GEORGE BLAKE

Schmeling Trains Off With
Several Rounds

By CHARLES DUNKLEY

CLEVELAND, June 80. Up
Young Stribling. confident =
carefree, winds up five weeks OF
intensive training tonight in his
quest for the worlds heavyweight
Championship.
The smiling young Georgian
challenging Max Schmeling. the
German title holder. will do his
final boxing in the cool OF evening
at his camp. Geauga Lake. Strtb-
ling, regarding his condition as
perfect. plans TO breeze through a
light workout of four rounds. After
the last glove goes swishing through
the air. Stribling will desert his
camp, that has been his home since
early May and 60 into seclusion, oc-
cupying a residence in an exclusive
residential district OF Cleveland
Ma Stribling and his Pa will ac-
company him with Ma doing the
cooking, and otherwise caring for
her son until he jumps into the
ring TO meet Schmeling In the Is
round title battle in Cleveland's new
municipal stadium Friday night.
Schmeling enjoyed a day OF rest
yesterday. preparatory 10 finish
ing UP his training today and to-
morrow. The young German in
tends to do only light work today,
boxing possibly four or five rounds.
The finish tomorrow will also be OF
the lightest nature. Schmeling in
tends TO loaf and play his usual
game of golf on Thursday and de-
part for Cleveland by motor on Fri
day morning. arriving just in time
to weigh in at noon.
The referee question was settled
to the satisfaction OF all concerned
yesterday with the selection OF
George Blake OF Los Angeles as the
third man in the ring. Blake en-
Joys an enviable record in boxing,
for his honesty and respect OF
others in the sport.
Blake. himself an excellent boxer,
has the distinction OF having de-
veloped two American Olympic
champions. who later became world
professional title holders. They are
Fidel LaBarba and Jackie Fields.
Blake taught them TO box while
they were members of the Los An
geles club team Of which Blake was
boxing instructor. Blake holds a
referees license as well as a man
aeer'S license on the Pacific coast.
4ba Edgren, noted boxing author
ity and member or the California
State Athletic Commission. regards
the selection OF Blake as referee as
a master stroke. Edgren regards
Blake as the outstanding referee
on the Pacific coast If not in Am
erica. Blake has not refereed much
due to his managerial connections
with LaBarba. He refused the as
signment when il was first offered
him. but was later prevailed upon
to accept IL. The commission also
named the two judges and alter
nate referee. but their names were
withheld until the day Of the fight.
