BAER TO FIGHT LOUIS FRIDAY Buddy Baer To Meet Champion In Washington I’riday Sight Washington May 22 <U.R> -Will big Buddy Baer dare go through with his professed role of family av< tiger when Joe laiui* confront* i him? < That's the all important question In Washington's first heavyweight title fight tomorrow night at Griffith stadium where some 4**.*hh* fans are expected to watch laiuis make his 17th crown defense against Buddy, th- California giant. Baer says he i* ready physically and mentally to tome out at the i first gong tonsing dynamite- ready to avenge the terrible beating laiuls gave hi* older brother Maxie back (in 1933. Remember, that was the night Maxie took the count on one knee and was accused of quitting. Whether or not Buddy is In earnest he has gone through the .noi tlons of preparing for heroics. The I towering leather-tosser of Sacrai mento. Calif., has pared down to i the lowest weight of hl* career-— 237 pounds after a doubl- -barreled training seige. That'* what he weighed yesterday at his Olney. Md.. camp, as he finished boxing four round* again*! two *parinates. He had trained a month for this scrap, starling conditioning only io days after stopping Tony Galento. One can appreciate the achievement ot this 237 ; pounds only when one realizes that Buddy packed 2XO pounds on hl* six foot six-and-one-half-Uich beam when he became a professional back In 1934 the same year that Louis launched hi* career and the same y--ar that boxing was legalized In the District of Columbia. This 237 will give the challenger a weight advantage of about 35 pounds over the Detroit Negro who registered 202 yesterday after finishing boxing tl.ree rounds against three sparmate* at the Riverside stadium. This pull In lhe weights and Ruddy's cries for vengeance mean nothing to the betting men. They continue to quote bomber Joe 10-to-t favorite to win tomorrow night's 15-round brawl.
