Giants Hand Pirates Seventh Defeat in Eight Games After O’Doul Homers With Trio On Dean Boys Win Double-Header for Cards; Klein Poles Eleventh-Inning Four-Bagger to Give Cubs Win; Senators Lose; Yanks Break Even. BY THEON WRIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 18.—The western tour of the league-leading Giants, which was marked off as the proper time to put the champions out of office, has thus far proved a bust for everybody but the Giants.

After taking three out of four from the Reds, the Giants moved into Pittsburgh and fattened their average yesterday for the second time in two days, beating the Pirates, 9-3. It marked the seventh defeat the Pirates have experienced in the last eight starts. And it furthermore marked the third game in a row in which the Pirates have left ten or more mates stranded on bases. Pittsburgh rang up ten hits on Joe Bowman, Hi Bell and Ad Luque, only one less than the Giants got, but they were too far apart to be effective. Bell Pitches Win Frank O'Doul, Giant pinch hitter, neutralized a whole matinee of hitting by Pittsburgh when he lofted one into the left field balcony in the sixth and herded three pals home. Bell, who relieved Bowman, guided the Giants in. The brothers Dean of St. Louis, chalked up two more on their list, making it seventeen for and one against, as they knocked off the Phillies twice. Paul, the younger, shut out the Phils in the opener for his eighth straight win, 6-0. The Cards trailed in the afternoon until the seventh, when they grouped a double, two singles for three runs. Darkness halted the game in the eighth, the Cards winning, 7-5. Dizzy Dean scored his ninth win of the year. He went in as a relief hurler in the seventh. Chuck Klein poled out his seventeenth home run in the eleventh inning at Chicago, and the Cubs won, 3-2, over the Braves, splitting the day, as the Bostonians had collared the first game, 4-2. Fred Frankhouse chalked up his tenth win for the Braves in the first game. Dodgers Take Two Brooklyn rallied twice in the ninth for a double killing in Cincinnati. Paul Derringer walked Boyle to force in the final run in the second game after Joe Stripp and A1 Lopez had pumped in two. The Dodgers won. 9-7, after taking the opener, 4-2, when Len Koenecke tripled with two aboard in the ninth. New York and Detroit broke even, the Yanks winning the first, 3-2, behind Lefty Gomez. Hank Greenberg’s homer in eighth boosted one over to help the Tigers win the nightcap, 5-2. Monte Pearson headed off the Washington streak, dropping the champions in third place when he turned in a 8-5 win for Cleveland. He passed eight and gave nine hits, but was strong in tough spots. The Browns won the opener against the Boston Red Sox, Frank Bejma’s homer in the seventh clinching the game, 10-7. St. Louis dropped the nightcap. 6-2. The game was called at the end of the sixth, Sunday law. Eric McNair rammed one of Milt Gaston's slants through short to score two mates in the seventh against the Chicago White Sox, and Philadelphia won in the ninth, 3-2. Johnny Marcum won for the Athletics, allowing only three hits while Gaston gave but four.

Headed Back to Wesleyan

I jjMM

Tj'RITZ MACKEY (above), for the last two years head football coach and director of physical education at Butler university, will return to Ohio Wesleyan next fall, where he was connected before taking the local post. Mackey learned he was not to be given a contract for 1934-35 several weeks ago, at which time it was rumored that H. Walden (Wally) Middlesworth, city recreation director, and former Butler athletic star, would succeed him. To date Middlesworth has not been signed. He coached at Butler and at Indiana university after graduation. Back at Ohio Wesleyan, Mackey will serve as assistant football coach, as well as freshman basketball and baseball coach. He will head the professional teachers’ training course. Since Middlesworth has not been engaged by Butler, there is some feeling on the campus that Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle, athletic director and basketball coach, might also be called upon to handle the gridiron mentorship.

