 ROUND THIRTEEN
 Stribling jabbed the champions face but he had no defense for | sSchmeling's solid body blows and tried to keep the champion away. Polling long left as he retreat ed, Stribling landed a left on Max's chin but stumbled across the ring as he missed another. The chal- lenger's face was a mass of blood from the pounding given by Max. The champions features were not marked except by slight swelling over the left eye. All Stribling Fcould do was to shoot occasional punches.

Stribling tried firing long frantic right hand punches to the body but Schmeling stepped aside and slashed Strib- ling's body with short hard jolts. 5tribling was game but his efforts were apparently futile.
 ROUND FIFTEEN Stribling came up weak for the final round, retreating as Max pounded after him. Stribling loos- ed one looping right to the body, the shot glancing right uppercut to the Germans head but Scheml- ing beat him about the head with short handed punches As Strib- 1 ling held on, Schmeling tried to | throw him off and measure for the final blow but the Georgian was too clever despite his des- perate plight.
