YORK, June 16.—Among other things, I think, Mr. Max Baer in ascending to the heavyweight championship of the world, proved there is such a thing as carrying the stenciled success formula too far. And, of course, you know what that formula consists of. The lastact hero is bom in miserable circumstances. Somewhere in his noble bosom burns the spark of ambition. And so he toils and toils and toils. In the end the gods reward him with riches, a lovely missus who is always out playing bridge, and an office staff which addresses him respectfully as “chief.” a a a a a a NOW Mr. Baer started out all right enough. He was born poor and reared in poverty and squalor. He used to be a wet nurse to pigs on his dad’s farm and he had little time for schooling. Thus, no American youth was better equipped to achieve success in the story book manner. All Mr. Baer had to do to become a powerful figure in the country of his birth, considering his enviable and advantageous start, was to knuckle down to brass tacks (if that is the phrase) and keep the midnight oil burning (if that is the other phrase). He just couldn’t miss. The sky was the limit, whether he tried to out-Lindbergh or not. I happen to be one of those who believe in wall mottoes, old wives’ tales and every word of the commencement day orations of college deans, and so when I say I am deeply grieved at the manner in which Mr. Baer finally arrived at the heavyweight championship of the world, you may be sure I speak from a bleeding, tortured soul. a a a a a a ISAY this because Mr. Baer has violated all the conventions, he has mocked sacred canons, he has scandalized the folk-lore of an honest and God-fearing public. He was born poor, he had little schooling, he labored in the fields; in short, he typified the hope of the nation. And what does Mr. Baer do the first time he gets a clean shirt, a ride to town and three dollars to spend? I ask you again, what does he do? He looks around with impious eyes, takes a deep, warming breath and in a mood much more Rabelaisian than reverent he asks, “How long has this been going on?” Perhaps it is a grave social error to take these simple children of nature out of their character-building environment where pastoral peace and family privation make not only for human understanding, but a gallant, romantic urge to purge the world, though self-sacrifice of all social inequalities.

THERE can be no doubt that Mr. Baer has betrayed the generous importunities of his guiding lights, and I am wondering what effect this is going to have on our younger generation. I have a notion the effect will be anything but soothing to the right thinkers and the better element, who seek to lead the little dears to the perfect life. I have every reason to feel very harshly toward Mr. Baer for the uncouth and ungentlemanly way he treated my pal Camera the other night, thus causing me to be looked upon as quite a mug in the sports writing field; but I can say in all honesty I hold no resentment against him as a fighter. And when I say further that he has no one to blame but himself for whatever consequences that may follow his unpatriotic desertion of the basic principles of rugged individualism, he will know, I hope, that I am simply calling attention to a situation that is fraught with grave danger. a a a a a a 1 THINK it is most reasonable to assume that if Mr. Baer had continued to live the simple life and devoted himself earnestly to developing his mind that he might, with a break or two here and there, achieved a certain solid success in his own community. In time he might even have become the assistant postmaster, the political influence of Mr. Big Jim Farley being what it is. It is indeed a shame that Mr. Baer, at the first invitation, turned his back on this inviting opportunity, which any far-seeing American youth would have been only too happy to embrace. And it is a further shame that he wantonly wasted all the glorious advantages that environment and circumstances placed in his lap. By dint of stem application and conscientious effort Mr. Baer might easily have become a model for the American youth. But what did the silly so and so do? As soon as he learned that there were such things as laughter, brightness and gaiety he became a weakling and fell. aaa a a a \ ND what is the result? Exciting adventures with gorgeous blondes, -TV. amusing moments in night clubs, extended travels in drawing rooms! page one publicity in the metropolitan newspapers, stardom in the films long bookings in vaudeville, the heavyweight championship of the world independent wealth. That’s what the sinful result is, and I say it is deplorable. No wonder the country is in a turmoil. No wonder there is talk of communism No wonder Left Grove has lost his fast ball. No wonder Mae West has turned to reading Barrie. Mark my words. Mr. Baer will rue the day he ever quit feeding those pigs on the farm.

