he brilliantly outplayed the Dis

ting's souvenirs today of his battle
with Ben Foord.
And Foord, who grinned his way
through a fight which certainly
added nothing to Schmeling' S
lustre, came out as a potential
drawing card in the United States.
Twenty.one thousand spectators
we're disappointed when Schmeling
failed to score his first knock-down
or knockout in his last two years
Of fighting in Germany.
Yet the fight was easily
Schmeling'S, for he took 10 of the
dozen rounds from the South
African. Due in large measure to
his injured hand, Max apparently
lacked the sting to floor Foord.
The former champ insisted,
however, that the hurt was
neither serious nor permanent.
Il had a long transatlantic talk
with Joe Jacobs (his manager) ,
who was apparently afraid my
thumb was hurt badly" said
Schmeling. But it's nothing
serious"
He added that he was "consid-
ering several offers in the United
States. I have not made up my
mind, but will know within a few
days."
A scheduled fight with Walter
Neusel, whom he has beaten be-
fore, is definitely off, Schmeling
said.
Foord was stopped last autumn
in the ninth round b. Max Baer,
but that fact apparently will not
keep him out Of the ranks of
the foreigners invading American
rings.

This record shows him knocked

All told, with not less than
$50, 900 in matches facing him
through the next two months and
practically no change of going
very far wrong against outstand-
ing humpty dumpties like these,
Braidock's decision to retire left
the fight people somewhat baf-
fled. They figured he was through
in Chicago when knocked out by
Louis, but he came back. And
now Ghat he's back, he's through.
This, of course, helps to solodify
Schmeling's position as the No. l
challenger for Louis in June,
although a few more quasi-fail-
ures-supposedly induced by an
injured right hand-with the
Foords of this life won't help.