Baer , Timid School Boy, Becomes Killer in Ring Champ’s First Fight Was at Dance Hall With Youth Who Accused Him of Stealing Wine. *

QAN FRANCISCO, June 18.—Fifteen years or more ago the ScotchkJ Irish mother of Max Adelbert Baer feared her black-haired son would grow up to be a “sissy.” The fears of Mrs. Nora Baer seemed well grounded. The lads in Durango. Colo., delighted in chasing Maxie home from school. None of them ever licked him. They couldn’t catch him Young Maxie was scared and felt he was running for his life

Maxie Baer, who was born in Omaha, Neb., on Feb. 11, 1909, now is heavyweight champion of all the world. And in Durango, Colo., there are no doubt young men running hardware stores, barber shops, or engaged in other prosaic professions, who mutter prayers of thanksgiving that they couldn’t catch up with Mrs. Baer’s fraidy-cat offspring. u n tt BY a gradual evolution, the peaceful young Baer became the killer of the ring—the snarling, grinning, clowning two-fisted hitter who gave fifty-four pounds to Primo Camera and hammered the Italian champion before fifty thousand fans in Madison Square Garden bowl last Thursday night. Plenty of water ran under the bridge from the Durango era to Madison Square Garden bowl. The “sissy” school kid became a prizefighter, movie actor, crooner and lover. He made thousands of dollars and spent them. He became a potent figure in the world of sport —and an enigma to his family and his backers. Max Baer, the fighter, took form on the hog ranch of his father, Jacob Baer, in Livermore, Cal., to which town his family moved from Colorado when Max was 10 years old. He finished grade school and was enrolled as a freshman in high school. Max couldn’t stand the schoolroom. The only thing Papa Jacob could do was to put Max to work on the hog ranch. “He worked well,” said Jacob Baer. “He obeyed me then, although he doesn’t now. Sometimes he worked from 4 o’clock, in the morning until 9 or 10 at night. He killed pigs and delivered them from the ranch. One time he dug in a gravel pit for sixteen hours.” u u BAER was living in Livermore when he had his first fight. He was 20 years old. It was outside a dance hall and a bottle of wine was the cause. A youth accused Max of stealing a bottle of wine from his automobile. Whether Maxie was guilty or innocent hardly matters. What is important is that the wine owner struck Baer in the face, then lunged at him and they both went down. Max asked his opponent to get up and fight. The night owl citizens of Livermore formed a ring and saw $500,000 worth of Baer fight for nothing. Witnesses say Maxie laughed his crazy laugh and swung his wild right fist. The wine owner had the misfortune to stop the blow with his chin. He was out cold for a long time and from that moment Max

France’s Team Is Eliminated in Davis Play Australians Hand French First Zone Defeat in Ten Years. By United Press PARIS, June 18.-r-Tennis in France reached anew low today when the hitherto brilliant French netmen were eliminated from Davis cup play by the Australian team in the European zone semi-finals. Jack Crawford, ace of the squad from “down under,” clinched the series for Australia by beating the French southpaw, Christian Boussus, in the third singles match, 2-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-0. Crawford's triumph marked the third Australian match victory against one for France. It was the first time in ten years that a French team failed to reach the challenge round. In 1933, France lost the historic tennis trophy to England after holding it for seven successive years. Crawford and Boussus took the court with Australia holding a two-to-one match lead. Yesterday Crawford and young Adrian Quist turned back the veteran Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon. Vivian MacGrath beat Bousses in one of the opening singles Saturday, while young Andre Merlin of France upset Crawford. Australia earned the right to meet Czechoslovakia in the European zone final. The winner will meet the United States for a chance at England. FIGHT IS POSTPONED By Times Special MILWAUKEE. June 18.—A scheduled fight between Dave Maier, Milwaukee, and Al Stillman, St. Louis, light heavyweights, here tonight has been postponed indefinitely.

