 New York, Sept 27-(UP) Jack Sharkey's next heavy- weight championship bout op- ponent has been determined by one.of the bloodiest, most sensational ring battles since Luis Firpo battered Jack Dempsey through the ropes by Max Schmeling's technical knockout of Mickey Walker after he >foored the toy bull- dog twice.
 The twice. postponed schmeling- Walker contest came to a close af- ter eight rounds of siugging and clinching. Walker, after holding his own in the early rounds, wilted definitely under a two-fisted attack by the Germ..n n in the final round.
 Never Stopped Trying
 Mickey long before he was beat- en. flashed over staggering rights and lefts to Maxie's head, especial ly in the fourth and fifth rounds. Schmeling was in such danger then that his supporters implored him to go in and score the blow they believed would end the fight.
 But Der Mex weathered these storms. and. in the seventh round took the lead and held 1t until the show was over.
 The end came with dramatic suddenness seldom equalled in heavyweight mpionship fights, and almost never shown in non- title affair.
 Walker no sooner sat down in his corner at the end of the eighth than Jack Kearns, his manager, be- gan a one-sided argument. Their conversation ended when Kcarns strode away and beckoncd to Referee Jack Denning. The ref cree noddd to Announcer Joe Hum- phries. Schmeling was termed the winner by techincal knock out.
 Saw Something
 One spectator was Jack Sharkey. He was faced to-day with certain demand for a return bout with the German who succeeded to the title vacated by Gene Tunney. Schmeling won the title on q foul in bout with Sharkey recognized as fight to decide the championship.
 Schmeling's first title defense came in a bout with Willie Strib- ling of Georgia. Max won this fight by a technical knockout in the final round. His next defense came in the bout last June with Sharkey.
 Schmel.ng. always a slow starter, hit his stride last night at the start of the eighth round. The round was less than minute underway when he shot a crushing right jolt to- Mickey's left temple. Mickey's knees buckled. He fell to the canvas. Gamely Walker rose at the count of six. Blood stream ing from his mouth.
 But Schmeling floored him again with a hard right to the jaw, Mickey took the count of nine and staggered to his feet. Schmeling. eager for knockout, swarmed over him pounding lefts and rights to the face. Then the bell changed.
 When the gong sounded again Tor the ninth, Walker tried to rise from his stool. but Jack Kearns placed an arm around his shoul- der and insisted "1t's all over Mickey"
 Kearns realized that Walker was a beaten man. He could hardly see from either eye. and blood streamed from his mouth and a cut on the bridge of his nose.
 The boxing commission an- nounced the result as technical knockout in eight rounds.
 The battle was a benefit for the Free Milk Fund for Babies, Inc. of which Mrs William Randolph Hearst is chairman. It was wit messed by about 45.000 fans who paid $156,0OO in estimated receipts.
