SHARKEY II AD WIDE MARGIN
WHEN GERMAN HIT FLOOR
FROM LOW BLOW
NEW YORK. June 13. UP)—
Max Schmeling of Germany won
he world’s heavyweight cham
pionship from Jack Sharkey of
Boston on a foul in the fourth
round of a scheduled 15-round
fight.
The battle drew 70.000 people.
The end came suddenly after the
start of the fourth round when
Sharkey had a big lead but seem
ed to be confused at the time he
fouled Schmeling.
The drop to the canvas almost
duplicated the scene at Miami in
February when Sharkey won from
Phil Scott on a foul.
For several minutes Referee Jim
Crowley did not make a decision;
rhe ring was filled with seconds,
:he apparently hurt Schmeling
;.nd the almost fanatic Sharkey.
The referee had not seen the
blow, which was a left, but which
apparently smashed below the
German’s belt but Judge Harold
Branrim, op whose 5ideJJieJttjID£h
struck, said it was six inches
below the belt.
The fight by rounds:
ROUND 1
Sharkey fought carefully with
his left but did not touch the
German’s head. Schmeling missed
tl^en stepped in with a sharp left
h<K>k to Sharkey’s chin and neat
.y blocked the Boston sailor’s
counter. Max bobbed under Jack’s
•eft and hooked his left to the
chin then fell in close with a
'lam to the body.
Sharkey is a big man and even
way one looked he is the physical
superior of Schmeling.
As Sharkey missed a left Maj
whipped over his first right hanc
punch—a short one—with a smasl
:hat thudded on Sharkey’s head
Jack appeared shocked and storm
ed madly forward. He clinched
however, and they were sparring
carefully at the bell.
ROUND 2
Sharkey seemed to be arguing
with his seconds in the corner
:hen came out on his toes but
boxing carefully. Schmeling dove
:n with a left and a right to the
body and Sharkey hammered both
fists to the head. They clinched
and wrestled. Sharkey Dumped
a left to the head and met
Schmeling coming forward with
a sharp right to the cheek: he
-tabbed Max off balance with a
eft.
Sharkey grew more aggressive
but was ever watchful of Schmel
ing’s right and stabbed for the
iead which Max did not seem to
mind then stepped into two up
oercuts and banged a left hook
and a short right to Sharkey’s
head. Sharkey warmed to the
fight hooking a left to the body
and a right to the head. Max
sneaked over with a left hook
and Sharkey banged away at the
German with a right to the chin.
They then stabbed each other un
til the bell sounded.
ROUND 3
Sharkey tore after the eagle
browed Teuton and they swapped
rights to the chin; both were on
the ropes and the blows were all
clean, jarring punches. Max
sneaked over another right and
banged at Sharkey’s body while
in close while the sailor tried to
tie him up. A short right on the

Ermeloff of the Nikolski tribe of
natives on Umnak Island.
! Princess Sarah, whose grand
daddy was a good Swede by the
name of Larsen, would rather
dance than anything else she
knows of and despises washing
dishes. Next to dancing she loves
to see movies, though there is no
showhouse on the island nor has
she ever been further away from
home than Unalaska- At this lat
ter place she once saw a movie.
But the village contemplates hav
ing movies in the near future, she
says. And undoubtedly they will,
for this village is reputed to be one
of the two richest tribes in Alaska.
Princess Sarah is also a singer
in the vllage church to which the
entire community gather twice
each week. They say Sarah has a
very wonderful and sweet voice.
| Her brother recently built their
mother a fine new home and also
purchased for her a radio and a
Victrola. Sarah took the S. S. Starr
to Unalaska where she was to have
her tonsils removed.

CIRCUMSTANCES IN AFFIDAVIT
WILL BE FULLY INVESTI
GATED, PERHAPS
SAN FRANCISCO. June 13. (A3)— ;
An affidavit signed by Eugene!
Mobier, ex-Naval aviator, purport-;
ing to show that Eunice Pringle'
plotted to secure money from
Pantages, was sent to State At- |
torney General Webb, it was dis
closed here yesterday.
Mobier’s affidavit said that he
had presented this evidence to ;
District Attorney Fitts while Pan- i
tages was being prosecuted; that j
Fitts listened “but did nothing j
about it but warned me to keep j
my mouth shut and to keep away
from Pantages’ attorneys.”
The affidavit, with a letter
from Bernard Nugent, San Fran
cisco attorney, were submitted to
Webb upon Nugent’s recommen
dation “in the interest of justice
and public policy, the circum
stances contained in the affidavit
should be fully investigated.”
WASHINGTON, June 12, UF)—

