Dec.

13 IA' Th situation is going to be reversed tonight when Herr Max Schmeling, the mighty hunter, climbs into the Madison Square Garden rinsz for 15 rounds or le.v, with Harry This time Joe Louis, the champ. 1 going to be sitting there with his sleepy eyes glued on the proceedings hoping to "Kee mm? thing' important. He w-ould like to locate a leak in Schmclinz's 32-year-old armor. It would be only fair If tir did. because- Mas, you will recall, sat there in the shadows a couple of winters ago and "saw gomezing" nobody rise had even surperfird while Louis, the youngster, was smashing old Paolino Usud'jn out of the fight game for good.

What Max Discovered Schmeling discovered night that Joe was a sucker for a right, and a few months later he reaped the benefit of that discovery bv nearly knocking Joe's head right off its hinges. Der Maxie fully exjvects to do it again when tie tackles Joe for the title next June. Prospects were that Joe. 18 months older and wiser than when he ran into Schme'ing's right, would have a good opportunity' to study his most dangerous rival tonight. The odds favor-d Uy win by 3 to 1, but a lot of critical observers expVd him to have hands pretty full.

Thomas, though unknown to fame in the east, has knocked out a bushel of fair fighters through the middle-west and west, and he's never yet had to dust th resin off his pants. He's strong and tough Furthermore, he talks a terrific fight, and the boys have not forgo-ten that Tommy Farr was a loudspeaker. Max's Right Working Schmeling has looked grand in training, that trusty right of his crackling like a max-fiine run as it sprayed sparring partners all over the canvas. Thomas has looked terrible. So it prc-ably will be a humdinger of a fight.

Thomas, among other things, claims he knocked Joe Louis fiat a couple of years ago when Joe was training for a fieri on the west coast. He says that, as a result, he was fired out of the Louis camp without even receiving the $10 due him. "I can't remember it." says Joe, "and I usually remember these fellows who knock me down. But I'll pay him the 10 if he says I owe it to him." Louis has seen Thomas fight several times, though, and he admils there's a real punch up the Them as Excepts in age. Schmeling and Thomas are evenly matched.

Thomas, at 27. has a five-year haul in that respect. Each was expected to scale pounds. Schmeling is an inch taller, but, Thomas has the heavier chest and arm development. Schmeling is far the better boxer and should win.

Golden Greek CHICAGO (NEA). Jim Londos, the Golden Greek and former world heavyweight wrestling champion, has grossed $10,000,000 in box o22.ee receipts. Still kFaney Diver Heinie Brock, comic star with the Follies of 1938" whose in- i ebriated skating act usually brings down the house, once was a fancy diver on the University of Mirme- sola swimming team. The Payoff rich Miami Biltmore Open golf championship. Revolta, bronzed veteran of Chi cago fairways, most consistent per former in the battle for the $2,500 first prize in the $10,000 event, was one stroke ahead of the field as the last 18 holes of play gQt under way Three sub-par rounds one 69 and two 70s gave the former National P.

O. A. champion an aggregate of 209. Although Revolta was once resi dent pro at the Biltmore, the course had never before been kind to him when chips were down. This time however, he has stayed out of the multitude of traps, away from the palm-studded rough and out of the traversing canal for three consecutive rounds while his rivals were blowing hot and cold.

Meti Tied With Thomson Closest in pursuit was one man who blew mighty hot In his third battle with Biltmore's par. He was Jimmv Thomson, the distance hit ter from Ciawnee-on-Delaware. Pa. Jimmy, who missed par with a 72 in Ills first test, and took a 73 on his second, yesterday set up a new competitive course record of 05 to aggregate 210. Tying Thomson second place was another who found the course to his liking, Dick Metz of Chicago.

one of the gallery favorites. Metz Khad a 67 after an opening par 71 and a second round in 72 The other major bidder for the main prize was Sammy Snead. the likeable pro from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Snead.

opening day leader with a 67, and who scored 72 to slip back into a tie with Revolta at the midway mark, had another 72 yesterday for an a pa rebate of 211. Snowball Has 216 The winner should come from among this group Revolta. Thomson, Metz. and Snead but there were plenty of aces who could win with a brilliant round if all of the big four folded. One was Horton Smith, who held an aggregate of 213 He was the only player with a chance to upset the tradition that nobody ever wins the Biltmore title twice.

