TIMING ERROR DISCLOSED IN LOUIS VICTORY Re-check Shows Fourth Round Went Nine Seconds Overtime By Henry McLemore, VP. Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1935 by t’P.) New York, Sept. 27. (U.R) Either a timekeeper's error or a faulty stop-watch gave Joe Louis his sensational fourth round knockout victory over Max Baer, it was disclosed to the United Press today. The rules say the rounds of a prize fight should be of three minutes each. The fourth’ round of the Louis-Baer fight should have ended at the instant the knockout time-keeper reached four. Instead of three minutes, the round actually lasted three niinuLs and nine and one-half seconds. When Louis' hand was raised in triumph. Baer had every right to be in his own corner recuperating for the lieginning of the fifth round. This, and one other serious errbr in timing, was disclosed in the second-recording laboratories of B. A. Proctor and Company, one of the largest an* best known firms of its kind in the country, which specializes in sound reproductions, particularly from radio broadcasts. The error had it not been made would have postponed Baer’s knockout until the fifth or a later round as experts agreed that he was hopelessly beaten by the lightning fast, hard punching Detroit negro. But it was a grave consequence to thousands who had made bets on the specific round in which they believed the fight would end. TTfftse who bet on the fifth round would have won instead of losing, and

| those who bet still later rounds j might have had a chance. With highly technical apparatus. I the company made a perfect reproduction of the radio broadcast of the fight. With the first word of the announcer from Yankee statlF turn Tuesday night, precise In- | st rumen ts automatically were witched on and took an exact record. 1 Two company engineers and this correspondent timed the rounds with newly adjusted stop-watches and an electric Telechron clock. The timing was by the actual bell the b 11 run by the time-keeper The announcer's count was not used because of the possibility that he might be slow or fast. The first three rounas were tintt ed perfectly as were the first two rest periods between rounds. Then came the first discrepancy. All ' three stop watches were pressed when the bell sounded ending the , third round. Seventy-four seconds , later the bell rang for the beginning of the fourth round. Instead of the 60 seconds stipulated by the rules. Baer had received 74 secI onds in which to recover from be- [ ing knocked down twice in the third round. I At the bell for the beginning of ■ the fourth rround. the three stopwatches were pressed again. Three ■ minutes, nine and a half seconds - later, the bell sounded. Baer al-: ready had been counted out, and. I according to ringside timing. 10 i seconds still remained on the round I aft r h? had been counted out. i which would have made the round , 19 seconds too long. This correspondent personally. ■ with the aid of stop watches, timed the rounds three times to elim- | inate any posibility of error. The engineers timed and re timed it for ! an hour and a half last night. The I results always were the same. The apparatus, according to engineers. employs a scientific syn- ■ chonization that is fool proof. o 1 Dance. Sundav, Sunset. ■ —
