Jacobs then said that it was time for
Max to get ready for his afternoons

stairs to the porch, where Pete Riley
was entertaining some Of the camp vis-
itors, among them Tom O'Rourke. man

Dixon and Walcott. Mr.. O'Rourke
claims to be IS. but can't make any
body believe It.
About 100 yards from the cottage is
the covered pavilion where Schmeling
does h& work. Half Of the floor space
half hang the punching bags. A fair
sized crowd had arrived by automobile
and crowded around the raised flooring,
where already sparring partners were
warming up by dancing on their toes
and doing that jabbings and hooking Of
phantom opponents known as shadow
boxing. Then Schmeling came and,
after the usual poses for photographers,
the real business Of the afternoon be-

spars with Gallagher.
Max boxed in turn with Germany
Hitler, Leon Lucas Of Philadelphia.
Marty Gallagher of washington, George
Neron, the Greek, and Walter Stills of
Chicago. It was o bit hard to Judge
Schmeling's real ability by watching
him against such opponents, as, in my
opinion, Joe Cans In his prime would
have come close to trimming the lot
Of them in the same ring.
The best of them were Hitler and
Gallagher. Hitler is of the sturdy
work horse type and Schmeling set him
on his launches with a flashing right.
The blow caught him on the forehead
and he staggered way back and sat
down. was told that this was the first
time Hitler had been grounded, and
must say for him that the punch SEEM
ed to have caught him a bit OF bal
ance. Gallagher really Is a cookbook
ing youngster, but the only one Of the
lot who acts at all like Paulina in q
ring Is Stills. He covers up, but he
lacks the toughneSs of the Basque and
also Paulinos ability to dc little sock
ing on his own account.
But whoever he Is boxing, certain
facts concerning Schmeling stand out
plainly. He has large feet and they
carry him around with considerable
speed. He is faster than Pauline. He
has left jab which is fast. but doesn't
look powerful, and q left hook to the
body which has plenty Of steam. Pau
limo Is hard to hit in the body.
Max has one Of the best hands I ever
have seen. He can punch with 1t from
all angles and all distances. His short
carry dynamite. When he stands
straight and shoots that right full
length he reminds you strongly of
Dempsey He can deliver a furry OF
short punches faster than any heavy
weight / remember.
Schmeling has tried to copy Demp-
sey's weave, but the result is more OF
and come up hitting. Max straightens
and then hits. His straight left leaves
him wide open for a right to the body
and with his slim waist I don't know
how we'll he can take body punches
But Paulino's best hand Is his left. He
never has shown any great right-hano
body punches.
Schmeling Impresses O'Rourke.
Tom O'Rourke, who has been watch.
Ing, developing and managing boxers all
his life. was impressed with Schmeling
He says that he is q better boxer thar
Pauline, is faster and will hit five time:

From the standpoint of experience
Pauline has all the better Of 1t. He hal
