where Hauptmann is scheduled to
die in the electric chair during
the week of March 18.
After being registered and
stripped of his belongings, Haupt-
mann was taken to a room far
ther inside the prison to be
stripped and bathed and given
one of the grayish-black uni
forms worn by prisoners con-
demned to death. His head was
to be shaved of its thin, brown
hair he keeps SO carefully combed
Acting Warden George A. Selby
was considerably incensed at the
crowd which struggled for last
glimpse of Hauptmann. He or
dered cameramen off the steps
of the prison entrance and
angrily declared:
"The carnival is over when
he goes in there. He's just q
number from now on"
Undertaken Ready
In the crowd outside the jail
was an undertaken who looked at
Hauptmann with interest. He
said he had buried several victims
of the prison chair. While await
ing Hauptmann's arrival, the un-
dertaker had bought beers for
the house at a saloon a block
away.
There are six other men in the
death house scheduled to go to
the electric chair. At least four
of these probably will precede
Hauptmann. His cell is so located
that they must pass in front OF
it on the way to their doom.
Hauptmann will hear the foot
steps.
In front of his cell, day and
night, will be a guard. He will be
armed with a blackjack with a
tear gas bomb attached. The
bomb explodes when the weapon
Is welded.
Rifleman On Guard
On the parapet above Haupt-
mann's cell, a sentry is kept on
day and night patrol, rifle over
his shoulder.
A steel bed attached to the con-
crete floor, a mattress, a chair, and
a table comprise the furniture Of
the little cell. There is one high,
barred window in the cell.
Hauptmann will be permitted
only one visit per month from a
blood relative" He will not be
permitted to see his baby. Mann
fried, however, except once dur
ing the week before his execution,
Acting Warden Selby has decreed.
A dinner of vegetable soup. pork
and beans, bread and butter, cof-
fee, and cake or pie awaits the
condemned man tonight.
Prisoner Calm
Hauptmann was amazingly calm
as he went into the prison, to dis
appear from the eyes of the world
His face seemed gaunt and the
skin was drawn as tightly as the
skin of a drum over his skulish
head.
But he needed no support to
walk up the prison steps. There
was that strang, undecipherable
smile on his lips before and after
his outburSt.
His keen, darting eyes took in
the strange Egyptian figures
carved in the stone of the prison
entrance, above the gate.
Though his eyes were shaded by
q battered brown hat, he squinted
and blinked in the bright sunlight.
1t was the first time he had
been out in the sun for nearly
four months. 1t may be the last.

Hauptmann Heavily
Guarded on Ride

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Feb. 16
0.N.SD Bruno Richard Haupt,
mann was taken from his cell in
the county jail here today and
started under heavy guard for the
death house at Trenton.
Hauptmann was in excellent
humor when he left the Jail at
9:31 a. m. He posed obligingly
for photographers on the steps
OF the Jail before he was taken
to an automobile and started on
the 23-mile trip to Trenton.
Hauptmann wore g. grey suit,
blue shirt and blue tie and a
brown felt hat. A detail Of State
troopers in bright blue uniforms
preceded Hauptmann out o. the
front door of the Jail.
Then Hauptmann came out,
manacled to Sheriff John H. Cur,
tiss and Lieut.. Allen Smith. Pho.

The doomed man answered:
"All right"
LIKES PICTURES
The prisoner, smiling broadly,
stood there as photographers
banged away. The camera mems
bulbs flared time and again and
Hauptmann seemed to enjoy the
experience.
Reporters asked Hauptmann as
ne left the Jail in Pennington:
"Have you anything to Say?"
"Oh, nothing in particular"
One of the reporters in the
crowd called out:
"Are you afraid, Brunei"
"NOt at all"
Another reporter shouted:
"Say. Bruno, have you any
thing to cOnfesS?"

AMERICAN WITHDRAWAL FROM
OLYMPIC GAMES AGAIN URGED

NEW YORK, July &c. UP)-An-
other vote on whether America
should compete in the 1896 Olym-
pic games was seen as a possibility
today because of rising indignation
over alleged religious discrimina-
tion IN Germany.
The vote is expected when the A
A. U. holds its annual convention
in December.
The United States has accepted
Germanys invitation to participate
in the games but recent develop
ments in Germany have resulted in