Crews Ready to Settle National Regatta Title More Than 100,000 Expected to Watch Four-Mile Grind Down Hudson; Six Schools Given Chance to Win. by STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 16.—Shortly before dusk this evening seven slender racing shells will streak out over the gray Hudson, starting a girueHmg four-nule grind for America’s most coveted rowing prize—the intercollegiate championship. B

The thirty-sixth annual renewal of the intercollegiates appeared today to be a wide-open race. Six of the seven crews are given a chance to win. From the scarlet blades of Cornell’s rowing giants from Ithaca, heaviest on the water, to the blue-streaked sweeps of Penn’s “pony eight,” it was anybody’s guess. Other Classes Compete More than 100,000 people are expected along the banks of the Hudson on the four-mile stretch from Krum’s Elbow to Blue Point, watching from the banks or riding observation trains. Eighteen crews, representing eight colleges and universities, will compete in the varsity, junior varsity and freshman rowing events. The varsity race is scheduled for 7:45 p. m. (E.D.T.). Those who insist on a betting favorite are inclined to spot California’s tall crew, defending the Challenge cup, whatever edge there is. Defeated once this year by a half-length, the Golden Bears have been the smoothest rowing outfit on the river. Shifts in boating for several crews have dumped the odds, however. Cornell was believed to be out of it a week ago when big Gus Williams was put off the boat. The shift of Frizt Garber, captain of the boat, from stroke No. 6, with Burton Payne brought up from the jayvee shell, has made the Ithacans stronger and smoother. Western Teams Feared The customary western threat will be carried by California and A1 Ulbrickson’s Washington Huskies, who trimmed the Bears in an earlier race. On form these crews have been expected to finish one-two, either w r ay. But veteran rivermen hold the race is not always to the swift. Rough water would make this the greatest free-for-all gamble since 1929, when half the crews on the water were swamped. The remaining eastern threats will be the veteran Tim Ten E yck’s Syracuse boat. Buck Walsh’s ambitious Navy crew and Columbia, which is rated little chance to win unless the other six sank.. The junior varsity race will feature California and Cornell with fast crews, either of which may lower the three-mile course record. Columbia, Navy and Syracuse are also entered in this race. CLARK IN SOUTH BREVARD, N. C., June 16. James C. W. Clark, director of Red Cross life saving in Indianapolis, has enrolled in an advance course at the National Red Cross institute being held here. Swimmers from throughout the country are attending the annual event.

Madison Square Garden Corporation is understood to be involved in the deal. NET PLAY AT CLINTON Leon Tailoring Tennis Team in Nine Match Tilt.

Net teams wishing games with the Leon Tailoring squad are asked to write John E. Kleinhenz, P. O. Box 1241, Indianapolis, or phone Cherry 2730. UNIVERSITY GIRLS TO SHARE HOUSING COSTS Co-Operative Dormitory Will Be at Vermont Institution. By United Press BURLINGTON, Vt., June 16. Co-operative housing is to be introduced at University of Vermont. The Rand House will be used next year by twenty-four girl students who find it necessary to limit living expenses. Each girl in the house will have a definite piece of work to do, the division of labor being determined by such factors as college schedules and experience. The university administration estimates that each co-ed will be able to live for $2 to $2.50 per week, including gas, ice and other accessories.

Helps Grimm Look for ‘Flag’ ' r ill IHi in*. w ■

Charlie Grimm, above, right, seems to be looking into the camera, but he’s gazing out there in the field at the flag pole in the Cubs’ park visioning a National League pennant. The reason for those glances is shown at left—Don Hurst, former Phillies first sacker, who came to the Cubs in a trade for Dolph Camilli, and who will take Grimm’s place in the lineup. Hurst’s batting punch is figured to be just what the. Cubs need.

