SCHMELING TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
FRACTURED MUSCLES IN BACK NEW YORK, June 23. Max Schmeling was taken to hospital after suffering pains in the back throughout the night. An Xray examination showed a fracture of the muscle attachments in the back and straining of the lumbar muscles. The X-ray examination also revealed two broken transverse processes on the left side of the spinal column under the kidneys. Transverse processes are protruding segments of bone from the vertebrae.
Schmeling has been strapped to his bed, and he will, remain there until July 2, after which he will be taken in an ambulance and placed on board the liner Bremen to recuperate in Germany. The fight receipts totalled 1,015,000 dollars, of which Louis will receive 321,000 dollars and Schmeling 160,000 dollars.
