It didn't last very long, though, and most of the other .portions of the trip found me in cross winds or with winds against me. Hopes to Make Return In 14 Hours "I expect to do a little better on theway back. I hope to make it in 14 hours if I get a break.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer YANKEE STADIUM, New York., June 27. (AP) The rising might of Max SchmeV ing swept tonight over the rock ribbed figure of Paulino Uzcudun, and left the sturdy basque a punch battered wreck along his path to the world heavyweight champion ship. For 15 rounds, before a crowd of 45,000 that half filled the big American league ball park, the flashing young Teuton cut and slashed at Paulino's head and body, bulled and chased him about the ring and left him at the end a gory, shattered figure with nothing but courage. There were no knockdowns, but the lifting of Schmeling's hand in signal of victory at the close was just a gesture. For the last six rounds, toe only question in the minds of the faithful who gathered for the first heavyweight extravaganza of tbo open air season, was Paulino's ability to weather the torm of leather that flew at him from all angles, slashed his features, dw ell his left eye, and left the wood chopper's face as bumpy and Irreg ular as his own Pyrennes in Spain. Only in the early rounds was there a semblance of a contest ana a slow one at that, as the Teuton, sticking to a methodical battle plan, met Paulino's rushes wltn straight lefts to the head usually hidden behind a barrage of gloves and elbows. The stumpy Spaniard stalked forward, body bent, peer ing through his shaggy brows, and waited for the opening in Schmel ing's defense that never came. (Turn to Page 1, Column 1.)
