When you set out to pick the winner of any boxing con I eat, there ■re six points to keep h» mind — punch, ability to take a punch, boxing ability, speed, physical condition and incentive. Several of thoee factors are so Integrated that It is often hard to distinguiah among them, but generally speaking they are aa accurate measuring gauge* aa can be found. Buddy Baer I* endowed with four of the** aix quallflcatlcnia for a good, and perhap* great, tighter. He ha* the punch, the capacity for enduring punishment, a superb body and all the heart and Wil to light that any boxer can use. But he weighs 245 pounds and stands six feet, alx inches high, and thia I very size coat* him the coordination that makes for speed and akiil. It to an axiom hi boxing that a good, healthy belt to the chin ■peaks loader than the combined voice* of all the expert* in circulation. Buddy proved that last May when he knocked Louis through the rope*. But. In the end. hl* big body was too vulnerable for survival; Buddy couldn't protect hla vast territory agal n a t enemy thrust*. A* tor Louis, ha la a little more doubtful aa a factor. He can hit harder and be c* B hit faster. He la a better boxer and he Is In equally good condition. The moot points are bls ability to take It and hla

incentive to win At least they are supposed to Ire hl* Weak spots, if any. However, on this I'm forced to dissent vigorously. Over the long at retch. Units Is the flnest fighter I have ever seen. Th-y say he doesn't like punish ment Well, who does? He was knocked out by Max Schmellng but he climbed back from nevernever land agahist Tony Galento. Jim Braddock and Buddy himself, and be went on to win by a knockout. To me, hi* physical courage is unquestioned Louis I* popularly supposed to be rm the decline as a fighting nmcliine True. h<- had (rouble with a few of hi* recent opponents- but he knocked them out and what more call be asked'* If he has lost his punch. It wasn't evident the night he poled Lon Nova. If l-otils is slipping, it is in some other direction than down Then there's the matter of Incentive. Did you ever see a champion. no matter how wealthy, surrender hla crown without a struggle* Remember the Barney Hom who was hit by Henry Armstrong with everything but the time keeper'* mallet or the same Armstrong In his fade-out with Fritzie Zivic? Or even the over-sized clown. Primo Camera, against Max Baer? No. Louis has the Incentive as long a« he in champion and It to with genuine regret that I offer my guess as to what will happen when the bell sends the two boy* together tonight. If Icouls must lie beaten. I would like to aee Buddy (mat him. Buddy is game, sincere, modest and deserving, and he would be a credit to sport* a* champion as he Is a credit now But iny guess Is thia: Joe Ixtuto will knock him out in the third minute of the second round after smashing hl* big, helpless body at will. Buddy may get up once, twice or three times and he may tie on bin feet when the referee calls a halt. But I hope not. I wish Baer weren't aa game as he la. and I hope lx>ui* ends it a* painlessly ae he can.