BY RONALD WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent

Baer was fearless and, in his opinion, the best fighter in the world. He decided at once to become a prize fighter, nun 'VT’OUNG BAER set up a sandbag in his yard and punched it. His mother, who always wanted him to fight, encouraged him. Jacob Baer did not want his son to battle, but finally was won over. He staked Max to S2OO for boxing togs and a course in Jimmy Duffy’s gymnasium in Oakland. “You might as well learn to do it right, If you are going to do it at all,” said crafty Jacob Baer, who is of German, French and Jewish extraction. On June 16, 1929, an obscure Indian named Chief Caribou had the honor of testing for the first time in public battle the technique of the future champion. Baer and Caribou were signed forfour rounds in Stockton, Cal. Maxie was typical in this fight. He danced up and down in his dressing room and yelled through the thin walls to the amazed Caribou—telling the poor Indian all of the terrible things that soon would happen to him. The chief was down three times in the first round and three times in the second. The third time he stayed down.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HUGE BALLOON GROOMED FOR STRATOSPHERE 200 Men Rush Preparations for Scientific Hop by Army Fliers. By United Press RAPID CITY, S. D., June 18.— Preparations for man’s most ambitious attempt to explore the stratosphere moved forward rapidly today. In the sheltered Black Hills bowl from which two army officers will take off in the-biggest balloon ever manufactured in an effort to ascend fifteen miles or more above the earth, some 200 men are working feverishly to make ready for the flight. Already on the ground are Major William A. Kepner and Captain A. W. Stevens, respectively pilot and scientific observer for the ascent. Bag to Hold Hydrogen En route here by truck from Dayton, 0., where it was manufactured, is the huge gas bag, designed to hold 3,000,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas. When inflated the gas bag will tower upward about 300 feet from the ground, as high as a twenty-seven-story office building. This great bag, filled with the highly inflammable hydrogen gas, which possesses greater lifting power than helium, will lift an eleven-foot gondola, carrying almost a ton of scientific instruments. The gondola, which is air tight and will carry oxygen tanks to supply a breathable atmosphere for the two army men, already is here. No Smoking Allowed The sheltered bowl, surrounded by hills about 500 feet high to protect the balloon from vagrant winds at the takeoff, is carefully policed as the work goes forward. No one smokes or even carries cigarets or matches, lest some carelessness ignite the 1,500 tanks of hydrogen gas, carefull stored in a log shelter. Outsiders get no nearer than the rim of the seven-acre bowl. Date for the takeoff, originally scheduled about June 15, is still indefinite, but it appears unlikely all could be made ready before about July 1. Numerous tests remain to be made. INDIANA TAX SOCIETY GIVES ANNUAL REPORT “Avoid Too Heavy Recovery Expenditures,” Is Warning. Warning that “many expenditures of a questionable nature will be sought with the plea that such moves will hasten recovery of the nation,” the Indiana Taxpayers Association released its annual report today.

SPECIALISTS OF NATION WATCH CITY BABY CASE Child Born Month Ago With Fifty Fractures May Recover. Pediatricians and bone specialists of the nation today contacted news services to learn the condition of Caroline Ruby Mercer, month-old baby who was born with more than fifty bone fractures. The child’s condition was reported “unchanged” today at her home here. Strapped to a narrow board, the baby slept oblivious of the nationwide attention her case has attracted. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hansel Mercer, 1245 West New York street. Caroline w;ts born May 16 at the Methodist hcspital. Later she was removed to Riley hospital and two days ago was taken to her home. Improper bone formation at birth is believed to have resulted in the ease with which her bones break. Lack of calcium often results in comparatively easy fractures but in Carolines case, physicians say a normal amount of calcium is shown in the body. Disturbance of the calcium metabolism is believed to have caused the faulty bone structure. Little hope for her living was entertained at the time of her birth. Dr. J. F. R ; gg, attending physician, says she has an excellent chance to become a normal, healthy baby. 70 OFFICERS ATTEND ANNUAL ARMY DINNER Senior Officer Given Farewell, Successor Welcomed.
