Max GoinEHome' to See Olympiecs : Americans Retain Polo Trophy NEW RESPECT IS SHOWN | o BRADDOCK AS CHAMPION| Louis Expected to Start Come-Back Cnmpfign in August—Jim Warns German to Take Care of Right Fist Until Fall. BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 20.—Leaving unsettled for the time being the question as to whether Joe Louis, the bombed bomber, was more shell-shocked today than the survivors of the 99.9 Per Cent Wrong Club, the fistic world surveyed the results of the upheaval created by Max Schmeling’s smashing 12-round knockout victory. Between alibis and headaches was determined (1) That Schmeling will fight Champion James J. Braddock for the world's heavyweight title, probably the last week in September at the Yankee Stadium, (2) That it’s still uncertain whether Madison Square Garden, with Brad- dock under contract, will wage a pro- motion battle with Mike Jacobs, who has signed Schmeling, or whether the rivals will patch up their differences and jointly conduct the match. (3) That Schmeling will return to Germany via the Zeppelin airliner, Hindenburg, leaving here next Tues- day night, to receive the plaudits of | his countrymen and see the Olympic | games in early August before returning to the United States. (4) That Braddock. with his judg- ment of Louis and the Negro's vul-| nerability sustained, stood at the head of the heavyweight class, without any | apologies being offered for him for the | first time since he knocked the crown off the curly head of Max Baer a| year ago. | (5) That Louis, despite the shocking | unexpectedness of his downfall, is by no means “through,” and will start a come-back campaign, possibly by August, with a view to fighting his | way back into the championship pic- ture by 1937. (6) That the sports-writing fra- ternity, while ungrudging in its tribute | to Schmeling for his great fight and freely admitting the error of under- estimating the German's come-back prowess, stuck by its guns with a chorus of “If we had to do it all over | again, we would still pick Louis.” A SOMEWHAT foggy round robin of conferences between managers and promoters during the day failed to develop any definite line on the set-up for the Schmeling- Braddock battle that the fight world assumes will take place early this Fall as the climax to the most startling | it Conferences Unproductive. | pair of form reversals in heavyweight | messages to Schmeling from Lhe‘ ning punch against Max Schmeling, history. The Garden has until July 29 to| make good on its contract obliga- tions with Braddock and produce the signature of the No. 1 challenger, Schmeling. Meanwhile the German has signed with Jacobs and the Twentieth Century Club on a similarly | conditional basis, namely, that Brad- dock will be produced. This obvious deadlock leads to only one logical conclusion: That the boys on opposite sides of Eighth avenue, along Forty- ninth street. will bury the hatchet and get together. Mike Jacobs talked this afternoon | with Joe Gould, Braddock’s manager, as well as Joe Jaobs, the German's fistic pilot. They all agreed the match “must be made,” but came to no conclusions otherwise. All concerned, except Schmeling and Joe Jacobs, had been so convinced that Louis would en®rge as the title challenger that it was necessary to go back and start | negotiations all over again. Braddock Warns Schmeling. BH.ADDOCK posing with Schmeling during the post-mortem proceed- ings, took the German's right fist— the weapon that exploded the myth of Louis’ invincibility—and said: “Take good care of that, Max, until Sep- tember. You will need it.” His left eye still tightly closed be- hind dark glasses, but his battered face all smiles, Schmeling countered quickly: “Dot’s a goot idea, Jim. I take care and I expect I vill use it.” While the experts shook their heads sadly over the belated discovery that Louis was a “sucker for a right-hand punch,” Schmeling seized the oppor- | tunity to rub in his pre-battle state- | ments which got such scant atten- | tion beforehand. “From the pictures I knew Louis could be hit with a right-cross or a short right, delivered from a crouch,” repeated Max. “So dot's what I con- centrated on. I was not sure just how much I could take from Joe's left, but I vos villing to gamble. “Why should I be afraid, anyway? All dot talk was so silly that I heard or read. No matter vot happens, no fighter who makes fighting his busi- ness should be afraid. Did you ever hear dot Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jef- fries or Dempsey vas afraid before fighting? I should be selling cake, instead of fighting, if I feared Louis or anybody else.” Arguments raged over which of the 100 or more right-hand smashes Schmeling landed during the 12 rounds did the most damage. Schmeling said he became confident at the outset that when he landed hard to "the Negro's jaw in the third round he was sure he was on the winning track. Julian Black, ome of the erstwhile Bombers managers, insisted the fourth round blow that floored Louis for the first time was the pay-off punch. Many considered that the blow Schmeling fired to the Negro's Jjaw, just after the bell ended the fifth round, had & more paralyzing effect than any other. Nearly all agreed that the final knockdown wallop, in the _ twelfth, was just forceful enough to topple the already dazed, weakened Brown Boy. Joe Loses His Aches. DIBATING the combined effects upon Louis and his future, most experts agreed with Black that the Negro's first defeat in 28 professional fights might, eventually, do him*more good than if he had achieved another conquest. While Black did not say so, it was clearly evident the Negro's | feet without taking a count.” | entirely. much cockiness in his meteoric rise; that he loafed too much during his long training period, and that the. five-month lay-off took the edge off his previous fighting form. Louis took the defeat “all right,” Black said, and freely admitted he had underestimated Schmeling. Joe, up early and little the worse for the beat- ing he took, ordered a turkey with trimmings for breakfast. He took a morning train for Detroit, accom- panied by a bodyguard, after cancel- ing an engagement to appear at a benefit in Newark, N. J. “It's second-guessing to say so now, but Joe was brought along too fast for his own good,” said Black. “He has averaged better than a fight a month since he turned professional. He will be back in the ring as soon as he has rested and we have had a chance to make out a new campaign for him. | He's only 22 and just starting.” Tunney Points Out Error. NEXPERIENCE under fire, it was agreed, proved more costly to Louis than any other factor figuring in his downfall. As Gene Tunney pointed out, “the tipoff on the boy’s lack of seasoning came on the first krwck- down when he scrambled back to his It was axiomatic with Tunney that a good fighter knows enough to take ad- vantage of as long a count as pos- sible. Gene knows, because he got all of 14 seconds to recover on one cele- brated occasion. But Joe's inability to muster any defense for Schmeling's crushing rights puzzled all who marveled at| the ease with which Max crossed his | “Sunday punch.” Harry Wills, the black menace of a decade ago, sug- gested Joe had “never learned how to duck.” The erstwhile bomber’s foggi- ness, from the fourth round on, partly explained his glaring defensive weak- ness, but did not solve the mystery It was even suggested that Joe was “foggy” before the fight started, but this sounded suspiciously like one of the old-fashioned alibis |and was promptly discarded. The somewhat frantic search for a “white hope” that began with the dy- | namic rise of Louis to fistic heights | a year ago collapsed as abruptly as rival | did the fortunes of the chocolate | clouter. Max Schmeling attended to that with such neatness and dispatch | that he still was being deluged today with telegrams of congratulation from all parts of the world. Promptest and | most enthuslastic was the stream of | South, while New York's Harlem and its Detroit counterpart were wrapped in deepest gloom over the fall of an idol. SCHMELING TOAST OF GERMAN REICH Broadcast of Great Ring Upset Repeated—Nation Thrilled by Win. BV the Associated Press. ERLIN, June 20.—Max Schmel- ing’s place among Germany's sport immortals was secure tonight as a result of his| amazing knockout victory over Joe Louis. Throughout the Reich the Black Uhlan’s comeback formed the sole topic of conversation. So keen was the demand for an eye-witness report of the fight that the nation-wide broadcast of the early morning hours was repeated, from wax impressions, at the more convenient hour of 7 o'clock tonight. The relatively few who stayed up | for the original broadcast were well rewarded. The German announcer | sometimes almost forgot to continue the round-by-round description in his excitement. At other times his voice was drowned out by the bedlam at the ringside, but in the main German listeners were given an excellent picture of Schmeling's sensational triumph. Congratulated by Hitler. (‘HANCELOR HITLER himself headed & long list of persons high in German political life who sent con- gratulatory messages to the boxer. Among these were the crown prince, Frederich Wilhelm; Dr. Paul Joseph Goebels, minister of propaganda, and Hans von Tschammerosten, sports commissioner. The telephone in the home of Anny Ondra, Schmeling’s actress wife, rang so continuously that Anny, and later her maid, went into hiding. There was very little betting on the fight in Germany. Germans generally considered it unpatriotic to bet against Max and his chances were rated so low that it was thought un- wise to place so much money on him. Boxing promoters put out initial feelers to learn whether Schmeling’s proposed title match with Jimmy Braddock could be held in Germany. et DIZ DEAN TOP HURLER Passes Hubbell, Mungo in Fans’ All-Star Team Vote.

