LOUCHRAN GETS
EASY DECISION
In BAER BATTLE
BY l.. S. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 7. WP)--Tom-
my Loughran of Philadelphia, re-
tired heavyweight champion, today
was in line for a bout with Jack
Sharkey as a result of an impress
sive victory over Max Baer, Cali
fornia's jabbering heavyweight.
Loughran, shortender OF the 6-5
betting, won a unanimous decision
over the coast boy in Madison
Square Garden last night.
Boxing writer's said that Lough-
rams bout with Baer was to decide
if he was to get return shot at
Sharkey who has been left cut of
the current championship picture
as result of the triumviate formed
by Schmeling, Stribling and Car
nera and fostered by the New York
State Boxing commission which de-
clared Schmelings title vacant.
Sharkey has decided to remain
active, title fight or not, and it is
expected he will have his first bout
here next month.
Loughran victory over Baer
was definitely one-sided He won
80 per cent of his points with his
clever, stinging left jab.
Baer was almost pitifully inept
against this, and his best efforts
to rush Tommy with wild swings to
head and body were deftly blocked.
Loughran scored almost no dam
aging blows but he broke into Baer's
mouth with almost monotonous
frequency.
The United Press score sheet
credited Baer with winning only the
second, ninth and tenth rounds,
Baer was at his best in the second
round when he Jared the Phila-
delphian with a wild rushing at
tack. Baer tried for a knockout in
the ninth round but could not.
Baer's handlers undoubtedly will
attempt to charge the defeat to
Max's inexperience. 1t is now GER
tain that Baer will have to do some
campaigning in the smaller clubs
before he is ready for another Shot
at the top.

drive was built by two of the great

Fred Duesenberg and Louis Chev-

on to make the competition mighty
keen.
Wilbur Shaw, the driver most
feared by all the pilots because OF

that many a time a man who had
