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.

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.

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.

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 Fight Returns Will Be Given Tomorrow Night FRIDAY June 19 Due To Rain SEE STORY ON PAGE ONE errors. The last run for the Colum biarls came when McQualg scored on a crashing single by Martin.
