Oswald writes about Dowell promising a letter, Bartley contemplating an apology for a previous boxing event at the ball yard, and preparing as matchmaker for a Disabled War Veterans bout between Bobby Grant and Holly Allen. He predicts 2,000 fans and notes the difficulty of persuading critics. The message ends midstream as he hints at more in Part 2.

Stribling Aims for Early Knockout Over Schmeling
Geauga Lake Ohio June 25. Bil Stribling outlines a blitzing two phase plan against Max Schmeling for the July 3 heavyweight title. He targets five fast rounds of aggressive left hooks and jabs to set up right hands, then a mid bout strategy to control pace if the champ remains upright. The scheme mirrors Dempsey’s 1923 approach against Gibbons and relies on early pressure to decide the contest.
