woodchopper, is picked to over
i come the best right-hand shots
of his Teutonic rival, Max
Schmeling, when the pair collide
Thursday night in New York In what Is
billed as a i5-round battle for the
right to meet Jack Sharkey-the WIN
ner to be labeled as the legitimate sue
cessor to Gene Tunney. retired heavy
weight champion of the universe.
Schmeling has been called the best
right-hand puncher to show as heavy
weight In the last quartet OF moons.
The German, as a result Of his knock
out over John Risko, has been called
worthy successor to those who held the
heavyweight title in the past. While
it is true that Schmeling carries dose
of TINT In his right maulie, this writer
thinks that Max will not put over his
dangerous right in time to counteract
the Furnishing effects OF Paulino's digs
to the body.
Has Destructive Blows.
In training here Pauline has shown
an amazing aptitude for short, hard
clouts to the body and lifting over
hand hook to the jaw. These have
worked destruction to his competent
staff Of sparring partners, and when
Pauline can land effectively on men
who have had more experience than
Schmeling the feeling persists that he
can do likewise with Max, despite the
superiority of the latter's punching
power.
It is presumed that Schmeling will
fire away with all he has, depending
on his right to bring home the bacon.
On another line of reasoning, 1t may be
that Schmeling will lay back and per-
NIT Pauline to set the pace, depending
on his longer reach to pile up points
and gain the decision. If such Is the
case, the cash customers who viii be on
the lookout for a swift punching duel
will be in for a disappointing evening.
If Schmeling does not set the pace, it
is a sure thing Pauline won't. Pauline
is at his best when his foe is tired or
when he knows that his rival cannot
punch. Pauline knows only too well
that Schmeling can punch. He has seen
the German edition of Jack Dempsey in
action and was impressed. He will see
that his chin is not exposed to the
lethal blow.
Pauline the Patriot.
Spurred on by the Basque battle song,
''Betigor Pauline" which means
s'March Onward Victoriously, Pauline" :"
the Spaniard Is set to do his nlightiest

lieves he is ordained by fate to put

race he sprang from. -.
Schmeling is not q good defensive
fighter. He viii be open for heavy
shocks to the body, and 1t is UNDER

Schmeling has to offer and plunging in
for more, with his golden smile shining

hstic stage this week.
The so-called German Dempsey"
and the Spanish woodchopper clash
over the 15-round route at the Yankee
Stadium on Thursday in one Of the
years most important bouts. Some of
the more optimistic Of fans believe
that out Of the bout will come the next
occupant Of the heavyweight throne
vacated by Gene Tunney.
Theye would-be seers are basing their
belief on the theory that Schmeling will
win decisively. The Teuton sharp
shooter certainly has done everything
that could be asked of him in his few
appearances In America and a triumph
over Pauline undoubtedly would boost
him into the same class as Jack Sharkey
and Jack Dempsey. the two leading
contenders for the crown.
But the catch in all this is the from
chinned Pauline. The Basque has
fought them all and never been
dropped. He has lost few decisions
here and there. but the majority of his
appearances nave Deen winning ones.
There Is considerable doubt In the
minds Of some experts whether Schmel-
ing's right hand can halt the ever
crowding woodchopper and whether
the .Teuton can withstand Paulino's
body attack.

Both are fapeQ nlSn up LOT Tie Coiu-
ing open, because both ere long ana
straight with wood and iron and both
are first-class putters. Either Is quite
good enough to win any championship.
The odds against each come from
entirely different causes. They are
against Mac Smith because the
breaks have been, against him 30
long that he finds it difficult not to
get overkeyed. They are against
Horton Smith because his cham
pionship experience has been quite
brief. Yet the odds against neither
are overwhelming. They are as
strong q pair as any other In the
field, with just as good a chance to
win.
Both are fine wooden-club players
from the tee through the fairway. Both
are fine, long-iron players and fine
nlasi1ie players. They have all the stuff
from which champions are made. And
Winged Foot, calling for both strength
and control. Is just the course that
suits their games.
Both are sound stylists. They play
with an almost monotonous ease. Mac
Smith is the king of the swingers as
opposed to the hitters. Two or three
years ago he played 1S consecutive
tournament rounds at an average OF
7o12 strokes per round. That shows
his consistency.
Either Can Win.
THERE are perhaps 10 golfers who
l. can win this open without inter-
tecting an upset of any sort.
Mac and Horton Smith are two OF
the lot. The championship golf touch

