ECAUSE the result of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling fight is by now pretty common knowledge—in fact, quite common—the manuscript we re- produce herewith is, perhaps, principal- ly of archeological interest. At any rate, it was only a few nights ago that one of our men stumbled upon it in the bottom of a damp seidel he happened to be examining in a bier- stube. We reproduce the document at this late date because we feel it may give you a particularly touching insight into the integrity of the Fourth Estate the world over, The manuscript apparently was prepared well before the actual bout, and addressed to the editorial staffs of all German papers. Account No. 1 is marked (the trans. lation, of course, is quite free): “Slap this one on page one if the short-waves report a win for Schmeling,” while ac- count No. 2 bears the legend lip this one in among the truss ads if the (de- leted) non-Aryan connects. —__ , EUROPE MS. FOUND IN A SEIDEL (Account No. 1) RACE AND BLOOD CONQUER AMERICA! Superiority Of Nazi Ideology Clearly Demonstrated In Western Hemisphere Before a wildly cheering throng of 90,000 American box-fighting enthusi- asts, National Socialist Max Schmeling last night hammered his way to glorious victory and the world's most cherished athletic title, defeating Joseph Louis, Negro leader of the CIO. The heavyweight championship bout took place in Yankee Stadium, a colos- sal sports-palast erected in honor of the German-American inventor of the game of bases-ball, Herr Jahnke. The multitude deliriously acclaimed the courage, manly bearing, and obvious culture of Herr Schmeling—such a man as their own effete and flabby democ- racy has been incapable of producing. Louis fought doggedly, but marred the conflict with such characteristically un- Aryan skullduggery as ducking and “Tuts Map OF Europe, Miss FincH—It’s A WEEK OLp!" blocking many blows. However, Nazi ideology and a referee named Hacken. shmidt eventually triumphed. At the conclusion of the bout, as the referee announced him winner and joy- ous pandemonium broke loose, Herr Schmeling leaped panther-like to the radio microphone and gave the tradi- tional American victory greeting: “Heil Hitler!” Upon learning the result in Berlin, the Fuehrer revealed that he had himself privately encouraged and inspired the fighter before he sailed from Germany, and also had sent him a secret radio message just before the bout giving Herr Schmeling specific tactical advice for conquering his foe—for instance, “He don’t like it downstairs.” Obviously Herr Schmeling’s victory now confronts the American govern- ment with the necessity of finally, with- out further evasion, granting uncondi- tional autonomy to the German prov- ince of Yorkville. (Note to Editor: Don't bother with details of the fight itself.) (Account No. 2) Gangster Rule Grips New York Last night witnessed a disgusting spectacle in Jewish-gangster Mayor La Guardia’s New York City, as Max Schmeling, an obscure German profes- sional pugilist, was hounded from the ring by the Jewish-gangster backers of a Negro thug named Joseph Louis. Schmeling entered the ring in an ob. viously drugged condition. Further- more, during each rest period his Jew- ish-gangster handlers were seen forcing the contents of a sinister looking bottle between his lips. It would, of course, be useless to lodge protest with the Chairman of New York's Boxing Com- mission, Jewish-gangster John J. Phelan. Though the bout itself was a sordid matter of no importance, the deplorable conditions it revealed simply indicate that our Reich may find it necessary sooner than anticipated to take certain unpleasantly decisive steps in affairs American. Incidentally, it was learned from au- thoritative sources this morning that pugilist Schmeling has for some time been under Berlin's official surveillance. His maternal grandfather is said to have borrowed a match from a Jew. Pending full investigation, the fighter's properties have been confiscated by the State. —Epwarp H. Dexter.
