YANKEE STADIUM, NEW
YORK, June 28-FJ-The rising
might of Max Schmeling swept
Thursday night over the rock-ribbed
figure of Pauline Uzcudun, and left
the sturdy Basque a punch-battered
wreck along mis- path 70 the world
heavyweight championship
For fifteen rounds, before a crowd
Of $4,000 that half filed the big
American league ball park the flash
ing young Teuton cut and slaShed
at Paulino'S head and body, pulled
and chased him about the ring and
left him at the end a CORY shattered
figure with nothing but courage.
There were no knockdowns. but the
Sitting of ~Schmeling's hand in sig
Gal of victory at the close was Just a
gesture.
For the last six rounds. the only
question in the minds of the faithful
who gathered for the first heavy
weight extravaganza Of the open air
season was Paulino's ability to
weather the storm of leather that
flew at him from all angles, slashed
his features, closed his left eye, and
left the wood choppers face as
bumpy and irregular as his own
Pyrennes in Spain.
Only in the early rounds was there
q Semblance of a contest and a slow
one at that, as the Teuton, sticking
to a methodical battle plan, met
Paulino's rushes with straight lefts
to the head usually hidden behind
a barrage Of gloves and elbows.
Pauline never has been knocked
out. never even knocked down, but
as the full fury OF Something's at
tack broke about his sore and bloody
head in the sixth round it seemed
that tonight the record was to be
broken.
Max opened up in the ninth round
and set out 70 end the battle. He
stopped leaning defensively into
Pauline in the clinches. slugged with
the big Spaniard in the open, and
constantly ripped in short, iacerau-
ing punches that almost tore the
S~paniard's features apart.
Schmeling was so anxious TO bring
the matter to a decisive close that
he kept his fists at work on the
S~paniard's head after the bell
counded to end the 14th round. The
worn Basque lifted his battered
head, brought his hands back to
fighting position and tried to carry
on, too, but the effort was too great
and he fell helpless in his chair
while Referee Arthur Donovan
pulled Schmeling away.

Schmeling came into the ring first
and was greeted with a roa= OF ap-
proval. He was a tanned black
Drowned scowling image OF Jack
Dempsey. Pauline followed him
and seemed to be hardly noticed as
the crowd continued to fix eyes on
Schmeling and his remarkable re-
semblance to the old man mauler.
Jack Sharkey. Boston sailor. who
will meet the winner in September.

and drew booes. The jeers turned

the next fight Sharkey would be de-
tending the heavyweight supremacy
OF America.
The referee was Patsy Donovan.
The judges were Charles Mathie-
son and Lou Magnolia. Things were
delayed a few minutes while the
fighters posed. both calm and smil-
ing. They shook hands. gazed in
each others eyes and seemed 10
wish each other luck. There was a
contrast IN their appearances as
they stood In the ring listening 70
instructions. Schmeling vas tall,
brown and timber; Pauline swarthy
and full Of power.
Round One
Pauline walked out carefully. body
bent and arms folded across his
head to meet Schmeling's paving
left jab. Max backed away and
then put his head down to Paulino's
and they tried 70 cuff each other
