By Joe Williams Meet Baer, Kinjf Kong of Heavies • am Handles German in Easy Fashion mam Schmeling Game and Courageous

NEW YORK, June o.—Gentlemen, I #ive you Max Baer the Kinp Kony of the Kauliflowers. And if I were a prize fighter, I would give him to you for life. I mean to say, I would want no part of him in the ring. In a steaming inferno of summer heat, before 56,000 people in the Yankee Stadium Thursday night, this unbelievable man-brute, a laughing executioner, battered the i uggcd Max Schmeling of Germany into abject submission in ten rounds. With one minute and 51 seconds of tile tenth round gone, Arthur Donovan, the referee, stepped between the two men and mercifully and wisely stopped the uneven struggle. Schmeling had just gotten up from & terrific right-hand knockdown, and had tottered over to the ropes. If the ropes hadn’t been there, he would have tottered further and gradually fallen into collapse. He was in one of those mysterious twilights of the mind where nothing functions but instinct. All that was normal about his brain had disappeared with that blasting punch to the head. As the German hung over the ropes with his weary arms raised high and his glazed eyes blinking in pain, this new strange terror of the ring, this mirthful Mephistopheles, who had been outrageously brutal from the opening gong, stepped back and made a brief, silent gesture, as if to say, “don't you think this has gone far enough?” a a a a a a \[OT since the early days of Dempsey—the Dempsey at Toledo—has the ring seen such a startling character as this 24-year-old giant .Ironi the little hamlet of Livermore, Calif. He is more like Tarzan than that lurid fictional character of tire wilds himself. An incredible contrast of savagery, good humor and pity. The King brought into play a blunt, fnlless technic of the sort that must have been popular back in the stone age when hairy Neanderthals sat. shoulder to shoulder with stodgy dinosaurs in the waste lands and watched the heavyweights of that period do unto death one after another. Behind every punch was a lethal purpose. If the punch happened to be legitimate that v.as all right. If it didn't, it was just a slight social error. Repeatedly he paused to smile his apology after backhanding, butting and hitting low. To him a prize fight is rowdv business, and should be conducted as such. a a a a a a A” 1 0ING into the ring with a weight advantage of 13 U pounds and a VJ" much greater reach, the King readily demonstrated his physical superiority. Hr handled the German in the clinches as if he were one of Mr. Morgan's migdets. It was astonishing to see him take Schmeling with one arm and shove him clear across the ring. In relative power, a child was battling a man. At no time was there any serious doubt as to the outcome. With the first flurry of punches in the opening round, it was clearly evident that Baer was the harder hitter, the stronger man and the more adventurous. It was a question only of whether he would continue to be serious, and whether he could stand up under the scorching blasts of the heat. By the second round another vital point was established, which was quite reassuring to the Californian’s followers. He took Schmeling's best shots to the chin and smiled back at him patronizingly. You could almost hear him sneer, “Is that your knockout punch?” To all practical intents, the fight was over then. Nothing is so discouraging to a fighter as to see his mightiest blows roll harmlessly off an opponent's chin. a a a tt u tt SCHMELING was in a bad way when the chimes ended the second round. He was dazed and hurt as he backed away from as vicious a bombardment of fists as has been seen in the ring since the night Firpo and Dempsey wrote a classic chapter in the red history of refined slaughter. Baer was violating all the law's of scientific fighting—to him there is no such word as boxing in the bristling lexicon of youth. He was throwing his right hand from the center field bleachers. He was missing often but he w'as landing with too much frequency for the physical comfort of the German or the mental calm of his admirers. I credited Baer with the first four rounds. In the fifth he slow'ed up on instructions from his corner to pace himself, and Schmeling w : on the round, which with the seventh, was the only round he won. Baer began to turn it on again in the eighth. From then on it was merely a question of how' much punishment the German could take. To his credit he took it all gamely and without a whimper. He came home on his shield like a real warrior.

count of nine in the tenth round. The German got up but he was so badly beaten the referee stopped the uneven struggle. Below you see Baer (right) and Schmeling mixing it in the first round.

