REAL TEST
BY Davis J. Walsh

BY DAVIS y, WALSH
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Golng
forward to bigger and better
punches upon the nostril, Max
Schmeling, the Dempsey of the
Deutchslands, will be dropped
in with Johnny Risko in a.
10-round fight at the Garden
tonight and, singularly enough,
they are billing the business
as Schmeling's "frist real
test in America. +"
1t is conceded that fame is ex-
tremely fleeting in affairs of the fist
but no one ever thought 1t would
take less than six months for some
body to try to make trial horse
out of Johnny Risko and an
authorized headlfner out OF Schmel-
ing.
A year ago John had the arguin.
concession with Heeney as to which
was entitled TO be lacerated in a
genteel way by Mr.. Tunney. Heeney
was awarded the privilege while John
captured the air, thereby causing
much indignation among the popu-
lace. The latter seemed to feel that
John had earned the right to be
politely cut in public and wanted him
to have 1t. John was ait least that
close to the heavyweight champion.
ship.
Some months later, John went
in there with George Godfrey
and, while the latter made .
most Indifferent fight, be did
contrive to bash John very pain
fully in the sun parlOr. The In.
cident is presumed to have been
the beginning of another Rlska.
Is this the end? The young man
was tougher than night in Jail at
the time OF the Godfrey fight and
since then he has been messing
around with lot of chunps. Only

sence of petunia and that. in reality,
he won both fights. although / don't
know that this makes any great diff.
ference. The old Rfsko, / should say. I
would have left no lingering doubt
as to whether he had licked pair
/ like Mal0ney and Schaaf.
But then the old Risko wouldn't
have been playing straight" to a
man like Schmeling. and I'm not
altogether convinced yet that. he
ought to be doing It. He viii have
gone back all the way TO the center
field fence If he justifies this role
| in all detail tonight
For Schmeling still has to prove
that he is everything we think he
may be. He has acted the part to
| date, ! ut 1t must be admitted that
he was off to good break because
a lot of people fancied that he
| looked like Dempsey. Perso.Ially, /
think he fights like schmeling.

SAYS CANN|BALS
 DO NOT MEAN II
Think Of Human Victims as Veal
 or Ham, Mile Claims

Paris, Dec. o7 UP)-Cannibals are nice. friendly people who really do not mean to eat human beings when they make a meal out Of d plump missionary or the fat chief of an enemy tribe. In fact, they would bc very conscience stricken if told that they had partaken of their fcllow-man.
 That is the belief of Pierre Mile, French journalist and traveller. who has written in 'Le Quoudien" about his adventures among canni- bals in the Congo. The whole mis- understanding about this man. eating business, he contends, hinges on the totem- pole, known as tanna in the language of many primitive people.
 'Fhc totem or tanna Symbolizes 10 these people a mythical anccs- tor, generally an animal" explains Mile. Each tribe believes it is de- scended from d lion. an elephant, q tiger or some other beast AS a consequence q tribesman is forbid h'il No 'ttI ol tltG dIlllildl SN liIboIlE-
 ing his tribe or any member of his tribe. He can, of course, make a supper on the people of another tribe because they arc descended from another animal
 Tn other words, when q member Of the lion clan, with epicurean zest, digests member of the COW tribe, he is under the impression that he is merely eating veal cutlet,
 Mile has observed that canni- bals after being converted to the Christian or MoSlcm faith are i'm modiately filled with horror at the idea of eating human flesh. They have come 10 realize that all men belong 10 the human race.
 Relating few of his experiences in the Congo, he writes: "I remem- bcr one day that my portcrs, who were very hungry, had captured q huge tortoise. Unhappily one of them believed he was descended from a tortoise. He refused to take part in the meal at first, but he finally gave in on account of the insistencc of the others and his own appetite. After the meal. however, he became so terrified at what he thad done that he was taken vio- fl3ntly ill.,

bell saved him.
Langford finished with q flourish.
IN the last two minutes he staged
q rally that with the cooperation Of
Ramics brought the crowd to it 5
feet and sent the customers away

moneys worth.
Just why Bill Tackctt raised the
hand Of Pete Cardcnas in the semi

crowd that attended the show and
to this writer. \ draw would have
been the faircst decision and 1t
that Vernon jackson, Los Angeles

score was three rounds for each
with jackson having a bigger mar
gin in the rounds he copped than
Pete did in the stanzaS in which he
was out in front. However. Tackett

prejudice.
Kid Milo drew soft one in the
four round special and defeated c.
IIottinger, substitute. in easy
fashion. Hottinger got the spot and
the shollacking when Al Taylor, who
met Milo last week and was sched-
uled for a return bout, was unable
to go through with his contract.
Milo could win a lot of bouts if he
would learn to set himself before
he throws his punches.
The curtainraiser was another hot
session between Young Garcia and
IIulet Naples. The bout was called
draw after four rounds. Naples,
in our opinion, won Saturday night
as he did the previous Friday over
the same opponent. It wouldn't do
any harm to give the duo another
chance this Friday evening. They
fight from gong to gong an the
way and they please the customers.
