JTAGOS EIGHT GREEEEY, COEORA0O EVENINH, 11; MORNING, TRIBUNE SPOR Schmeling Is Stronger in FanJJupport Foreign Contender's Chances Considered Stronger Now Than a Week. Ago But Sharkey Remains Favorite (Associated Press) New York, June fistic king of the old world and the heavyweight monarch of the new--young and eager Max Schmellng and the older, more prosaic Jack Sharkey--sat down tonight to rest and worry off poundage until a crowd of 70,000 calls them Into the Yankee stadium ring Thursday night to do battle for the world's championship. Tomorrow the gladiators and the hordes of handlers' arid hangers-on that surround all fistic headliners will move Into town with their arguments and predictions of victory. Already the excitement and tenseness that always surround big moments In ring history are cropping out where the faithful gather. Special trains from the mid-west, north, and east are bearing vociferous burdens Into the fistic stockades.

The hotels are filling, up and the famous rendezvous of the town are playing to standing room. So vigorous has been the demand for tickets In the past few days that predictions ot a gross gate were freely made and accepted today Respite Inclement weather, usually a damper to enthusiasm. The weather forecasts indicate, however, that all will be bright and cheerful on Thursday, the only day that really matters to the customers. After a poor start, the match seems to have caught the fancy of the faithful and the match seems to have caught the fancy of the faithful and the greatest outpouring since Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey battled before a $1,083,000 crowd here in 1927 is a surety. In case of rain the show will be put on Friday one worry Is left to the night.

Only Scumbling camp now that the German challenger has completed' his training mid is in perfect condition for the fray. The New York state athletic commission has yet to grant Joe Jacobs, his manager of choice and the man he has picked to guide him in Thursday's battle, a license to second his man. The commission meets tomorrow for the last time before the fight and Is expected to honor Jacobs with a temporary vise. The battle swings down almost to the time for throwing Schmeling's chances to win for Europe its first modern heavyweight championship are being regarded with more and more favor tho Sharkey rules the betting choice. The German Is perfectly conditioned for a long, hard struggle.

The only uestlgn, regarding him seems to be his ability to take punishment. In winning five fights here, including knockouts of Joe Monte and Johnny Risko and a one-sided over Paulino Uzcu- don, Max never has been called upon to fight his way out of a fog and on victory. The Teuton's style Is perfectly designed to bother Sharkey. Rushing, punching warriors always have har- rassed the sailor. He was.

knocked but by Jack Dempsey and was charged out of a title shot at Gene Tunney by Johnny Rlsko and Tom Heeney. Altho Sharkey should hit him at will with his smart left hand, Sehmeling has travelled far under the slogan originated by Napoleon and modernized by Knute, Roekne-- the best defense is a good offense. The boys who Insist on following lorm in everything from thoroughbred race horses to heavyweights are standing stronger than ever at, Sharkey's shoulders. To them tho erratic New Englander's crack left hand, experience, craft and all-around ability make him a 9 to 5 favorite. The predictions run by wholesale to Sharkey, but always with the proviso that he fight his best fight and keep from "blowing up." St.
