SCHMELING IS EASY WINNER New York, June 28.— (U.R) — Mix Schmeling made good! The 23-year-old German heavyweight did everything but knock out Paolino Uxcudun, stout-hearted baaquo. in a 15-round bout at Yankee utadiuin last night, and shares, with Jack Sharkey of Button, the role of leading contender for the heavyweight throne. Piercing Paulino’s arms and elbow-* defense with slashing punches to the head, Schmeling cut the basque s face to ribbons and had .hint blinded bleeding and groggy at the finish. Most of the crowd of 40,000 roared its approval of the blackhaired Teuton terror as he left the ring unmarked and fresh as a daisy. The majority agreed that the per fectly-conditioned, cool-headed German youth had accomplished the task cut out for him depite the fact that he failed to knockout Paolino as some of his ardent backers had predicted. An injury to Schmeling’s righ hand in the fifth round probably saved Paolino from the first knockout ol his career. Even so, Schmeling slashed Paolino into shreds during the last fiverounds. If the German had the full use of his best weapon. Paolino might not be able to boast today that he was on his feet at the finish. Never in recent history has a heavyweight been beaten as badly as Paolino and remained upright for Hi rounds.
Paolino left the ring in worse shape than did Tom Heeney after Gene Tunney had scored a technical k. o over the New Zealander challenger last July. He was cut up much worse than Jack Dempsey in either of his flghtsl against Tunney. The basque was bathed in blood His mouth was lacerated. A jagged wound extended along the upper lip. His left eye was cut in the corner. Roth eyes were partly closed and swollen. For the first time, the basque failed to indulge in his favorite flip-flop afte rthe fight. Schmeling has lieen hailed for his resemblance of Jack Dempsey, but his style last night was built more along the lines of Gene Tunney. The German has taken something from the best of the styles of both Deihpsey and Tunney. His straight left jab to the head had the earmarks of Tunney’s favorite punch. Many times Paolino caused Schmeling to retreat, hut again the German acted like Tunney by leaving a bar rage of blows in his wake. The United Press score gave Paolino the third, eighth and ninth rounds and the fourth and fifth were called even. Schmeling won all the rest.

Johnny Frederick, center fielder of the Brooklyn club has made good despite a most inauspicious introduction to the big leagues. The Pacific Coast League and the Southern League, in which Frederick got his schooling, wern’t recommending the lad highly when Uncle Wilbert picked him up.

Schmeling-Paolino Fight Is Broadcast Throughout Germany New York, June 28.—(U.R)—Because of its international character the Schmeling-Paolino fight was disseninated perhaps more widely, and at greater length, than any fight in history. United Press wires, rigged wp direct from the Yankee stadium, carried the story not only to American newspapers but to most of the civilized world. A special wire took the story to the WGY radio station of the General Electric company at Schenectady, whence it was broadcast in German on a specially established circuit to Berlin and re-broadcast there throughout the German republic. Berlin reported the broadcast was most sue cessful and was heard throughout Germany. Tilden Wins, Hennessey Loses At Wimbledon Wimbledon, Eng..

and it was found he hit from the port side the pilot of the Robins nearly turned him back. All of which was no very promising start for a nervous youngster. But Frederick had the stuff. In mid-June, he had run his batting average up to .370, and while he has fallen off since he showed big league ability at bat and was one of the few bright moments in Robbie’s life this spring. A number of timely homers also were included in Frederick’s conti ibut ion- to ~-what scanty measure of success the' Brooklyn club enjoyed. It Frederick gets his average back trp the hill, he will be voted by many as the leading National League rookie of 1928. At any rate, he has succeeded in overcoming the handicaps under which he entered fast company.
PLENTY OF WOE FOR GOLFERS IN NATIONAL OPEN Winged Foot Otters Tough Hazards — Hole By Hole Description New York. June 28 t CPl—Nation al golf champinshlps obviously, are played on championship courses and Winged Foot as Mamaroneck is no exception. The star pros and amateurs who will battle over Winged Foot's fairways and greens, to say nothing of battling out of Winged Foot sand tiaps, woods and roughs in the National Open, June 27, 28. 2» have plenty of respect for the cunning of A. W. Tillinghast who designed the layout. Herewith is a description of the course: 1. 445 yards. Pa: 4. Genesis. Slices and hooks, especially of the roundhouse varietq, draw moans here. About 140 yards out there is a wealth of sand The elevated green is well guarded by a sneaking deep trap at the left. Only the keenest second shot will bring the player safely home. A short second, with a chance to chip dead for a 4 is a popular method of play. 2. 37* yards Par. 4 The Elin. Lots of tfees. Thete's a long row on the right which bends into a slight dog ieg. Dandy hole for long drivers is well guarded by a cluster of trees. 3. 217 yards. Par 3. Pinnacle Lots of penalties but there’s a chance for a par or birdie if the pin is kindly placet). The many traps and trees invite disaster. 4. 410 yards. Par 4. Sound View. A bit of relief is offered here- The hole is straightaway, but there are traps to the tight which penalize slived second shots. Pitt ing will decide the issue here. 5. 517 yards. Par 5. Long Lane. A slight dogleg to the left making a player come near the rough. The round house slice will find a bunker 150 yards form the tee. The green is raised unusually high. Small slopes in the fairway from 170 to 250 yards threaten hanging lies Lots of green trapping. 6. 323 yards. Par 4. The El. Mean hole for even a Jones or a Farrell. The player who is fortunate is the one who pounds his tee shot well to the left to get an opening at the green. The green is L-shaped, with a lower part of L. hiding behind trees. But a tee shot too far to the left may bring the player into a trap at 185 yards.
7- 170 yards. Par 3. Bebe in the Woods. Lots of pars and some birdies will be registered here. The green nestles among trees but a sure mashie player should be home nicely. 9. 439 yatds. Par 4 Arena. Very slightly dogleg to the right. The can tious player will not try to shave distance, but will play well to the left The green has lots of rolls.
9- 510 yards. Par 5 Meadow. The second shot will tell the tale, for there is little hope for one who does not get distance with it. Plenty of bunkers, laid out in a lateral series are placed 15 yards in front of the green. 10. 190 yards. Par 3. Pulpit. There’s a bog between tee and green. There’s waste land on r'ght, and woods on left. A hummock is found at the left front of the green. * 11- 378 yards. Par 4. Billows. The name is derived from the uneven character of the fairway. Another birdiepossibility hole. A drive to the right center will leave one in nice shape for a dead pitch. 12. 482 yards Par 4. Cape Hummocks at the left penalize a hook. The second shot also should be placed to the right. 13. 213 yards- Par 3. White Mule. A short hole but worthy of the class that big boys will use a spoon or a long iron. 14. 376 yards. Par 4. Shamrock. The gallery should see some birdies here. A drive to the right and an easy pitch. 15. 397 yards- Par 4 Pyramid. The drive must be right-A pull or a push and there’s no chance to be home in two. The iron shot to the green must carry a valley and a book. I'i. 456 yards. Par 5. Hell’s Bells. Chance for grief here. The drive needs be long. The second shot needs be a smash. Most f the important persons will use irons, No. 2 or even No. 1 There’s something of a pit at the right approach. 17. 450 yards. Par 4. Just a bit of a dog leg. The tee shot is aimed to be a little to the left. A strong iron player will get home in two with a No. 3 if the drive has been proper. 18. 419 yards. Par 4. Revelations. The wrive is aimed at the right. A pulled tee shot brings remorse. The second shot has to be a high drifting iron shot. o — Preacher Joins Ranks Os Hole-In-One Club . Columbia City.
