him, half-crouching, weaving a little, and Stribling- nailed | the champion with every punch in the book. He tossed Schmeling around in the clinches, kept him off balance, and peppered him with rights until the Teu- ton’s eye began to swell and the Strib- ling fanciers sat back in anticipation | of a pleasant, interesting evening. Schmeling smiled and took his pun- ishment, never faltering, never chang- | ing his battle plan a mite, crowding forward, punching short and hard with jolting smashes to the body, curling hooks to the head. Stribling let him have the left, drilled him with the right, and still he came on. Strib Falters in Fourth. Stribling _started to falter in the fourth as Schmeling swept on like a rising tide beating against a shore. A short hook to the face brought blood from Stribling’s nose. He wavered. And from that point on, with the ex- ception of one desperate, flailing rally that carried the eighth round for him, Stribling slipped back. His right eye 1lid was cut in the seventh, his left in the tenth and he barely made his cor- ner erect as the gong ended that round. His lips were smashed, his nose cut and his blood-smeared face was & gory mask. Grimly he took his beating as the German, increasing his pace as the battle wore on, hammered him about the body, drummed cn the battered fea- tures. But badly as Stribling was hurt, the dramatic ending in the fiftcenth round came as a surprise. Schmeling caught the Georgian with a short left hook and right cross to the chin with the fight only seconds to go and down went Stribling in a heap in his own corner. He sprawled on the canvas almost under the lower rope and_he barely reached his feet at the count of 9. Schmeling tore into him, halted for a second as he senscd the gallant Southerner’s desperate plight, and looked pleadingly at Referee Blake. Instantly the Pacific Coast official stepped between them and lifted Schmeling’s hand in token of victory. Is a Financial Failure. While the battle was a fighting suc- cess, it was anything but a money- maker for Madison Square Garden of Ohio, promoters of the affair. ‘There were scarcely 35,000 in the huge am- phitheater on the Lake Erie shore that was built to hold 110,000. The gross receipts were estimated at $325,000, and if a recheck does not boost that figure | the Garden probably will stand a loss | of between $50,000 and $80,000. The corporaticn, with Schmeling now | an accredited champion, has an oppor- unity to wipe out that deficit this Fall with a match between Schmeling and Primo Carnera, both of whom are un- der contract fer the bout. The con- test may be staged here, in the same stadium, September 17.

Max’s Mother Too Excited to Sleep ERLIN, July 4 (#) —Frau Amanda Schmeling is no boxing fan, but she stayed up all night to hear by radio how her boy Max defended his world heavyweight championship against Young Stribling at Cleve- land. “I'm so excited and happy I haven't even thought of bed,” she toldethe Associated Press at 9:30 to- day, “but I guess it's high time now to try to get some sleep.” Like thousands of Germans, she waited patiently until 4 o'clock this morning when the gong sounded in faraway America. What pleased her most were the brief, panting words of her son addressed to her alone at the end of the fifteenth round. “We heard every word as plain as could be,” she said. Frau Schmeling is too much of & mother to take an interest in the ring, but she makes an exception in Max’s case. “I ysed to read the papers, word for word, but I got so upset I simply had to quit,” she said. “I told Max please not’ to mention anything about his boxing in his letters either, ond now he néver does. He knows, though, I'm always with him in thought. “Max is & good son, always con- siderate and thoughtful, and he writes often.” HUNT GIVES GORR DECISIVE BEATING Weiner Scores Surprise K. 0. in Laurel Ring—De Beve Is Winner. 'HE long, rapier-like left propelled by the angular Babe Hunt of Pcnea City, Okla., came up to expecta- tions as far as ability to find Pletro Corri's vunerable spots was concerned ing right, couldn't knock out the Brool lyn boy, so Hunt won a decision last night at Laurel, Md. Hunt twice dropped Corri, the first knockdown coming in the sixth round, when Corri took a five count, and the second in the tenth, when Corri leaped up at three. From the first round it was evident that unless Corri could finish Hunt with a single punch the fight was Hunt’s. Corri did land what looked like a finishing punch after the arnu knockdown, but Babe only shook off. ‘Weiner Scores Kayo. Herman Weiner, the Baltimore heavy- weight, provided one of the surprises of the evening when he kayoed Mike Sul- livan, Philadelphia, after 1 minute and 20 seconds of the second round of their scheduled 10-round fight. Sullivan went down for a nine coun', and rose. only to be flattened by a haymaker which he litgew was coming but was helpless to avoid. Arthur DeBeve won a decision over Mickey Diamond in' the main prelim- inary of eight rounds. Billy Edwards, colored Washingtonian, floored Hayes Scott, Baltimore Negro, in the opening round of their scheduled six-rounder, and followed it up with a knockout after 59 seconds of the second round. 