American Fashions
When you hear of civil War"
fashions, remember that our
Civil War took place from 1851
to 1865, during the second en-
pire of France, and that the
same things were being worn
here as were seen on the EN-
press Eugene, or at the court
Of Victoria. Similarly, our
fashions of the gay nineties"
were about the same as the Eng
lish fashions Of the end Of
Victoria's reign, and there were
corresponding clothes designed
and worn in France at the same
time. So, don't be confused by
all the terms used, for often the
same hustle, bow, or puff will
be named after any arbiter of
fashion in three countries.

STRIBLINC HAS
NO EXCUSES TO
OFFER If LICKED
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, o., July 2. U.P)-
A handsome southern boy who
pulled on his first pair of boxing
gloves before he was five seems like
ly TO bring the worlds heavyweight
championship back to the United
States tomorrow night.
w. l.. tYoung) Stribling, who was
Il bitter disappointment when he
fought Paul Berlenbach for the
light heavyweight title in 1926 and
who was whipped by Jack Sharkey
In 1929, should wrest the title from
Max Schmeling of Germany by the
fury OF savage attack which may
stretch the Teuton on the canvas
before the end of Is rounds, in
Cleveland's new lake front stadium.
For the first time in his career
OF 276 bouts Stribling hasn't an al
ibi ready on the eve of big fight.
The Georgia boy doesn't have to
worry about his hands. his shoulder
or his physical condition.
In five bouts in this country
Schmeling has never proved his
right TO wear the heavyweight
crown.
The German outpointed Joe Sc
kyfa in 10 rounds, knocked out
Pietro Corri IN one round. scored
technical knockout over Johnny
Risko in nine rounds and outpoint-
cd Paolino Uzcudun in Is rounds
before he won recognition as cham
pion by his victory over Jack Shar-
key on foul in four rounds last
June.
Both fighters completed training
yesterday and arrived here today to
await the weighing in ceremonies
tonight. Schmeling weighed 1901
yesterday and probably will scale
l89, about two more pounds than
Stribling, who expects to scale
about 1877

Directors of the Julian-Kane
Springs Highway commission yes
terday listened to a report by the
Butterfield Construction company

construction on 25 miles of the

DAVID SIGNED To
MEET SIKH WHEN
SILVA BLOWS UP

Because boxers do not always con-
suit their managers before they do
things, Young David is meeting
Battling Sikh tomorrow night and
that is a good break for the fans.
Skis opponent was to have been
Louis Silva, who Knocked out Louis
REYES last week. After that fight
Silva signed up TO meet Sikh this
week. His manager, however, had
previously signed him up to fight at
a coast club, and The athletic COM
mission says the managers act
stands and Silva must not fight
here. However, he will be brought
back at later date.
David and Sikh ought TO make
great match. David showed what
he can do when he made Johnny
Torres quit last week and beat him
the three rounds the fight went,
Torres refusing to come out for the
fourth stanza.
In Sikh, David will be facing a
tough fighter who likes to mix 1t
and throws gloves all the time. The
Arizona boy is a hard puncher and
he ought to give David a better fight
than Torres did.
They will put on one-half OF a
double main event, Frankie West
and Tommy Elks, the Mexican
champion, being booked for the
other. This is certain to be slug
ging match, for both West and Elks
hit hard. West cara nothing about
boxing and he is tough enough to
take it and give more in return.
Elks has met Fields, Thompson and
Young Corbett. with plenty of credit
TO himself and ought to be able to
take West, unless he permits the
latter to take the play from him.
Baby Ruiz and Kid Chocolate,
billed for the special event, look to
be one of the best matched bouts
here in a long time. Ruiz came
from behind last week to kayo Tor
tolls. after the latter had trounced
him for two rounds. Chocolate is
the idol OF San Diego fans. who
think he is just about the best in
his weight in California or else
where.
Pilino Kilat and Pilino Garcia will
open the fireworks in a four round
bout For the fans who will be in
the valley over the holiday the
tights tomorrow night will provide
bit of excitement to get them
ready for Fourth of July.
The same low prices will be in
force this week and ladies with es-
corts will be admitted without
charge.
