Schmeling j Pounded to Pulp
By Slugging Menace of
Heavyweight Ranks
By EDWARD J. NEIL -YANKEE
STADIUM, New York,
June 8. (AP) A roaring, rol-r
licking, punching young demon
from California, brawny, hand
some Max Baer, came out of the
far west with the charge of an
other Jack Dempsey tonight to
smash down Max Schmeling,
former heavyweight champion of
the world, in 10 rounds before a
thunderstruck crowd of 65,000.
From the state that sent Demp
sey himself east, and Jim Corbett
and Jim Jeffries before him, the
curly-headed butcher boy of Liv
ermore came to outclass the dog
ged Schmeling from the start,
smash him groggy in the ninth,
then , with such savagery as the
ring hasn't seen since the depart
ure of the Old Man Mauler, crush
the Teuton in the tenth.
It was one of the greatest up
sets that the modern ring has
seen as Schmeling. favorite at as
high as 3 to 1, before the battle
started, never had a chance once
the opening bell sounded.
The short, crushing right hand
punches that knocked out Johnny
Risko. Mickey Walker and Young
Stribling, bounced off Baer's wide
grinning' countenance as if the
German ' was punching a brick
wall.
Poundage and Reach
AH Favor Californian
Through the first three rounds
the huge Baer, with 13 pounds
of weight in his favor, and inches
in height and reach, tossed
Schmeling around the ring, whip
ped left hooks to the body, bang
ing rights to the head, laughing
at the German's punches.
Pioi- aasmoH tn hide his time
until the ninth, when he caught
Schmeling full on the side of the
head with one of the terrific right
crosses that had been shaking the
German from the first punch on.
Casually the tremendously muscl
ed Baer moved in and belted
Schmeling again.
As Schmeling, swelling about
the eyes, faltered into the ropes,
Baer geemed to sense that the end
of the battle was near. He tore
in. caught the stolid Teuton in a
corner and whaled away with
both hands. The gong sounded,
Baer kept punching. Schmeling
tottered a bit. As he started for
his corner, he waved a befuddled
protest to Referee Arthur Dono
van. Too badly hurt to recover in
the short minute rest, Schmeling
shuffled out for the tenth, a mark
for the terrific blasts Baer loos
ed. Teeth bared in a snarl, body
hunched over and swaying to give
momentum to each punch, the
curly thatched Californian smash
ed Schmellng's head with one ter
rific wallop after another.
The crowd, sensing the advent
of a new punching menace to all
the heavyweights, screamed as
Schmeling tottered. The German's
defense slowly sank, his. knees
bent, and Baer leaned into him
with' one final crushing right to
the jaw.
Schmeling Gets Up j
Bat is Helpless
Schmeling went to the floor la
a sprawl and the roaring of the
crowd was bo great that Referee
Donovan could only read the
knock-down timekeeper'B lips as
he tolled off the seconds.
Somehow, Schmeling, eyes
glazed and sightless, arms help
less at his sj.de. raised himself to
his teet at the count of nine. Baer
stormed in upon him again, his
shots thudding into Schmeling's
helpless body. There was only one
volley, and Referee Donovan

Gus Sonnenberg, the man

today, is going to show how he

Harry Plant, local matchmaker.
Sonnenberg will meet Ted Thye in
the main event of next Tuesday's

As Sonnenberg himself tells It,
he found himself in the profes
sional wrestling ring almost by
accident several years ago with
the purpose of fulfilling a rash
dare. Knowing nothing of wrestl
ing, he had bragged that he could
defeat a big rough fellow he hap
pened to see on the mat. Because
of his football fame, the dare was
taken up, much to his surprise.
Finding himself in the ring, he
did the only thing he could think
of; made a dive at the enemy, as
he had been taught on the grid
iron, and to his own surprise,
crashed his adversary to the mat

