 FIRST ROUND
 Schmeling dashed into Sharkey, the challenger, who met him with a left to the jaw. Sharkey boxed cooly away and Max rushed in with a right to the body. Max was standing straight forsaking his former crouching style as he mat ched iabs with the American. How ever, he landed only one punch to the Americans head as Sharkey dotted his face with half a dozen lefts. Schmeling shot short right to the head and the crowd roared as Sharkey was forced to back away. Max is far different man from the man Sharkey overpowered two years ago. However, the Ameri- can retaliated, after retreating, and flung a hard right to Max's heart and penetrating Max's defense.
 SECOND ROUND
 Toying cautiously, Sharkey moved in on the German who flicked a hook to the head but missed right to the head. As they fell in close Schmeling stabbed Sharkey's head with a long left then popped over another but took left to the jaw as Jack crowded in on him. The Germans new left jab, new for him, bounced off twice more from Shar- keys face; Jack missed left hook. Sharkey was crowding Max when he had to duck as Max Whisk- ed a right past his head at the bell.
 THIRD ROUND
 Jack Sharkey opened up a trlfle in round three but missed with a long right as Max tried to cut loose with both hands, Sharkey moved under the punches. Both fighters are extremely cautious, Sharkey feeling his way with left jabs to the head and trying to get an op- ening for a left hook to the chin. AS they came together Schmeling drove hard right to the chin and as they clubbed at each others heads in a ring corner. But Shar- key came out and drove Max out with a left to the body. They were slugging when the bell rang for the end of the round
 
 Sharkey came out more cautious ly than before for this round proved fatal to him two years ago, then whistled a right high to the cham pion's temple but was caught short with a right to the chin. Jack con- stantly tried for the chin. Max tore in with both hands and shook Jacks head back with a left jab. Sharkey peddled back carefully. Max slipped one onto Sharkey's chin as the bell rang at the end of the fourth round.
 FIFTH ROUND
 Not a mark showed on either battler. Max flung a short right to Jacks head. Sharkey backed away twice while sending lefts into Max's midriff. Sharkey boxed beautiful ly hooking left to the body. Max tore back furiously and drove Shar- key to the ropes with the first sus- tained attack a volley of lefts and rights to the head Jack was forced to yield. Sharkey let fly a right uppercut which shook Schmeling h,1t bounced hack t0 ha rnnoor Char-
