Hughes Sees Max
OutpointingLouis

DENNY HUGHES, local boxing
referee, is one of those rare
individuals who believe that Max
Schmeling not only viii stay IS
rounds with Joe Louis when they
clash Thursday at Yankee Sta
dunn, but predicts the German will
grab the decision.
Expressing his viewpoint, Denny
said: Louis has only a good left
hand. His wins over Max Baer,
Primo Camera, Paolino Uzcudun,
King Levinsky and Charley Retz-
laf all have been greatly overrated.
Schmeling is game and o better
boxer. He should win"
Hughes, who will be q ringside
spectator at the battle, predicted
Jimmy Braddock's triumph over
Max Baer.

Of training for Thursdays battle with
Joe Louis today. The program, end
ing grind Of nearly six weeks
called for two rounds OF sparring
against Mickey McAvoy, who bumped
into him Sunday and raised q bump
over Max's right eye; two with Heinz
Kohlhaas and one with Jerry johnson
The signs of Sundays collision had
faded out today and nobody seemed
at all worried about 1t.
Doc Casey, one of the German
schlager's seconds, vouched for Max's
confidence after a long chat yesterday
We discussed the fight from every
angle. but during the whole converse
tion Max didn't mention Louis name
at all. Scared? Why, that's a lot
of hooey. He's too seasoned a cam
paigner for that" Casey said.
Schmeling will remain in camp to-
morrow. but will do no boxing. He
will leave for New York early Thurs

minimized by the Germans handlers
and himself, nevertheless has not
created any extra enthusiasm for
Max's chances. Schmeling already is
handicapped enough, in age, speed
and punching power, without any
thing additional to worry about.
The one hope for a surprise, so far
as Schmeling is concerned, is that he
will connect with his strong right
hand early enough to upset the Brown
Bomber's methodical program: Max
thinks he can tag Louis and find out,
at least, whether the Negro can take
it." The probable answer is that Joe
can take" anything the German has
to offer, including his Sunday punch,
and still arrange the outcome to suit
himself.

PRIMARILY the apathy of the cash
customers Is traced to the belief
Schmeling has no more than China
mans chance to halt the sensational
winning streak of the Brown Bomber.
Not even the most strenuous publicity
efforts to build up the German vet
eran's prospects, coupled with dark
hints that Louis is a trifie stale, have
altered the popular conviction that
the Negro can name the punch and
the round.
Published reports Of a Jewish boy
colt Of the fight, because Schmeling
represents Nazi Germany, persist de-
spite denials. The New York World
Telegram said business houses have
been circularized with appeals to re-
frain from patronizing the bout. To
Joe Jacobs, Jewish manager OF
Schmeling, this is all very silly"
Nevertheless. it is topic of discus
sion along the fistic rialto as well as
a source Of some apprehension.
Unless the so-called wise money is
being kept under cover, the fight will
be marked by less wagering than any

have been quoting even money that

I must say that without the Whit

asked to give in the hunting field, and

FIGHT TAKE PUT

High-Priced Tickets Gone,
but "SmaIIer Fry" Are
Proving Apathetic.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

N YEW YORK, June l6.-Over-
nj confidence may not affect the
" ability OF Joe Louis to make
4 relatively short work Of Max
Schmeling In their 15-round heavy
weight match in the Yankee Stadium
this Thursday night, but 1t has, rela-
lively speaking, struck blow at the
gate receipts.
With the advance sale today going
beyond the half million mark, there Is
no danger Of any Of the parties in
volved losing money, but the gate" is
likely to fall considerably short Of the
goal of a million.
Even with belated rush for the
box offices the aggregate Is unlikely, to
exceed 750, 900, which means that Louis
and Schmeling each may have to be
satisfied with a paltry 100000 for
their efforts to entertain anywhere
from $4,000 to 10000 onlookers.

ADVANCE WEATHER
FORECASTS SEEN
Chief of Bureau Describes
Results Gained by Radio
Meteorograph.

Accurate long-range weather fore
casting, with predictions being made
as much as four days in advance, may
become reality as the result of ex-
periments with the radio meteoro-
graph, according to w. R. Gregg, chief
Of the United States Weather Bureau.
Gregg yesterday described over the
radio the release of the Bureau of
Standards new six-foot sounding bal
loon which was sent aloft 16 miles
with a small radio transmitter called
the radio meteorograph.
Released at the Washington Airport,
the instrument, which was perfected
by DR.. L. F. Curtiss of the Bureau of
Standards, sent back data on tenn
peratures, pressure humidity and other
conditions.
Regular use Of the meteorograph,
Gregg said, will mark the beginning of
a new epoch in weather service. The
instrument will furnish information
regarding conditions up to heights of
10 and 20 miles in all kinds of
weather, which is not the case with
any methods of upper-air observation
that have been used up to the present
time.
"It is within reason to hope" the
Weather Bureau chief declared, that
in the future we may be able to fore
cast weather conditions three or four
days in advance Of actual occurrence
instead of from one and half days,
as at present"
Such long-range forecasting. when
perfected, will be a boon to humanity,
he pointed out, since 1t may make 1t
possible to evacuate homes in advance
of hurricanes and tornadoes, which
have frequently taken heavy toll OF
lives because people could not be
warned promptly enough.
Gregg said it is planned to estab-
lish about 40 or so stations where
these observations may be made daily,
with the data being assembled at CEN
trail points and there charted and
analyzed.

The requests were made at confer

School patrons had been asked in

An unidentified friend" is suspected
by the students of George Washing

Just who he or she is, the students

cent Of the residents living within

exists. More than rs per cent of the
residents in the neighborhood waived
all objection to the three-day cele-
bration.
The trouble Is that the Police De-
partment has denied the students a
permit for the fiesta. Their reason
is that regulations, now about year
old, prohibit the use of novelty rides"
within 500 feet Of school, college or
university while the institution Is IN
