TALKING
IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

ATEW YORK. June 27.-Up At the
~ Yankee stadium tonight the
fur- brings in IFS verdict whether
Young Max Schmellng of Germany IS
another Dempsey or fust something
the cat dragged IN. The Black
Uhlan Of the Rhine, as ne Isl
ricturescuelr tilted meets Paolno
Whcost OF the Basque country and
cftv I'm a fifteen rounder for the
BENEFIT Of their personal bank &C
counts and the incidental enrich
ment Of the milk fund
Tt is the first heavyweight
spectacle Of consequence since
James Joseph Tunney scornfully
tore the feathers from rs proud
knuckles. tossed them into re-
ceplacle. called his motor and
said, Home Jimes.'
ASIDE FROM DEMONSTRATING THAT
THE GERMAN IS BETTER OR WORSE
THAN THE BASQUE The BATTLE is
WITHOUT POINT or PURPOSE. AR
TIsTICALLY SPEAKING. SINCE NO
CHAMPIONSHIP OR ANY OTHER VITAL
CONSIDERATION is INVOLVED.
THERE is a disposition on the
4 part Of the box Office people to
view the German as the savior Of
the heavyweight trade admittedly
now in a state Of morbid depression.
There are no spectacular attractions
around II is argued that if Schmel-
ing can knock the Basque of his
feet he will automatically put the
division back on its feet.
THE turnstile experts estimate
/ that Schmeling and Paolino
will draw no more than half a mill
lion dollars tonight. IT they do that
well no one should complain. Few
nonchampionShip fights have done
better. This is not only a non
championship fight. but one Of the
principals -PaOlino-has been beat
en- several times. To the average
customer he is about as much of
novelty as dsndruf on a coat collar.
7 rather look for rOusing bat
4le with no holds barred and be
cause 7 have never liked PaOlinO's
style Of fighting. I am inclined to
side with the Herr Schmeiing.
Professor win NIcCarney was talk
ing to me about the fight a few
hours ago. The professor has a
piece re Schmeling, but his bust
ness preiudiceS do not keep him
from speaking his mind if any.
r
"Tr-r GERMAN WOULD HAVE TO BE
AZ AWFUL MUG TO LOSE TO PAOLINO,
TF SAYS WITHOUT EXACTLY EN-
00PsrVCi THE PROFESSORS IMPIOUs
FrRAsrCI CCT FEEL THAT HIS
SENTIMENTS PRESENT A REASONABLY
FAITHFUL. PICTURE OF THE YOUNG
NAN AND HIS FUTURE; ~ HE CAN'T
BOUNCE TIVE BASQUE AROUND-WHo
HAS BEEN BOUNCED AROUND BY NON
EXPERTS. INCLUDING HEENEY. RISKO
AND cODFREY-HE JUST DOESN'T Be
LONG.
A BOUT the only edge that Pao-
~ limo would seem to carry is that
he is more experienced: he has
fought better men. been in tougher
spots. and there is>no doubling his
ability or willingness to take 1t.
What Paolino can and can not 40
are well and painfully known. The
uu6eciphered mystery in this fight
is the German. All that IS definite
" known of him is that he breatheS
through his nose like Dempsey,
wears plus fours. is good to his
mother. owns on Enelish barking
dazchund and can hit like blszes
with q right hand
How he reacts to punishment
and whether he falls to the north
or south in seeking tho canvas
is ? point on which a great num-
hr~ If ekertics demand enlighten-
r,e~t and information as well as
a full bill of particulars.
-rr Fr77 g RECORD SHOWS HE HAS
p-r~ SWEPT Off TIE CANVAS AFTER
COUNTS or TCN on THREE DIFFER
r,-T AND DISTRESSING OCCASIONS.
CrR~UIsTANCTs WEIGH DO NOT
SPEAK AVv TOO WE'LL EITHER FOR
TuE 1NFEPv1OUsNEsS OF HIS CHIN
or TIE HIGH MORAL TONE OF HIS
FIGHTING SPIRIT.
And vet. remembering the crudi-
ties Of the Basque, YOU feel, along
with the professor, that
The German would have to be
an rwful mug to lose to Paolino.
And he may be precisely that, for
all vOur correspondent knows.