There is perhaps no room in home
that should express personality in deco
ration more than the bedroom. The
main rooms of the house are for general
use. and apart from any definite decora-
tive schemes that may be carried out in
them there is an atmosphere about
them of varied personalities. This is
correct, for whoever continually en-
joys the rooms must find in them GER
tain things that appeal, certain things
that exactly suit their preferences, and
in a measure, therefore, express their
own personalities. There is and should
be a definite idea of the composite in
the living room particularly. and this
idea should be inStilled into other main
rooms. 1t is left for rooms devoted to
the use of one person to express solely
the occupants personality. Chief among
such rooms is the bedroom.
There Is charming freedom from
conventional decorative restraint that
Is permissible in chambers. Here the
occupants can surround themselves with
the things of their choice, and il artiS-
tically arranged the rooms possess not
only character but pleasing effects. Tro-
pixies can appropriately hold conspicu-
Gus places. Photographs of friends and
snapshots Of places visited during
travels or of favorite hauntS nearby can
consistently ornament the walls.
Photographs beSpeak the intimacy of
friendships or the pleasure of places,
and nowhere else in home can they
more appropriately be put than in ones
bedroom. It Is a pleasure for the occu-

pant to be surrounded by friends and
views of ones liking.
A boys room should be so decorated
that it will suit the things he will be
sure to have in prominent view. If he
is fond of boats. his things will have
the flavor Of the sea about them. II
he is college lad, there will be flags
and streamers of college rather than
ships. Let the walls be backgrounds
for sporting things. II he is fond of
books, he will strew tables and chairs
unless bookcases are provided. The
home decorator should work with the
boy in planning schemes for decoration,
and thus increase his interest in the
room and decrease their own work In
caring for the place.
A girls room Is just the opposite type,
generally having about it dainty femi-
nine touches. Even If the girl is q
great sportswoman, she will express per-
sonality in its decoration in way quite
different from her brother. There will
be feminity in her surroundings or the
room will be lacking in its atmosphere.
The Importance OF parents allowing a
child perfect freedom to express per-
sonality in his or her own room should
be remembered. This does not mean
freedom to leave things in any untidy
way, which merely signifies disorder
and lack of interest. But there should
be freedom for the display of articles
meaningless to another, but conveying
to the owner pleasant memories or ex-
pressing that subtle element of human
nature known as personality,

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

April 20, 1S59.-The friends Of the
movement for the annexation Of George
town to the City of Washington are re-
ported today to be moving forward in
the matter with degree Of earnest
ness and zeal which has rarely char
acterized any portion of the people of
that town in any similar movement.
Announcement was made today that
those who favor the plan are now
thoroughly organized ard have put COM
mitteeS to work in every department
Of the town procuring the signatures Of
all citizens who will lend it their
support.
judging from the character of the
present movement and of the gentle
men who are actively at work in the
matter, 1t will not be permitted to go
to sleep again until it is fully consum-
mated, or 1t is ascertained to be wholly
impracticable, which no one who has
given the matter any consideration is
willing to admit.
The careful course which the friends
of the measure are pursuing in keep
ing 1t entirely Invested of any other
question and presenting 1t to the pub
lie mind solely upon its own merits, and
also the weight of the arguments now
brought to bear upon the question, are
daily winning for the scheme many
warm supporters, according to the latest
information available.
The leaders of the movement made
preliminary canvass to ascertain the
trend of sentiment in Georgetown. and
they are convinced that, even If the
vote were taken now, without further
agitation or discussion of the advan-
tages which would accrue to the people
of Georgetown from the proposed an
nexation, it would probably receive
very considerable majority.
The musical convention now in prog
ress in the Smithsonian Institution is
of such a character, according to local
musicians, that it can hardly fail to
conduce materially to the elevation of
the musical taste of Washingtons anna
teurs. The sessions are being conducted
under the direction of Messrs. Bradbury
and Perkins. Mr.. Bradbury is well
known as thoroughgoing musician and
conductor, and Mr.. Perkins is tenor
whose voice has been much admired.
