Talking It Over BY-JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 6—A few hours after the Cleveland ®ght, Young Stribling. looking at You with eyes that swam with fatigue and talking through split, puffed lips, said: "A year ago Schmellng would have been a pop-over for me. But now he’s too good. Much too good." Nobody will give Young Stribling an argument on that point. Th-j Schmellng who fought on the shores of Lake Erie was a much better fighter than the Schmeling who flopped to the canvas from a low blow by Sharkey after three rounds of catching in which he was plainly outclassed. The German knows more about fighting than he did a year ago. The crudities which marked his earlier performances In this country are no longer so glaringly evident. His technique Is sounder and he seems to have a firmer grasp of the mechanics of the game. For one thing he Is a vastly better defensive fighter. Against Stribling his blocking was perfect. Whereas In the cast he was a wide open target, ridiculously easy to hit. Against the Oeorgian he was a bulwark of gloves, arms and elbows, and as a conseouence Stribling dtdn't hit him one solid punch. That Schmellng should have Improved so markedly In this detail was the outstanding surprise of the fight. Here Is a comparative novice who hadn’t had a fight In a year and in his last fight was so wide open that Sharkey was able to hit him at will. Indeed, it seemed as if he couldn't miss him. Now how are you to account for that? And remember that blocking flnnesse Is not an Instructive thing, but something aeaulred through actual experience. Pa Strlbling's explanation may be close to the facts. “That long exhibition tour the German went on before the fight made him what he Is today. These trips generally ruin a fighter, but Schmellng took the exhibitions seriously. He made a class room clinic of each appearance. Instead of merely loafing through the bouts he was experimenting. practicing and trying something all the time.’’

ON the subject of fighting the German is naturally inquisitive and studious. On top of that he is painstakingly thorough. I suppose it is also true that his zeal was fired beyond normal limit by the public’s apathetic acceptance of his championship pretentions. Whatever the cause, the result has been to his gain and credit. Young Stribling conceded defeat very early. His plan of attack was to lefthand Schmellng dizzy, keep him constantly off balance, and run up a one-sided victory on points. Asa plan it was admirable. but that was about all. Schmeling refused to be hit with a left hand. And what made the situation all the more embarrassing he was distinctly inhospitable to right hands. Along about the fifth or sixth round one of the numerous Striblings who populated the Georgian’s corner urged him to eo out and give the German his left hand. "I'm tryins to. but he won’t tako it/’ answered the already distressed battler.

I NOTE some of the boys have written that it was a great fight. It was scarcely that. Eut it was a better fight than anybody figured it to be. For six or seven rounds it was a dime-a-dozen fight, and the boys back in the $3 seats were giving it the equivalent of the Bronx bird. Stribling didn’t have much more than * drawl and a simulated ferocity, and Schmeling. always a slow starter, laid bade off the pace until the late rounds when the southerner began to fade from nervous exhaustion and the punishment he was absorbing In close Quarters another phase of the game at which the German showed astonishing ability. As is always the case In any fight much of Schmeling's Impressiveness was due to his opponent’s deficiencies. To begin with .Stribline had no stamina or Are. and It was no surprise that he began early to show symptoms of distress. As early as the third round he was breathing with painful difficulty and suffering stomach convulsions. Never a great fighter, he was less of a fighter against Schmellng than I have ever seen him. About the only difference I noted was his studied, resolute program not to clinch or wrestle. It was plain that he had gone into the fight with the hope of putting an end to the charge he was not courageous. I AM not trying to take anything away from Schmeling, but it is the truth that he did not begin to look like a real champion until Stribling had spent himself. From the tenth to the finish the German was in complete command, and he fought with splendid effect and eye appeal. Condition more than anythin* else enabled Schmeling to ride back to the heights of public acclaim. He could have fought forty-five rounds. Stribling didn’t have condition or mental poise. Had he been as well equipped in thte, respect as was the German, the two young gents would be fighting yet—and it would not have been much of a spectacle. What about Schmeling? Well. I’ll admit he’s a real good fighter, but I still will have to see him whip Sharkey, being stubborn like that.

