By JACK CUDDY 3 United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Max Schmeling is the 2»1 favorite to beat Harry Thomas of Minnesota “tonight in their 15-round bout at

Madison Square Garden, but Heavy-

weight Champion Joe Louis says, «Bettin’ odds don’ mean much ‘fore a fight nowadays.” Louis and his entourage arrived “from Chicago yesterday to witness this brawl in which the champ is vitally interested. It is Schmeling’s first tune-up match after an enforced layoff of 18 months, preparatory to his contracted title bout ‘with Louis in June. Thomas scaled 19614 and Schmeling 196 at the weigh-in shortly after noon. Promoter ‘Mike Jacobs expects a gate of $75,000 and a crowd of 18,000. The Brown Bomber probably will he the most alert observer among that throng. It is Jolting Joe’s first chance to study at a safe distance the beetle-browed German who knocked Joe out in June, 1936. He Remembers “Ah wuz a heavy favorite to beat Schmeling ‘in that fight,” said the big, streamlined Negro as he lounged on a desk in Mike Jacobs’ office yesterday evening. “But yawl remembah what happened.” Joe grinned ruefully and rubbed. his brown chin. How does the champion figure tomorrow night's battle? Joe said he naturally expected Maxie to win, because-Thomas—whom he had seen in several houts—impressed him as an awkward, wide-open mauler, one who was easy to hit.” But anything could happen, he admitted, because Thomas is very rugged and has a | knockout punch in either hand. No |—Joe didn’t care particularly who | won, altdough he certainly hoped he {would get-another chance to turn | the tables on Schmeling.

Injured and Cold, Sam Hits Mark as Redskins Win “Pro Grid Title.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13 (U. P.).—Al

today in the wake of Sammy Baugh’s dynamic exhibition of courage and pessing in leading the Washington Redskins to the national professional football championship. In a passing exhibition almost unparalleled on any gridiron with the stakes so high, Baugh led the Redskins to a 28-21 triumph over the Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field yesterday before 15,878 shivering spectators. When Baugh limped off the field bruised and battered in. the last two minutes of play, the crowd rose almost as one to pay tribute to perhaps the greatest one-man football exhibition of the 1937 season. He Pitches Strikes It looked almost hopeless for the Washington Redskins. Their only hope was Baugh, and in the piercing cold he looked as if he were half-frozen. He was far from an inspiring figure as he hobbled around on one good leg. . The Bears led, 14-7, at the start of the second half when’ Baugh went to work. Here's what he did in 13% minutes: Passed to Wayne Millner, former Notre Dame end, for a net gain of 55 yards to tie the score, 14-14. Passed to Millner for a net gain of "18 yards to tie the score again, 21-21. Passed to Ed Justice for a net gain ‘of 35 yards and the winning

A brilliant rally in the last 13 seconds of the initial half, with Cy Proffitt and Bob Kessler making baskets, enabled the Kautskys to leave the hardwood at half time tied, 17 to 17. Johnny Wooden, still displaying his old-time speed, accounted for three field goals and three free throws, as the Ciesars moved into a 29-to-24 advantage at the end of the third quarter.
