Then, almost aa quickly as be had flown Into a race -• race that swelled the vs Ina in Ma neck and ■ bundled hla flats Into knots -Baer quieted down, and In an alm-sat confidential wblapvi. told me why be was fighting again *1 ain't fightin' for myself any more." he said *1 cot enough to take care of myself | want to make a little extra for some others Lissen. lemma tell you when I decided to take this fight with Galento." The swagger was all gone from Mas aa he told me about a little old woman in her aistiee bis Aunt Olive from Omaha. A few montha ago. at his home In Livermore, Calif., be came In to find her there Rhe had come from Omaha to see hla baby "Get a load of thia." Mas said "She had eat up all night on a coach train to save pullman tare, and bad packed har own bos lunch to save golna into the diner. She had done all thia to come oat and see us and the baby I took her purse out of her hands, and what do you think she bad? Just enough

to get her back to Omaha, that ia. If she sat up all night again and packed her own lunch " Maxie didn’t look like the Maxie most fieople know as he told me thia story. He didn't sound like the braggart Baer of the aporta pages, either He looked me In the eye. and groped for words, and for once I had the feeling that he | wasn't trying to sell me a bill of ■ goods "! told my aunt right then that she was going home first class, and live first class from now on." h» said "And so are a lot of the others who mean something to me and have lieen kind to me Heli — it's a lot easier to take a punch on the Jaw when you're 31 than it Is to stt up all night In a day coach when you're siity-Gve” Il's to make a little extra money with which to pad out the annuities he has that Maxie is fighting again And for the first '(me since I have known him. and that goes back to the early H»3**'a when he came to New York to fight Ecnle Schaaf in the Garden. Max seems to have what I can heat express as "mental peace." TIR- roaring playboy is gone That is sure What remain* of the fighting equipment that made Baer heavyweight champion of the world will not be known until he get* into the ring with Galento In Jersey City on May 28 To the eye and to the touch. Ma* ia still a tremendous physical specimen There Isn't one ounce of fat on him right now. Moreover, he has a genuine hatred for Ga lento He feel* that the Jersey 1 buffoon, through actions whi*h cannot be described In print, has violated even boxing's curb-level of ethic* “I just want to awing on him once."
