GERMAN SAYS
MAX IS CONFIDENT, DETERMINED
HE IS AT PEAK
ndianapolis Times Sports
AN infinitely confident, determined Max Schmeling is to be witnessed at Speculator, N. Y., in training moves for his heavyweight titular engagement with Champion Joe Louis at the Yankee Stadium, New York, on June 22. Schmeling does not state that he will regain the title by repeating his knockout victory over Louis of two years ago, but he makes no secret of the fact that he believes himself capable of turning back the Brown Bomber. “Right now I believe I am at the very peak of my career,” Max told interviewers the other day. “I feel certain that on the night of June 22 I'll be able to provide my oreatest ring effort and, having beaten Louis once, 1 can see no reason why I shouldn’t have supreme confidence in winning again. Of course, this time there’s the added incentive of annexing the world heavyweight title.”

BSERVERS at Speculator concur with the opinion of Schmeling and his retinue that he will enter the ring in superb condition. . . . The former heavyweight champion inaugurated his fifth training period within a year two weeks ago and in his initial glove jousts revealed unusual speed, punching prowess and boxing skill. Following his most recent training camp boxing session Schmeling weighed slightly under 196 pounds and it is expected that he will register at 195 on the official scales on the afternoon of June 22.

ENE TUNNEY, who renounced all ties to boxing after knocking out Tom Heeney in 1928, gradually has been moving closer to the
game. . . .
A spectator at many recent fights and a visitor to Max
Schmeling’s camp before the Harry Thomas bout, Gene also has gone to the trouble of offering suggestions to Joe Louis on ways and means to combat his weaknesses for the coming fight with Schmeling. While Louis was engaged in light preliminary training at Lafayette-
ville, N. Y., last month Tunney visited him. .
. . Gene and Joe watched
moving pictures of the first Louis-Schmeling bout, the film being
halted to give the ex-champ a chance to explain Joe's errors.

the unreeling of the pictures Gene gave Louis a practical lesson in
tactics.

ERMAN FISHMAN, Michigan's stocky lefthanded pitcher, wound up his varsity career in perfect fashion as he won his four clos-
ing games without allowing an earned run. . . .
He defeated Ohio
State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Michigan State in order, Wisconsin scoring the only run in the four games and that on an error. Fishman'’s finish was paralleled by the Michigan team which won 10 of its last 15 games after a shaky start, and climaxed its season by handing the University of California an 8-to-6 defeat at Ann Arbor. Walter Peckinpaugh, Cleveland, has been named to captain Michi-
gan’'s 1939 team. .

Peckinpaugh, former major league star and one-time manager of the
Cleveland Americans.

That's usually enough to make Perry Stadium shake with strife,
and since the Indians scored a | | with the Cubs battling the Giants
grand slam on the Bushmen in their first 1938 visit to the Tribe park in April the current series
probably will produce some sizzling competition. The Millers are booked here for three tilts, tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday night, after which the Redskins will hit the road for a couple of weeks. The Indians saw their league lead trimmed to one game over the Kansas City Blues last night, but they still are three games ahead of the third-place Millers who lost | at Louisville. Lloyd Johnson, willowy lefthander, is slated to draw the Tribe mound assignment against Minneapolis in the series opener.
Three Leaders Lose
Kansas City was the lone member of the American Association's first division to gain ground yesterdav as the Indians, Millers and Mud Hens bowed to opponents. Catcher Eldon Breese of the Blues was the only one of the seven players stricken with ptomaine able to return to the lineup at Toledo
| but this did not stop the Kansas
City club from producing the heaviest hitting attack of the season. Kemp Wicker, a left hander, won his third straight victory and every member of the team made at least one hit as the Blues took a 14-3 revenge for the double defeat on the previous day St. Paul stole Indianapolis’ thunder and raliled for two runs in the ninth and won, 5 to 4. With the contest 4 to 3 in the Tribe's favor going into the ninth Red Phillips walked John Pasek on four straight pitches. It was Red’s only free ticket of the game and jinxed his efforts. Landrum’s single put Pasek on second and Anton took Pasek’s place on the paths. Phillips
| steadied and struck out both Her-
ring and York, but Bejma slammed a double to left and Anton and Landrum tallied. Stumpf lined to Chapman for the third out. Pilney got on base for the Indians in the ninth after one down, but was left as Sherlock and Fausett were erased by the sky route.
Pitcher Slams Homer
After the Indians gained a one-
| run lead in the first stanza, Phillips
made the mistake of grooving a
| fast one for pitcher Art Herring in | the third and the Apostle chucker

lined the pill over the left-field wall for a home run. In the fourth loose defensive play by Latshaw and Mesner gummed up the works and two doubles got the Apostles two markers. Mesner’s home run inside the park to right

