By Joe Williams u n sx Brown Made Bad Approach Created ‘Battle of Bums’ Baer Didn’t Deserve Help

NEW YORK. June 9—lt has been decided, and quite sensibly, I think, that Max Baer and Primo Camera are to fight on the date orginally set for their battle, which happens to be June the 14th. My friend, Mr. Bill Brown, was over-ruled by his two colleagues on the boxing commission in his efforts to postpone or cancel the fight on the ground that Baer w'as not physically fit. This was one time Mr. Brown was wrong. What I mean to say is that he was wrong in his approach, to say nothing of his chip shot and his putt. He may have been correct in his estimate of Baer s fitness, but I believe he was quite out of order in attempting to sidetrack the whole show. u n Os course Mr. Brown stood on solid ground when he spoke in the interest of the ticket buyers. His argument that when a gent pays twen-ty-five smackers to see a fight he is entitled to see a fight, is unassailable. He might have added that when a gent pays twenty-five smackers to see a fight he is also entitles to a mental examination. n tt u u n BUT there were other factors apparently which Mr. Brown did not stop to consider. They may be listed in this order: (1) The promotional preparation of Madison Square Garden. (2) The hundreds of persons who had made specific plans to visit the metropolis for the fight. (3) The earnest efforts Camera had made to be on edge on the schedule date. (4) The jesting manner in which Baer had gone about his training. Not only did Mr. Brown scoff at the physical condition of Baer, but he called him a bum—“the biggest bum I ever saw in the ring.” This leads to interesting speculations. What if Baer should beat Camera—what would that make Camera? Patently it would make him a much bigger bum. Indeed, it would make him the biggest, biggest bum that anybody ever saw in the ring. And so what are we to look forward to? We are to look forward to the battle of the bums. And wouldn’t that be exciting! tt tt tt tt tt tt AS I stated earlier, Mr. Brown in demanding a postponement of the fight was helping a fighter who doesn’t deserve any help. And of course I am referring to Baer. He knew when he signed the papers that he had to be in shape on a certain date. If he fails to get in shape that was his own fault and he should be forced to suffer the consequences. Three physicians examined Baer yesterday, and they all pronounced him all right, ready to go. This should be sufficient for the records anyway. I don’t think Mr. Brown or either of the other commissioners should be expected to rule upon the fighting capabilities of any fighter —and certainly not after the commissioners have certified the match, as was done in this case, three months ago. u u tt IF Baer is a bum he is a bum. That’s all there is to that. And if the commissioners are just finding it out. granted that it is a fact, they should conceal their dumbness. . The time to have determined Baer’s ability as a challenger for the heavyweight championship was when the papers were signed, not many weeks later. At the same time I agree with Mr. Brown when he says that just because three physicians pronounce a fighter fit it doesn’t necessarily follow that the man is capable of meeting a particular stern test. I am glad he had the courage to bring up the Ernie Schaaf incident at the meeting of the commissioners yesterday. Schaaf was pronounced fit by the examining physicians, and he was killed by a light left jab to the head.

Baer Packs Potent Punch Dempsey Would Have Disliked Running Into His Right; Is Teaching Maxie to Shoot Left.

BY JACK DEMPSEY •jj <As Told to Harry Grayson) YORK, June r . —x have read and heard that Primo Camera will n prove too big and strong for Max Baer in their fifteen round work championship contest in the Garden bowl on June 14. That is the belie: of some reputable critics, whose opinions I respect.

