SCHMELINGTO DEFEND TITLE IN SEPTEMBER Says Camera or Sharkey Would Make Best Drawing Card New York, July 6—(U.PJ-Max Schmeling will defend his world’s heavyweight championship again in September against either Primo Camera or the winner of the Jack Sharkey Mickey Walker fight. Schmellng and his manager, Joe Jacobs, told of their plans for the September battle, at Jersey City Philadelphia (' Chicago Ln an exclusive interview with i' e| United Press today. They are ( scheduled tor a conference with President W F. Carey at Madison Square Garden anil Damon Runyan. representing the New York milk fund, which will share in the promotion of the September bout, sometime before Schmeling sails for Germany at midnight tonight. ( Jacolrs revealed that although the champion's contract with thel Garden calls for a bout witli Carnera. there is a possibility that the winner of the Sharkey-Walker I match, scheduled at Brooklyn late this month, may be substituted. “I understand Camera has not fulfilled some of the requirements' of his contract.” Jacobs said I "There is a possibility that the . Sharkey-Walker winner may be; substituted. We don’t care. The i main thing in Schmeling’s estimation, that "best opponent" would | be either Sharkey or Camera. Lie believes either of them would give him a harder battle than Stribling did in his first defense of the crown. The German, incidentally, thinks that his 15-round technical knockout over Striding, is proof that he is champion of the world in reality as well as in name. The German listed Sharkey first! In the heavyweight ratings he i gave the United Press, with Car-, nera second. Sharkey, he said, was "a good boxer and dangerous but does not I hit hard enough to beat me". Camera he characterized cs 1 "formidable because of his size; and punching ability but lacking in the boxing skill and ability to; take punishment necessary for a rhanxpion.” He ranks the other heavyweights ’ in the following order: Stribling,' Tommy Loughran, Mickey Walker, Vittorio Campolo, Paulino Uzeudun. and Charley Retzlaff. Walker, Schmeling believes, has i everything but the size. "A champion at his own weight but not a I match for front-rank heavies.”. The German thinks Retzlaff is "the finest young prospect and.; after he gains experience, my most likely successor. Schmeling said Stribling was a; fine defensive boxer and a hard hitter but that he “lacks the true! champion’s ability to do his best work under pressure." The German said he was confl- ■ dent he could defeat any heavyweight in the world today. He plans to stay in Germany until about August 1 or "whenever Joe Jacobs sends for me." • o Condor Larger Bird The condor weighs ’more and has a greater wing spread than the al taitross.

ROBINS MAKE GREAT GAINS New York. July 6. —(U.R) —Fears I that the Brooklyn Robins kicked | away their 1931 National league I 1 i pennant hopes during an early( season slump appeared today to; have been premature. The Robius, who spent the first j two months of the season buried in J the second division, have won IS of their last 22 contests to climb to 1 third place, four games behind the • St. Louis Cardinals, current pacesetters. Rated as one of the most form-1 idable clubs in the circuit, Brook-' lyn could not hit its expected stride until the Robins began the home; stand which they climaxed yester-. i i day with a 4 to 3 victory over the! ' New York Giants. The victory! gave the Robins a record of 16 vic-' , tories against four defeats iu 20! . home games against Chicago, Pitts-1 , burgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati and I . New York. Previous to coming to I I Ebbets field the Robins had won '• , two at Pittsburgh. i Jack Quinn, veteran spitball i f hurler, celebrated what he said was’ > his 42nd birthday, but what the! t ’ record books show as his 46th, by I pitching Brooklyn to its third! • j straight victory over the second I i ’ place Giants. -* Quinn relieved Luque in the 7th j ((and retired the nine men to face l I j him in order. The Robins manu-l i factured the run that gave Quinn j victory in the ninth inning on two ■ singles, a base on balls and O’Daul’s| II long tty. 1 The St. Louis Cardinals retained i I I their three and one half game margin of leadership over the Giants although defeated 2 to 1 in ten innings by the Chicago Cubs. Pat’ Malone and Hack Wilson, who have! been accused of giving Manager! Rogers Hornsby some trouble this! season, combined their talents to ’ upset the 193(1 pennant winners. 1 Malone allowed only seven hits and ' helped win his own game when he 1 (doubled in the tenth and scored on’ " ilson's single. Wilson forced the ! I game in extra innings in the ninth I when he singled, took second on a! wild pitch, third on an infield out,' and scored on Hartnett's single, j Pittsburgh came from behind to I defeat Cincinnati, 6 to 4. Boston defeated Philadelphia 4; to 2 in the other National league; game. Fred Frankhouse allowed I only four hits in registering hisl fifth consecutive triumph. Washington cut Philadelphia's I American league leadership to four ; and one half games by defeating I the Athletics, 4 to 2. George Team-1 haw allowed only six hits, but five 1 errors by his mates caused his downfall. New York dropped further behind the second place Senators by losing 6 to 3 in 11 innings to the | Boston Red Sox. The St. Louis Browns continued ' their winning ways by taking the! first game of a double header from I the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 1 but they were beaten out in the aftermath, 6 to 5. Sam Gray held Chicago to four hits in the opener. I Detroit defeated Cleveland, 5 to 4 in a contest that was called in

