HICAGO, August 21 —If Max | Schmeling’s eye, injured in | his fight with Wiilie Strib- | ling, is able to function normally the Ndtional Boxing As-| sociation will expect him to de- | fend his world’s heavyweight title | s before January 3, 1932.

A. still rates Sharkey as | No. 1 among the American heavy- | weights and I believe that if he will g\ext two or three fights under his belt fore meeting Schmeling he would give the German a great fignt.” Which | indicates that in so far as the N. B. A. | is concerned, Sharkey may have anoth- | er chance at the title if he wants it. | Gen.
