NEW YORK, June sup
heavyweight prizelishting, which
faded from a million dollar indus

plan he has followed in all his
fights. That is 10 come out swing

Never off his feet from a punch.
the 215-pound former ranch hand
has expressed the opinion that
Scbmsling's Sunday-gO-tO-mcetlng
punches will bounce off his chin
and midriff like raindrOps off a

Schmeling is a perfect foil for
the Californian. Cool, crafty and
Il deadly marksman with either
hand. the German plans to bide
his time until Baer is tired from
his bGSteriug pace, and then rid
die him with the same shots that
brought down Pauline, Risko,

Betting men believe Something's
plan will succeed, for last night
the German was a to / favOritc

for the simple reason that Baer
money Is scarce.
Fight followers who favor Baer
frankly admit they do so on a

fifteen rounds. probably in the
carly rounds, he will land one of
his up-fron-the-floor right hands

Baer is young and strong and can
