CLEVELAND. July 3. (/P)—Max
Schmeling defends his title tonight
at 7 o’clock, Pacific time, with the
prospect of an attendance of 40,
000 to 50,000, and receipts between
$300,000 and $400,000.
Stribling remained a three to
two and seven to five favorite;
there is little betting because of
very little Schmeling money in
sight.
They are as well matched physi
cally as any two heavyweights who
ever fought. Schmeling will de
pend on two things for vcitory, an
aggressive attack and his jarring
right hand punch that is damag
ing when it lands, He has trained
himself to fight crowding in with
a punch at close range and by
charging in and forcing the issue.
He hopes to keep Stribling so busy
on the defensive that the Georgian
will have little opportunity to
start.
Tunney, Jeffries, Jim Corbett
and other notables in fistiana will
be there.
