The question gripped the attention of boxing fans today. Reaching the highest level of interest manifested in any boxing contest since tile, second Dempsey-Tunney lauit at Chicago in 1927. tomorrow night’s 15-round heavyweight match promised to attract a crowd of more than 60,0t)t» and gate receipts in excess of 1600,000. Unless the bout turns out a rude disappointment, the winner should figure prominently in the selection of Gene Tanney's successor. Present plans call for the winner to meet Jack Sharkey in September, or perhaps Jack Dempsey if the former champion elects to fight again. Many see in Schmeling the future champion. The German has some of the characteristics of Dempsey in ids prime, paramount of which is his faculty for leaping to the kill. B. F. Roller was a business visitor in Fort Wayne Tuesday afternoon
