Louis 6 To 1 Favorite
To Blot Out Schmeling
CHOCOLATE CHOPPER AND
PRIDE OF GERMANY ARE
READY FOR BIG BOUT TO
MORROW WHICH MEANS
CRACK AT THE HEAVY
WEIGHT TITLE FOR THE
WINNER.
NEW YORK. June 18 (TP)— If you
believe practically every fight expert
in the country, Max Schmeling is
due to hear the cradle song, “Sleep,
Baby, Sleep,” tomorrow.
The husky German who once held
the heavyweight title is given only an
Outside chance to win over the Choc
olate Chopper from Detroit, "Dead
pan Jce” Louis, at New York’s Yan
kee Stadium.
Louis, 22 years old and carrying
a keg of dynamite in each hand, is
on the way up. Schmeling, 30 years
old and never what could be called
a rig wonder, is definitely on the
downgrade.
According to most standards, Louis
should blot out the Black Uhlan to
morrow and hook up with Jim Brad
dock for the title sometime before the
snow flies.
Joe is a smashing hitter with eith
er hand. Ask Camera and Baer. Joe
is a smooth defensive fighter, and he’s
as cool as an iceberg.
Schmeling, never a classy scrapper,
used to have a solid right hand punch.
Max may still pack T. N. T. in his
good right first—but experts doubt it.
The German boy, always a stolid,
OMAHA BEATEN IN
ASCOT CUP RACE
QUASHED OUTLASTS DER
BY WINNER IN LAST
STRETCH DRIVE
ASCOT, England, June 18 (TP)
Lord Stanley's horse Quashed, won
the 125th running of the Ascot Gold
Cup today in a thrilling neck and
nrck finish with the Kentucky Derby
winner, Omaha.
Quashed and William Woodward’s
Omaha came out of the pack at the
last mile, with the English horse
driving a furious pace. More than
200,000 fashionably dressed people
watched breathlessly as the two
horses thundred down the last half
mile nose and note.
The French horse, Bokul, owned
by Baron De Rothschild, pounded in
third. Nine horses lined up at the
post for the 2 1-2 mile run over a
firm track. The winner got a purse
of about $25,000.
Whi.'e On aha failed to become the
second American horse to win the
Ascot Cup, he did pick up $3,500 in
second money. As the race was a
handicap it was not timed.

game fighter, is easy to hit. Louis,
with his piston-like jolts, seems just
the man to tag the slower German
whenever Max leaves an opening.
The records show Max never was
considered a top-notch heavy. He look
ed good in his early fights over here
and made a reputation by knocking
out Johnny Risko with one lucky wal
lop.
Max won the heavyweight title ly
ing on his back. That was the time
he won from Jack Sharkey on a foul.
Jack Sharkey won back the title —
via the decision route —a few months
later.
As for Louis, the Brown Bomber
never has been defeated as a profes
sional. He has won all of his 27
bouts —23 of them by knockcuts.
Louis is quoted at 5 or 6 to 1 to
beat Schmeling, and 2 to 1 to make
Maxie his tenth straight kayo vic
tim. Despite the apparent one-sided
ness of the match, some 65,000 fans
will pay $750,000 to get into Yankee
Stadium.
FIGHT RETURNS
AT AUDITORIUM
SCHMELING - LOUIS FIGHT
TO ATTRACT ATTENTION
OF SAVANNAHIANS
One of the most publicized fights
of the century between Joe Louis, the
erstwhile Brown Bomber and the
beetle browed Teuton, Max Schmel
ing, will be broadcast tomorow at the
Municipal Auditorium. The out
come of the match will mark an
eventful day in ring history when
the winner steps out of the ring to
receive the plaudits of the crowd,
meaning that a shot at the crown
worn by Jimmy Braddock will be the
next stake.
Although Louis is a heavy favorite,
Schmeling is expected to give the
ebony hued battler the hardest fight
in his ring history. Critics having
acclaimed that the German has not
been awed by the highly touted ring
prowess of Louis, should prove to the
many fight lovers of the nation, that
Schmeling will enter the ring not a
cowed battler. •
The fight returns will start at 9
p.m. and the public is cordially re
quested to come early and get good
seats. Only white persons will be
admitted and no admission will be
charged.