its half of the fourth and in the sixth the Redskins knotted the score at 3 and 3 on Fausett’s triple and McCormick's single. The Indians muffed a chance for a big inning in the seventh when they left three runners stranded after scoring once on a double by Latshaw and three singles. However, two of the singles were of the infield variety and the long hit in the pinch was absent. Pilney collected three safeties for the Indians but had a tough time with ground balls batted to his territory. Sherlock’s batting slump
| continued last night and he has
been at bat 15 times without finding a safe spot.
New Player Due
Milton Galatzer, veteran outfielder obtained from Los Angeles, is due to reach Indianapolis today or tomorrow. Inmon Blackaby, Butler University star, worked out with the Redin The Tribe regulars sized him up as “pretty fair
| but a little wild.”
The collegian will be given further
| tryouts and if he shows the ear-
marks of a leaguer efforts will be made to farm him out in the little minors. It was ladies’ night at the sta-
| dium in the series finale with St. | Paul and total attendance was 3317 | with more men than women on
hand. Next ladies’ night will be tomorrow in the second of the series
| with the Millers.
One Bout Unfilled On Boxing Program
Only one bout, a four-round curtain raiser, remains to be arranged for the outdoor fight program at the Sports Aiena Thursday night. The “ladies’ night” bill will be featured by a 10-round bout between Elza Thompson, local Negro heavyweight and former Golden Gloves champion, and Ray Lowder, 205peund Columbus, O., battler. Thompson is expected to weigh in at arcund 215 pounds. Two Negro welterweights, Everett Vandeveer of Indianapolis and Ross White of Tichmond, have been matched in a six-rounder. In other bouts Harry Brown, hard-punching Beech Grove middleweight, faces Jimmy Tudor, local Negro, and Walter Johnson, Indianapolis lightweight, meets Douglas Swartz of Montezuma.

Melton and Lee Opposing Hurlers; New York Lands Alex Kampouris. |
By GEORGE KIRKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, June 7.—One of the oldest and bitterest feuds in the National League was renewed today
at Wrigley Field, Chicago, for the league lead. Cubs against Giants in a dog-eat-dog battle brings back memories of many raging diamond skirmishes— with John J. McGraw matching wits against Frank Chance, the peerless leader; playoff games with the title in the balance, and great pitching duels with Christy Mathewson and Mordecai Brown, among others, | making mound history. | As the clubs’ moved into action today the Cubs held a .002 percentage lead, having moved to the top two days ago in a sustained drive which came simultaneously with a long Giant losing streak. Until the Giants hit this rough passage in which they lost six straight, they had held the league lead continuously since opening day. Opposing moundsmen today were Cliff Melton, the mountain music boy of the Giants’ staff with a record of seven victories and two defeats, and Big Bill Lee, Cubs’ righthander who has pitched three consecutive shutouts and allowed only one run in the last 46 innings.
Demaree Leads Attack The Cubs held their lead yester-
over the Phillies. Belting Bucky Walters and Pete Sivess for all their runs in the first four innings, the Cubs staved off late rallies by the Phils. Frank Demaree led the Cubs’ 12-hit atack with three singles. Whitney and Mueller hit homers for the Phils. Chuck Klein of the Phillies crashed into the fence in an attempt to snag a fly and had to leave the game. : Breaking their six-game losing streak the Giants triumphed over Cincinnati, 11-2. Johnny McCarthy came out of a prolonged slump with three singles and a double, driving in four runs. Hal Schumacher kept the Reds’ eight hits scattered. In addition to beating the Reds, the Giants left town with second baseman Alex Kampouris to plug their leaking infield gap. The Giants gave outfielder Wally Berger for the little Greek infielder, who always has played his best at the Polo Grounds. Brooklyn won from Pittsburgh, 9-4, by scoring seven runs in a firstinning salvo, and the Cardinals triumphed over the Bees, 11-2, with little Roy Henshaw, the pitcher they had to take on a ruling by Commissioner Landis, allowing only six hits. Joe Medwick had a perfect day. Cleveland Falls Back The Yankees clipped a game off Cleveland's American League lead by coming from behind to trim the Browns, 6-5, while Cleveland lost an ll-inning game to Washington, 5-4. After spotting the Browns five runs the Yankees came back to pull the game out of the fire when Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 8, with a mate on base, and Frankie Crosetti banged out the game-winning single in the eighth. After staging a three-run rally in the ninth to tie the score Cleveland succumbed to the Senators in the 11th when Zeke Bonura's dou-

Cherry Hills Deep Rough Big , Obstacle
Irons Sharpened as Golfers Prepare for Start of Open Thursday.
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor
DENVER, June 7.--The emory wheel in Harold Long's pro shop was worked overtime today as America’s ace golfers sharpened their implements of links warfare before starting the next-to-last day of heavy practice for the National Open Golf Championship, The 42d annual open may be decided by the keenness of a pitche ing iron. This is because the Cherry Hills course where the na=
tional will be played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, places a premium on straight tee shots. So, when a drive is sent off line, the player will find himself in deep rough and the smart way to get out is to use a pitching implement with enough of a razor edge to cut through the Colorado clover and sky the ball to the tiny green. Frank Walsh, who has played in every open for the past decade, was a good, average example of the play= er who was sharpening his irons. “I'm carrying no fewer than three dynamiters,” Walsh said today, “And to do this I am putting only, two woods in my bag. They'll be a driver and a No. 3 wood (a spoon), You watch the other bags and you'll find the boys are carrying three woods at the very most. Some won't even use a driver, They'll use a brassie or a spoon off the tees and use their irons the rest of the way.” Most discussed hole of the Cherry Hills layout which is set near the snow-clad Rocky Mountains, was No. 17, a five-year item of 545 yards, This hole, according to Walsh, is the toughest five-par hole for a national in the last 10 years, It has an island green.
Held Disqualified, Admits Error
DENVER, June 7 (U. P.) .—Eddie Held, one of the nation’s top ranke ing amateurs who was disqualified yesterday from competing in the National Open Golf Tournament, said today that “I violated a rule that I should have known.” In qualifying rounds over Denver Country Club course, the young Denver bond salesman lost his ball in the deep rough. To ex«pedite play Held fired a provisional ball, A few seconds later his caddy found the original ball and Held played it, the remainder of the distance. According to United States Golf Association rules, Held should have continued using the provisional ball, taking the lost ball penalty of ore stroke,