Grube missed Appling’s throw. Johnny Stone made a Detroit homer in the ninth to tie the score. Philadelphia downed New York, 14 to 10, as Jimmy Foxx made three Athletic home runs, against one each by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the Yanks. Ruth leads the home run procession with twelve while Gehrig and Foxx are tied for second honors with eleven each. It was the A’s first victory of the season over the Yanks, and although Foxx’ homers, all off Lefty Gomez, accounted for five runs, the Macks were forced to blast out six runs off Wiley Moore in the eighth inning to win. St. Louis beat Cleveland, 5 to 3, after Jack Crouch’s homer wtih two mates aboard off Clint Brown featured a four-run Brownie burst in the fourth. In the National League, the leading New York Giants nosed out the Phillies, 7 to 6, after home runs by Mel Ott, Homer Peel and Bill Terry accounted for six runs. Carl Hub-

Indians Extend A ictory March to Twelve in Stirring Slab Conflict

Burwel! Has Better of Shores in Fast, Close Tilt: Sigafoos Continues Batting Streak: Millers Here for Twin Bill This Evening. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Red Killefer's Indians made a clean sweep of the five-game series with the Kansas City Blues, stretched t.beir - victory march to twelve straight without a defeat, Frank Sigafoc* rattled the scoreboard with a two-base hit and the veteran Bill Burwell pitched marvelous ball—all this entertainment was included in the swift struggle staged at Perry stadium Thursday night. The score was 3 to 1 and the triumph enabled the Tribesmen to climb within one game and a half of first place. The pitching of Bill Shores, Kansas City, also was high class and the contest required only one hour twenty-eight minutes. Burwell held the Blues to six hits and Shores kept the Tribe hit total down to five. The Cowboys were desperate to win and break their losing streak, and the Indians refused to bend, a situation that resulted in one of the most interesting games of the season.

When Frank Sigafos doubled in | the third round it marked the | twenty-sixth consecutive game in j which he hit safely, and on top of that he played bang-up ball at second, accepting ten chances with- J out a bobble, some being of the spectacular variety. The slugger is batting .423 and is the talk of the American Association. Champ Millers Invade A twilight-moonlight doubleheader, both games for the price of one admission, will see the Indians tangled up with the champion Minneapolis Millers this evening, and both battles will be free to women fans. The first tilt will start at 5 p. m. and the second under the lights at 8:15. It will be the biggest ‘ladies’ night” of the year, and with the champs serving as the visiting attraction, it is believed the largest crowd of the season will turn out. Indianapolis was first to score Thursday night, and a walk paved the way. Wingard drew a free ticket as first up in the second, Chapman sacrificed, Wingard advanced to third when Cronin made a back-handed stop and threw’ out Angley and Bedore beat out a hit over second, Wingard scoring. Ray White Triples In the third the Tribe boosted its run total to three by staging a rally good for two markers. Ray White tripled to right center and crossed the plate on Callaghan’s single with what proved to be the winning run. Cooney sacrificed and Sigafoos smacked the sphere against the scoreboard in left center for two bases, Callaghan scoring. ‘“Siggie” was caught napping off second and wingard's fly ended the rally. The Blues got their lone run in the fourth when Mosolf led off with a triple and scored on Schino’s long fly to Chapman. The scoring for the night was over and the fracas settled down to a tight mound scrap between Burwell and Shores. The fans were on the anxious seat

Trips Ud Chisox ELON HOGSETT. the redskin pitcher with the Detroit Tigers, was responsible Thursday for the first Chicago White Sox defeat in eight games. He pitched two innings in a relief role, singled in the eleventh inning and scored the winning run.

in the sixth, however, and Manager Killefer was “pacing the deck” in the dugout. Grigsby opened the frame by reaching first on White's wide throw and the dangerous Mosolf was up. He forced Grigsby at second and Schino drew a pass. Mosolf and Schino moved up on Taylor's out and Burwell elected to give Cronin a free ticket to first, filling the bases. Wilburn then connected for what looked like a safe blow’, but Sigafoos went back on the grass, snared the pellet with one hand and tossed to Wingard for the side-retiring out. was a “whisker escape.” Angley Banished Tom Angley was banished by Umpire Donnelly in the fourth and Riddle went in and finished out the backstop duties. It looked as though Tom had beaten out a hard smash that was deflected by Shores to Cronin and when the umpire said “out,” Angley took exceptions and drew a ticket to th? clubhouse, house. The Indians launched their winning drive on Decoration day at Columbus by taking a double-header and their record since is twelve victories and one tie in thirteen starts.