They may be right, but I have a somewhat different angle, and it came through experience. I believe that a heavyweight who scales close to 190 pounds, is formed proportionately, with good legs to carry him, a potent punch, a wise defense and a fighting heart, comes close to being the ideal man for the division. Baer stands 6 feet 2 1 ? inches and will scale about 205 pounds. Camera towers 6 feet 5 3 i inches and will come in at about 260. nan CERTAINLY Baer can hit. He packs a potent punch in both hands. I would have disliked to have bumped into that starboard wallop of his when I was defending the title. I have advised Baer to make more use of his left, and am positive that you will note that he has improved in the use of that weapon when he opens fire on Camera. If a weakness was shown by Baer in the Max Schmeling scrap, it was his failure to put his jarring left into more powerful and busier execution. In my first article, I predicted that Baer would prove himself stronger physically than Camera. I consider the challenger one of the most powerful men in the history of the class. Os course, I did not see Jim Jeffries at his peak, but oldtimers tell me Baer rivals the boilermaker in his heydey in robustness, endurance and ability to travel the route. nan THERE have been bigger champions than my idea of the perfectly porportioned one. Jeffries weighed 220 pounds. When a fighter scales much more than 200 pounds he ordinarily* presents a large and ready target. Generally it is advisable for him to do something to overcome this handicap. Jess Willard kept most of his opponents at a safe distance a good share of the time with a long, stiff left jab. Jeffries adopted his famous crouch, and it was this that made him appear even ungainly, as many oldsters declare he was. While the crouch made Jeff more difficult to hit,, it also made it harder for him to maneuver around, but the boilermaker got the most out of his crouching style. He was an exceptionally fast boxer with a jibboom left.

JACK JOHNSON weighed more than 200 pounds. The Negro was a boxing genius. He was a master on the defense, a natural fighter who came up from the lower divisions and, through hard work and constant study, developed himself into a titleholder. I believe Johnson was one of the greatest heavyweight champions we have had. Incidentally, he still is around New York with that famous golden smile, telling folks what a great warrior Baer is. Johnson saw Baer stop Schmeling and came away with a wholesome respect for the curly-haired clouter’s power. I know about Willard from experience. It was from the Kansan that I took the championship in three rounds under that never-to-be-forgotten blazing sun at Toledo on July 4, 1919. Wilard was a huge champion, but I had had experience with ring giants, and had decided that Bob Fitzsimmons was right that the bigger they came, the harder they fell. No, I do not believe that Camera’s tremendous size is a factor to be set down against Baer, who scarcely could double for a Lilliputian himself, MILBURN PICKS POLOISTS By Vnite4 Prp*t NEW YORK, June 7.—Devereaux Milburn, former polo great, has been made chairman of the selection committee which will choose the east’s team for the 1934 eastwest series at Meadowbrook.

Raines and Slagel Sign for Tuesday Mat Tussle Bone Crushers Matched in Support of Feature StrackMcMillen Heavyweight Wrestling Bout.

Two powerful heavyweight wrestlers who are rated on a par when it comes to dishing out bone-crushing tactics and other forms of rough and tumble maneuvers, have been signed to come to grips in one of the supporting bouts on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card at Sports Arena next. Tuesday night.

The huskies are Dick Raines, 232pound “Texas Tornado,” and Sol (Rubber Man) Slagel, 230, the big Topeka (Kan.) grappler. They are expected to stir up an unusual amount of action when they clash. The top bout Tuesday brings together two nationally known heavyweights, Jim McMillen, Chicago, and Charlie Strack, Boston. McMillen is rated among the first five best grapplers in the game, while Strack was twice a member of the Yankee mat team in the Olympic games and twice held the amateur heavyweight wrist ling championship of America.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1934

rounds. Low scoring of the thirty-eighth National has been done by Cruickshank, the wee Scot. Cruickshank led Sarazen by three strokes after two rounds had been played. Cruickshank missed par by a single stroke on each of the first two rounds, and similarly brilliant performances today will all but certainly make him the 1934 champion. For Merion, despite its seemingly low par of 70, is one of the toughest courses that ever entertained the National Open. As proof it may be noted that although virtually all of America’s stars are competing, only once, by Jimmy Hines of Great River, N. Y„ has par been equalled.