It! I was the "eneral opinion of seevral I ( of those who had gathered at the i ! scene, that the girl had cut the curls I from her head with a pair of seis-1 .sors which she had taken to the! I shed with her. Te girl told Sheriff Johnson she , was usigg the scissors to trim her finger-nails with. However, the (description of the man was traced down and an Adams county farmer [ I whose des.ription the girl had pre-1 J sumably given was located seven | j miles south of the scene of the alleged "attack". | The man produced evidence that i he had been in bed an hour before | the alleged scene took place. Sheriff [Johnson stated today that he was | continuing the investigation. 0 SOVIETS PLAN NEW SYSTEM ; (CON'TNUED FROM PAGE ONE) | . ! ministrative posts. They are suf-; | lie-lent to manage any business. The ' j remainder of the members of the I collegium (directorate) should be' sent to Work in the factories. It | would be better for them and bet-1 , ter for business.” The second conference leaders, it ' was indicated, had expected some! [such admonition. However, the [ most vital section of Stalin's speech I was seen as his reference to the development of a new "working ! class intelligentsia.” Stalin insisted on t'ne cessation (of persecution of that section of i The old intelligentsia who he said. I were working loyally. He said that 1 j lhe Soviet state's internal enemies (temporarily had lost hope of for|eign intervention, and were now inI dined to collaborate with the work- ’ ing class. Another major point made during [Stalin's address—an address which I may mark his own “new economic I policy”—was a proposal that high- ; er pay should be offered as an in- , centive for better and more skilled work. Stalin ridiculed the idea of equality of incomes as “utopion.” I He quoted Karl Marx and Lenin to the effect that “even in socialism, wages should be paid in ac- . cordance with the work performed, [not in accordance with needs.” Stalin also came out in favor of disbanding the unwieldy Soviet ;. state trusts into smaller upits, enI abling closer supervision and giving greater personal responsibility •| to managers. ’ IT— O Ne « ,a « Electric Wash1 ing Machine, $95.00.

DECATUR LOSES THREE GAMES Decatur's Independent baseball team ended the first half season in the Wabash Valley league disastrously when the locals lost three an.es over the holiday week-end. Foi Wayne took Decatur into camp 15 6 at the West Adams street diamond Saturday afternoon. Butler wolf the double-header program yesterday afternoon here by scores of 6-0 and 85. Cochran pitched the Saturday game and ( ! Laird and Schneider tossed the ' I games yesterday. The Decatur team will be com ! i pletely re-organized this week for! I (he start of the second half and lo- i leal ians believe that a winning com-1 bination can be gathered ;ogetlu>. for the home stretch. Yesterday's games were played before the smallest crowd of the (season, due largely to the fact that | many local fans were away from I home over the week end. A meeting will be called this i week at which time a president and (treasurer will be named for the local club. Several good players have [ been signed for the second half of I the season, including besides the lo- ' cal talent Cleary. Christman, Nor-1 (is and Laird of Fort Wayne. \ on Elm Takes Lead Toledo, 0., July 6 —(U.R) —George Von Elm, Detroit, was one under Billy Burke at the end of the first 18 holes in the play-off match ' l of the national open golf tourney j being held here today. Burke was , one under Von Elm at the end of : the first nine holes of play, after! ( staging a great comeback. Anoth-1 !er 18 holes are scheduled to be ( played this afternoon. FORMER BERNE WOMAN EXPIRES (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) Berne. Three years ago the family ’ moved to Auburn. Surviving is the husband, the (father, and a daughter, Laverda Louise, aged 8, at home. One daughter preceded her in death. The following brothers and sisters also survive: Mrs. Faye Guilder, Decatur; Robert, Recatur; I Hulda, Berne; Florence, Auburn. ! The deceased was a member of | the Blue Creek Methcdist church,' east of Berne. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 'o’clock at the Mennonite church, and burial will be in the M. R. E. cemetery. ! GOVERNMENT SUBMITS PLAN AS SUBSTITUTE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, I doubt, to a misunderstanding of' our governmental relations to the ’ financial machinery of the coun-j try. "The French government insists' that reparations in kind, which* involve about $20,000,000 so far as France is concerned, should be dis-1

i tinguisbed from other reparations. H is not so much the $20,000,000 , involved as the fact that we have already been notified from four or five other governments th it they must make exceptions to the i president's plan if exceptions are made to anyone. And thus the plan would become very seriously whittled away. “The reparations in kind, however, are a very technical question, as are the other questions raised by the French government. They all arise from the difficulties lying in the complex character of individual rights to reparations from Germany under the Young plan. i "Mr. Mellon has not felt that I we could accept the French note ■as a basis for settlement as it raised such new and serious diffiI culties and did not accept the I president's plan in principle, i which has been done by all the ! other important governments. ' We have, however, communicated to Mr. Mellon a new and simplified formula which we believe mots, the entire situation as it simply provides that we agree in principle on ceitain major questions and that all technical questions and reparations in kind and every other question should ! lie referred to a committee of I treasury experts of the different powers, who should arrive at the solution of them within the broad i spirit of the president's proposal. We feel that it will offer a constructive solution to the various difficulties.” LEON MAURER IS ARRESTED j (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) I - (the arrest. ! Maurer was brought to the Adlams county jail. This morning a | check-up of the automobile he had in his possession revealed that the j license plates wore not issued to | him and did not correspond with the automobile on which they were at the time of Maurer’s arrest. Maurer told Sheriff Johnson that he purchased the automobile in Cleveland, Ohio. A few weeks ago : he also had another car, but he said I his "partner" took the car back to Chicago. It is probable that the man will be arraigned in juvenile court Wednesday or Thursday of this week. .Two Employes Dismissed — j Indianapolis, July 6.—(U.R) —Two (former republican employes who returned to the statehouse last month in new positions, again are jobless, it was learned today. They are Frank Richards, who was assistant treasurer under the (regime of Mrs. Grace Banta ReynIclds, and Ralph Bobbitt, who was an attache in the office of secretary of state under Otto G. Fifield. Both men had returned as accountants for the Public Service (Commission, but when the appoint- ' ments were given to Governor ! Harry G.
