pfeamble, or for that matter
adoo, we intend today to tell
Washingtonians and any others
who care to read, what kind
of a fighter they viii see in
Senior Pauline Whatsisname,
when and il they 60 to the
Milk Fund fights IN New York
come Thursday night.
Pauline whatsisnane Is, as wen
as this trusty old typewriter can
describe, about as near to the type
of fighter that Tom FIesney was
when he met Gsns Tunney is any
thing YOU would want to see. Do
not imply by this that Whatsisna narns
viii be licked BY Schmelins Thurs
day night as badly as TunTtey beat
.Heeney-the comparison between
-Whatsisnani6 ana Heeney Is here
made merely to give you = words
eye picture Of Pauline in the brfet-
est possible manner.
More specifically Pauline is not
. stand-up fighter Hike Sullivan or
Fitzsimmons.
He crouches.
He is strictly an infighter.
He is a sucker TOR q right.
Mote: Schmeling has cneo
He crowds bis opponent per.
sistentIy and swiftly with his
chin pressed to his chest and
with his big shoulders as barri.
: calles and eyes always search.
s. ing for an opening.
He comes pressing In with both
fists cooked before his face, ready
70 shoot for the jaw or the body
with either.
Because Of his crouch, it is very
difficult to reach his mid section
except when off-balance or in the
heat Of an exchange Of blows.
Pauline WhatsisnaIae has no
science to speak of and man as
good as yTunney or clever as.
Loughran could blind him with a
good. straight right.
Yes, Paulino's style, from feet to
chin, is Heeney's over and over
agar. He has the same stout,
well-propped legs, the square torso
and square chin (which he tucks
well back when in conflict. His
hide is Of rhinocerous leather, so
to speak, and outside of q1ite 4
display Of gold teeth. betEr upper
and lower, he shows no effects OF
d ring career, which dates back to
September, 1928.
Something's first professional
fight was q year later and, for
comparative purposes It might
be well to make q mental NOTE
right now that Pauline is 80
and Schmeling nearly sir years
. younger.
Extensively, we would say Pau.
liIlo Whatsisname's best weapon is
his left. which he holds until he Is
squite sure he has an opening. He
seldom misses with it, although his
right. very often goes astray.
& With his sparring partners he
aims for the body more than the
head, but that is probably to spare
their features.

always so much under c3ver it is
not easy to say whether they al.

certain other ones when one hap.

Indian, was fired out Of camp be.

ssWhatsisnanne in SATURDAYS session,
Showing up Schmeling's opponent
TO no little degree.
Not having seen that session, we
couldn't say definitely, but that is
the official word around here and
makes nice gossip whether or no.
One thing is certain, Touch.

other. Bud Howard, former

champion, and Jack DeMave
are the only two spar boys left
In camp and. their work will
wind up today in a very private
session In which only news

We believe that yesterday we
pointed out one apparent weak.
ness in Schmeling's work--that of
slightly telegraphing his stuff--and
II we are not mistaken, Pauline
Whatsisnanae has a fault in his
delivery which will bear watching.
Alas and alac-a-day, Senior Whatsis-
name hits very low some times,
sven against his hired help. The
referee, whoever he may be, will
stand for none Of this, you can lay
to that, and we can't help but think
what pity it will be- should this
fight be ended after any such a
manner as a. foul. You may recall
Pauline lost to Delaney that way.
II We cannot conceive that Pauline
Is doing this Intentionally, hitting
very close to the danger line, but
Intentional or not, his handlers can
afford to correct it within the next
two days, for a boxing referee does
not ask the intent when he sees an
unfair blow in the ring and has to
accord a victory to the injured
party.
We have not quite yet come to a
decision as to which man has the
better chance in this fight Thursday
night. Each has many attributes ip
his favor and. oddly enough, each