As they started off today, the players most likely to catch Cruickshank were Sarazen, three strokes back with 145; Wiffy Cox of Brooklyn’s Dyker Beach public links layout, and Billy Burke, Morton Smith, Leo Diegel and Rodney Bliss Jr., with 147’s. Cox often has been up with the first ten in the National, and if his nerves allow, he is by no means an unlikely champion. Burke won the title in a seventy-two-hole playoff which was decided on the final green at Toledo in .1931. Smith is a young veteran who has often threatened. Diegel, like Cox, has often been near the top, and also like Wiffy, has a temperament which doesn’t appear at its best under pressure. Bliss, like Johnny Goodman, defending champion, is an amateur from Omaha. He "was star of the Cornell university golf team. Gene Sarazen thinks Bliss is a coming champion, a player with a natural swing and a fighting heart. One of the prime betting favorites went out of the tournament by disqualification. He is Craig Wood, the strikingly handsome pro from the Hollywood Club of Deal, N. J. Johnny Goodman, defending champion, was virtually certain of abdication. He followed a first-round total of 76 with a 77 and had a total of 153, eleven strokes back of Cruickshank. This development was not surprising for Goodman played poorly in practice and he seemed doomed to the dethronement which today was imminent. The five Hoosier state players were eliminated. Their scores for the first two rounds, thirty-six holes, follow:

He has been given a real test in his first bout. He is matched with Floyd Marshall, husky Arizona grappler.

Indiana University Takes Central Collegiate Meet Fuqua, Hornbostel Star; Ray Sears of Butler Beats Ottey in Most Thrilling Race of Event. BY WILLIAM A. MUELLER United Press Staff Correspondent

MILWAUKEE, June 9.—lndiana university’s great track and field team, state champions, added the Central Intercollegiate championships to its list last night under the floodlights of Marquette university stadium.

More than 300 athletes from thir-ty-eight schools competed in the colorful event. Indiana, led by Fuqua, middle-dis-tance star, finished with 32 points and won the meet when its two-mile team breezed home to victory in the last event on the program. The Hoosiers won three other firsts and four thirds. Marquette university placed second with Captain Ralph Metcalfe, speedy Negro sprinter, taking firsts in the 100 and 220-yard dashes and running in the anchor position in the 880-yard relay. Marquette had 30 points, followed by Michigan State with 24 and Notre Dame with 22%. Indiana’s individual stars, in ad-

That Eighth Inning Jinx! It Gets the Tribesmen Again Despite the Fact Seventeen Toledo Hens Strike Out.

BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The pesky Mud Hens beat the Indians under the Perry stadium lights last night, 7 to 6, in ten innings, and it was the seventh time this season that Steven ’Neill’s pastimers finished on the long end when opposing he Hoosiers. The rivals have met ten times. It was the eighth-inning again that ruined the Tribesmen as a lead of 4 to l was swept away when the visitors rallied for five runs.

The records sow that the .eighth stanza has been poison to the Indians since the new campaign got under way, several leads and games having been lost in that round. In the series opener here last night Jack Tising struck out twelve men in seven rounds, but he couldn’t make the eighth-inning “hump” and folded up as the Hens powdered the pellet for six hits and five runs. Parade of Pitchers Other Tribe pitchers employed jiled up five additional strikeouts, making a total of seventeen. Miljus fanned two and Chamberlain breezed three. It’s probably a record for a team to win in the face of seventeen strikeouts. Total hits were thirteen for Toledo and fourteen for Indianapolis. Lawson, Doljack, Larkin and Sewell pitched for the visitors. The teams will meet in the second tilt of the series tonight at 8:15 and the Hens will wind up their Stay in a double-header with the Indians tomorrow afternoon with action starting at 2 o’clock. Pittsburgh Here Monday The Pittsburgh Pirates will stop off in Indianapolis Monday afternoon for an exhibition with Red Killefer’s pastimers. The Columbus Red Birds wil linvade the stadium Tuesday and their series will open with a twilight-moonlight bargain attraction, first conflict at 4:45 and the second under the lights at 8:15. both for the price of one admisison.

Seven Central meet records were bettered, five of them in the afternoon preliminaries. The most exciting, finish of the meet for the nearly 10.000 spectators came in the two-mile run. Sears of Butler started his sprint at the last lap after Ottey, Michigan State Olympic performer, had been leading by more than five yards when he broke the tape. Wisconsin was fifth in total points and Miami university sixth.