Also at 213 was E. J. Harrison of Little Rock, Ark. Byron Nelson of Reading, had 214 as did J. D.

Fogerty of Boca-Grande. Fla. Ed Dudley, popular Philadelphian had 215 and was even with Tony Penna of Dayton, O. Henry Picard of Hershey. and Ed Snowball Oliver of Wilmington.

at 216, were the only others with even outside chances of wining. Among those shooting for secondary prizes were Paul Runyan of White Plains. N. Denny Shute of Coral Gables. Tommy Armour of Boca Raton, Felix Sarafin of Seranton.

and Ray Mangrum of Dayton, all with 220; and Ralph Ouldahl of Coral Gables, National Open champion, with 221. Lewes High Five Druhs Greenwood in Opener LEWES. Dec. 13 (Special). Lewes High School swamped Greenwood High, 47-27, as both teams opened their current season Saturday at Greenwood.

A scoring surge in the last period which netted 16 points gave Greenwood its one-sided margin. Score: LEWES Goals This would seem to prove that Mickey Cochrane knew what he was domg when he made that deal with the Whit Sox for Vernon Kennedy. Gehrig; Smashes Records We will be second to none in shouting the praises of Ge-hringer as the perfect ball player and we have every admiration for D.Mag-gios 46 home runs a remarkable feat for a right hand hitter. But what intrigues us most is the new set of records hung up by the Yankees' grand old iron horse Lou Gehrig. Lou ran his consecutive game streak to 1,965 and erased Eddie Collins' record toy playing 11 seasons fn 150 or more games.

Lou also drove in 159 runs for the seventh season, thus supplanting Babe Ruth's record of driving in 150 or more for six years. But this is by no means all Tar-ruping Lou did. He broke a tie with Al Simmons and Goose Goslin by in 100 or more runs for 12 straight years. He aLso made 200 hits for the eighth straight time, leaving him only one year behind Ty Cobb who turned the trick in nine seasons. He got 137 passes, making the tenth year he has drawn more than 100 free tickets.

And by hittrng 37 homers, he boosted his life-time total to 495. It was the tenth season in which Lou garnered at least 30 homers.

13 Two linss of cold figures in the official Amer ican League batting averages today disclose better than words why uhe Yankees tow-roped the field last season. It is no surprise to find that the Tigers Charley Gehringer led the league with a snappy .371 batting average nor that Lou Gehrig was second with .351 and Joe DiMagjio third with ,346. But it may surprise many to learn that the Tigers as a team outhit the Yanks .292 to .283 and that the lowly Browns also finished ahead of the Yanks with a team mark of .285. Yanks Got Mileage However, those aforesaid two lines of figures disclose that although the Tigers made 1611 hits to the Yanks' 1554, the Yanks outscored their closest rivals 979 to 935 and had 25 $4 total bases to the Tigers' 2494. In other words, the Yanks got more mileage out of their hits.

Another surprising feature is that although the Yanks were popularly supposed to be strictly a slugging outfit, overwhelming their rivals cn sheer power, they actually must have had the best pitching in the league, for fewer runs were scored against them than against any other team. Opponents made only about four runs a game against the Yanics whereas they made a little more than five a game against the Tigers.

Let me explain. Invitation Sent Off Shortly after this match was made David of Windsor and his duchess announed their plans to visit tb United States.

Joe (Yussel the Jacobs, manager of Schmel-ing, saw this announcement and immediately made for the telegraph oGce to dispatch this cable: "Dear Duke would be glad to have you as my guest during your stay in New York stop. Have reserved two swell seats for you and bride at fight between Schmeling and Thomas stop Regards Joe Jacobs." With the invitation on its way across the Atlantic, Jacobs began laying plans for the arrival of the cuke and duchess. The first riling he did was to go to his hotel and ask to reserve the best suite in the house. The manager was sorry, but explained that Jim Braddock had the test suite in the house, and wasn't thinking of moving.
