SCH!MELINC NOT
RECOGNIZED AS
GREAT FIGHTER
Experts Agree Material
There If 1t Can Be De-
velOped.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }

NEW YORK, June 90. UH-Max
Schmeling's future in the prize ring
has absorbed the boxing world in a
lively discussion of the strong and
weak points of the young German
heavyweight.
While Schmeling has been uni
versally praised for his decisive vie
tory over Paolino Uzcudun, hitherto
regarded as the strongest and rough
est of all heavyweights, not every
one is ready to concede the heavy
weight title to Herr Max.
Tommy Loughran, light heavy
weight champion, is one of those who
finds fault with the present ability
of Schemling. y
Schmeiing is IA good prospect,
! Tommy said, but long way from
heavyweight champion. If brought
along properly he may develop into
"A champion but he can be ruined if
he is Overmatched.
81 see Schmeling now as a good
boxer with a cool head, nothing
more. The terrific punch | heard he
had was nowhere in evidence against
Paolino or he would have won by
a Knockout -
William +. Carey, president of
Madison Square Garden, thinks
Schmeling looks like a "future
champion
"He satisfied me that he is a
great fighter by the way he whipped
Paolino, as game a fighter as ever
stepped into the ring,' Carey said.
81 think most everyone who saw
Schmeiing in action agrees with
me. -
Experience is what Schmeling
needs now more than anything else
in the opinion of many smart boxing
men.
"If Schmeling is kept active and
not allowed to think he has the
heavyweight title won, he promises
to develop into'a great Fighter said
Jack Nc Auliffee, retired undefeated
lightweight champion. 'EIe is no
Dempsey and never will be. He has
many fine qualities, including a left,
reminiscent of Gene Tunney, but l
still think his black hair is the only
thing about him that resembles
Dempsey. y
BERLIN, June %. W.P) - The
sensational prominence given by the
German press to Max Schmeling s
boxing victory over Paolino UzcUdun
in New York was cause of great
chagrin and mental anguish TO Dir.
Gustav Stresemann, German minis
ter of foreign affairs.
"We Germans used to be intc~St-
ed in Goethe the minister said,
+" but the public now reads about how
Schmcling cut Paolino's eyc.'
DIR. Stresemann, though gratified
that Schmeling won = or so he said,
- was greatly displcased because the
newspaper front pages were virtually
covered with reports of the Schmel-
ing fight while the news of the sig
nificant Reichstag debates on the
same evening rs the fight, received
hardly any newspaper notice at all.

BORAH DECLINES
POST IN CABINET
Turns Down Hoover Offer
to Be Attorney-Ge
Likes Senate Better.

BN United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--Sen-
ator William E. Borah has been
rendered the attorney-generalship
in the Hoover cabinet and has de-
clined to accept it, the United Press
learned today.
The invitation to the chairman
Of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee is understood to have been
offered by President-Elect Hoover
in a. conference with Borah here
Wednesday night.
While both Hoover and Borah de-
clined to discuss anything that
transpired between them, informa-
ton developed in authoritative
quarters that Boral1 declined to
relinquiSh his present position in
the senate.
Those III touch with the situation
say Hoover has been having diff
cult time filling the attorney-gen-
eralship.
Borah holds one of the most in
f1uential positions in the senate, and
his friends say he felt the sacrifice
of leaving the senate would be too
great to consider accepting Hooyer's
proposal.
Borah is supposed to have been
offered the secretaryship OF state,
the leading cabinet post, shortly
after the election.

fought to save the children.

to lift q skillet of grease from the
stove. The grease spilled and
caught fire, he said, the flames
catching to a curtain. The fire
gained such headway he was unable
to eXtinguish it.
He and Mrs. Ooms stumbled
around the blazing room trying to
find the children. They picked up
Sadie, and Sarah, but were unable
to locate the door, smoke and flames
barring their way.
Finally they fought their way
along the wall, still holding to the
two children, and managed to get
out. They fell in the snow, Mrs.
Ooms fainting.
Ooms tried to fight his way back
into the house and rescue the other
children, but the little one-room
place was nearly gone and it was
impossible for him to re-enter He
was burned again trying to get in
and was rendered unconscious.
Neighbors, summoned by the fire,
found the four lying in the snow.