VON ELM AND BURKE MIX IN SECOND PLAY-OFF

Links Title Clash Is Record for Distance Golf Aces Tie in 72 Holes and Again Finish Even Over 36 Route Sunday; Struggle Filled With Feature Shots by Both. By United Press INVERNESS GOLF CLUB, Toledo, July 6.—George Von Elm was out In front by one stroke at the end of eighteen holes today in the second thirty-six-hole playoff for the national open golf title. It was a see-saw match, each golfer leading at different times! Billie Burke was one up at sixteen. BY DICK MILLER ____ _ Time* Staff Correspondent TOLEDO, July 6.—Tired, but determined, two golfers, Billy Burke of Greenwich, Conn., and George Von Elm of Detroit, began the second thirty-six-hole playoff match here today, hoping to decide the longest open golf championship of the United States. These tenacious young men fought a thirty-six-hole playoff match Sunday without decision, both finishing with 149 strokes. The title play scheduled to end Saturday night at the completion of seventy-two holes of play, the regular championship distance, at that time found this pair of the original field of 144 who began play Thursday morning, deadlocked with scores of 292 each. This is the first time since the thirty-six-hole plan of playoff was inaugurated in 1928 at Chicago Olympia fields course, that the thirty-six-hole route was not enough to decide the open championship. A thirty-six-hole playoff decided the title in 1929, and an eighteen-hole playoff decided it in 1927. Back in 1924, eighteen holes was not enough, so an extra eighteen was required.

YOUNG STAR RELEASED Harry GeLssberger, the 19-year-old shortstop the Pittsburgh Pirates found early this spring playing with a San Francisco high school team, has been released under option to the Wichita dub of the Western Leagua.

Von Elm revealed his tenacious characteristics Sunday to remain in the championship fight. Displaying the same stout heart that aided him to hole a ten-foot putt on the eighteenth Saturday for a birdie 3 and make his total 292 to equal a figure already hung up by Burke as low score for 72 holes, Von Elm likewise holed a ten-footer on this same green late Sunday to give him a birdie on the thirty-sixth hole and a total of 149. Thereupon Burke put down a three-foot putt for his 149. Which ever of the two does not "blow” today should win the SI,OOO prize money, custody of the cup and medal which says he is champion. There were two noteworthy features in the playoffs. One was Von Elm’s card which showed four consecutive birdies in the afternoon round. Saturday another feature was the success at chip-shooting displayed by Burke. He holed out on the ninth from thirty-nine feet. He also chipped out on the eleventh hole. He holed out from seventyfive feet away. The standing of the players changed repeatedly during the rounds, with Burke holding the upper hand throughout most of the morning round, and Von Elm forging into the lead later in the day.

On the dog-legged seventh where Ted Ray shot four birdies back in the 1920 tournament which he won. Burke chose to follow the example of the Englishman ana took the short wav across the ravine and was. safe in the fairway, fifty yards from the pin. Von Elm tried the short fen short into the rough on the hillside. His second was still in the rough short of green and after getting on in three he missed a four bv an inch. Burke on in two. got a birdie 3 to pick up the m ? r S irl held by Von Elm and sauare the match. Burke missed a chance to go into the lead on the eighth, after getting on the green with his tee shot.

Sharkey-Walker 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. “There is a possibility the Sharkey-Walker winner may be substituted.” In Schmeling’s estimation, that “best opponent” would be either Sharkey or Camera. He believes either of them would give him a harder battle than Stribling did in his first defense of the crown. The German, incidentally, thinks his fifteen -round technical knockout over Stribling is proof that he is champion of the world in reality as well as in name. The German listed Sharkey firs* ia the heavyweight ratings he gave

Louisville Puts on Wild Rally to Knock Off Tribe

The exhausted Indians were home today resting up for another road journey that begins in Milwaukee Tuesday. The Tribesmen came up from Louisville after dropping two out of three and will depart for the Cream City tonight to start their second swing of the season around the western half of the circuit. The Hoosiers are hanging in seventh place just a mere whisker out of the cellar as a result of the disastrous invasion cf Columbus, Toledo and Louisville. In eleven starts the locals dropped eight games, losing three in four to the Red Birds, three in four to the Hens and two in three to the Colonels. In the twin bill in Derbytown on the Fourth the Indians grabbed the first, 7 to 3, and were bowled over in the second, 8 to 5. One tilt was staged on the Sabbath and the count was 11 to 4 in favor of the Kentuckians when the curtain fell. Cvengros, Smith and Hall operated on the Tribe mound and Louisville used Wilkinson, Tincup and Weinert. Louisville rallied in the eighth for nine runs, the Tribe pitching going into total eclipse.

Wilson forced the game in extra innings in the ninth when he singled, took second on

the eighth. Ray Fitzgerald had trouble on ground balls all through the series and a costly one scooted by him Sunday during the Colonels’ winning rally.
