SCHl, INC PLANS
 FUTURE FIGHTING
Will Come Back to U. s. S00n-
 May Meet Dempsey

Hamburg, Sept. 4 (FD - Arriving here today from the United States, Max Schmeling, German heavy weight boxer, said he intended to cut his visit short and return to America soon as he has several good fight offers.
 Although I am taboo in New York, there are plenty of opportuni- ties for fights in other states. The New York ban won't last forever either, as the present commission chairman won't maintain his stand indefinitely" Schmeling declared.
 He added that the reason he re- fused to obey the commission and go through with his fight with the Eng lishman, Phil Scott, in Ne York, was that he was offered only 26 per cent of the receipts. Max is willing to meet Scott under better terms, he said.
 Schmeling declined 10 reveal his exact plans for the future, but hint cd he would not fight Jack Sharkey if the latter were defeated by Tom my Loughran in their New York bout, Sept. 26.
 Dempsey intends to meet me for the world championship" Schmel- ing remarked, but there's plenty Of time for that"
 The reception that Schmeling en- countered here was only luke-warm due to his troubles with his mana ger and the New York boxing con- mission. He said his seven weeks American tour through 26 states had tired him out, so he had fled to the fathcrland to recuperate.

But Von Elm or some native son of California may turn the trick. According to Jones golfing philoso- phy, the first two 1S-hole matches will be the hardest for him. Once safely past this test his confidence will match his playing skill The odds are strongly n favor of his coming through the scmi-finals and the finals, if he is Lot stopped be- fore the 36-hole grind.
 Winged Foot was touted before the open as long and difficult but Jones found little use for his bras sic there. The fairways were fast but Bobby contended with rain and wind and topped the crowd. Pebble Beach is rated as one of the most difficult courses in this country but so far Jones has found it rather easy going.

Jones has not yet won his fifth amateur crown but he is nicely set to beat the field agans Every hing but his putting is perfect. But a 70 and q 75 for the qualifying rounds, with greens work none too delft is plenty good enough. Bobby is never

With that as a likelihood in the offing, coupled with the Jones com plex which makes pro and amateur shaky when match d against the open champion, it would be a golf
