 BOXING VIA BAER
BYL. s. CAMERON nrnifcd Press Sports EdllOr)

New York, Feb 7.--UP) Loughran of Philadelphia, retired light thea vyweight champion. today was in line for a bout with Jack Sharkey as q result of an impressive victory over Max Baer. Cahlorhias jabbering heavyweight.
 I,oughran, short-ender of the 60 betting, won a unanimous decis'on over the coast aboy in Madison Square Garden last night.
 One of the smartest boxers of the past decade, Tommy's heavyweight campaign which began after he gave up his light heavyweight title. was Interrupted temporarily when he re- ceiyed q stunning knockout at Shar- keys hand in September. 1929. Ar ter an extended lay-off Tommy has come up through the ranks Of sec Ond- raters.
 Paves tho Way.
 Boxing writers said that Lougn. rams bout with Baer was to decids if he was to get a return shot at Sharkey who has been left out of the current championship picture as result of the triumvirate formed by Schmeling, Stribl!ng and Gamers and fostered by the New York state boxing commission which declared Schmelings title vacant. Sharkey has decided to rcmaih
  pected he will have his first bout here next month.
 Loughran's victory over Baer was definitely onc-sided. He won 90 per cent of his points with his clever stinging left Jab.
 Baer was almost pitifully fnept against this, and his best efforts to rush Tommy with wild swings 10 hear and body were deftly blocked. Loughran scored almost no damag- ing blows but he broke into Bacr's mouth with almost monotonous frc- quency.
 The United Press score sheet credited Baer with winning only the | second, ninth and tenth rounds. | Baer was at his best in tho sec ond round when he jared the Phil adelphian in wild rushing attack. Baer tried to make a knockout come off in the ninth round, too. but | could not
 | Stepping Down. Bacr's handlers undoubtedly will attempt to charge the defeat to Max's incxpcrlencc. It Is now cer- | tain that Bacr wil have to do somo | campaigning in the smaller clubs before he Is ready for another shot at the top.
 This was Bacr's third eastern start. He lost 2 decision to Ernie Schaaf. plodding Bostonian, and scored q knockout over Tom Heeney of New Zealand when tho officials became mixed up in tho count.
 FicucclIO Beaten. Paul Sklderski of Syracuse. N. r.. won an impressive decisinn over Ralph Ficucello. swarthy Brooklyn Italian, in the 10 0.round semi-finnl.
 Swiderski has developed q we'll deserved following in New York but Ficucello. q most promising heavy weight one year ago, is now on the downward track.