7 E The show, which was attended by some 1,800, opened with a four-rounder between Billy Escinger and Jimmy Reed, which Escinger won on a decision, Women S}.lOW They Are Regular Fans By the Associated Press. LEVELAND, July 4—You can ask the women who saw Max Schmel- ing retain his world heavyweight championship at the Municipal Stadium last night if the bout was strictly a ruckus for men. The women should say not. They did more yeling than the men, judging from the noise that was fired down to the ringside. When the bout started the betting odds stood 6 to 5 for Schmeling. From the East came thousands of dollars for the German, and from the South thou- sands more for W. L. Stribling, the loser. Thursday night the odds stood 10 to 9 for the Georgian. They came down to even yesterday afternoon and crossed the line before dark. Cleveland police and firemen were mobilized on a large scale to protect the crowds at the fight and patrol the zcuu:num Approximately 600 were on 3. One of the spectacles at the, fight was the regiment of ushers, rigged in bright uniforms to look lik> admirals. ‘The first bout at the stadium wasn't on the regular })rugrum. The principals were a couple of bleacherites, The po- lice gave them a rush. Of course, the prize match was only one of the crowd's civersions. They got a good look at Mayor Cermak of Chicago, Mayor Hague of Jersey City, Gene Tunney, undefeated heavywsight champion; Primo Carnera, heavyweight challenger of the bout winner, and Jim c‘crben. one time heavyweight cham- pion. At the head of the line that formed several hours before the fight started was Mrs. Imogene Thompson, 25. She was the first fan inside. Gaily bedecked Cleveland society women were well represented at the ringside.

ENO, Nev., July 4—Reno's famed divoree mill°' was & matter of secendary importance today while the city of “speedy sepa- ratigns” celebrated Independence day with its first important® heavyweight i::r;t' 1n‘u’lhce the Jeffries-Johnson battle &ith Jack Dempsey, former heavy- weight champion, as the promoter, Paulino Uzcudun, sturdy Basque, and Max Baer, hard-punching Calfornian, were the pugilistic attractions, with their set-to scheduled for 20 rounds. Uzcudun, veteran of many long- distance bouts and with a record of having fought better opponents than his younger rival, was the favorite, al- though Baer had many backers who figured his greater physical advantages would carry him through. Baer had weight, reach and height on his side, in addition t> being eight years younger than the Basque. The Califcrnian is 22 years old and, al- though he experienced three setbacks during a recent Eastern invaticn, many followers of boxing believe he still has his best fighting years before him. ‘The black-hzired youth who stepped out of an iron foundry two years ago to run up a long string of victories, was favored with a seven-pound ad- vantage. Yesterday at the official weighing-in he tipped the scales at 202 pounds to 195 for Uzcudun. milling throngs that swelled Reno’s normal population of 18,500 nearly double came not merely to see two ordinary, if willing, stalwarts ex- change punches over the longest fight- ing distance allowed in this country. Interest was divided between the pugi- listic session, the gambling resorts which cperate under the law and horse racing The Jeffries-Johnson match 21 years ago drew a gate of $270,000. Promoter Dempsey estimated it would cost him $70,000 to put on his boxing program. He saild he would be satisfied if he cleared expenses, and if so would seek a mcre important heavyweight bout for next Labor day. GALLANT KNIGHT 2-1 CHOICE IN BIG RACE Sixteen Turf Stars Due to Go to Post in $35,000 Handicap at Arlington Track.

Y July 4 (®).— Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, be- lieves that Schmeling should have been given a chance to score a knockout over Stribling in his fight at Cleveland and | s that the referee should have .let the bout go to a finish. Sharkey said that he would meet Schmeling at any time. In his opinion the German was in much better physi- acl condition than when he met him a year ago.

BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. LEVELAND, July 4—Max Schmeling, triumphant in his world's heavyweight champlonship match with Young Stribling, is ready to batfle the man mountain from Italy, Primo Carnera. This engagement will be the powerful young German’s next de- fense of his title. Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling, said today the contest probably will be .| decided next September, but he did not know where. However, Leon See, Car- nera’s manager, was certain the date would be September 17. He was un- certain as to the location. Schmeling emerged from his cham- rlonah!n battle with a lump under his left eye, with 4 reddened right cheek- bone, but no fighter, he declared, could go through a bout like he did with Stribling without getting marked up a little. However, the lump on his cheek- bone did not pain him, for he was look- ing forward to the prospect of collect- ing between $100,000 and $140,000 for battering the pride of Georgia to & knockout defeat in the fifteenth round of their battle that finished so dramat- ically. Schmeling is to receive 40 per cent of the receipts, Stribling 121, per cent. lcl‘dll( Is Jubilant. ‘The 25-year-old German fighter, jub- ilant over his victory, believes his tri- umph wiped out whatever doubt ex- isted over his winning the champion- ship on a foul in the fourth round from Jack Sharkey a year ago. He is con- vinced that he has redeemed himself in the eyes of Americans, that he has proven himself to be a worthy cham- pion. 1Sy, |, Schmeling declared that Stribling 2| fought a tricky battle, but that the young Georglan was guilty of sticking his thumb into his eye in the first round and repeatedly fouled him with kidney punches all during the contest. “Why, you know,” Schmeling said in his dressing room, “Stribling spoke to me during the fourteenth round and told me I was a great fighter. “That was nice of him, wasn't it, Yo?" asked Schmeling, directing the ques- tion to Manager Jacobs. “That's all right,” said JacoBs, “but boy, how you did win. How you can punch.” And with that remark, Jacobs, beaming a wide smile, threw his arms around the German’s broad shoulders. When Schmeling, flanked by Doc Casey, the trainer, MacMahon, and with Jacobs, tightly clinging to his arms, reached their dressing room, the door was locked and, in the excitement of victory, nobody could find the keys. Schmeling hurled his broad shoulder at the door, attempting to smash it open. ‘Then somebody remembered to crawl through the window and cpen the door from the inside. Telis About Battle. Max perched himself on a rul table, clothed in a dressing gown, an sat_there to tell about the battle, He said that Stribling never once hurt him with those crushing blows to the chin, but that he was a good fighter and one hard to beat. “After the first round I could sce m" that I was gaining, and I kept irying for a knockout,” Schmeling said. “Aft- er. the sixth round I knew I had him weakening. I was just as fresh at the end as when I started and could have fought 15 rounds more.” Schmeling was right as regards his condition because he wasn't even takin a deep breath at the time he got bax e [to his dressing room. Tears came t his eyes momentarily when he read a cablegram from his' mother, the first d; | of & long batch of congratulatory mes- sages received from abroad and this 4 | country. Translated, his mother's message read: “Darling son, I am glad to see you as_the real champion.” In contrast to the hilarious back- slapping reception going on for Schmel- ing in his dressing room, Stribling pre- fented a pathetic figure as his father, Pa Stribling, and close friends at- tempted to hénl his wou;ldx ‘The hand- some young Georgian's face was puffed and lrruited with cuts above and punde‘l’ eyes. He went to the showers as quickly as he got into his dressing robe, and after finishing stood in the bath room a'one staring at the wall. He could hardy realize that he had been knocked out for the first time after fighting nearly 300 battles. Georgian Praises German. Stribling praised Schmelf for fight- ing fairly and cleanly. Ith;‘as a #m- hand blow that landed just above his left eye in the eleventh round that really started him to defeat, Stribl said. After that punch landed Strib- lln-l.‘hknew he &'ens beaten. e young Georgian said it-was an injustice to him to have the fight stopped by Referee George Blake with only 14 seconds to go. He argued that he had been knocked down only once and might have continued until the finish. Stribling, however, was in no condition to weather the was mblo savage W to the chin resulted seriously.
