Two Trains of Thought Are ‘Running in German’s Skull, Mind- Reader Joe Discovers
One Shows Max Eager to Prove Great Heavyweight— Other Hints Rich Purse His Only Goal; Williams Can't Decide W
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
APANOCH, N. Y., June 16—As
attemept any serious experiments. Up to now most of my subjects have been of a class which require no great mental strain. People like conen, screen ingenues and wrestlers. I didn’t think prize fighters would be much different, but my experi“ment un Max Scameling was not completely satisfactory. I mean the results were confusing. Seeking to learn precisely what was on the German heavyweight’s mind, I got two answers, rather than one. They
were contradictory. My first contact with his mind disclosed a quality that is not usually associated with professional prize fighters, to wit, a high, flam-' ing ambition. I now take you inside the Schmeling skull where you will please take your - seat quietly and refrain from smok- | ing. Listen closely, and you will hear the chattering brain cells at work. “I want to win, because I want to be the first exhe a vy weight champion to regain the title. This will be a great honor for me and my country. If I succeed I will have done something none of the great heavyweights of the past was able to do. What do I care for the money? 1 am a-rich man already. I want to write a chapter in ring history that will live for years. I don’t want to be remembered as just another prize fighter.” ... As I say, the results of this experiment were confusing. Just as I was beginning to lose my professional detachment in a growing warmth for the nobility of the German’s purpose, the brain cells broke out in sharp laughter—a most extraordinary thing for brain cells to do—and it was evident a foul hoax had been perpetrated. It then developed Schmeling was approaching the fight with this in mind. .. . “Yes, I know Joe Louis will probably knock me out. But what of it? I'll get at least $250,000 for my end and what a sucker I'd be to pass _ that up! I've been knocked out before and the experience isn’t so dreadful. Besides I won't have to take. any more punishment than I care to. I can call it quits at any time; even in the first round if I want to, so no matter what happens I can't lose much.” J o »
ROM tlre day the match was made the boys have been scratching their onions trying to decide what motivated Schmeling to take it. On form he figures to be a popover for the young Negro. It would naturally follow then that he took the match to make money; but he is known to have money in his own right and his wife is a successful, well-paid actress. I'd prefer you place your own estimate on Schmeling’s statement his main interest lies in winning; back the championship, and thus, becoming an illustrious figure in ring history. I've heard that one before, too. Whether he honestly believes he can lick Louis is some‘thing else. If he doesn’t, then he ‘ can have but one interest—the size of the purse.
N his training activities here I Schmeling hasn't displayed anything to convince onlookers he is an improved fighter; he is still a right-hand puncher and not a fast warkman either with feet or hands. His condition has been pronounced | fit and he appears undisturbed by ‘the stories of Louis’ destructive fists. I think you can believe him when he says, “I will’ not be afraid.” But Schmeling surprises you when he takes an inventory of his fighting weapons. For instance, he speaks of the effectiveness of his left hand as a means of keeping Louis off balance in maneuvering for a right-hand knockout. When he speaks of his left it requires great restraint not to interrupt and ask, “what left?” To the German's followers this should be alarming. The inference is clear he doesn’t realize his own defects, that he is placing a strong reliance in a power he does not possess. Schmeling’s strategy is being planned by Max Machon, his friend and trainer. Machon talks teriously of -having discovered a vial weakness in Louis” technique, EJ » td T IS usually wise to take such discoveries with a large grain of salt. They might easily be the principal ingredients in the distillation of a potent ballyhoo. Louis’ technique is an open book, the pages of which have been pored over by the
sibly Machon is a superior analyst. As to that, I wouldn't know. My unities to study Machon have been limited, and it may be I have not seen him at his best. It is not easy to get a line on the deeper i: of a man merely by watching him carry a water bottle into the ring. Still Louis dls may have some weakhas managed to conceal

Birds Triumph in Test Case
Ryba Goes on Active List| as A. A. Rule Is Repealed.
By United Press . : COLUMBUS, O., June 16—President ‘George M. Trautman of the American: Association today announced the league's rule which prohibited a team from receiving help after May 15 from another club of higher classification under the same ownership had been repealed. The Columbus club, owned by the St. Louis Cardinals, recently made a test case of it when they secured Pitcher Mike Ryba after the deadne. § Trautman held the law valid, but Columbus appealed to Judge W. G. Bramham of the National Association of Minor Leagues, who ruled the law contrary to the major-minor agreement and ordered Ryba placed on the active list. A poll of club presidents in the Association was then taken by Trautman and it was agreed to abide by Bramham’s ruling and not take the case to baseballs’ high commissioner, Judge Kenesaw M. Landis.

For he was merely adding a third act to his handsome hand of golf cards. He drew the ace on the 120-yard ninth hule, duplicating a shot, which he manufactured for his first hole-in-one on the same green in 1934. Kamman picked up ace No. 2 on a Bedford course.

Fails to Land Pitcher: Trosky Out.
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June: 16.—Lastminute strengthening of major league pennant hopefuls before the trading deadline Jast midnight failed to materialize and today’s rosters were little’ changed from those of a week ago. Only the St. Louis Cardinals, leaders of the National League race, took ad-
cific Coast League farm, and bringing Infielder Arthur Garibaldi to St. Louis. - The tail-spin-ning New York Giants, believed a cinch to .acquire a good pitcher and some hitting strength before the deadline, failed to make a deal. Manager Bill Terry wanted Pitcher Van Mungo from the Brooklyn Dodgers, but Van’s one-man insurrection last week precluded all hopes of his disposal. Terry also nibbled at Brooklyn's Lonny Frey, but couldn't meet Casey Stengel's demand for a hitting outfielder.

Rumors that the Cincinnati Reds were on the verge of trading their big right-hander, Paul Derringer, who manages keep in hot water with Vice President Larry McPhail and Cincinnati fans, to the New! York Giants in exchange for an outfielder proved groundless. . The Brooklyn Dodgers, badly in need of & hitting outfielder, were, not interested when the Red m ement offered Babe Herman in a cash deal. Spending money for a ball player is just one thing that’s never done by Flatbush. The American League-Leading New York Yankees strengthened their outfield for the long summer grind by acquiring Jake Powell from the Washington Senators in exchange for Ben Chapman, whose batting slump and recurrent charleyhorses endangered the Yankees’ pennant chances in the eyes of Manager Joe McCarthy.” Marse Joe also tried to sign another pitcher

Tom Yawkey’s last move to keep |
his Boston Red Sox in a position to challenge the - Yankees for the
championship was by purchasing
Pitcher Jack Russell from the Washington Senators. Both Yankees and Red Sox angled for Pitcher Jack Knott of the St. Louis Browns, but his past performances in no way warranted the $50,000 price tag Rogers Hornsby was understood to.have attached. - The third-place Detroit Tigers are in a bad way with Player-Manager Mickey Cochrane in the hospital and slugger Hank Greenberg possibly out for another month with his broken wrist. Irv Burns, whom the Tigers acquired from St. Louis, has filled the shoes of the slugging Greenberg. Campbell Ready to Go Cleveland’s erratic Indians were promised some “radical changes” by President Alva Bradley if they didn’t shake off their slump during the present home stand. Hal Trosky, Indian first baseman who is tied with - Jimmy Foxx for home run honors with 14, will be out of the game for a few days recovering from an: operation. Bright spot in the Cleveland picture was the return of Outfielder Bruce Campbell. Campbell has recovered fully from his recent and third attack of spinal meningitis and been pronounced fit to play. Manager Steve O’Neil be-

he was hitting 340 when stricken— will put Cleveland back into the pennant fight.
