PROMOTERS OF the Schmeling-
Stribling championship blowdeo were
fortunate II they got out OF Cleve-
land with their spats and sox sup
porters. Financially, the fight was
a dud: ~fistically, II was fine en-
tertainment. The biggest double -dud
OF recent fight history was the
Tunney-Heeney affair in N'yowk
back in 20. The MadsqueGee crowd
admitted a loss OF about $500, 900"
Not only was 10 a financial flop but
the fight vas putrid. Even Aunt
Emma. admiral OF the rocking chair
fleet. could have seen II was no
contest. Tunney. who missed mis-
calling by not going In for six-day
cycling. drew SIS. 1000 PUNK for this
exhibition. Heeney. billed as 'the
Hard Rock from Down Under" drew
an even hundred grand. and he was
nothing more than international"
atmosphere for the scrap. After
cleaning the Madison Square al
lance OF this half million, Tunney
hung up his gloves In favor OF a
rack Of books and a millionaire bride.
The books, We understand, were
more than Gene could resist.
HERR Max Linderkranz Scheml-
ing Is cheduled to do the Ameri-
ri fight public a big favor. All
past grievances will be forgotten IL
he'll Just konk Primo Camera when
kthey meet this fall. BY clever hand
y ling. the Venician Leviathan has
been jockeyed into a "~contender's"
position without having met a single
top-notch scrapper. George Godfrey
and Striblin are the only good men
who have met the Ponderous Pa
luka. The Strib-P Primo fights In Paris
were no test. The Italian fouled the
American and in their encounter
the American fouled the italian.
Geo. Godfrey, who knew his best
fighting days many a moon ago.
was a mile ahead OF Camera on
points when for some unknown rea-
son he stopped low and hit the Ital-
ian IN the groin. Jimmy Maloney,
who was a good man in his day put
now no better than a third rater.
decisioned Carenra in Boston. In
their return match at Miami, NAL
oney again beat the side-show freak
but the decision went to Camera.
Well. Schmeling win be a real test.
