BAER SCORES SURPRISE WIN AGAINST FARR Maxie Baer Gains 15Romid Decision Against Britisher New York. Mar. 12- XU.R> Former heavyweight champion Maxie Baer, slugging unci sneering like the Baer of pre-bright' light days, pounded out u 15-round victory over rugged Tommy Furr of Wales Friday night in one ot the most savage tights ever stage din Madi- , son Square Garden. Baer floored Tommy twice in the early stages of the fight and then, with his left eye completely closed. Maxie fought off a stub-' born rally by the Welshman to score his greatest victory in almost four years. He was the Baer of old — the Baer who hammered Max Schtnel-, ing into oblivion in 1933; the Baer , who toppled pounderous Pripto Camera to win the title in 1934 — as he weathered a terrific storm of lefts to crash his powerful right ! again and again into the face of his slender blond opponent. And. still possessing a sense ot, the dramatic. Max walked over to - the edge of the ring as his arm was raised in victory and shouted , to Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman I of the New York state athletic com: “I guess I did everything you wanted me to. eh. general? Is Max Baer still a bum?” And the crowd of 18.222, many of whom had backed Farr at odds of 2 to 1, roared a thundering, salute to the “new” Maxie Peter— . a slashing, snarling fighter who vowed to come back and win the , title again for his three-month-old . son out in California. In the second round. Maxie drop- j ped Farr for a count of one with g. savage left hook to the head. . In the third round he put Tommy ’ on the floor for a count of six with I a slashing right to the temijle. i But Farr, who had outpointed Baer in 12 rounds last April in London to complete Maxie's ride to what everyone thought was sis- j tic oblivion, came back and made a whale of a fight of it. He com-. pletely closed Baer s left eye by i the tenth round, and rocked Maxie again and again with stiff lefts and > rights to the nead. But Maxie, pacing himself like . a thoroughbred racer, coasted midway through the fight and then, when all had thought he was too tired to keep going, staged a grand rally and won the last three rounds by a wide margin.

Pairings indicate a bar- ; rage of upsets. Tonight 16 teams will be crown !ed regional champions —all that are ! left of 787 entries a little more i than a week ago. This afternoon. ' two games in each regional will I cut the field to 32. The whole tourney set-up is one ! which can halt many of the state's 1 leading teams. Ones successful ' through the season will be meeting again those they defeated by ) overwhelming scores. Many quinI tets have jumped to the top in sudden improvement. It will be un- • expected. The state champion Anderson In- ; dians probably will be among the ' first to fall. Coach Archie Chadd —one of the cleverest —is not pessimistic. but nobody could say he is enthusiastic. They’ve had a bad season, have shown few palys and little spirit, and are now built up to the perfect stage where they can quietly drop aside or arise in typical Chadd fashion to be the surprise of Indiana. Shortridge, meeting Brownsburg this afternoon, will probably participate in the evening scalping bee. if the Indians get past Fortville. 24-Hour Watch Repair service. Sutton. 210 N. 2nd.
