Give A Hand!
Ernest, right-living, energetic
young men should be en-
couraged.
Older men of prestige and
good financial standing should
aid these young fellows to the
extent that they deserve.
You may have had some
boosts when you were a young
man.
Perhaps you needed help and
could not get it.
In either case you now ap-
preciate how much more rapid
your progress was or might
have been with men Of in
fluence back of you.
Unfortunately, too many
young men are unwilling to use
all of their ability, thought
and strength to advancing their
own cause.
These are the leaners and
when they seek help and don't
get it, quit.
But the right class Of fellows
are willing to do anything they
can for themselves and do keep
right after it, and they deserve
help. .......
AS a mature person what
have you done for those you
might benefit?
You are. in, a position to be
of great assistance without
sacrifice.
Help the struggling young
fellow to travel a long, hard
road.
Think of those whom you
know; aren't some deserving Of
your aid?
To see their progress and
know that you backed them up
will add a new interest to your
own life.

" LEvELAND, July 2.-Though
Young Stribling will not

heavyweight championship
until tomorrow night. Willie, the
Cracker, is so certain of victory that
he already has mapped out his pro-
gram as champion. Rather, it should
be said, Pa Stribling has everything
arranged.
Will there be an exhibition tour?
You can bet there will. But 1t Will
not be one of those covered wagon
tours around the United States OF
America such as the Striblings went
in for in Willie's earlier days. No,
sir. This will be a tour of Europe
and the Georgian will lay his title
on the line three or four times be-
fore Christmas. At least, that's
what Pa says.
Win or lose, Stribling's next jump
will be by rail to Wichita, Kans.
There he will hop into his plane,
which was repaired at Wichita after
he cracked it up bit in Texas, and
will fly back to Georgia. After a
brief visit Willie will head for Eu-
rope. He won't attempt to fly the
Atlantic this time, because he hasn't
passed his examinations as navi-
gator yet. But some day, likely as
not, he will attempt to 60 from this

in ring history, for the right sort Of

The Georgian fighter. beyond any
question, has the stuff on the physical
side needed to win. But aggressiveneSs
Is big part of sport, and it Is an even
bigger part Of boxing. which is all man
to man. 1t will bring little glory to win
this fight and the title through clever
defensive campaign in the ring.
Schmeling has too much trouble loaded
in his right fist to risk any such method
through IS rounds.
Stribling can look back today on
nearly 300 fights, of one variety or an
other. 1t has been long march to this
spot.
There was the day when he and
Berlenbach, Delaney and Slattery were
the young light heavyweights who ruled
the game, each with his chance to
reach the top. Berlenbach and Delaney
are through. Slattery is out OF the
heavyweight count. But Stribling. now
in his prime, has the big chance if he
will only take it. He will never have
another If he fails again.
One of Striblings greatest advan-
tages is the use he can make of left
hand. 1t is a dangerous and effective
weapon, as he employs 1t any time he
decides on aggressive action. He Is
Sharpshooter with this left and he can
either cut man up or stop him cold.
His left hook to the body will be one
of the hardest things Schmeling must
face.
Fear One Hard Blow.
The one fear on the part Of the
Georgian's supporters is just thlS-that
Schmeling may land one or two jar
ring punches and after this happens
that Stribling will retire to the old log
fort and spend the rest Of the July
evening tying his opponent in more
knots than a sailor ever saw. This mas
happened before.

believe there is a big chance IN
this next start that Stribling will give
the best he has on the aggressive side.
If he does he should win, probably with
a knockout. The ring has seldom seen
any fighter who can be as far apart,
depending on the mental attitude Tor
the day or night. No heavyweight
challenger could ask for more on the
physical side. And he also happens 10
be smart. He has plenty of brains.
1t will all come down to the mental

damage. That moment will forecast

In this sector, where they had

Of the league-leading Athletics shortly
after it appeared they would step out

Not so bad, perhaps, at first consid-

A good road outfit during May when
it played at a .667 pace away from

poorest in the league. Playing in a
strange park the club seems to be

Like stray sheep, the Nationals wander
about with little idea of where they
are going and less Of how to get any
where.
Maybe the Nationals in experiencing
this slump in the first half of the cam
paign are fortunate, however. There is
too much strength among them to keep
them down. When they get their heads
