BIG FIGHT

SCHMELING MIGHT HAVE

LOUIS OPEN TARGET FOR GERMAN

(By "Leighton")

London, July 1.

THE

HE blow which actually gave victory to Max Schmeling in his sensational fight with Joe Louis might have meant his disqualification if the contest had been conducted under rules of the old National Sporting Club, wrote Trevor Wignall to the "Daily Express" two days after the big fight.

It was delivered quite two seconds after the bell had sounded to end the fifth round, and it transformed Louis into a collapsed pugilist with sadly weakened legs and dizzied brain. It was all! he could do to waddle back to his corner, and even two ammonia capsules that were broken in his nostrils did not clear his head. Louis also merited disqualification. He landed four palpably low blows, and because of two of these for which he was cautioned he lost the rounds. The final punch that dropped Louis for the count was to all intents and purposes started from Schmeling's dressing room, and it was preceded by a leap that seemed to carry the German half way across the ring.

PLACE TO-NIGHT

LADIES' EVENTS WELL SUPPORTED

GOOD PROGRAMME ARRANGED.

(By "Crawl")

JUDGING from the response received for the

various events to-night, the present swim- ming season at the European Y.M.C.A. promises to be a bumper one. An attractive programme has been arranged for to-night when the first gala of the season will take place.

The programme of six events has been well spread out so as to give all participants a chance of recovering their second wind. One of the most pleasing features of the gala is the large entry from the Ladies' Section, no less than 18 having entered for the three 'events.

Contrary to expectations, there will be no mixed relay, a popular feature of the galas, as the men have a heavy programme ahead of them and as there is also a distinct possibility that a water-polo match between the "Y" and the RE will terminate the programme, this makes the possibility all the more remote.

The gala commences at 9.15; P. sharp and Y.M.C.A mem- bers and their friends are cor- dially invited to attend.

The following is the programme:-- Men's 50 Yards Aggregate Cap

R. Goldman goes to 6
