Green Kill Lodge, N. r., May i2 --UP) Folks. this dispatch would have been earlier had l not felt it .my bounden duty to go out before daybreak and claim this tract of concentrated wilderness in tho name of Herbert Hoover and the United States.
 It is n good thing did, too, for less than an hour after my return Max SchmeliiS strode out into 0 clearing and claimed 1t in the namo of Paul von 1Iindenburg and the vaterland. And at about the samo time, Joe Jacobs was busy claiming it in the name of Joe Jacobs for Joe Jacobs,
 Jacobs, I suppose will finally get lt. For it was he, who while looking for a spot for Schmeling to train, plunged off the beaten path and discovered 1t. He immediately took up squatter riparian or somo other kind of rights.
 Personally, he's welcome to it, for of all tho stomped down un- civilized places, thls is it. It's m even money bet that if you shake n bush, Daniel Boone and leather. stockings will jump out. It was only after ono of the most gallant expe. ditions in history that Jacobs, Schmellng, Jimmy Johnston and h small group of neWspapormen reached thls place from New York.
 Six hours later leaving Now York the expedition reached Rhlne- cliff, a small trading post on the cnst bank of the turbulent Hud- son, from Rhinecllff tho party beat It's way to Kingston, often referred to as tho jumping off place. At Kingston the expedition was greeted by every native within q radius Of 25 miles. Thousands of them lined tho streets, drawn there partly by the desiro to sec the heavyweight cham plon of tho world and partly by tho desire to pay trib- uto 10 q gallant iittlo band of men about to plunge Into the unknown.
 With tho cheers of tho multi. tude ringing in our enrB we headed straight into n virgin forest. For hours we plunged on. up hill and down, across roaring streams ana across lofty mountains. Just when lt seemed we must turn back Ja. cobs, who had been out front scout Ing, returned with the news that the lodge waB but n mile ahead. Two more hours of steady march, ing revealed nothing but large, rugged trees.
 Say Jacobs," said reporter who up until this time had not spoke about must bo tho ono they run the marathon on"
 Eight hours later, just nt mid night. Jacobs halted the procession and called out:
 "Wo arc hore. This is where Schmcling will train for Sharkoy. isn't 1t lovely spot"
 Yes, lt was lovely spot--for mother bear to raise her cubs. When the halt wns called this corr respondent was standing In the d. rect center of n waterfall. The chap on his right was neck deep in n brambIe bush. Jimmy John- ston was behind giant oak, sign ing up an InrIan heavyweight. It was hard to imagine n heavyweight champion training here for any thing but q leading role in q wild west show.
 Of course it was dark and Jacobs may be right about the great lodge, tho indoor and outdoor ring, the swimming pool, and the golf course that lies Just over the hill. But just to be sure. l claimed it for the good old United States. It loked pow erful like new country to me.
