STE|NKE FACES
MAT TEST

Featuring Hans Steinke and
George Zaharias in a wrestling
match calculated to produce an
opponent for champion Jim Lon.
dos the following week, Joe
Turner stages his second outdoor
show of the season at Griffith
Stadium tonight.
The Steinke-ZahariaS match
stacks the German against by far
the most formidable opposition
yet offered him locally, and
should definitely determine
whether Steinke is deserving of
that 'uncrowned championship

Baer was brimming with con-

Staging Fights
Hard Work
Says Jack

NEW YORK, June st h e
eleventh-hour stampede for tickets
for the Baer-Schmeling fight to-
night almost had Promoter Demp-
sey on the ropes. The old Ma
nassa Mauler had his coat off
over at the offices of the Jack
Dempsey Sporting Club, Inc, on
Broadway, supervising this, that
and the other thing about the
ducats. He admitted he was
wrong when he used to kid Rick
ard about what a soft racket it
was promoting a prize fight.
One of Dempsey's troubles was
the activities of the spectators.
The best tickets, ringside loca-
tions, were priced at $11.50 but
the spectators, who got hold of
blocks of them, were peddling
them at Broadway sporting cir
cles at $25, and even higher, in
view of the last-minute demand.

ODDS ON KAYO
BY BAER TAKE
HEAVY DROP
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, June 8.-The
odds against Max Baer scoring q
kayo over Max Schmeling to-
night have dropped from 6 to l
to 3 to with most of the wager
ing being done on this basis.
Both are physically perfect; each
is serenely confident and each
promises to carry the fight ia
the other fellow, promises which.
if fulfilled, as SENS likely, should
result in great fight.
Baer carries every physical ads
vantage-height, weight, reachs
speed, strength. Schmeling has
the better mental capacity. He's
more seasoned in important en-
gagements and, if it narrowS
down to a question of ring gen.
eralship, figures to outsmar6
Baer.
They Aren't Sure
Schmeling has shown a faiH
capacity to absorb punishment,
but the boys in the fight racket
are not sure he will get up off the
floor if really hurt.
Baer has proved he can take
more than a shock absorber, but
he is just smart enough not to
stick out an inviting chin for
Schmeling to wallop.
Both are Furnishing hitters, bus
not devastating one-punch hitterS
like Sam Langford or Bob Fitz-
simmons. Baer will bank on q
left hook to the body and right
under the heart. Schmeling's left
isn't much. but he packs plenty
in a right to the jaw or heart.
Jump on Punches
Schmeling, throwing shorter
punches, should beat Baer to the
punch and he's harder to tag with
a right hand.
Had they fought a year ago no
one would have hesitated to pick
him. But Baer has come along
in the last year.

q OLD LINERS
LEAVE HOLES
IN VARSITY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Twenty-one athletes, who held
| q memberships on seven varsity
| teams, are lost to University of
Maryland through graduation this
week.
One of the 81 was a three-sport
man, while five others were two.
sport men.
Football and lacrosse, the two
outstanding sports at College
Park, suffer the greatest number
of losses, the former eight and
the latter seven.
Baseball loses four, boxing
three, track three and basketball
and tennis one each.
PoppeIman Graduates
Fred Nordenholz is the three
letter man who graduates, He
was a member of lacross, boxing
and track teams.
Ray Poppelman, Bill Wood,
John Mitchell and George Cole
are four of the two-letter men
who leave. All were members of
football and lacrosse teams.
The fifth two-letter man is
Frank Hines, who played football
and was a member of the track
team.
Others lost to the various var
sity teams are: John Mitchell,
Ted keenan,, AL Woods, Paul
Herman, football; Gordon Pugh,
George Hockensmith, lacrosse;
George Weber, basketball; Ber-
nard Keener, Victor Wingate,
boxing; Bob Maxwell, Lloyd
Jones, Bill McIlwee, Herman Cor
man, baseball; Jim Busick, Sam
McGlathery, track, and Maurice
Goubeau, tennis.
Football Hard Hit
The passing of so many football
men leaves Coach H. c. Curly
Byrd with a job on his hands for
1888. The Old Liners, faced with
a severe schedule, several of the
games away from home on sue
ceSSive Saturdays, will be forced
to put a green team in the field.
Particularly will the Old Line
gridders miss Poppelman and
Woods, stellar backfield aces;
Hines and Bill Wood, ends; Cole
and keenan,, tackles, and Kier-
nan, halfback. Mitchell per-
formed creditably, too, and will be
missed.
The graduation of Pugh takes
away from Maryland her greatest
lacrosse man. Pugh, All-America
center in lacrosse, is one of the
greatest ever to attend a Mary
land college.
The loss of 81 athletes is a
blow to Maryland 1933-34 varsity
teams, although the Old Line
school regularly loses very nearly
this number of athletes with each
graduation.

