~ ONNEAUT LAKE PARK,
Pa, June 27.-MaX Schmel-
~ ing must carry the fight
to Young Stribling If he
Is successful in the defense of his
worlds heavyweight champion
ship when they dedicate Cleve-
lands new municipal stadium with
their 15-round title bout next Fri
Nday night.
This Is g conclusion of the German
handlers today. Manager Joe Jacobs,
pointed out in particular that Schmel-
ing intends to fight an aggressive, rush.
ing battle, forcing Stribling to the de-
fense.
The battle plans, as conceived from
the training drive. indicate that
Schmeling will attempt to beat Strib-
ling with punches to the body, and
thus wear him down and slow up his
speed. Schmeling in his five rounds OF
boxing yesterday. against two sparring
partners, steadily moved forward un-
til he got in close and then drove
punches to the body. The big German,
crouching low and weaving, smashed
through the defense of George Panka,
Pittsburgh heavyweight, and then drove
lsfts and rights to the body. forcing
Panka to clinch and hold on.
Schmeling boxed three rounds with
Panka before stepping two tlmid seS-
sions with Tony Marullo, New orleans
veteran. He attempted to develop speed
in footwork and speed in throwing
punches against the New Orleans war
rior. His apparent aim was to beat
Marullo to the punch and he usually
succeeded. Schmeling kept the full
strength of his punches in reserve while
boxing the New Orleans veteran.
May Pass Up Brown.
Matte Brown the California heavy
weight, who messed SchnlSling up quite
bit in their two workouts, may or may
not be given another opportunity.
Brown was off the list yesterday and is
itching to get in the ring with Schmeling
again. They may keep him out, how
ever, rather than to run the risk Of
injury to the title holder
While Schmeling was going through
his training session, the referee ques-
ton was raging as the most important
topic of the day. Unofficial reports
from the Germans camp indicated
George Blake of Los Angeles, a noted
boxing teacher and manager of Fidel
la Barba, the featherweight contender,
would BE- highly acceptable to Schmel-
ing. Others known to be acceptable
are Eddie Purdy of Chicago. Mat Brock
of Cleveland, and Elmer "Slim" Nc
Clelland of Detroit. Both Jacobs and
Schmeling have their own ideas on the
referee, but are withholding them.
After todays boxing session Schmel-
ing will go on the air twice tonight di-
rect from his training quarters. The
first will be at pm, Eastern standard
time, and will be especially for Euro
pean listeners. Schmeling will tell his
landSmen in Germany how he hopes to
beat Stribling. making his address in
German. Others to speak to Europe
will be his trainer, Max Machon, and
other German members of his training
retinue.
Then Schmeling with his trainers,
Manager Jacobs. William F.. Carey. pres
