IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

hU LCFth- bAllc 81 ITO
IN threatens to be a reasonably
active week in sports. Aside from
the Poughkeepsie regatta, the Pao-
limo Schmeling fight and the Ma
tfnnaI Open golf championship there
is hardly anything on the calendar.
It's too bad the baseball fellows
did hold the Yankee Athletic series
back little while longer. That
would have maze the hysteria un2r-
irnous.
The regatta will he decided 'onIe
time between S and o'clock to-
night The experts say it looks
like Columbia, or maybe Califor-
MA or possibly Cornell, and
there's an outside chance that
Washington may spring sur
prise.
III OTHER WORDS. THE EXPERTS
AREN'T so SURE. THERE ARE NINE
c7Ews ENTERED AND THERE IS NO
law AGAINST ANY ONE OF THEM
spIAsHINc5 HOME FIRST IN THE FOUR
.FTT,E- CRUISE. N THIS RESPECT THE
Eo4T RACE DOESN'T DIFFER A WHOLE
lot FROM THE FIGHT OR THE GOLF |
TOURNAMENT. THESE EVENTS HAVE |
COT THE EXPERTS WING1NG. TOO.
THEY aren't sure whether
L Schmeling is flash or 4 smash. |
Most of them prefer to walt ana
see what he does with Paolino be-
fore making that German Demp-
sey'' tag, official.
Picking the golf winner Is much
tougher, where there are only two
poSsible winners in the fight and
only nine in the skiff haul there
are at least thirty golfers who rate
a chance to win at Winged Foot.
TO BE SURE. BOBBY JONES IS IHh |
BEST INDIVIDUAL RET IN THE FIELD |
STTT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM |
POSITIVE WINNER. He LOSES 40 /
OFTEN AS He WINS IN THE OPEN, AND |
THE FIELD DOESN'T GET ANY SOFTER |
AS THE YEARS ROLL ON. THE FIELD !
LAST YEAR WAS MORE FORMIDABLE |
THAN THE YEAR BEFORE. AND THE |
ONE STARTING THURSDAY WILL BE
CORRESPONDENT HARDER.
T THINK Id rather bet on Column
bia. To win on the Hudson by
two lengths and Schmeling to stop
the golf plated Basque in five rounds
than bet on Jones, Farrell, Hagen
or any other single entry to win the
open.
Golf Is still the most elusive and
cspricious of all games. There IS
never sny vay of telling when an
cutIander will tear off one of those
crazy rounds-mistakenly identl-
fed as inspired goIf-and spread
eagle the field.
GOLF. TO REPEAT. is LIKE THAT /
AND JONES. GREAT AS He Is. DOES
NOT FIGURE TO MAKE A HOLLOW JEST
or THE CHAMPIONSHIP. THOUGH TIE
ODDS MAKING HIM THE FAVORITE TO
WIN. ARE CERTAINLY JUSTIFIED BY
PAST PERFORMANCES. IF he IS NOT
TIE MAN THE BOYS WILL HAVE TO
BEAT. He Is AT LEAST ONE OF THEM
FOR ALL KNOW HE MAY BE ALL
THIRTY OF THEM.
ITO get back to Schmeling and
Faohno: The critical problem
involved seems quite elemental. 1t ]
consists of this: Does the Germans |
RICH hand carry enough force TO
bring the powerful wood chopper to /
the canvas? It is not hard TO hit
Paolino. Everybody has done it. And
often. But nobody has hurt him.
II IS easier To hit him in the
body than on the Jaw. but it is not
impossible to hit him anywhere.
SchmeIing NAV or may not he
the hardest hitter he has faced.
Otto Van Porat is great hitter
even II he does fight like staid
business man taking boxing in
structions. The Otto tagged the
Paolino on the potato a. couple of
times and shook him up. but that
was all. Schmeling may he able
to hit him harder. but ] doubt II.
PAoLINO HAS NEVER BEEN AN M
PRrSSIVE FIGHTER TO NE. WINNING
OR LOSING. He IS NAULING. CLAW
ING TYPE. But He Is CAGEY. HAS HAD
A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND he DOES
NOT FIGURE TO WALK BLINDLY INTO
THE SCHEM MILLING HAYNAKER,
WHETHER RE CAN TAKE IT OR NOT.
