‘Qualification trials for the Me-| morial Day 500-mile race are to bé held again this afternoon, be-! cause only two additional cars made! the grade yesterday, but one of those two carried Ira Hall and more hfiman interest than a basket full of pups.
There is no telling how old Ira is |

MAXIE BAER FORGETS OWN PAST AS HE POPS OFF IN TRAINING
MAX BAER still talks a good fight . . . he hasn't fought in 14 months, has repelled no one except No-Hit | Tommy Farr in two years and has reached the 30 mark | In age. ... Yet Baer, training at Grossinger Lake, N. Y., for his engagement with Lou Nova at Yankee Stadium June 1, says they ought to make Tony Canzoneri discontinue ring warfare and that Jim Braddock should not be licensed for a comeback. Max quit to Joe Louis four years ago but that doesn't stop him from popping off and criticising others. Braddock took a decision and a championship from a seemingly unconcerned Baer in 1935. . .. Yet Maxie says Jim was washed up as early as 1930. . .. “And that was the year that I tackled such fellows as Ernie Schaaf, Johnny Risko and Tommy Loughran. I was just a punk Kid of 21.”

The first contest is scheduled for 8:30 o'clock.

J ~ He's Thinking of the Gate Everybody else believes that Lou Nova is doing a fine job of ballyhooing his fight with Baer, but the former champ wishes his “colorless” opponent would do something to help the gate next Thursday night in that scheduled 15-rounder. Baer is working with a headgear with a noseguard to protect an ugly cut on the bridge of his proboscis . . . caused by a sparring partners elbow. : At Nyack, N. Y, Lou Nova also talks, but he isn't popping off He speaks with a quiet confidence. But Max Baer suspects that Nova can't hurt him, which is why he insists that at the finish of their rumpus all there will be left of the musician son's vocabulary will be a lot of exclamation marks. = n » n = = G UILFORD COLLEGE, North Carolina institution of distinguished tradition, has a baseball tradition, too. . . . There's been a Guilford son in the big league scene for the past 20 vears, first Tom Zachary, southpaw ace, then Rick Ferrell, and now comes Stu Martin, St. Louis Cardinals’ second baseman, who has returned to the form that made him the freshman sensation of the 1336 early season.
