Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 27—01d Doc Kearns, the veteran fight manager, chanted a requiem over a human fiction of his own creation over there in that sprawling Long Island bowl, Monday night. Between the eighth and the ninth rounds Old Doc, wearing a cap and a turtle neck sweater, walked across the rig, tugged the referee by the sleeve and said: “Give him the fight.” He meant arive it to Max Schmeling. Schmeling and Mickey Walker had been fighting for what the newspapers said was the chance to meet Jack Snarkev for the heavyweight championship next summer. It had been a rousing fight, with a lot of action and gore and brutality, and some of our very nice people, sitting around the ringside in the cool, crisp air In autumn furs and top coats seemed to be having a delightful outing. Though he had been rocked to his heels bv hard rights to the taw several times. Walker had come up to the eighth round in prettv fair shape. In fact, the fight at this stage was actually close, so close, that, vou could have called it either wav. Walker had given his side something to cheer about in the seventh round when he got in close, under Schmellng's leads, and banged awav at the German's torso with Jolting rights and lefts, varying the attack at intervals with short, ripping right uppercuts to the chin. v a m THEY came out for the eighth. And then something happened. A whistling righthander caught Walker on the jaw and sent him spinning, twisting, whirling to the floor, as if he had been hooked and thrown high by a charging bull. He fell against the ropes on the side of the ring in front of one of the judges. The rubber mouthpiece he wears to protect his lips and teeth spurted out and went bounding across the ring. He blinked his eyes and tightened his Tips in a spasm of pain. The blow had hurt him badly. By now his other eye was beginning to close, his nose was battered and blood fell from a split lip, forming little crimson stains on the white canvas. “Stay down, Mickey," the partisan, sympathetic crowd roared. But at six Mickey was up .moving around on legs grotesquely stiff and awkward, crowding forward, trying In some way to reach his oppressor with a telling blow. Pretty soon the short, chunky little man was down on the floor again, dazed and squirming, like an animal that had been beaten off with an ax handle. Some of the boys say he fell from his own exhaustion but unless my eyes deceived me he was hit by another roaring right hand. He toppled over right in front of me and I can still see that awful picture of suffering etched across his tired face. Once more came the cry of "stay down Mickev” and this time Mickey stayed down as long as the law allows. At nine he was up. and then came one of the most magnificent demonstrations of raw courage that has ever been witnessed in the prize sing. Cruelly beaten, hopelessly outclassed, blinded, weak and tottering, the veteran battler staggered back to the attack. He stood there throwing punches and taking punches. Schmellng pleaded with the referee to stop it. and when he refused the German tore into Walker with a fresh vollev of rights and lefts to the head, reluctant vet determined to put over t.tee kill. Bv tPis time the crowd was hysterical, appalled bv Walker's torture, amazed at his heroic stand but for the most part lost completely in the primitive savagerv that was being enacted on the roped off altar under the glare of the arc lights. "Hold on to him. Mickev. Don’t try to hit him.” the crowd screamed. Mickev didn’t hold on. The Mickev Walkers never hold on. They either come home with their shields or on them. In some miraculous manner Walker was still on his feet, swaving drunkenlv when the bell rang ending the round. n it WITH a moment in which to catch your breath and fan your fevered senses you reflected what,a pity it was to waste such fine fighting gameness on this sort of business. It was all so cruel and barbaric and idiotic. And what about old Doc Kearns? What was he thinking about over there in the corner? Wasn’t this Walker supposed to be his best pal, and here he was letting him get murdered. These scattered thoughts had hardly taken form belore Old Doc walked across the ring, tugged the referee by the sleeve and said: “Give him the fight.” Thus it was that Old Doc publicly admitted that Walker as a heavyweight contender was merely a bit of human fiction. Possibly Old Doc knew this all the time. If he didn’t he does now. And so does the rest of the fight world. Walker was a game, gallant fighter, probably the greatest fighter of his inches this generation ever saw. The main trouble with him was that he didn’t grow big enough.

