In the Sharkey fight he did not box at all, being merely a catcher for three rounds. When he finally did get started in_the fourth Sharkey ter- minaied the fight with a particularly flagrant foul Those who said at_the time of the Bharkey fignt that Max would have come on to win feel now that their con- tention has been justified by what hap- pened in the S ribling affair, so far as any attempt to peer into the future and make a positive statement is justifiable. Perhaps the greatest surprise of all was the ease with which he hammered the Georgian about the middle at close quarters, pumping both hands to the wind steadily. It had been argued that he would be unable’to break through | Willie's defense inside, the Georgian | being famous as a clutch artist. | Stribling was watching that potent right hand. Realizing that, Schmeling made sparing use of his right to the head. letting it go cnly when he had a good chance of landing with it. Mean- while he weakened the Southerner with his_drumfire attack to the body. Schmeling reminds old-timers of the heavyweights who found the long fights to their liking. Undoubtedly, he could have gone another 15 at the end of the eacounter with Stribling. He was not even breathing hard, nor was he ever in trouble. It looks like this fellow will hold the title for a considerable time unless the astute Joe Jacobs is foolish enough to allow Maxie to be inveigled into a 10- round fight, in which a slow start might eat him, One of the yarns being told, now that the fight is history, has to do with Natfe Brown, the sparring partner who gave Schmeling so much ~trouble until he mysteriously vanished to show up again the day before the fight. The story is that Schmeling made Brwon a sizable payment to meet him in a private work- out with small gloves in the German's cottage, with nobody present but the fighters and the champion's handiers The idea was to find just how Maxie would do when he took the w.aps of According to ths yarn Jacobs stopped it in the second round with Brown in bad shape. and that Natie then had to lick his bruices and prevent any one from learning what had taken place It is a good story, whether or not it i true Anderson Is Il Again. ‘ ROCHESTER, Minn, July 9 (®).—| Appendicitis has been added to the troubles of Heartley “Hunk” Anderson, senior foot ball coach at Notre Dame.

OREST HILLS, Long Island, July 9.—Exactly as was to be expected, the last 16 of the professional tournament for the championship honors of the United States includes each and every seeded player. Among them is Albert Burke of France, who is something of a fashion plate in all departments cf the game. Now it is & rather interesting com- mentary that Big Bill Tilden con- fided to the writer that he fully believes that he is destined to en- counter Burke in the semi-final round of the upper division. That lh-igrpflrsr of all Americen racket wie'ders sheuld gein a place in the s>mi-final round of the present tour- nament, the fifth under prefessional auspices, appears self-evident.

But he pulled to the left and the ball came to rest against a tree stump. He inquired if the ball could be dropped away from the stump and one of his opponents said: “Not while we are looking.” So Jimmy proceeded |to climb up on the stump and lay | fiat on his tummy and make the shot. Meanwhile Ralph Drain, who has a sense of the dramatic, had gathered all the folks from the first tee to see Jimmy make the shot.
