n YEW YORK, June 20.-Leaving
unsettled for the time being
" the question as to whether Joe
q Louis, the bombed bomber, was
more shell-Shocked today than the
survivors of the 999 Per Cent Wrong
Club, the fistic world surveyed the
results of the upheaval created BY
Max Schmeling's smashing 12-round
knockout victory.
Between alibis and headaches it
was determined:
% That Schmeling will fight
Champion James J. Braddock for the
worlds heavyweight title, probably the
last week in September at the Yankee
Stadium.
20 That it's still uncertain whether
Madison Square Garden, with Brad
dock under contract. will wage a pro-
motion battle with Mike Jacobs, who
has signed Schmeling, or whether the
rivals will patch up their differences
and jointly conduct the match.
80 That Schmeling will return to
Germany via the Zeppelin airliner,
Hindenburg, leaving here next Tues
day night, to receive the plaudits of
his countrymen and see the Olympic
games in early August before returning
to the United States.
"a That Braddock. with his judg-
nent of Louis and the Negro's vul-
nerability sustained, stood at the head
of the heavyweight class, without any
apologies being offered for him for the
first time since he knocked the crown
of the curly head of Max Baer q
year ago.
(5) That Louis despite the shocking
unexpectedness of his downfall, is by
no means through" and will start a
back campaign, possibly by
August, with a view to fighting his
way back into the championship pic
ture by 1887.
60 That the sports-writing fra
ternity, while ungrudging in its tribute
to Schmeling for his great fight and
freely admitting the error of under
estimating the Germans ome-back
proweSs, stuck by its guns with a
chorus of IF We had to do it all over
again, we would still pick Louis
Conferences UnprOductive.
A SOMEWHAT foggy round robin
of conferences between rival
managers and promoters during the
day failed to develop any definite line
f1a GPhYonliFO O.
Braddock battle that the fight world
assumes will take place early this Fail
as the climax to the most startling
pair of form reversals in heavyweight
history.
The Garden has until July 20 to
make good on its contract obliga-
tions with Braddock and produce the
signature of the No. l challenger,
Schmeling. Meanwhile the German
has signed with Jacobs and the
Twentieth Century Club on similarly
conditional basis, namely. that Brad
dock will be produced. This obvious
deadlock leads to only one logical
conclusion: That the boys on opposite
sides of Eighth avenue, along Forty
ninth street. will bury the hatchet and
get together.
Mike Jacobs talked this afternoon
with Joe Gould, Braddock's manager,
as well as Joe Jaobs, the Germans S
f1stic pilot. They all agreed the match
must be made" but came to no
conclusions otherwise. All concerned,
except Schmeling and Joe Jacobs, had
been so convinced that Louis would
emerge as the title challenger that it
was necessary to 60 back and start
negotiations all over again.

Budge and Mako Ahead.

RUDGE teamed with Gene Mako Of
Los Angeles in administering a
straight set, 6-3, 6-3, shellacking to
the top-ranked American doubles pair
of Wilmer Allison and John Van
Ryn. The veteran Allison was badly
of form and the youngsters con-
centrated their attack on the Texan.
Bulge made it three straight in the
mixed doubles finals. He and Mrs.
Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline,
Mass, defeated Jadwiga Jedrzejowska
of Poland and Charles E. Hare of
England. After getting of to a shaky
start and dropping the first set, the
Americans co-ordinated beautifully
and won out, 3-6, 60, 60.
Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of New York
and Nine. Sylvia Henrotin of France
outstayed the Belgian combination
Nelly Adamson and Jeanne de
Meulemeester to win the women's
doubles final, Ga, ST, 60.

Broadcast of Great Ring
Upset Repeated-Nation
Thrilled by Win.

~ ERLIN, June 20.-Max Schmel-
K ing's place among Germany's
sport inmortals was secure
tonight as result Of his
amazing knockout victory over Joe
Louis.
Throughout the Reich the Black
Uhlan's comeback formed the sole
topic Of conversation. So keen was
the demand for an eyewitness report
of the fight that the nationwide
broadcast Of the early morning hours
was repeated, from wax impressions,
at the more convenient hour Of 7
o'clock tonight.
The relatively few who stayed up
for the original broadcast were well
rewarded The German announcer
sometimes almost forgot to continue
the round-by-ro description in his
excitement. At other times his voice
was drowned out by the bedlam at
the ringside, but in the main German
listeners were given an excellent
picture Of Schmeling's sensational
triumph
Congratulated by Hitler.
CHANCELOR HITLER himself
headed long list Of persons high
in German political life who sent con-
gratulatory messages to the boxer.
Among these we're the crown prince,
Frederick Wilhelm; DR. Paul Joseph
Goebels. minister of propaganda. and
Hans Won TschammeroSten, Reich
sports commissioner.
The telephone in the home of Amy
Ondra, Schmeling's actress wife, rang
SO continuously that Amy, and later
her maid, went into hiding.
There was very little betting On the
fight in Germany. Germans generally
considered it unpatriotic to bet
against Max and his chances we're
rated so low that it was thought un-
wise to place so much money on him.
Boxing promoters put out initial
feelers to learn whether Schmeling's
proposed title match with Jimmy
Braddock could be held in Germany.

