The referee, George Blake of Cal
ifornia, stepped between the men
and raised Something's hand in vic
tory after minutes and 46 sec
onds of the last round. 1t was the
first knockout in Stribling's long
career.
A disappointing crowd Of about
$4,000 witnessed the slow, methodical
| fight in Cleveland's new lake front
stadium The gate receipts were
estimated at $375, 000-less than
enough to pay the expenses of
Madison Square Garden Corporation
of Ohio in promoting the bout.
Camera in September
Joe Jacobs, manager Of Schmel-
ing, announced today that the Ger
man would defend his title again in
September against Primo Camera,
Italian giant, under a contract al
ready signed with Madison Square
Garden.
Stribling fought game but los
ing fight. He carried the battle to
the champion in the early rounds,
but was unable to inflict any dam
aging blows. His most dangerous
punch, left hook to the jaw, did
not seem to affect Schmeling.
Stribling won three of the first five
rounds with the other two even.
Shaking off the challenger's best
punches, Schmeling started tire
less attack in the sixth round which
wore Stribling down bit by bit I'M
til the inevitable end.
w. l.. Rallies in Eighth
From the sixth round until the
finish Stribling won only one round.
The Georgia boy made courageous
bid for victory in the eighth round
and won it by a wide margin, but
was unable to discourage Schmel-
ing from his persistent attack.
Stribling was beaten warrior
after the eighth round. AS early as
the fourth he began to bleed from
the nose, and at the finish he had
cuts over both eyes and a badly
bruised and pulled mouth. Schmel-
ingS only mark was Slight swell
ing under his left eye.
The tenth round marked the be-
ginning of the end for Stribling.
Schmeling punished hirnb severely
about the body and almost floored
him with right to the head. The
bell saved Stribling, who went to his
corner arm and leg weary.
Challenger Exhausted
Schmeling appeared almost as
fresh in the fifteenth round as in
the first. AS Stribling staggered
blindly toward his corner after the
finish Schmeling rushed in and
picked up the challenger and sat
him on his stool.
"Stribling is very game" said
Schmeling. "He stood up well I'M
der punishment. 1 was not hurt
except for one punch to the eye
early in the fight and three kidney
punches. I was always strong"

TRIUMPH SAYS
CULBERTSON AS
|. He TAKES LEAD
Ely and 10 Now Ahead of
Lenz and JaCoby by
410 Points.
BY III. ALLEN SMITH
limited Press star Corresnondenf

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The Gull
bertson-Lenz contract bridge match,
currently occupying widespread at
tention. is developing into a neck
and-neck affair.
Further than that, all Squabbles
between the players are simmering
down to a definite basis, with each
side filing intermittent claims that
the others are not using the bidding
systems theey touted before the
thing got started.
The contest degenerated into a
game of teeter-totter on Tuesday
night, and finally wound up with
the Culbertsons, Ely and 10, leading
by 410 points. This practically is
nothing to write home about, as far
as bridge scores go. Man and wife
gained just 425 points during the
evenings eight rubbers, Sidney
LEM and Oswald Jacoby having
started the session with a 15-point
advantage. They play again on
Thursday night
About Those Reporters
One of the peculiar things about
the last two or three sessions is the
conduct of the press contingent.
Most of the boys speak right up and
say that it's all racket-that the
whole contest is a phoney, staged
for the sole purpose of boosting sales
on books written by the Messrs. LEM
and Culbertson.
Having unleashed these Sneers
and sentiments, these same calloused
individuals gallop down the corridor,
tip-toe into the battle room and ap-
ply their eye to the screen cracks
with all the fervor of 1926 whist
champions.
When the specimen hands are
brought out in mimeographed form,
they lay the cards out on the ia
bles and replay the hands. They
argue and fuss and carry on like a
convention of diplomats at The
Hague.
Tuesday nights session was devoid
Of most OF the fummadiddles which
characterized previous sessions. For
once, since the match got started,
CulbertSon managed to sit down
without starting an argument. He
didn't even ask his stock question
Have you gentlemen changed over
to the Culbertson system yet?"
A Triumph, Says Ely
1t was the first time a session had
ended with the Culbertsons in the
lead and Ely was duly enthusiastic.
"A triumph" he said of the 40
point lead. "a triumph for the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. called the
one-over- one-system!"
Lenz, grumpy about the evenings
loss, went right home after the last
hand without even sticking around
for his chicken al a king, the dish
that is served to all corners after
each session. His parting word to
the press was: "All I've got to say
is that Ely's not playing his system.
I wouldn't complain but he keeps
harping at us. No, I won't pose
for picture. Go take a picture of
a billy goat if you want a picture"
Jacoby, however, smiled benignly
as Papa. LEM stamped out of the
hotel and then told the assembled
press that he considers it a mere
matter of time before the gilbert
sons find themselves showed under.

TRUCKING PROBE
IN STORE-DOOR
CASE RENEWED
CuthbertSon Tries to Show
Lines Operated With
out State Approval.

Shippers and truckmen, as well as
railroad and traction attorney, were
on hand at the statehouse today for
the opening of the anti-Tom Snyder
truck probe, launched by Commits
sioner Harry K. Cuthbertson of the
public service commission.
The hearings are being held in
the house Of representatives, and
promise to benp prolonged.
Throughout the morning Cuth-
bertson queried Glenn Shively, Peru.
operator of the Wabash Valley Mo-
tor Express, in an effort to show
that he is operating trucks and ter
minals that are uncertified by the
commission.
His questioning was directed to
show that the Shively lines also are
operated in conjunction with the
Warehouse Distributing Corpora
ton and Central Union Truck Com
pany of Tom Snyder, which are To-
Gated here.
REUNIONS brlng fr0De
1t was the filing of a series of
Store Door Delivery, Inc, petitions
for certificates by Snyder, and his
testimony that most of his lines
have no permits, that caused Cuth-
bertson to announce dismissal of
he Store Door petitions and order
the investigation, with commission
approval.
Charles Rauh is president of the
Store Door company and is backing
Snyder in the companies now under
fire.
At the hearing today, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the COM
mission has no jurisdiction, that
objecting railroads are operating
truck lines without permits, and
that Snyder is the victim of COM
mission discrimination.
Cites Permit Granting
To support the latter charge, he
cited the granting of truck permits
last week to the Indianapolis and
Southeastern Traction Company,
over routes where Snyder was de-
MED certificates.
H. E. Fairweather of the TT.
Wayne traffic bureau and a delega-
ton OF twelve shippers and truck
men were on hand to support the
truckers.
Rauh said mat 80 per cent of the
stock coming into the Indianapolis
Stockyards is brought in by truck.
and thC 'mmiSsion can do nothing
about 1t, 10 matter how much the
railroads and traction lines object.
The trouble with the railroads is
that they never have, nor do they
now, take the consumer into con-
sideration," Raugh declared.
Representatives of the railwoay
brotherhoods were on hand to voice
objection against trucks. Cuthbert-
son is a former active member. He
comes from Peru.
