Knows No Retreat

Against the slow Pauline in
1929, opposed to Sharkey in
1880 and whiting down the
clutching Stribling in 1881,
Schmeling stuck to his knitting
(with the exception of the
Sharkey fouD, never taking a
backward step and always edg-
ing in, inch by inch, to carry
the fight.
Fearless to a fault, deter
mined, purpoSeful and getting
smarter in each succeeding
though too infrequent appear
ance in the ring, Schmeling at
q has more ring poise and is on
the upgrade whereas Sharkey at
80 is inconsistent, inclined to
be temperamental and certainly
not improving if his fight
against Walker can be taken as
q criterion.
From this point and at this
interim before the fight, articles
for which aren't even signed
yet, we like Schmeling's chances
q heap more than we like
Sharkey'S.
One can never tell just what
Sharkey will or will not do IN
the ring. One is pretty certain
Schmeling will give a rather
satisfactory account OF himself.
He always has.

Before a near capacity audience
at the Washington Auditorium
last night, Shikat, for the second
time within a month, defeated his
sturdy Hungarian rival after SO
minutes of stirring contest.
Both grapplers were rougher
than usual and each dealt the
other heavy punishment. In fact,
it was a blow to the jaw that
spelt disaster for the brave Hun
garian who, exhausted by his et'
forts. Szabo gave way to body
slams.
Throughout the match Shikat
was the target for paper balls
flung by fans who deplored every
unfair move of Shikat.
Use Flying Mares
The last five minutes Of the
battle produced the livest action
of any wrestling brawl in the
huge Auditorium. SZabo wheeled
Shikat around by virtue Of flying
mares.
He then hammered the Ger
man to the ropes by a flying
tackle. This took some OF the
wind from the German who saved
himself by running for cover.
Catching his breath again, Shl'
kat roared out to the center
baffed SZabo on the Jaw and ap-
piled headlockS and body slams.

How to Fight Max

We believe one Of Sharkey's
drawbacks against Schmeling
will be he won't know just how
to fight this oddly poised
Schmeling, who's main similarity
to Dempsey is his weaving.
That is to say that Schmellng
Is no easy target, in that his
crouch and his ability to block
Sharkey's annoying left jabs
stood him in good stead in
their previous meeting. Many
believe this aggravated SEarkey
no little and caused him to be-
come wild and hit low. We do
not agree it was low blow, but
It certainly was wild.
Sharkey is notorious as a
good fore-runner and no hind
runner, at all. He, too often,
blows up when his best punches
fail to fell an antagonist, and,
taking his work against three
fighterS-DempSey, who was, by
the fourth round, wabbling on
his pins; Stribling. whom he
either couldn't or wouldn't
finish in 10 rounds, and Scott,
who any good fighter should be
able to kill in half round-it
is difficult to generate conf
Gence in his behalf.
That is not taking into &C.
count, either. his less than four
rounds against Schmeling, all
of which we're impressive, nor
his Walker fight, which was
quite indifferent, indeed. The
main test of ones opinion of
a fighter is the question which
we might all ask ourselves: g:
Would we bet on him against
Schmeling?
Would you?

But that is all history. What
we wish to do now is look to
the future. In such a discus
sion it should be remembered
from the outset that Sharkey
proposes to fight one of the
most courageous men the ring
has ever known. Too few peo-
pie with whom we have talked,
realize how much intestines this
Schmeling possesses.
You've got to see his work,
his crowding-in, his slow starts
and his steady, studious round

you can realize what a menace
he is to an opponent.

asserts that tie Cinnaminson house was merely
a blind, maintained to evade Pennsylvania
taxes
Gray, incidentally, called DR.. Dorranee the
stingiest man he had ever known. To buttress
this assertion, he got testimony concerning
the soup kings living expenses over period
ofsyears
Prom 1920 to 1925 Dr. Dorrance's income
ranged from So. SOC, 900 to $4,000O0O a year.
During that period his living expenses at Gin
namfnson ran to not more than $4,000 an
nually. Add to that an additional $4,000
year which he spent on trips to Florida and
Europe, and it appears that he was saving all
but about $4,000 of each years income.
In 1925 came change In the Dorrance
household. E1nor, eldest Of the four daugh-
ters, was almost ready to make her debut.
Ethel Charlotte and Peggy were growing up.
Little Jack was almost old enough to go TO
school. And Cinnaminson, at $4,000 a year,
was hardly setting for social affairs.
THUS came DIR. Dorrance's and only ex-
! travagance. He bought q big home at
Radnor, Pa. for S350,000, added $50, 600 worth
Of land and spent $3.50 600 on the furnishings.
From 1925 to 1880 the annual expenses at
Radnor were $95. 900. Thus, including the
complete cost of the house, during those five
years he was able to save around $4,000 ,00e
out Of hts income
His widow testified that DR.. Dorrance often

light and gas bills at Radnor, telling her once
to take the bulbs out of the servants quarters
because the servants burned too much light.
She said that he argued with her about the
size of the food bills and was particularly en-
ragged with a butler who had bought the family
food az high priced store.

