Description
(Original Caption) Pre-War Stuff. Manhattan, New York, New York: Champion Joe Louis (left) is shown squaring off with Max Schmeling for the benefit of the camera lads at the weighing in ceremony in Madison Square Garden today. Tonight, they won't be kidding when the gong summons them to battle at the Yankee Stadium for the world's heavyweight championship. Louis weighed 198 3/4 pounds; Schmeling 193. The German received a cable from Reichsfuehrer Hitler today conveying Germany's best wishes. It began -- "To the coming world's champion. . ."
