SPECULATOR, N. Y, June 49,
Around the clock with Max Schmeline
IN his mountain fastness:
$50 am-Max arises He is arising
better than at any time in the last 10
years, according to Manager Joe Jacobs
II never saw him throw that right
leg out Of bed more cleanly," says Mr.
Jacobs. Louis is as good as licked
right now"
II can 60 to my right or left, getting
out of this hay" says the fighter him
self, q close student of his own form.
IT have played the right side more often
IN the past, but, in preparation for the
Louis fight, have perfected quick
left upheaval which will surprise the
experts"
Accurate in Brushing Teeth.
1892 a.m.-Max brushes his teeth.
How do you like that for sharp
shooting?" says Manager Jacobs ex-
citedly. HE never misses. Those are
the best, quickest and gamest fangs
that money can buy. but they cannot
get away from that brush of Maxs. I
never saw him more accurate"
800 a.m.-Max goes outdoors to
tame a chipmunk, while his chef,
Josef Daschner, hurls defiance at Joe
Louis chef.
'The fellow does not belong in the
same ring with me-" says Herr Dasch-
ner. But I am willing to meet him
over 10-foot gas range, with l8-
ounce or gymnasium skillets and beat
his brains out with my bouillabaisse. +"
$50 am.-Max's trainer, Max
Machon, hurls defiance at Louis
trainer, Jack Blackburn.
II can lick him." says Herr Machon,
~but he will have to leave his razors in
the dressing ROOM"
Follows Tunney's Footsteps.
Meanwhile. Max is out on the road
running in the footsteps Of Gene Tun-
Aney. who trained here for the first
Dempsey fight. There Is a local feeling
that these footsteps should be removed
because they constitute traffic hazard,
but Max likes them there.
Those footsteps are minding their
own business and doing the best they
can" says the German staunchly.
11:00 a.m.-Max tames another chip
munk. He does this with peanuts. He
has some trouble shooing away the
elephants who come out of the woods
to grab for this food, but eventually
the coast is clear and the chipmunk
eats out of Max's hand, never failing to
leave tip when the meal is over.
1890 p.m.-Lunch is served 1t con-
sists Of light meats. such as chicken
and veal, fruit, salad and mineral wa
ter. Max never drinks whisky when
1t can be avoided and it can be avoided
up here by everybody but the working
press.
Sparmates Abhor Fighting.
500 p.m.-Max spars. His sparring
partners are all graduates of the United
States Army, but they did no fighting
there and the truce still is on as far as
they are concerned. These partners
are as follows:
AL Albin, who fought a famous 81
minute first round with Baby Jack
Torrence in which Al was given two
nve-minute rest periods by the referee
Joe Mack, the man in the iron mask
whose face Schmeling has never seen
Joe wears the mask to protect his dam
aged nose cartilage. He has also put

consists of steak, vegetables, fruit and
mineral water.

Julian Black and John Roxborough.
800 pm.-Max plays skat, Ger
man game, and poker, with his staff
The poker is draw and the boys open

1000 p.m.-Max goes to bed.
HE never went to bed better" says
