Nine-year-old Shirley, the daugh-

an automobile when playing in

Fruitful Experiment
Her physician, DR.. Alfred j.

treatment for influenza meningi-

course of serum injections for the
disease, one used commonly in
cases of ordinary meningitis.
The child from the first showed
marked improvement and by the

FIGHT TONIGHT
Battle With SchmeIing Seen
As Financial Flop; German
0utweights Foe Slightly

CLEVELAND, July 3. UN.SO.
AS Max Schmeling and Bill Strib-
ling today awaited the gong that
will start them on Is rounds, or
less. of fighting for what's left
of the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship, it became apparent that
the battle tonight will be a finan-
cial flop.
No more than $4,000 persons,
who will pay something like
$3.50, 900, will find their way into
Cleveland's beautiful new mu-
nicipal stadium to see the boys
at it. A minimum Of 100000
is required for the fight to show
a profit. r
sA Things Go Wrong
The absence of Jack Sharkey,
who ithe fans insist on believing
is thu best fighter, a sitting heat
wave almost unparalleled in its
persistence, too many promoters,
and a widespread shortage OF
what it takes have conspired to
make the fight q financial failure.
The German champion and his
Georgia challenger weighed in
over the radio at the WTAM
studios last night. Schmeling, in
perfect fighting trim, weighed 189.

tipped the beam at 1861.
Betting Is Slow
Betting ON the bout has been
as Stagnant as the ticket sale.
A few small and scattered wagerS
at 7 to 5 and 6 to 5. with Strib-
ling favOrite, have been reported.
But the Germans obviously ex.
cellent condition has impressed
many observers these last two
days and he may be no worse
than even money at bell time.
If the net does not exceed
$3.50, OOO-and only an eleventh.
hour miracle will make it do
so-Stribling's bit at 12R per
cent will be only $4,000. Since
his contract provides that II ne
wins he must post $4,000 as
guarantee that he will meet
Primo Carnera in September, Will
liam doesn't figure to get much
out of victory except the title.
A cloudless sky ushered in
fight day." presaging a probable
starry night and cooling breezes
from the lake. PesSimistic pre-
dictions emanating from the
Weather Bureau here said thunder
storms were likely. but no 1ndlca-
tions of rain were in evidence.
Referee Arrives
George Blake, as honest as the
day is long, arrived here by
plane from Los Angeles to
referee the bout. There will be
two judges, to be named at the
ringside.
The low blow rule of the
Cleveland Boxing Commission was
changed at the last minute and
Blake will be the sole judge Of
what constitutes a foul. The
judges will have no vote in the
matter. This ruling has no bear
ing ON the other fouls, such as
butting, heeIing, etc, which stand
as they were originally.
The new ruling empowers Blake
either to disqualify the fighter
striking low, or count out the
one struck low, at his own dis
cretion. The original rule made
it impossible for the bout to be
won or lost on a foul.
