1T OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

o-o-o-s-~-~s--o-- o~a
Anew YORK. June 12-The only
~ heavyweight battle Of any
magnitude listed for the outdoor
season is the one which brings to
rether Schmeliug. the German. and
TTzcudun. the Basque. here the lat
ter part Of the month, and those
filrtive gentlemen who trafhc IN
ticket futures-speculat l believe
they are called-cell me there IS as
vet no hvsterical clamor for the
haste boards. OF course the battle
is still some days of but the specs
can usually tell quite a bit in ad-
vance whether the customers are
going 70 stampede the turnstiles, or
remain away in impressive numbers.
IT tho German and the Basque do
not lure a reasonably large attend
ance IL can be written down without
further Investigation that there is
no great interest in what remains of
the heavyweight division.
sCHME1ITG IS CERTAINLY THE BEST
LOOKING YOUNG FIGHTER WHO HAS
COMB ALONG IN THE PAST YEAR AND
uzCUDUN. TOUGH AND ROUGH. IS
JUST THE TYPE or PERFORMER TO
BRING OUT THE BEST THE GERMAN
HAS IN BIN
z LOOK for the two to put on a I
i rousinQ massacre with no horrors /
barred and because the dope-which /
is to say their past performances
indicate they viii. I am surprised 7
TO hear from the specs that the dial .
in the boiler room registers only a (
mild luke warm heat.
Tzcudun is afraid that certain
sinister persons known to be
identified with the Germans en-
tourage may attempt TO give him
what the boys call the works.
UzcUDUN RECALLS THAT PETE .
REILLY. MOST P-OUs OF BROADWAY /
spop-eNrN HELPED TO TAKE a
KNOCKOUT VICTORY AWAY FROM HIM .
MANY MONTHS AGO AND He IS DIS
TuRBED TO- LEARN THAT THIS SAME /
REILLY HAS SOMETHING. IF NOT A
GREAT DEAL. TO DO WITH THE PRES
ENr HANDLING OF HIS OPPONENT.
TzCUDUN fears the influence
u may be in operation on the
nipht Of the fight and that If he
should happen to clip the German
with a left hook in the stomach, as
he did Delaney, he would be dis
qualified
hardly think Uzcudun has
anything to worry about. To be-
gin with. James Crowley Is not
likely to be asked to referee this
one. Crowley was the only one In
the park who saw the foul that
night.
EVEN DELANEY DID NOT KNOW he
WAS FOULED AND 1T WASN'T UNTIL
he RECEIVED FRANTIC INSTRUCTIONS
FROM HIS CORNER TO SEIZE HIS
GROIN AND SIMULATE INTENSE PHYs1-
CAL AGONY THAT He, WAS AWARE He
ID EILY. however. was absolutely
N perfect that night. I really |
think he is my favorite actor. In /
lust as many succeeding seconds he /
registered indignation, anger. hatred |
and sympathy. And by way Of prov |
ing that Delaney had escaped in |
slant death by the narrOwest of |
margins he moved nervously from |
one side of the ring to the other /
displaying the sturdily built pro
tector the fighter had worn.
It was crushed, twisted and /
bent out of all proportion. At first
glance, l thought someone had |
driven a truck over it. This was
very astonishing. too, because even
when a fighter IS hit by a low
punch it Is almost impossible to
dent the protector.
A SUSPICIOUS MIND SUGGESTED |
THAT POSSIBLY TIE THINGANiAJIG |
HAD BEEN JUMPED UP AND DOWN ON |
BY LARGE PORTLY POLICEMAN, BE |
FORE DELANEY ENTERED THE RING !
BUT THIS WAS PROMPTLY DISMISSED !
BY THE PURE OF HEART ON THE |
GROUND THAT NO PRIZE FIGHT MAN |
AGER WOULD EVER STOOP TO SUCH
AN EVIL PRACTICE.
THE news from Something's camp
/ informs an eager world that he
has finally perfected a left hook
that is an adequate match for his
fine right hand If this is true. I
can only say that the young man is
q marvel
The last time ] saw hint was
against RiSkO-his left hook wasn't
much better than mine, except that
il photographed better.