 Resumed College Studies
 The war over, Prince Albert, like many another young man of the various belligerent nations, sought to take up again the higher educa- ton which had been interrupted. Accordingly, in 1919 and 1920, he went to Trinity College, Cambridge University. where he specialized in history, civics and economies. A big event in his life occurred on June 3. 1920, when his father created him royal Duke, the Duke of York.
 He now began to assume some of the social and civic responsibilities of Kings son. The bent of bis mind was shown in his accepting the presidency of the society for Iil- dustrial Welfare. He apparently made up his mind that this should not be a mere empty gesture, cost ing him nothing. He paid private unofficial visist to the Teeside and Clydeside industrial districts which had been hardest hit by the depres- sion and studied at first hand the problems involved. Later on, he was to start, patronize and partly financially support his own summer

Accordingly, pro- noted to suD-lieutenant, he was as- signed to the battleship Malaya. AS he had had actual experience as 8 gunnery off1cer during the Battle of Jutland, he was now made a turrct officer.
 But soon, to his own intense dis gust, he became i'll again. He had hoped that all the mysterious inter- nal pains he had suffered would vanish after his operation for ap- pendicitis, but they returned, more severe than ever. In his own mind there was the torturing thought that, perhaps, he had some incur able internal complaint.
 At last, in 1917, the sufferer could hold out no longer. He left the fleet at Rosyth and went into the hos pital there. Sir Arbuthnot Lane, one of Britain's most famous doc tors, happened to be there. He ex-

The anxious King asked his own surgeon, who did not agree that an immediate operation should be un- dertaken. He feared 1t might kill the Prince, as the ailment had run on for so long. However, 9 few weeks later the pain became 50 ag- onizing that the Prince was oper- ated on. The royal patient made a quick recovery and has been in com paratively fine health ever since.

 As 1t was thought best not to send him back to the sea, Prince Albert now determined to identify himself with the air forces. Late tri 1917 he went to Cranwell for train ing and duly qualified as a pilot. Later in tic war he was on Tranch- ards staff with the air force in France and stayed there until the arrnisticc.

 So widely do proposals for an amendment or other measure vary that those actively promoting the onference-which is likely to be held in January or February-pri- vately expressed belief that Roose- welt himself must come to the port of any formula which is to receive relatively united backing and have a good chance of pass ing Congress.
 It is generally agreed that Roose- welt has worked out no formula and that he may be guided by the de- Alterations of this conference.

UNITED PRESS BREAKS RECORD
Two Transatlantic Tele. phones Held Open to
 Transmit Story

New York, Dec. ll.--(UP)--AE records for speedy transmission ot news across the Atlantic ocean were smashed yesterday when the United Press held two transatlantic tele- phone lines open between it's Lon. don and New York offices through, out the historic session of the Houst of Commons which heard King Ed. wards message of abdicatlon.
 Over those lines, supplemented bI the regular cable facilities, camt the full story of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's presentation ot the kings message to commons, the text of the message, Baldwin's amazing story of his month-lone negotiations with his majesty, anc a running account of every pertin- ent development in the house.
 Stories dictated by members oj the London staff were copied on typewriters in the New York office from where they were relayed in- stantly over the vast system Of leased wires which connect United Press newspapers throughout the North American continent.
 Far Ahead of Others
 As a result of yesterdays unpre- cedented telephone hookup the United Press was able to deliver to it's client papers the full story Of the abdication proceedings far ahead of all competitors.
 Webb Miller, European news manager, was in charge of the United Press staff in the house of commons. From the parliament building Miller dictated over an open telephone to his London office the main leads of the day. From there they were relayed in two-line takes" to staff men manning the Atlantic telephone circuits. Thus, newspapers served by the double trunk wire system of the United Press in this country were rcceiv- ing their running account of the commons sessions as 1t was being relayed two lines at time from double trunk telephone circuits across the Atlantic.
 Assisting Miller
 Assisting Miller at the house were Henry Tosti Russell, the United Press staff correspondent who scooped the world two days ago with the information that the king had made an irrevocable de- cision to abdicatc; and Harry Percy, whose stories from Fort Belvedere kept United Press papers around the globe informed of happenings at King Edwards retreat during his majesty's numerous discussions of the crisis with Prime Minister Bald- win.
 Other staff men at commons and covering the crowd outside included Joseph Grigg, Jr., Henry T. Cor rell and Dan Rodgers.
 Tn charge at the London bureau were Harry Flory. assistant Eu- ropean news manager, and Clifford l.. Day, London bureau manager. They were assisted in the task of keeping the story flowing across the Atlantic and to other parts Of the world by Frederick Kuh, chief United Press diplomatic corres- pondent; Frederick c. Oechsner, Berlin manager;
 Yesterdays series of beats on the abdication came approximately siy weeks after the United Press beat on the divorce of Mrs. Wallis War; field Simpson at Ipswich, the first break in the biggest news story of the year. The flash the divorce, as well as the complese transcript of the hearing which preceded 1t, were telephoned to the United Press in New York direct from Ipswich.

 Here every year in the summer time lads from the factories and boys from the great public" schools, which cater to the rich and the ar istocratic, meet on equal terms. They dress in khaki shorts. They take care of their own camp, fetch their own water and fuel. do large part of their own cooking and washing up and play all sorts of outdoor games. The Duke of York himself lives there a part of the time, dressed just as the boys are, eating the same food and playing the same games. His big idea is to break down class distinctions and class feeling.
