The fans honed for something- bet ter than Sharkey's battle two years ago, when he hit low and sent the title to Germany. It appeared that BO.IXK) of tbem would turn out for tonight's affair, paying from $2 to $23 for the privilege. They'll be packed into the New Long island sports stadium. For Schmeling. the show will be his second defense of his title; for Sharkey, It is ballyhooed as a last stand," Sharkey always has been a ques tion mark. There Is no middle course, He Is either very good or very bad. If he is right tonight, the "German Dempsey" may lose the most coveted of all ring titles. No Cheese Champ Schmeling is as confident aa Shar key, anxious to convince fans he fa not a "cheese champion." He prov ed that to a few when he knocked out William Stribling, Jr., last sum mer. But there are many who hold that Scbmeline is champion because he was fouled. The German Is a slight favorite, netting commissioners giving him a to 4 edge. Jack Doyle, one of Broadway'a leading commissioners, said there was little possibility of even money. He said the men with the big money were backing Schmel ing to the limit. . Sharkey fa expected to have at least a 10-pound weight advantage. He expects to weigh 203 pounds while Schmeling probably will acale about 101. Schmeling has the ad vantage In years. He is 20, while Sharkey is 29. President William F. Carey of Madison Square Garden announced he expected a totnl gate of between 3ftn.00fl and $440,000.

N. Y .Tune 21. (U.R) California's great varsity crew today was established as America s probable representative in tlm Olym nic iramrs nt Los Ancles as result of its great victory in the Pouabkeepsie regatta. Conch Ky Kbright's second "wonder crew" spread-enL'led the field of eight in yesterday's 3(itli annual classic, and became odds-ou favorites to win the Olympic assignment in eliminations at Worcester, Mass., next month. An ordinary victory would not have made the t. olden Bears favorites to rate the Olympic. Yesterday, how ever, California was the winner, not only after the four-mile grind from Krum F.lbow to Blue point, but had helf a commanding lead after the first mile and increased it almost at will. Real Place Scrap The real battle yesterday was the fight for second place between Cor nell's Big Ked crew and the Huskies of the University of Washington. Both their crews knew, after two miles, that nt least two California oarsmen would have to break orms or legs to keep the Benrs from winning. So Cornell and Washington settled down to one of the grandest scraps fr place position in Poughkecpsie history. And Cornell won it. Coach Jim Wra.v's lJig Red eight was a none-too-good sixth at one and a half miles. Washington was in sec- j ond place, two lengths behind Cali fornia. The two-mile mark reached, Cornell had pushed up into fourth : place place with Washington, rowing: a steady 30, holding firmly to second. : At two and one-half miles Wash ington was still second but scarcely half a dozen feet separated the Husk ies from Cornell. Here the Ithacnns jacked up their bent, captured second place, as they passed the three mile mark and with an ever-Increasing stroke held thnt position to tho end. : Syracuse took fifth, slightly behind Navy and Columbia's little regarded ' crew finished sixth. Pennsylvania was j seventh, and Massachusetts Tech, 25 lengths behind California, in eighth and last place. If California had been pressed It might have approximated the record time of IS minutes, 35 and 4-5 sec onds made by the Bears in 1028. California's time yesterday was 10:55. ,5-4 THURSTON, June 20.