Members agreed last night that,
Cannon would not be compelled to
answer to questions about his anti
Smith activities.
HI ISLAND IS
HOME OF VOLCANOES
Akutan Island is of more than
usual interest for upon it are a few !
snorting volcanos which at all
times are throwing vast clouds of
black smoke and blasts of steam
high into the heavens. The island
itself Ls of volcanic origin.
When passing it by the steamer
Starr is not more than three miles
away from one of these live volca
nos. It is quite a sight to see and a
fellow wonders what would happen
if about the time of passing the
old fellow decided to ' do its stuff”.
Just beyond this lies Lava Point
and leading directly from the shore
to wit* a distance of not more
than one-eigth of a mile, is a
great black crater which, evidently
has lon{ en dormant. The whole
coast li- e there abouts is of lava
format; n and the sea has weaved
some autful patterns along that
particular spot- In the summer
time, when the greens are growing
profusely, it is said the sides of this
smooth crater resembles a cut
lawn.

A REAL DOG
j Speaking of dogs there is a dog
by the name of Rex at False Pass
'which, every time the S. S. Starr
slides alongside of the dock, is al
ways the first one aboard ship and
like a homing pigeon, makes a bee
line for the galley for a handout;
'and gets it too- A fine dog, that.
END WAS PREDICTED
LONDON, June 13, </P)—P h i lj
Scott, English heavyweight said; |
'The results of the Sharkey
Schmeling fight didn’t surprise me. t
[n fact it was already predicted it!
would prove a fiasco”. It is under
stood Scott intends to challenge
Schmeling.
OTTAWA, June 12, (/P)—“Siber

1ST FOB PRESIDENT!
, JffllTJI J J®2
WASHINGTON, June 12, (/P,i—By
returning to the political arena
with a-made to order platform,
former Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri, left no doubt in Washing
ton that he will become a full
fledged candidate for the presi
dency npmlnation in 1932.
While no party leaders' are ex
pected to make a rush for the Reed
band wagon at this early date, the
instant and favorable reaction
among Democrats here to the
battle-cry sounded by the militant
Missourian at Sedalia, served to
place him definitely in the presi
| dental picture.
URGENT MESSAGE
POONA, June 13, (/P)—Military

message from Bombay presumably
|in connection with the enforcement
|of the anti-picketing ordinance.
FARTHEST WEST PIANO
Another great discovery has been
made in Alaska by the Gateway;
in fact two discoveries. The first
is that Atka Island can claim the
honor of possessing the farthest
west piano in the United States.
And in the second place this little
settlement on the fringe of the
Bering and North Pacific Seas ap
pears to be the only place overlook
ed by Henry Ford for not a single
motor vehicle of any sort is upon
th island.

tomobile speed record holder, re
ceived a broken arm, a fractured
thigh and a broken rib when his
high-speed motorboat, “Miss Eng- I

a world’s speed record on Lake;

His mechanic, Halliwell, it is
feared was drowned.
The concussion from a fired
whale gun is sufficient to kill in

so frail are they.
rJRQPHY WILL NOT BE GIVEN TO
MAX IF TUNNEY HAS ANY
THING TO SAY ABOUT IT
NEW YORK, June 13, (/P)—Max
Schmeling, German heavyweight
champion, after being on the verge
of a knockout in the third round
from as vicious a two-fisted attack
as Jack Sharkey ever let loose,
crumpled against the ropes and fell
writhing in agony from a blow to
the left groin two inches below the
belt.
The bell rang for the end round
and Schmeling was carried limp
and groaning to his corner. Several
minutes elapsed before Referee
Crowley reached a verdict, then,
Sharkey leaping up and down in
his excitement, closed* his eyes and
slumped in his corner and refused
to say a word as he was led deject
ed from the ring.
Schmeling, though winner, is no
way blamed for the ending as he
was thoroughly beaten so far as
points were concerned, when he
sank to the canvas.
The championship e m d i e m,
known as the Tunney-Muldoon
trophy, wm not likely be awarded
Schmeling if the opinion of Tunney
is influential. He made it clear he
considered no champion emerged
from last night’s event..
The men sparred the first two
rounds with little to choose but in
the third round the American cut
loose with evident intent to finish
Schmeling quickly. The German
rushed in and Sharkey smashed
him with sold rights doubling the
German up in pain so great that it
almost lifted him from the floor.
Sharkey showed respect for
Schmeling’s right at the end of the
round. Smelling salts were applied
I freely in Schmeling’s corner and he
came out smartly for the fourth:
Sharkey then took command and
had swung into a clinch when the
low blow was swung.
