MAX BAER WINS CHAMPIONSHIP FROM CARNERA California Fighter Scores Technical Knockout In 11th Round New York, June 15.—(U.R) The heavyweight championship of the world was back in America today, borne on the crashing crescendo of Max Baer's dynamite fists. Boxing has the spectacular colorful figure it has needed since Dempsey's day. The new champion Is a slugger. In 2:16 of the eleventh round of last night's light, Maxie Baer of California smashed his way to a vicious technical knockout over the unpopular Primo Camera of Italy, and with the final battering blow, heavyweight boxing was restored to the status it held in the halcyon days of Johnson. Willard. Dempsey and Tunney. The sport loday has a champion whom none denies. In all. Camera was floored a dozen times. if boxing ever had a beaten champion it was the giant, battered Camera in that thrill-rifled eleventh round. His nose was broken and his face bleeding. Baer, who seemed to have the fight won in the first round, again ‘ in the second, and still again in the tenth, came out for the kill. He had Camera all but out on his feet. In the eleventh Maxie floored

Camera with a right to the head, Referee Donovan counted up to "three." Reeling like a Saturday night drunk. Camera pulled his huge, drooplnjt body upright; slithered along the ropes. Baer drove a relentless left to 1 the body. Primo, dazed, raised ills i fists weakly; picked at Maxie's head with meaningless lefts. Baer smashed over a left which ’ i sent Primo reeling. But he showed gameness even under this terrific onslaught. His legs sagging, Camera took a stunning left to the , head. J Again Maxie lashed out. That ' power-Vacked right caught Primo squarely aside the head. Down went the champion. Obviously out on his feet. Camera struggled up again. But Referee Arthur Donovan led Maxie away and finally raised Baer's hand in signal of victory. The crowd of 55.000 was wildly excited throughout. The tip-off came in the opening round. After nearly two minutes of cautious sparring, Baer floored Carnera with a right to the chin. Primo was up at once. He beat a hasty retreat against the ropes near a neutral corner. Baer swarmed all over the giant and drove him through the ropes. Camera weathered the round. o Local Caddies Win The Decatur caddies defeated the Brookwood caddies at the Fort Wayne course. 5 to 1. Local play- } ers were John Bauman. Dave Bauman, William Snider. William Elston. Rafph Peterson and Ralph Ritter. Get the Habit — Trade at Home
