struggle that it was knotted six times

BY WILBUR WOOD.

n IEW YORK, August 27.-Max
N Schmeling arrived on the

much more popular than
when he came over here last May
to prepare for his second bout
with Jack Sharkey. At that time
he was an unpopular champion;
today he Is a popular former
champion.
There never was any good reason
why the American fStic public should
have been antagoniStic toward Schmel-
ing, unless 1t was that this country was
at war with Germany IA years ago.
Nothing he ever had done in the ring
was TO his discredit, unless it was a sin
for him to be hit inches below the
belt by Sharkey in their first meeting
That seemed to be the attitude of the
New York Boxing Commission. which
was exceedingly considerate of the man
guilty Of the foul
Even so. Schmeling's knockout OF
Young Stribling should have convinced
the fans that Max was worthy of the
title. Personally, Schmeling always

Of any one with whom he came into
close contact. The pubncs attitude

ridiculous decision in Sharkey's favor
last June.
WHILE Schmeling probably is too In

public thinks of him, cheers are
always to be preferred to jeers From
monetary standpoint, that decision In
Sharkeys favor probably will mean
much when he faces Mickey Walker in

Thousands of fans will turn out
mainly in the hope of seeing Max bowl

'32 Games Best, Says Dutchman,
Who Directed Ninth Olympics

York, homeward bound with % mem
bers of the Dutch team on the s. g.
Rotterdam.
For three reasons" said the major,
Il believe that the Los Angeles games
reached the htghwater mark OF Olym-
pic competition. First, there was the
almost perfect housing in the village,
something that could be accomplished
only in Los Angeles. Second, there was
the perfect climate. In Amsterdam 1t
rained on the opening day and on sew
eral occasions after that. In Los An
eeleS we were never troubled by the
threat of rain. 1t was warm, yes, but
it was never uncomfortable.
.srT7HIRD, there was the marvellous
l. track, the fastest I have ever
seen. But this, too, may be &C
credited to the weather. The track
would have been almost impossible to
use If it had rained. The fact that 1t
rarely rained helped the Los Angeles
committee make their track the fastest
possible"
Mai. Van Rossem has been either a
spectator or an official at the last seven
Olympic games and declared that the
Los Angeles games were so much bigger
than all of the others that they belied
comparison.
And because of the track and the
perfect weather" he added, Il believe
than the records set at the games will
stand for 10 or II years"
He said that he had spoken with
Count Ballet Letour, president OF the
International Olympic Federation, who
had agreed that the games at Los An
r. Lna,
Maj. Van RoSSem said he was well
satisfied with the showing the Dutch
team made in the games. except that
he thought several members of the team
were victims of i'll luck He pointed
especially to the case of one of the
woman swimmers Mrs Marie Braun
Phillipsen, and the double SOULS rowing
team.
MRS. BRAUN-PHILIIPSEN Defend
~ ing champion in the 1O0-meter
back stroke, was bitten by an in
sect and was taken to the hospital to
prevent poisoning after she had quail
fled for the semi-finals of the back
stroke and the 400-meter free style.
The double SOULS pair drew the No. l
lane, the windiest of them ALL and fin
ished fourth in the final. Maj. Van
Rossem declared that he believed they
could have done better under more
favorable conditions.
Holland won two first places in the
games, Lieut.. de Montanges winning the
three-day equestrian event and ]. Van
Egmund capturing the l,000-meter

that his country had a potenl1Sl
