schmeIing and stribnnr.

Schmeling and Striblfng.
TIME German champion and the
Georgian challenger now have
about 10 days of training left.
but they both happen to be
types who always keep in good condi-
ton. These next 10 days will be largely
q matter Of sharpening up and pointing
for the keen edge on the night Of July 3.
What Stri5ling must work for Is
greater aggressiveness, for he will need
that to win. And what Schmeling needs
Is one or two rough and tumble scraps
against the best sparring partners he
can ind to Offset the fact that he has
had only four rounds of real fighting
in almost two years.
II Stribling can carry an aggressive
attack into the ring, he should be one
Of the best heavyweights in years. But
that is a mental attitude that he must
force. It hasn't been natural in his
most important fights. He has more
speed than Schmeling, he Is faster, far
more experienced, just as strong and
as crafty and just as hard q puncher
when he lets pne fly.
But Schmeling has been the more
aggressive ring man in most of his
contests, and this matter of aggressive
ness Is more often than not the win
ming factor. The German Is game
enough and he can hit. He can also
take it, as far as one can find out I'D to
date. But he isn't a great boxer and
he isn't exceptionally fast. He had
nothing like Sharkey's ring speed, and
Stribling can match Sharkey.
The German is the first foreigner to
take the title from America since Sui
Ivan reigned. At this point the division
of opinion Is about equally split as to
whether he will keep it or whether
Georgia will take 1t over to help re-
plenish the gaps brought on by Bobby
Jones abdication.

T HE Virginia season for black bass
