EARTH FORWARDED DAILY
 BY 20,0OO,OOO METEORITES

WASHINGTON, D. C., July B. If there were no protective atmos- phere surrounding the earth, people would be kept busy lodging meteor ties.
 c. F. Talman of the United States Weather Bureau estimates that 20,000000 meteorites every 24 hours from outer space enter the earth's atmosphere.
 Many meteorites are no bigger than a grain of sand and few are much bigger than a boys marble but even a sand grain moving at the speed of meteorite would kill a human being if it hit a vital spot, Talman says.
 Most meteorites are heated to in- candescence by the friction of the air resulting from their tremendous speed, and melt away completely

 WEIGH IN FOR MATCH TONIGHT
Schmeling and Stribling Greet E ach Other
 from Microphone

CLEVELAND, Chio, July 3.-Witi a National Radio hookup broad. casting the proceedings, Champion Max Schmeling and challenger w L. Young Stribling weighed in last night for the title fight today.
 Schmeling tipped the scales al 189 pounds.
 Stribling weighed 186lk pounds.
 It was the first time fighters oi Worlds championship bouts ever met before the microphone.
 Each greeted the other with Hope you feel great and both ir turn admitted that was just how they felt.
 Stribling Is Favorite
 Schmellng defends his title to- night at 2 o'clock, Pacific Time with the prospects of an attend ance of from 10000 to 50,00O ana receipts between $3Oo.000 and $4OO,- 900.
 Stribling remains a to 9 and [ to favorite.
 There is little betting because there is very little Schmeling mon- ey in sight.
 Schmeling and Strlbling are as well matched physically as any two heavyweights who ever fought.
 Schmeling's Plans
 Schmeling is to depend on two things for victory, an aggressive attack and a jarring right hand punch that damages when it lands. He has trained himself to fight crowding in punch at close range, by charging in and forcing the issue. He hopes to keep Strib- ling so busy on the defensive that the Georgian will have little oppor- tunity to start an offensive of his own.
 Gene Tunney. Jim Jeffrl s James J. Corbett and other not ables of flstiana will be at the ringside.