TUNNEYS WELCOME
A BLESSED EVENT
FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPION IS FATHER
OF NEW SON
NEW YORK. June 18 (TP)—Gene
Tunney is celebrating the arrival of
another son today.
The former heavyweight champion
dashed out of the Hotel Pierre this
morning and rushed to the medical
center, where the baby was born.
Both Mrs. Tunney—the former Polly
Lauder —and the child are reported
doing well. The Tunneys now hav?
three boys. Gene said a month ago
that he sort of wishes this one would
be a girl, but he changed his mind
at the last minute and everybody is
satisfied.
Tunney married the heiress, Polly
Lauder, in 1928 after rising from the
ranks of the marine corps to world
wide fame in the prize ring. Tunney
and his family live quietly at a Con
necticut estate, where the former
heavyweight champion does a lot of
writing and reading and corresponds
with his close friend, George Bernard
Shaw.

Indians To Entertain
Tars Tonight Then
Journey To Florida
Not being content with the split
double-header with the Columbia
Senators yesterday, the Savanah In
dians wil resume their diamond war
fare with the Jacksonville Tars to
night in a game which will have the
baseball critics of the Sally League
watching with interest.
Losing three straight games to the
Indians in their last series, the Tars
have been playing in Augusta for
the last three days, where at the ex
pense of the Tigers, they moved back
into the league leadership. Only a
one game stand will mark the stay
of the Tars here, and Manager Bobby
Lamotte is optimistic that the Tribe
will take up where they left of on
the highly touted basebal Idarlings of
the Floridans.
After tonights game, the Indians
will entrain for the home grounds of
the Tars where they will open a four
game series with the aggregation un
der Babe Ganzel. Their next and
last home engagement of the first
alf will open Thursday when Macon
will come here for a four-game series.
Split With Senators
The winning by the Savannah In
dians over the Columbia Senators in
ther first game of a scheduled double
header, 6-2, proved to be a boomer
ang forte locals for in the night-cap
last night, the Senators fell to with
a vengeance and wiped the Tribe out.
8 to 4.
Kasky, the righthander who is
rapidly forging to the front in the
ranks of the Indian moundsmen, had
the Senators eating of his hand
yesterday afternoon. Although allow
ing 11 hits, the canny hurler placed
them well, and was in very few dan
gerous scoring positions. Columbia
started the scoring In the third in
ning when they scored as a result of
a single by Bloodworth clouting a
single and then coming in when Gul
ian drove him in with a long outfiled
fly. The Indians retaliated, however,
in their half of this stanza when
Lunak slapped a double to score both
Kasky and Elliott who were on the
paths as results of singles through
the infield. Lunak and Linville both
got on base as results of singles. Wil
liams, the third sacker for the Tribe
then caught afast one to is liking
and sent it to the right field wooden
bleachers for a triple scoring both
Lv.nak and Linville. Coming in him
self on the next play on a high out
field fly by Hilcher, this concluded
the merry-go-round for the inning.
The Senators scored their only other
run in the seventh when Martin
scored Terhune for the last tally.
Other than one more run being add
ed to the column of the Indians, this
concluded the scoring for the first
game.
Senators “On Spree”
The night-cap was a scoring spree
for the Senators when they got to
the slants of Bob Harris for a bar
rage of runs in the sixth inning to
more than ■ win the game. Seven
runs clossed the platter to cinch the
set-to. The two run lead built up by
the Tribe in the third stanza looked
big enough until the big' guns of the
Carolinans got to work.
Javet scored Martin for the first
tally, doubling to deep right center.
Spurlin then hit a hot liner scoring
Javet. The tense moment of the
game came and left as Hickle the
Senator hurler put a homer into the
left fiel dbleachers to score Linville
and Parker. Linville then played the
hooter’s role when throug his sole
errors, he was responsible for Blood
worth scoring as McQualg pulled up
safe on second throug a brace of

errors. The last run for the Colum
biarls came when McQualg scored
on a crashing single by Martin.
The Indians came through with a
pair of runs in the eighth, but the
game was over because of the fast
lead pulled by the Columbia aggrega
tion in the fatal sixth.