Willi the k UHOii well uust the one-third post, the Sx have won just 11 contests aguinst -17 defeats for a percentage of ,I!HJ in the American j league. Back in 1-S1HJ a Cleveland cluti of the old National league won only 20 games while losing 134. The ox might not equal Hint niiiru, nut they should have little difficulty bet tering the next lowest record of 3(t won and Hi lost set by the Philadel phia Americans in IDltt. It's too bad the Boston funs haven't the same sense of humor possessed bv the students and alumui of little Hobart college. Hobart lost 25 straight football games and won na tional recognition by so doing. Finally winnint? the twentv-sixth came, the college put on a ceklratiou that lasted for three days. Think what a celebration Boston could stage when and if the Sox win a game. Somebody has suggested to Chappie King, Townle manager, that he stage a baseball throw ing contest for the fans in one -of the home games. Chappie is thinking of putting on such a con test. All ball' players will be barred and the fans will be in vited to come down out of the stands and compete with eaoh other for prizes. Sounds like an interesting proposition and cer tainly he jhould encounter no difficulty getting people to turn out for It. "We don't get the type of men In the east that the coast universities depend on for athletic supremacy," said Busty Callow, Pennsylvania crew coach, on a visit to his old home in Washington n couple of years ago. The showing of his Peiiu team in Monday's Poughkeepsie Begat tit seems to benr that out. The University of Pennsylvania is a wealthy school, and Callow's athletes, for the most part, lead a comparatively soft life. This tells on them when it comes to con ditioning for a four-mile race. " Rusty was born near Slielton. Wash., in the same neck of the woods in which this department first saw the light of day. We used to throw rocka at the Callow boys on their way to school, though we were at that time of very tender age, and they would repay that pleasantry by offering us oil-day-suckers flavored with red pepper. Rusty turned Into one of the . greatest oarsmen Washington ever turned out and his record as coach was equally brilliant. Going east to take over the Penn crew, he found conditions dif ferent, however. Whereas on the coast, most of the athletes work during the summer In the logging camps, on the roads, or on other hard jobs, the Penn athlete spends his summer In travel or in a s u mm or camp. This, you understand. Is no indict ment of the eastern athlete. It's just his good fortune. But his muscles are not conditioned to tho hard grind and he finds It a bit difficult to com nnfte with the huskv Washington. Oregon or California boy when ft comes to the type of sport exem plified by the four-mile crew race. Superb conditioning that's the secret of the const athlete's suc cess, and it's usually due to the fnct thnt he has to work for a living and keep in shnne whether he likes it or not. But his luckier and wealthier eastern brother is "out of luck" when it comes to playing agninst him.

(U.R) A nat lent study of the world almanac has revealed that Chicago is approxi mately 1KH miles from New York city. I rate this a fine break Indeed. For New York city is ten miles from Madison Square Uurdeu's hle-in-the-ground where those two stal wart box fighters, Max Schiueliug and Jack Sharkey meet tonight for the heavyweight championship.. Now if Chicago is 1K)1 miles from New York, and New York is ten miles this Hide of the hole-in-the-grouml, it is no great task to figure out that Chicago is iU miles from the hole-iu-the-ground. Jn short, sum and toto, I being in Chicago, n m U1U miles from the hole-in-the-ground, I consider this a safe distance, not as safe, mind, you, us Seattle, which is 3,107 miles but safe enough. Already this DID miles has proved a blessing. Just think of what it has spared me! I cun nick up a newspaper and not Ite smacked in the face with the following items: 1.

This is a fair question, and here is our reply: A marvelous new testing machine, recendy devel oped, scientifically proves that these blades have never before been approached in keenness. fact We know we are right and can prove it Further than this everyone knows that a razor blade must be able to bend without cracking when tightened in the holder. This requires steel of a certain temper not suitable for a keen cutting edge. The problem is to permit flexing and yet have a hard edge that can be ground and stropped for proper shaving performance. Gillette has achieved the solution of this prob lem in the manufacture of its slotted blades These blades are made by a special tem pering process that makes the edges exception ally hard, while the center, of a different temper, flexes easily. We cannot discuss the nature machine because it is being patented. But we can tell you that it meas ures microscopic dimen ' sions with unfailing accuracy revealing with mathemabc exact ness, actual degrees of razor blade sharpness. So when we state that today's Gillette blades are the sharpest we have ever made we are bas ing our assertion upon or details of this We urge you to The Gillette Blue Super-Blade The $2 Kroman De Lure blade has been withdrawn from production. We offer the Blue Super-Blade as its successor. This sen sational blade is far superior to the Kroman and costs considerably less. You pay only a few cents more than for the regular blade and get unmatched shaving comfort Its extraordinary shaving performance will convince you that the Blue Blade it the sharpest ever produced. A blue color has been applied to the blade for easy identification. It is contained in a blue package. Cellophane wrapped. try today's Gillette blades- the regular blade in the familiar green package or the BLUE SUPER BLADE in its blue package, Cellophane wrapped. Do so without risking a cent If you don't agree they are the sharpest, smoothest shaving blades you have ever used, return the package and your dealer will refund your money.
