LOUIS WHIPS MAX BAER IN FOURTH ROUND Former Champion Mercilessly Beaten By Detroit Negro Star New York. Sept. 25.— (U.R) A new “white hope" epoch was ushered in today on the murderous fiots of brown man Joe Louis. He pounded former champion Max Baer to a pu'.p last night, just as he did former champion Primo Camera, and boxing experts and fight fans realized with a terrible thrill that no known man. black, yellow, white, or red, not even champion James J. Braddock, would have a chance against the unthinking, unfeeling fighting machine. Max Baer, only four months ago heavyweight champion and universally recognized as a "great" fighting man. never had a chance. He was cut down in 11 minutes and 42 seconds in Yankee stadium last night before 84,831 men and women throbbing to the blood lust. A frightening, primitive belloW arising simultaneously from thousands of throats filled the September night as the bleeding Baer, crippled of mind and body, took the count on his knees, the impassive. lithe brown panther-man poised in a corner for the kill if it was needed. Champion Braddock is next. Probably he will crawl into the ring with the 21-year-old negro next spring or summer. No one doubted that it would be another slaughter, but Louis had hardly dressed and joined his pretty, light tan bride of but a few hours when fight promoters began making the preliminary arrangements. Last night's blood feast yielded gross receipts of $932,944 — contributed by the third largest fight crowd in history. Baer received $215,107. (He and Louis shared alike) for his licking. So well did the public like it, and so enthusiastically did it hail the new “killer.” “the greatest killer since Dempsey." that promoters envisioned even greater harvests in the future. Louis, unafraid of any man and eager and willing to fight, may take on one or two fights before then, possibly one with former champion Max Schmeling if the latter can be lured into a ring with him. Even those who watched his sky-rocket rise to the heights in only 14 months of professional fighting, with skeptical, jaded eyes

Details of the plot were disclosed by Japanese authorities after a two-year investigation which followed the arrest of 63 on July 10, 1933, the night before its scheduled execution. Tatsua Amano, left, and Hikoichi Naito, right, were named as leaders of the plot. A case full of swords believed intended as arms for the assassins is shown at top.

CUBS, CARDS IN BATTLE FOR LEAGUE TITLE ■I 7 Five-Game Series Opening Today To Decide Pennaht Race — New York. 1,-.st and positively “crucial" series of the 1935 baseball campaign opens in St. Louis today with the ' National league pennant at stak >. j On the offen-dve are the first place Chicago Cubs, who need ‘ only two victories in the next five i starts to win their first league I championship since 1932. On the defensive will be the I second place St. Louis Cardinals, j world champions last reason, who i need four of five to tie for the | pennant and five straight to win. The Cardinals are expected to ! call on the Dean brothers to share I the major pitching burden. ' Paul ■ Dean is expected to oppose Lon- ■ nie Warneke in today’s g-'.-ne. Bill I Lee probably will be used by the Cubs tomorrow against Dizzy ■ Dean with Lorry French and CharI ley Root ready for relief duty I either day. The Cubs enter the series hear- ! ily favored because: 1. They have been idle for two j days. 2. They are riding the crest of an 18-ga.me winning streak. 3. Their pitching staff is ready for a bitter battle. The Cubs boast they will capture the first two games, clinch the pennant and extend their streak to 20 straight. The only thing apparently against them is the fact that they have won only 5 starts out of 17 against the I Cardinals this seasen. St.-Louis drew a half game clow-j ! er to the top yesterday by batter- ’ ! ing the Pittsburgh Pirates. 11-2. j i Wild Bill Hallahan went the distance a.nd yielded only three hits. I The New York, Giants defeated I Philadelphia 6-o and 7-6. Homers iin the third by Ott. Smith, and [ Cuccinello were the deciding I blows in the opener, while seven j Philadelphia errors aided the■ I Giants in the nightcap. Brooklyn . ; defeated Boston. 5-3 and 6-5. in | ! the only other National league | ! games. In the American league Cleveland defeated Detroit 14-7. New j York won its sixth straight by i defeating Washington 14-6. The l Boston Red Sox strengthened ! their hold on fourth place by defeating Philadelphia. 8-2 and f-5, I • while fifth place Chicago lost 3-0 ’ and 6-3. to St. Louis. Yesterday's hero: Wild Bill Hal-1 lahan.