all wrestling fans know, to reach

there is any agreement on a

Record Smashing 68 Gives
Him 5-Stroke Lead on
Bunched Rivals
NORTH SHORE GOLF CLUB,
Glenvlew, 111., June 8 (AP)
The battle scarred black scot of
golf, Tommy Armour of Chicago,
ripped an otherwise close fight
for the United States open golf
championship wide apart today
with a record smashing 68, four
under par.
This blistering performance un
der windy conditions that harass
ed all his rivals gave Armour a
five stroke lead over the field and
quickly established him an odds
on favorite to take the national
crown away from Gene Sarazen,
who was six strokes behind, with
a 74, after the first 18 holes of
the 72 hole championship fight.
The black scot gave his great
est shot making exhibition since
he won the open title for the first
and only time In 1927. Instead of
cracking under the strain of over
hauling the leaders, with a gallery
of 4,000 in wild pursuit. Armour
coolly shot down all obstacles and
reached the climax when he holed
a mashie niblick shot from 4 5
yards off the 17th green for his
fifth birdie.
Tommy clipped a stroke off the
North Shore record of 69, made
in 1928 by Abe Espinosa in the
western open tournament when
the course was 300 yards shorter
andL lers severely trapped. His
five stroke lead over a bracket of
six rivals, including the veteran
Walter Hagen. all of whom lost
chances to equal or break car.
represented the biggest lead any
competitor has ever had after the
first round of the national open.

five men who oppose free bU3

Sports Year
Good One at
Dallas High
DALLAS, June 8 Coaches and
athletes of the Dallas high school
can look back on the past school
year with a great deal of pride as
it proved to be a banner year in
athletics. The boys of the school
swept the county athletic events
by taking all five county titles, in
football, basketball, baseball,
track, and tennis.
In football, the locals supported
the orange and the black in eight
games, winning seven of these.
They held their opponents score
less In all of the seven games they
won, and scored 99 points to their
opponents 19. In winning the
county title from Independence,
Dallas broke a jinx of long stand
ing by the overwhelming score of
22 to 0. Dallas will lose eight of
her 1932 team by graduation with
B. Cadle, D. Cadle. Lewis, E.
Hockett, Laing, Peters, Retzer,
and Senter leaving the squad.
The local B squad, coached by
Robert Kutch, played four games
during the season, winning one,
tying two and losing one.
Dallas high's basketball quint
not only won 16 out of 27 games
played but broke another jinx In
the county tournament to win the
championship without meeting a
single defeat at the meet. In pre
vious years the county champion
has been defeated once during the
tourney making it necessary to
play an additional game. In ad
dition to winning the county cup,
the locals went down fighting for
the district championship when
Corvallis beat them 16 to 14 in
an overtime game.
Coach Shreeve will lose five of
this year's squad with LeFors,
Lewis, B. Cadle, and Bollman
graduating, and Robinson exceed-
ng tne age limit lor next year.
LeFors was high scorer for tire
team this year with 218 points
with Lewis in second place with
141. This was the second straight
year the locals had won the coun
ty championship and had played
in the finals of the district meet.
Shreeve's baseball artists won
their second consecutive cham
pionship by taking five out of six
games played. The baseball sched
ule was confined to the county
league. Six regulars will be lost
for next year with Holden. Laing,
LeFors, Lewis, Woods and Peters
graduating.
The track team, coached by
Kutch, won the county meet for
the fourth straight year and start
ed out to equal the record of its
ancient rival. Independence, of
seven straight county track cham
pionships. Independence had held
full sway in track until the second
year Dave Wright coached here in
1930 when Dallas finally broke
the jinx. Dallas also placed in
several other meets during the
year.
Tennis players made a clean
sweep of all their matches this
year to win the county title for
the third consecutive time. This
gives Dallas permanent possession
of the county cup.
WINE BE LEGALIZED
WASHINGTON. June 8. ( AP)
A house committee today heard
A. V. Dalrymple, the head of fed
eral prohibition forces, ask legal
ization of 11 per cent wine on the
ground that it would increase re
spect for the 18th amendment,
and expressed the hope the
amendment would remain in the
constitution.
The appeal brought the- obser
vation from Chairman Doughton
that "I think I'll call the ways
and means committee to meet in
a couple of days to act on the
bill."
Doughton declined to predict
the result of that meeting or to
lay how much he thought the
committee's decision might be in
fluenced by Dalrymple's state
ment that the manufacture and
sale of 3.2 beer was driving boot
leggers out of business.
The bill before the committee
written by Representative Lea.
(D., CaL), would legalize the pub
lie sale in eating houses and
with bonaflde meals of "natur
ally fermented" wines which, un
der the Volstead act, now can be
made in the home.