RUFFING, BUSH PROBABLE SLAB RIVALS IN OPENER

Yankee Chief Delays Naming of Starter McCarthy Hints Big Red Has Inside Track for Mound Assignment in World Series Lid-Lifter at New York Wednesday; Cubs on Hand. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept, 27.—Charley Ruffing, big right-hander of the New York Yankees, and Guy Bush, Chicago Cubs’ right-hander, seem destined to clash In the opening game of the world series at Yankee stadium on Wednesday. After a workout with teammates at the stadium Monday, Ruffing expressed confidence that he would be selected to pitch the opener. Joe McCarthy, Yankee manager, did not attend the drill. At the Yankee offices, McCarthy, while refusing to state definitely that Ruffing would be his selection, intimated that “Red” had the inside track for the assignment. Ruffing pitched in batting practice with three other hurlers, Danny McPayden, Ed Wells and Charley Devens, none of whom will be used in the first game. The ever-faithful McCarthy was feeling unusually blue Monday because Johnny Allen, his rookie sensation, was batted out of the box at Boston Sunday by the tail-end Red Sox. Allen is on the list to start the third world series game—the opener of the contests in Chicago on Saturday. His failure rounded out a disappointing week by Yankee hurlers, Ruffing and Gomez having been beaten by the A’s.

He ripped open cuts above and under Griffiths’ right eye, had him dazed, bleeding from the mouth, and unable to defend himself. With Griffiths leaning helplessly against the ropes, Baer humanely halted his attack and looked pleadingly at the referee to stop the bout. The fight continued until the seventh.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig batted with their usual vigor in the practice session. Ruth said he was feeling fine. The Yanks were joined here today by the Cubs, who arrived from Chicago at 9 a. m. McCarthy’s outfit practiced at the stadium in the forenoon, and the Cubs will work out there in the afternoon. Charlie Grimm, Chicago pilot, definitely has decided on Guy Bush for the first game pitching job, and will choose between Lon Werneke and Charley Root for the second tilt. Mark Koenig and Woody English, injured infielders, are ready for action, Grimm said, and he will start his regular lineup. Today’s workout gave many of the Cub players their first glimpse of Yankee stadium. Bush never has seen the big park, and also never has seen Babe Ruth except in the movies. Ed Barrow, business manager of the Yanks, indicated that the advance sale for series tickets had run far below the series of 1928. He said there had been a steady demand for tickets, ‘‘but it is only natural that in a season of financial stress there should be a slight let-down, as compared with years of great prosperity.”

Schmeling Victor in Thrilling Ring Tussle German Batters Courageous Mickey Walker Into Defeat; Ex-Champion Scores Two Knockdowns for Technical K. 0. Win in Eight Rounds. BY JACK CUDDY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. 27.—Jack Sharkey’s next heavyweight championship bout opponent has been determined by one of th e bloodiest, most sensational ring battles in recent years—by Max Schmeling’s technical knockout of Mickey Walker after he floored the Toy Bulldog twice. The twice-postponed Schmeling-Walker tussle came to a close after eight rounds of slugging and clinching. Walker, after holding his own in the early rounds, wilted definitely under a two-fisted attack by the German ex-champion in the final round. Mickey, long before he was beaten, flashed over staggering rights and lefts to Maxie’s head, especially in the fourth and fifth rounds. Schmeling was in such danger then that his supporters implored him to go in and score the blow they believed would end the fight. But Max weathered these storms, and, in the seventh round took the lead and held it until the show was over.

The end came with a dramatic suddenness seldom equaled in heavyweight fights. Walker no sooner sat down in his corner at the end of the eighth than Jack Kearns, his manager, began a one-sided argument. Their conversation ended when Kearns strode away and beckoned to Referee Jack Denning. The referee nodded to announcer Joe Humphries. Schmeling was termed winner by technical knockout. Maxie Hits Stride Schmeling, always a slow starter, hit his stride at the start of the eighth round. The round was less than a minute under way when he shot a crushing right jolt to Mickey’s left temple. Walker’s knees buckled. He fell to the canvas. Gamely, Walker rose at the count of six. Blood streamed from his mouth. Schmeling floored him again with a hard right to the jaw r . Mickey took the count of nine and staggered feet. Schmeling eager for a knockout, swarmed over him, pounding lefts and rights to the face as the bell clanged. When the gong sounded again for the ninth, Walker tried to rise from his stool, but Jack Kearns placed an arm around his shoulder and insisted: “It’s all over, Mickey.” Walker in Bad Shape Kearns realized that Walker was a beaten man. He hardly could see' from either eye, and blood streamed from his mouth and a cut on the bridge of his nose. The boxing commission announced the result as a technical knockout in eight rounds. Schmeling weighed Walker 17414. The battle was a benefit for the Free Milk Fund for Babies, Inc., of which Mrs. William Randolph Hearst is chairman. It was witnessed by about 45,000 fans who paid $156,000. Jack Sharkey, the champion, was among the spectators. Preliminaries to the main event: Charley Berlanger. 184.