If Raines Has His Way, Speer May Need Ambulance Tuesday

Two rought and tumble heavyweight aces will “have it out” in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card at Sports Arent, 600 North Pennsylvania street, Tuesday night. The bout brings together Frank Speer, 230-pound Atlanta grappler, and the well known “bad boy” insofar as local mat fans are concerned, and the powerful Dick Raines, 232, the “Texas Tornado.” The encounter is being offered as the “bqd man’s championship.”, Raines is rated the “toughest of the tough” in southwest wrestling circles. Within the past two seasons, he has sent two of his opponents to the hospital. He is of the bone-crushing type and is well versed on all of the rough tactics of the mat. Speer was disqualified for using choking tactics against Joe Savoldi here recently. Andy Rascher, Hoosier star, who scales 210, will oppose Whitie Hewitt, 230, powerful Memphis grappler in the semi-windup. Lou Plummer, former Notre Dame athlete, will meet Jim Parker, New

Dave Mitchell Becomes District Golf Champion

South Grove Star Fires 77 at Meridian Hills to Defeat Dr. Gant of Highland in Playoff. BY DICK MILLER After years of effort to become champion of the Indianapolis District Golf Association, big Dave Mitchell, mighty swatter from South Grove municipal course, captured the title at Meridian Hills yesterday.

Dave defeated Dr. E. W. Gant, veteran Highland golfer, by ten strokes in the eighteen-hole playoff for the district title. They had been tied with 228 totals at the end of the regulation fifty - four - hole championship play Wednesday. Dave scored 77 yesterday, Gant 87. Putting, the thing that had carried Dr. Gant into a tie for the title, was against him yesterday. Putts Are Costly On the first hole Gant found the rough, then a trap and three-putted the green to take a seven. Mitchell took a five. Dr. Gant got one stroke back on the second hole when he chipped dead for one putt and Mitchell missed a foot-and-a-half putt. Gant held on with a great shot from a trap on the third hole, dropped his first putt, and matched his opponent on the fourth hole. The sand and looking up caused him to miss a couple on the fifth to be three strokes down. Mitchell, trying to regain his putting stroke which had caused him grief at Meridian Hills Wednesday, was out in 38, three strokes over par. Gant took 43. Gant Sinks Deuce Gant gained a stroke back on the tenth hole, but immediately lost it on the next. Mitchell three putted No. 12. Gant hit to the edge of the lake on No. 14 and attempted to play it. He incurred penalty strokes and wound up with an eight. He still held on, but a trap cost him on No. 15. The veteran dropped a long putt for a deuce on the short No. 16, but was short with his second shot on No. 17 to be nine strokes down. He made it ten by three-putting the eighteenth hole. Mitchell was steady, but not

Baer Yachting While Others Plan for Him Champ Has Four Possibilities Open; Camera Grieves After ‘Party.’ By L nited Press NEW YORK, June 16.—Max Baer, new heavyweight champion, was yachting on the high seas today with his broker-pal, Leo Friede. Primo Camera was nursing a badly swollen ankle, undergoing X-ray examinations at a New York hospital, and grieving over what friends in Italy were saying about him. But the men behind the guns were chewing pencil stubs up in Madison Square Garden’s inner sanctum, doping out the most profitable way to make use of the California butcher boy’s explosive fists. Possibilities are: 1. A September fight, under Garden auspices, with Walter Neusel of Germany or Steve Hamas in the other corner. 2. An elimination tournament, in which Neusel, Hamas, Max Schmeling. Tommy Loughran, Art Lasky and Ray Impellittiere take part, the winner to meet Baer. 3. The projected SchmelingNeusel fight in Hamburg, Germany, in August, the winner to meet Baer in February. 4. No fight for a year. May Fight for Dempsey The last possibility is as strong as the first three. Baer has a radio contract and a flock of movie offers, and the champion likes movie scenery. Also Ancil Hoffman, Baer’s manager, must be sure the foe will “draw” if Baer is to accept. That is in Baer’s contract with the Garden, which calls for one more fight. It is also intimated Hoffman is anxious to wind up the Garden contract so Baer can fight for Jack Dempsey next summer. Baer met all comers in the admiration brigade yesterday, but slipped out later and was off yachting in the evening. He expects to be away for the week end. His first official act was to arrange for twenty-five suits of clothing “for movies, you know.” Camera gave doctors at the hospital a standup for several hours, while they waited to examine his torn ankle muscles, battered ribs and smashed nose. It developed Primo was “at a party”—which is the way Baer trained for Thursday night’s fight.