The Late Mrs. Foresight % BUYING her winter furs in August and such staple summer needs as bathing suits, white buckskins and beach towels in September, always seemed so utterly behindtime. So, at least, her neighbors thought But sometimes there is “method in madness” . . . although in Mrs. Foresight’s case the “madness” proves to be shrewdness.... She is a good manager. A keen observer. Apparently late, she is really ahead. When the stores have merchandise which it is better for them to close out at temptingly low prices, than to carry over until the next season, she sallies forth and picks up the bargains. She takes advantage of the inactive-season sales. She scans the newspapers. She watches the advertisements. Why not be a Mrs. Foresight yourself? And here’s a further angle to the wisdom of buying ahead at end-of-season prices: The money you save helps to pay for those immediate style needs that cannot well be bought except as Fashion decrees—in season. Figure it out It’s worth while! Read the advertisements in this newspaper.
BALL STATE TO PLAY FRANKLIN Marion Feasel, Former I Yellow Jacket Star, To Play End Muncie, Ind.. Sept. 25. Friday evening the Ball State Cardinals open their football season In MunId., against the Franklin college | team It will be a new coach, John | i Magnabosco of Clinton, that will direct the play of the Cards. Magnabosco, the former Indiana I university fullback, enjoyed tin- [ usual success as high school coach at Clinton. He is using the open I game at Ball State instead of the | straight style that was used before. The men like the new type and it is spectacular enough that football fans enjoy it. I With a lot of the varsity line lost by graduation last June, the forward wall has been changed. i Perry, a guard last season, is playing tackle this year and Dunavent another guard is being used at lend. Heaher. an end Is being used I some at tackle and Hunt, who is regular center, is being used part lof the time at tackle. [ The backfield are all veterans for they have been together since they were members of the fresh- [ men team three years ago. “Bus” . Cole of Kokomo will do the signal j icalling. Choice at halfbacks will be William Barley of Fort Wayne and Ernest Sutton of Marion. The fullback will probably be Ned [Shuck of Prairie township. In addition Magnal>osco has a strong second string backfield.: Gordon Nelson was a letterman last year. Two sophomores, Alvy Havens of Elwood and George Novak of Lowell will see a lot of action. "Red" Serlng of Flora has I been out because of injuries but will be back next week. Ends will be Marion Feasel of I Decatur and either Bob Keener of Bluffton or Forrest Dunavent of Muncie. Dan Perry of Warsaw will , Ire one tackle and either Ronald ; Rowe or Wesley Gough, both of [Muncie, at the other position. ; Guards will be Sam Martin of k Huntertown and Delmar Moore of Muncie. It will be either Dick ■ Hunt of Muncie or Claude Reith . of Goshen at center. ( | o Teacher Missing Since January I I • Valparaiso. Ind..

INDIANA SEES FINE SEASON Bo McMillin Enters Second Year As Coach At Indiana U. Bloomington. Ind.. Sept 25. —(U.R) —Coach Bo McMillin has introduced a new school of thought to the Indiana university football team and if his idea gets across the Hoosiers are due for a successful f year. "Forget aoout beating Purdue until a week before the game.” he ‘ Is telling his players. “Let s beat the other teams on our schedule ’ first.” McMillin believes that in former f years Indiana became so engrossed ■ in winning from Purdue that the 1 Hoosiers were a setup for the other teams. The season always has been considered a success if the Hoosiers 7 came home with the “Old Oaken Bucket." symbolic of victory over their traditional intrastate rivals, t McMillin is starting his second - year as head coach here. His first ; season resulted in victories over Maryland. Purdue. Ohio University r and ties with the powerful Temple | team and lowa.