Starts Slow, Finish Strong

Schmeling is a slow starter,
almost a plodder, who grad
ually whittles his victims down
4c a point where one lethal wal
1op, if he can land it, will
finish them. He always finishes
strong and fresh. A more pur-
poseful fighter you never saw.
You can almost visualize his
plan as he dogs the tracks Of
those whom he fights, inflicting
his poisonous and annoying
left hook the while he waits for
an opportunity to plant those
hard rights.
Schmeling's right is his fin
fishing weapon. He leads with
it throughout his conflicts but
often as a feint to get in that
nasty left hook. But that sharp,
Sneaky right carries the dyna-
mite. It only travels six or ten
inches and comes from no
where. But boy, when it lands,
you can hear the timbers
shake.
The two fighters Of the even
ing offer strange contrasts,
Schmeling being a cautious
mathematical fighter who takes
practically no chances. He seems
to fight as if by rote, weaving
in inch by inch, ever forward,
never backward. Fighting to
him is just a business, and he
goes about it with little imagi-
nation.
The Washington times., 1933-06-08
A Perfect Balance

On the other hand, Baer Is all
that Schmeling isn't. You might
call him a perfect balance for
Schmeling. Unorthodox, clown
1sh, snorting and rarin' and
putting and blowing, he rushes
helter-skelter over the canvas
hitting from every angle and
often getting hit from as many.
But that's what Baer likes-a
fight, a real fight, with lots Of
fists flying and heavy bodies hit
ting the floor.
Therefore, if he wins tonight
1t will not be by method, but
rather by accident.
The story of this brawl at
Yankee Stadium along about
9 O'CLOCK Washington time
would MT be complete with
out mentioning the promoter,
Jack I mpsey. Jack has put
his color and animation into
the build-up. He has ap-
peared in both training camps
and spared in public with
each.
He has scaled his house for
tonight from $40 ($11.00 to
you on the line, including the
Federal taxi downward and as
q result of this new deal, the
public is clamoring for the
good seats of which there were
none left this morning.
! But there are plenty OF
cheaper seats and as likely as
not 10000 will sit in on the
proceedings, and 10000 isn't a
crossroads any more.

BAER ESCAPES
AUTO ACCIDENT

NEW YORK, June 8.-Before
being weighed in this afternoon
for his fight with Max Schmeling
tonight, the usually carefree Max
Baer was taking a rest that he
really needed.
The California heavyweight had
a close call from serious injury
yesterday while speeding to New
York in an automobile driven by
Jerry Luvadis, Jack Dempsey's
ex-trainer. A tire blew out and
the car, going about SO miles an
hour, slewed completely around,
but miraculously did not overturn.

appeals so strongly to the fans
that there was talk this morn
ing that the stadium may be a

ance of $4,000 to 10000 for a

Second Tex Rickard?
Promoter Jack Dempsey, once
glamorous ring figure himself,
is staging the show and has done
such good job they were talking
him up along Broadway today as
"a second Tex Rickard." Dempsey
is elated at the way things are
turning out and says all he needs
is a little "Rickard luck" on the
weather. The rest has gone over
with a bang.
Fair weather is promised for
the fight but Jack is keeping his
fingers crossed. New York has
had an unusual amount of rain
in the past fortnight. In the
event of rain the bout will be
postponed until tomorrow night.
Due largely to Dempsey, the
brawl has been one of the best
bally-hooed events since the good
old days of the million-dollar
"gates." Dempsey has been
stimulating interest in the fight
for weeks. He has kicked up
rows between the Schmeling and
Baer forces; he has back slapped
and made friends and doomed
the fight all over the East; he
even offered his own chin by
boxing a round each with Schme-
ling and Baer in their respective
camps.
Fighters in SecIuSiOn
Schmeling and Baer, both now
on the scene, were in semiseclusion
today. The German came in from
his camp at Lake Swannanoa,
near Oak Ridge, N. j., and
checked in at a local hotel, the
name Of which was not disclosed.
Baer, who motored in from his
quarters at Atlantic City, is at a
private home and closely guarded
from the public.
They will make a brief appear
ance this afternoon at 3 o'clock,
when they will officially weigh in.
Baer probably will show a weight

Black Uhlan. He will tip the beam
