Buddy Baer, Max's Brother,
Possesses Good Punch. Too

- AN FRANCISCO P.-With
a pair of hands big enough to
hide the Sunday meat in,
feet 5 inches of physique and
247 pounds of bulk, Buddy Baer
has started on the pugilistic trail in
the footsteps of his now famous
older brother, Max.
After training for several months,
the 18-year-old giant who makes
his brother appear small by COM
parison and rivals the vast hulk of
Primo Camera, made his debut in
a bout that was interesting but not
particularly enlightening as to his
possibilities.
His opening appearance took
place in an amateur club in San
Francisco. Fists encased in huge
exhibition type gloves that re-
sembled blown-up pillowcases. the
youngest fighter in the Baer family
showed he had a good elementary
knowledge of boxing and also pos
sessed punch during 'he minute
or so of fighting.
Young Baer's opponent, a mere
195-pounder, apparently was un-
nerved by his rivals size, as he
dropped to the canvas from a light
punch and stayed there.
Those interested in Buddy's pos
sibilities intend to work him along
slowly. He will retain his amateur
status and appear in thEee-round
borts for the present since all are
agreed he needs much more coach
ing before he dips into the profess
sqnA class.
