NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.--
Having discovered the Other
evening that the only fighter
who really loses is the fighte,
who isn't present when thu
help is paid, Max Schmeline
is soon to emerge from his hid
| ing place before somebody
gives the heavyweight title
away for ten profit-sharing
soap wrappers.
The Herr Schmeling left US in
q dudgeon some time ago, vowing
ne'er to return, but that was be-
fore sharkey slapped Loughran
slue-footed the other evening,
causing the Reilly-Jacobs-M Mccartney
team to decide on their new watch.
word; out Of the sauerkraut by
Christmas.
They figure on digging him out
within a month, as a matter of
fact, and the Herr Jacobs Is to be
despatched next week to Germany
with some of the best sauerkraur
diggers of modern times.
The answer e t'iat there is
half million dollars waiting
for Schmeling here i'm Sharkey
fight. Ii they ever can get him
unwOund from the red tape of
mis- multifariOus difficulties.
This might not turn out to DO
one of the grapples of the genera.

that today 1t stands as the fight
of the year. They could pay.off

this one without asking for q
further report from the subconmit.

million it would draw would give
the garden it's first real winner
since the DemLssr-Tunney fight in
Chicago.
This fight looks so natural" that
1t could be laid out by an under
taker and still live.
Sharkey has been built up bigger
than a patrolman's foot with his
three-round knockout of Loughran
on Thursday night. He has Mr..
Muldoon's approval as the Ameri-
can and, as for John j. Sap-in-the
Street, scion Of the socially promi-
nent Saps-in-the-Street, the Sharkey
gent can have the worlds title and
welcome. There Is, in fact, only
one man they figure belongs in the
same ball park and that man Is the
Herr Schmeling. When they get
that way about an idea. the only
thing to do is to lock the gates
and refuse to sell any more tickets.
You have, in brief, killing.
The Garden spent all day
yesterday trying to cOnnive its
way into another series Of
eliminatiOns, just to be sure that
no mistake was made in this
first series. Actually, however.
they only were after some hair.

time, saving Sharkey and
Schmeling for the cleanup posi-
ton i'm the batting order.
But the Herr Muldoon, being a
man without the finer instincts of
this life, spoiled everything by
blandly announcing that everybody
had already been eliminated except
Sharkey, Schmeling and Scott.
Scott? Where have I heard that
name before? 1t must have been

looking for q vacant elevator SHAFT

Yes, the Herr Scott is very much

they catch him in a rundown play
between the bases and firmly tag
him out Fi1lup is to be tagged, OF
course, but he is particular about
who does it. The Garden offered
him Maloney, Won Porat or Griffiths
yesterday and he sneered almost
brutally. There ia no money in
being tagged by that kind, so 1t
looks as though Schmeling ts

they were DaavANw. aNyhoN