A. A. BALL CLUB MAY QUIT TOLEDO Team Not Given Support It Deserves, Says Hickey. By United Press CHICAGO, June C.— The Toledo franchise of the American Association baseball league will be moved out of that city “unless fans there get behind the club and give it the support it deserves,” it was announced today by President Thomas J. Hickey of the association, after a conference with President Waldo Shank of the Toledo club. Hickey said he "s going to St Paul tonight to confer on the possibility of removing that city’s franchise to Peoria, 111. after which he will go to Toledo to investigate the situation there. The association president was high in his praise of the officers of the Toledo club, none of whom receives a salary, he said. “The baseball club is not in any financial difficulty,” he continued, “and could carry on indefinitely, but I do not feel that we should ask them to continue to operate this baseball club without more cooperation from the citizens of Toledo. “Unless the fans get behind this club and give it the support it is entitled to, it will simply mean that the franchise wil lbe moved out.”

Heinlein, Gentry Battle in Final of Times Tourney

Schoolboy Golfers Meet for Title After Winning by Closest Margins in Semi-Finals. Two young high school links stars, Louis Heinlein of Cathedral and Paul Genii y of Tech, battled today in a thirty-six-hole match over Coffin municipal course, for the ninth annual Indianapolis Times inter-

scholastic golf championship. The two won thrilling eighteenhole semi-final matches yesterday afternoon to enter the finals. Heinlein paced a field of nearly 150 in the qualifying round Wednesday by shooting the difficult course in 72, even par. Gentry was close behind with a 74, tieing for second medalist honors.

Heinlein, who graduated from Cathedral this week, has taken part in other Times tournaments. He is a brother of Bill Heinlein, golf pro and former state amateur champion. Bill is the only two-time champion of the annual Times event. Louis caddied for Bill when the latter won in 1928 and 1929. (Sentry, a junior at Tech, has been medalist in previous Times tourneys, but never before has been able to advance far in match play. He eliminated three schoolmates in reaching the final of the present meet. In the semi-final yesterday he was forced to go an extra hole to eliminate Clayton Nichols, Manual, 1 up. Heinlein was carried right up to the last hole in his semi-final match with John David, Shortridge, before winning, 2 up. The big upset of the tournament came in the quarter-finals yesterday morning when Nichols defeated the defending champion, Dick McCreary, Shortridge, 4 and 3.

Board Denies < Duray’s Race Rule Protest Cummings Given Clear Claim to First Prize Money. ‘‘Wild Bill” Cummings of Indianapolis held a clear title today to first place money for winning the 500-mile Memorial day race. An appeal by Leon Duray, whose car finished second, was denied late yesterday by the A. A. A. contest board. Seven members of the board, constituting a quorum, sat at the meeting. They heard testimony of the most important principals directly involved and then upheld an earlier decision of the race stewards clearing Cummings. Cummings is expected to receive first place money of $29,075 immediately. Duray also will be given second place prize of $14,250. Both amounts had been held up by the Speedway corporation. Duray’s complaint charged that Cummings gained enough time during a display of the yellow (slow down) flag to nose out Mauri Rose, driving Duray’s car. The board ruled that all cars obeyed the yellow flag at the starter’s bridge and that a yellow flag displayed at another point on the track did not require a reduction of speed throughout the lap. Duray said he was considering taking the case to a civil court. The official statement signed by eight members of the contest board concerning the appeal of Duray from the decision of the stewards of the race, follows: ■ In his appeal, Mr, Duray, whose car. No. 9, driven by Mauri Rose, was placed second by the stewards, while M. J. Boyle's car. No. 7, driven by William Cummings, was placed first, contended that his car should be placed first because the Bovle car had passed other cars on the track in violation of A. A. A. rules while yellow caution flags were displayed. The evidence establishes the fact that at only one period during the running of the race, was the yellow flag displayed under the direction of the official starter, as required by Rule 246. This was for a period from 28:05.84. after the beginning of the race, until 36.59.23, during which time the entire field of contestants reduced pace, and during which time car No. 7, driven by Cummings, did not better its relative position with regard to car No. 9, the Duray entry, driven by Rose. Earlier in the race, because of wrecked cars on the track, a flagman at that point gave the yellow flag signal for cars to proceed with caution and reduce pace m that zone, and the official record shows that all cars obeyed that local signal, but immediately on passing that local danger zone, increased pace over the remainder of the track that carried green flag signals. The decision of the contest board is that the appeal be denied.