ton that it be kept intact until the boy reaches
the age of so.
Rosenwald in his will, simply directed the
payment of his debts, bequeathed $11 600 900
to the Rosenwald Family Association a char
liable organization he had set up, and ordered
that the remainder of his fortune be equally
divided among his five children
His willingness to be open-handed with his
money exemplif1ed many times in his gifts
to charity, was also shown IN his conduct Of
business affairs during the postwar depression
Of 1921. Incidentally, that very Hberality was
ultimately to enrich him very greatly.
During that depression sales of his company
fell off by S75, ,e00,00o year. Rosenwald came
to the rescue by buying $4,000, eeo worth Of
the company's real estate and giving $4,000
shares of stock to the company's treasury. The
stock was valued at $50 share.
| ATER he bought this stcck back at 500 a
= share. In 1928, the company issued four
new shares of stock for each one of the old,
and thus the temporary loss that he took in
1921 turned into personal profit Of $25 ,0o0 900.
In striking contrast, too with DR.. Dorrance's
assertion that he had made his money by the
sweat Of his brow Rosenwalds famous
declaration that the ingredients which went
to the making up Of his own fortune were 10
per cent hard work and 90 per cent luck
and he said, with smile, Immediately after
ward, that the amount Of luck really ought to
be figured ut 95 per cent instead of 80.
He added
Il never could understand the popular belief
that because q man makes a lot Of money he
has lot Of brains. Some of the richest men
have met in my life have been the most
stupid. There are men IN America today,
financial failures, who have more real brains
than I ever will have. had the buck to get
my opportunity; their opportunity never came"
One thing he would never discuss very freely
was his own philanthropy. Aside from saying
that like Topsy it just growed,'" he would
not talk about it. Associates said that for
some time his benefactions amounted to around
So. 900 600 year-not counting the gift in

give away their money and some do
not-most emphatically, do not.
When two such men are put side by
side in the spotlight by the accident
of current events the result is a striking
contrast.
At about the time that the will of the late
Julius Rosenwald was being probated in Chi
cago recently-a will which left $l1 1,OO0,OO0 TO
charity and brought the total charitable gifts
of the mail order genius to the neighborhood
of $4,000 0O0-tlle State of Pennsylvania was
fighting to collect inheritance taxes OF the
estate Of the late DR. John T. Dorxance.
Dr. Dorrance who had been sole owner
and president of one of Americas bigger soup
companies left an estate estimated at $1l4,-
600 600 in New Jersey and at 5000, 900 In
Pennsyivania. In his life he had given nothing
publicly to charity: in his will he left nothing TO
charity-ncthing, even, to any faithful servants.
Rosenwald was famous for years as one OF
Americas greatest phiar1thropists. He Is said
to have given away four times as much money
as he finally left to his heirs.
He gave for instance, $20,00o,0O0 to the
julius Rosenwald Fund, and stipulated that
interest as well principal must be spent
within 25 years of the date Of his death. He
gave IS 900 900 to found an industrial museum
in Chicago. $4,000 900 for Jewish colonization
work in Russia. $4,000, 900 to the University
of Chicago $250o000 to build model tene-
ments for Negroes in Chicago, $5,000,000 to
poration, IS 100000 to the Jewish Theological
Seminary $500 coo to aid German war orphans
and widows-snd SO on, through long list
that contains almost fnnumerabe items.
OR. DoRRANcE-at the time of his death,
- in the Farl of 1930-was rated one of the
Nations richest men. Only two American fami-
lies, the Fords and the Rockefellers, had more
money than his family only two individuals
outside of those familes-Andrew Mellon and
Anna r. Harkness-had much private capi-
tai as he.
Yet DR.. Dorrance remained a saver of dollars
10 the last. In his 35-page Will he gave his
entire fortune to his immediate family, and
stipulated that his estate be kept intact for
10 years that State and Federal inheritance
taxes might out of the interest on the
principal and leave the body Of the fortune
untouched for future distribution.
BY comparison with that 35-page will there
is Rosenwalds will of slightly over a page
With its final $11 900 900 bequest to charity.
