USES -FOUR STYLES
IN AS MANY BOUTS
Also Proves He Likes Long
BattIes-May Hold Title
Extended Period.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n JEW YORK, July 9.-MaX
N Schmeling continues to be
one of the most amazing
figures that ever has
crossed the heavyweight horizon.
In his brawl with Young Stribling
the Black Uhlan of the Rhine
once more flashed a style diff
ferent from anything he had
shown previously.
In four major engagements in this
country Schmeling has fought in differ
ent styles. In the Sharkey fight he did
not box at all being merely a catcher
for three rounds. When he finally did
get started in the fourth Sharkey ter
minated the fight with a particularly
fragrant foul.
Those who said at the time of the
Sharkey f1gnt that Max would have
come on to win feel now that their con-
tention has been justified by what hap
pened in the S ribling affair. so far as
any attempt to peer into the future and
make a positive statement is iuStihable
Perhaps the greatest surprise of all
was the ease with which he hammered
the Georgian about the middle at close
quarters, pumping both hands to the
wind steadily. 1t had been argued that
he would be unable to break through
Willie's defense inside. the Georgian
being famous as a clutch artist.
Stribling was watching that potent
right hand. Realizing that. Schmeling
made sparing use of his right to the
head. letting it go only when he had a
good chance of landing with 1t. Mean
while he weakened the Southerner with
his drumfire attack to the body.
Schmeling reminds old-timerS of the
heavyweights who found the long fights
to their liking. Undoubtedly, he could
have gone another Is at the end of the
encounter with Stribling. He was no;
even breathing hard, nor was he ever
in trouble.
1t looks like this fellow will hold the
title for a considerable time unless the
astute Joe Jacobs is foolish enough to
allow Make to be inveigled into a To-
round fight, in which q slow start might
beat him.
One of the yarns being told, now that
the fight is history, has to do with Matte
Brown, the sparring partner who gave
Schmeling so much trouble until he
mysteriously vanished to show up again
the day before the fight. The story is
that Schmeling made Brwon a stable
payment to meet him in private work.
out with small gloves in the Germans
cottage. with nobody present but the
fighters and the champions handlers
The idea was to find just how Make
would do when he took the laps of
According to the yarn Jacobs stopped
It in the second round with Brown in
bad shape, and that Matte then had to
lick his bruises and prevent any one
from learning what had taken place
1t is a good story, whether or not 1t
u true.
