ORITE: BOUT SCHEDUL
ED GO 15 ROUNDS
NEW YORK, June 12, (/P)—
Caught in the fever grip of
another championship battle, New
York fussed, spluttered and pre
dicted, argued, bullied and fought
for tickets for Sharkey’s 15
round duel with Max Schmeling
tonight in Madison Sqaure Gar
den.
Not since the late “Tex” Rick
ard maneuvered heavyweight con
troversies into a financial success
has the usually blase Manhattan
town gone so completely for a
championship struggle.
The international battle mush
roomed, during the past few
days, into the biggest drawing
card since Jack Dempsey, under
Rickard, drew swarms to battles
The gross receipts are certain to
reach $750,000 as 70,000 are ex
pected to attend.
Sharkey betting has withstood
bear attacks from an increasing
strong band of Schmeling fan
Jacobs, has been granted a second’s
license. He will be chief second in
the German’s corner.
The weather is excellent; th<
arriors have arrived upon th<

20 MINUTES AWAY OFFERED
HELP, TOLD ALL OKEH
BOSTON, June 12, (A3)—Captain
Archibald Brooks of the liner Fair
fax testified at the investigation
that the Pinthis-Fairfax collision
was over so quickly that any SOS
couldn’t have brought help quickly
enough to cut down the loss of the
46 persons.
Captain Brooks admitted the ship
was moving at a speed of more
than 11 knots; this was not a mod
erate speed in a fog, he said, but he
considered six knots too slow' a
speed.
Commander Parker, of the Coast
Guard Cutter Tampa, was 20 min
utes away from the Fairfax. He
said the Tampa intercepted the
messages and asked if he could
help and the reply came back that
all was okeh.
