$800,000 Gate Assured for
Fans Wonder if Schmeling’s Iron Nerve Will Crack : as- Scrap Nears.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 17—A situation without parallel in boxing annals existed today on the eve of the international heavyweight bout between Joe Louis, Detroit's dark destroyer, and Max Schmeling, exchampion from Germany. : A gross gate of $300,000 or more is assured for a match in which the winner is a virtual cinch — Louis. It will be the biggest gate in history for a “sure thing” match. Louis, with his dynamite fists cocked for his tenth straight knockout, ruled an 8-1 betting favorite. The Brown Bomber may be the shortest-priced favorite in history when they enter the ring at Yankee Stadium tomorrow night at 10 p. m. (E. D. T.) for their scheduled 15-round bout. (8 p. m. Indianapolis time). As thousands of visitors poured into the city from all sections of the country and workmen put the finishing touches on “the bowl
major questions occupied the attention of fight fans. They were: 1. How much will it draw? 2. Will Schmeling become terrorstricken before he enters the ring? 3. In what round will Louis knock out the German?
“Cheap” Seatfs on Sale Only Mike Jacobs, Twentieth Century Club promoter, is in a position to safely predict what the bout will draw. “Uncle Mike” yes-
| terday offered to wager $1500 at 3 § | to 1 that tie bout draws more than $800,000, answering rumors. that the
sale had slowed .down to a whisper. Although he remains secretive about where the advance sale stands, Jacobs clings to his original prediction, voiced when the match was made, that it will draw $1,000,000 Most guesses place the advance sale
=| at $650,000.
More than 25,000 *“cheap” seats were placed on sale at the Hippodrome Theater today=-5000 of them “bonus specials” for the World War
and 10,000 at $3.45. Business was brisk in these lower priced tickes. Most of the $40 ringside seats have been sold, and choice locations which have fallen into the hands of speculators were being guioted at $75 to $100.
Weigh-In Should Be Dramatic
Whereas most of the experts who followed. Schmeling in his six-week trajning grind at Napanoch, N. Y., believe the beetle-browed German will meet defeat, they are almost unanimous in their belief that he will put up a courageous battle as long as he lasts. Of course; Schmeling’s iron nerve may crack as the zero hour nears, just as Max Baer, Primo Qarnera, King Levinsky, Paulino Uzcudun and the others lost their courage before going into the ring. Promoter Mike Jacobs overlooked a possible $30,000 house by not charging $5 a seat for the:weigh-ing-in ceremony at the Hippodrome tomorrow noon. What happens when Schmeling comes. in to face Louis at the scales may be almost as dramatic as what takes place in the ring at Yankee Stadium that night. Louis Can Be Hit How long will the bout last? Some experts think Louis can name the minute, the punch, and the round. That seems a little farfetched and is doubtless the fantastic idea of the same crowd that thought Baer was a 10-1 favorite over Braddock, that Dempsey would annihilate Tunney, that Jimmy McLarnin would K. O. ‘Tony Canzoneri. Louis is quite likely to perform ‘the same neat, workmanlike job he did on Carnera and Baer. It might take him longer on Schmeling, who is a better fighter than Carnera and has more heart than Baer. Schmeling has one dangerous weapon—a
and he may do some damage with Louis can be hit the same as any other fighter, The long training grind ended today for both battlers—Schmeling at Napanoch and Louis. at Lakewood, N. J. Schmeling drew blood from the nose of one sparring partner. Louis had three of his sparmen bleeding. Both fighters will wait until the last hour to come to the scene of the battle—Louis by train and Schmeling by car.

Hoosiers Slip Back to Sixth
in Close Race
Loss to Millers Comes as Heavy Blow; Two Tilts Carded Tonight.
The Indians picked out a bad time to finish on the short end. While the Tribesters were being kicked -aroynd by the champion Minneapolis Millers last night the Columbus Red Birds and St. Paul Saints salted away victories and as a result the Hoosiers fell from fourth place to sixth in the league standing. And the Bushmen handed the Tribesters a sound thumping, 9-2. Two more tilts remain in the series and the contests will be played off in a twilight-moonlizht double bill this evening, with the first battle at 5 o'clock and the second at 8:15. It is a regular “ladies’ day’ at Perry Stadium.
Blues Slip to Third
Minneapolis moved into second place by trouncing the Redskins as Columbus annexed both ends of a double-header from Kansas City, The Blues slipped back to third, Columbus gained the fourth spof and St. Paul fifth. The A. A. race is too tight for comfort. Bob Logan is slated to take the mound for the home nine in the twilight encounter today and Vance Page is on deck to hurl the night affair. Both have been going in sensational fashion and two harde fought games are expected to result as the Millers wind up their visit. ; The Indians are to leave on a short road trip tomorrow, playing in Columbus tomorrow night, Sature day afternoon and on the afternoon of the Sabbath. The Redskins will return to the Stadium Monday to take on the Toledo Mud Hens. Jim Turner opened on the Tribe mound last night and whatever Le was pitching was duck soup for the Millers. They straightened him out in no time. As a matter of fact the Bushmen picked on Jim’s first pitches and went to town. He was bombarded for six hits in one and one-third innings, and when it was evident that the visitors wer well on the way to a parade, Jimmy Sharp, rookie redhead, was sent in.
Breeze for Tauscher
The youngster received poor supe port and was removed for a pinchhitter in the eighth, allowing Paul Trout to finish. Minneapolis collected 15 hits and the Indians were held to seven by Walter Tauscher. It was just a breeze for the Minne-
was the only time the Hoosiers looked really dangerous. Vincent Sherlock got three of the Tribe's seven blows and Oscar Eckhardt weighed in with two and pushed his batting average to .347, Andy Cohen paced the Millers with two doubles and a single, with five runs batted in. Tauscher also solved Tribe pitching for three safeties. It wasn’t the Indians’ night, and in addition to being off stride at the plate they committed five errors, two coming on one play, by Bluege. And so it came to pass that the Hoosiers’ winning streak was snapped at six straight.
