Max Confident He'll Regain Title

which always trickles into the
winners dressing room, Schmeling
stood it all good-naturedly, but
made no secret of his irritation
over his tightly closed, knotted
and diScolored left eye.
Louis is a pretty smart fel-
low" he said, "and he is very
game and a very good puncher,
but he had me at a diSadvan-
tage after he had stuck his
thumb in my eye several times
in the early rounds.
whenever he moved to my
left he would get out of my
vision because / could see only
with my right eye and some
times 1 had trouble getting
away from his jabs."
AS for those low punches which
Louis laid in there several times,
causing Max to step back with a
painful and pleading grimace,
they hurt, he said. But, he added,
he recovered quickly and no
great damage was done.
"AnyhOw, I didn't want to
win another fight on the floor"
he laughed, and as hastily as
possible, which was after a
couple of hours of rehaShing
the battle, ne dashed off to
talk to his wife, Amy Ondra,
che German movie star, by
Transatlantic phone.

Braddock paid tribute to the