annual convention of the A. A. U.
in December when the question Of

GETTING SCHMELING TO MAKE UP
HIS MIND IS DRAWN-OJT AFFAIR

NEW YORK, July 26. U.H - An
exchange Of cables and a trans
Atlantic telephone conversation to-
day failed to bring any nearer TO
settlement the weighty fistic prob
lem of whom Max Sehmeling will
fight here this fall.
Joe Jacobs. SchmeIing's manager
conferred with John Reed Kilpat-
rick. president Of Madison Square
Garden, and Jimmy Johnston, gar
den boxing boss. They want
Schmeling to fight Max Baer OF
California. They offered a guar
antee substantially below the $780,
900 Schmeling demands.
Joe then kept a luncheon engage
ment with Mike Jacobs. front man
for the Twentieth Century Sport
ing club. Mike wants Schmeling 10
fight Joe Louis, Detroit Negro.
Yesterday Mike refused to meet
Schmeling's demand for a guaran-
tee, deposited abroad He coun-
tered with a proposal to deposit
money abroad as q guarantee that
Schmeling would get his percen-
tage of the fight.
Schmeling today told Joe Jacobs
that he would insist on flat guar
antee, deposited abroad. Boxing
men believed that Mike would
change his mind and duplicate OF
eclipse the latest garden offer.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-07-26

a promise from Max that he would
condescend to consider American
offers, a very serious doubt as to
his willingness to desert Germany
set in.
Joe, of course, said Schmeling
was determined to cross the Allan
tic, but if he is, why didn't he tell
his manager yes" or mo" when
they talked it over in Berlin last
week? The offers which were
cabled to Schmeling last night were
not new ones; Jacobs had them
in his pocket when he was in Ber-
lin. In his cable last night ia
cobs told Schmeling that with Baer
he'd probably draw no better than
100000 against sure $500,000 and
possibly $750,000 with Louis. He
undoubtedly told him the same
thing, face to face, 10 days ago.
There would seem to be only one
sensible conclusion to draW-either
Schmeling doesn't want to risk d
tough fight in this country when
there are SO many soft touches for
him in Europe, or else he has q
mind which requires herculean ef-
forts to make up. No matter if
Schmeling's answering cable today
is yes this department won't be-
lieve he means it until he steps off
the beat on this side and begins
training
It is no secret that Mike Jacobs
(no relation to Joe), goth Century
promoter, is getting a bit weary of
the endless bargaining back and
forth with Schmeling.
We've made him our last offer,
Mike said, land he can take it or
leave it. If he's crazy enough to
kiss away $150,000 why then let
him do it. And get this straight
Schmeling or no Schmeling, Louis
fights for us on September the
eleventh. There are plenty of good
heavies around who'd love to get
crack at Louis and the sort of
money he'll draw at the box-office. II

CARDINALS IN
THIRD PLACE
As CUBS WIN
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 26. - After a
terrifying trip through the west,
during which they lost their Ma
tional league lead for two hours
and 19 minutes. the New York Gil
ants sped home today in complete
command Of first place and look
ing every inch potential pennant
winners.
The Giants parting shot at the
careening st. Louis Cardinals was
a double victory which blasted the
world champions all the way to
third place. 3i2 games from the top.
The Giants road trip which
came dangerously near disaster
during a six-game losing streak -
four to the Cubs and two to the
Cardinals-ended in one of the
greatest comebacks of the baseball
season. They scored four straight
victories over the Cardinals, who
previously had won 13 of 10 games,
beat both Dean boys and regained
the lead which they relinquished
briefly after losing the first game
of a doubleheader Tuesday.
The heroes of the Giants flam-
ing finish in the west we're:
Alfred Smith, southpaw pitcher
who came out of the shadow of the
bullpen to check the Giants dizzy
decline in the nick Of time.
Travis Jackson, team captain
and third baseman who played
through the last three games with
a heavy heart because his 2-year-
old son fell on needle which
pierced his eyeban.
Carl Hubbell. who outpitched
Dizzy Dean in probably the most
thrilling and most important game
of the National league season.
Hal Schumacher, Allyn Stout
and Roy Parmelee. who combined
to hold the hard-hitting Cardinals
to three runs as the Giants won
both games yesterday 81 and
1872
The Giants new menace is the
Chicago Cubs. who scored their
18th victory in the last 10 games
by defeating Brooklyn, 4-2, and
moved into second place three
games behind New York. Tex Carle-
ton pitched his ninth victory.
The Pittsburgh Pirates won their
eighth in a row by scoring three
runs in the ninth to defeat the
Philadelphia Phillies, 9-8 Pinch
hitter Red Lucas singled with the
bases loaded. driving in the tieing
and winning runs.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July &c. You
could get even money along the
Place de la Cauliflower today that
Max Schmeling, despite all his
dickering by cable, never will leave
Germany to make another fight in
the United States, and that neither
Madison Square Garden nor the
goth Century Sporting club would
have the eX-champion for Septem-
Der billing.
Until Joe Jacobs, his American
manager, returned from Berlin on
the Washington yesterday, the gen.
eral feeling was that Schmeling
would desert the beauteous Amy
Ondra and his Black Forest estate,
and come to this country to engage
either Max Baer for the garden or
Joe Louis for the goth Century. But
when Joe, bit low in spirits, re-
turned empty-handed, so to speak,
with nothing more substantial than