June 20.—Many of | | N the experts, who seized yards | | of loose rope and hanged themselves by forecasting Joe Louis could name his round and win- stubbornly stuck by their judgment today as they dangled from their self- | made nooses. Others felt something like the cén- demned man, who, en route to the electric chair, muttered: “This will be | & lesson to me.” Back from their hotels, homes and newspaper offices, where they received an unmerciful “riding,” the experts demonstrated their ability to “take it” by joining a luncheon party thrown in honor of the Black Uhlan who executed his advertised executioner before a bewildered throng last night at Yankee Stadium.

The kidders, who failed to discover one writer before the fight who seri- ously picked Schmeling to win, swung into action as the party progressed. Heavyweight Champion James J. Braddock had a big time for himself as he barged into the party without an invitation. Autograph seekers, who had ignored him for months as they read vivid tales of the Brown Bomber, besieged him until he raced for cover. “I'm all out of practice,” said Jimmy as he shooed away an autograph hunter in final desperation. After a short talk with Schmeling, he left. “So long, Max,” said the champ. “See you in September.” . Homer Standings Ry the Associated Press.

ETROIT, June 20—Tommy Bridges just about knocked the New York Yankees' reputation as heavy hitters into a cocked hat today as he pitched the world champion Tigers out of a seven-game losing streak with a 5-to-0 shutout over a very docile murderers’ row. The slim right-hander held the clouting league leaders hitless for six | frames, limited them to five safe blows altogether, handed them their first shutout since May 12, struck out 11 men and snapped Lou Gehrig's con- secutive game hitting streak at 18. He failed, however, to cut the Yanks' American League edge from five games since the second-place Boston Red Sox also were defeated, but his win pulled the Tigers up from sixth to fifth place. While the Yanks were being mowed down inning after inning the Tigers found Johnny Broaca, the New York starting pitcher, more or less easy, touching him for all their runs and 13 hits in the seven innings he worked. ~Walter Brown, who re- lieved him, stopped the Tigers cold for two frames.

Matched against David Jones, former Columbia University star, in the sin- gles final, the lanky Californian had to put into play a lot of his wizardry to turn back his compatriot, 6—4, 6—3.
