|DLENESS HURT
SCHMEL|NG

NEW YORK, June 9.-Max
Baer, who sent Max Schmeling
kicking last night, is a great
heavyweight fighter when the
mood strikes him. He has the
natural ability, and some claim
he will be the next world cham
pion.
The devastating ferociousness
of the fellow is astounding. When
he cut loose on the powerful Ger
man, Schmeling seemed to shrink
to the size of an English sparrow.
Schmeling was woefully fight
shy. No heavyweight can remain
idle for a year and hope to be
himself in a fight against 8 good
big man who has been plodding
the fiStic treadmill.
The German was off in marks
manship, and. as I predicted, he
couldn't do his best hitting up.
He uses a peculiar downward
punch when at his best and there
was nothing to aim at, downward.
In close, he didn't attack Baer.

Referee Right
In Stopping
Encounter

NEW YORK, June 9.-'T have
no fault to find with the referee
for stopping the fight" Schme-
ling said in his hotel suite
this morning. "The punch
that put me on the floor hurt
and things might have resulted
seriously if Referee Donovan
hadn't intervened.
"Until the tenth round /
wasn't bothered much by Baer's
right. What did trouble me
was his backhand punching,
which threw me off my stride
continually. And I was not my
normal self after the fourth
round. I felt tired and couldn't
put any snap in my punches"
Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's man.
ager, naturally was disappointed
over the outcome.
''Schmeling was not the same
fighter who faced Jack Sharkey
last year." he declared.
From the fourth round on
he complained of being tired,
and that surprised me. 1 blame
his condition on the heat. 1
must say, however, that Arthur
Donovan acted wisely in stop
ping the fight"
The Washington times., 1933-06-09
Time to Improve

OF course this Baer is only "a
years old and maybe something
can be done about him. I be-
lieve Sharkey would have sharp
shooted him silly if Sharkey
happened to be having one of
his good nights.
But time and again the Liver
more larruper came in wide
open, and Schmeling did moth
ing about it. Often Baer backed
away from Schmeling with his
hands heavy and tired at his
sides, and Schmeling let him
get away with it.
But if you know Schmeling's
crouching, weaving style, you
know how he tried to get in
side Baer, quite unsuccessfully,
and how Baer beat at his brains
all night long. Until the fatal
tenth, Schmeling shook it off
and never appeared to be IN
trouble or even hurt, but he
was hurt plenty by that rain Of
rights and lefts to the chin and
to the cheek in the tenth, and
I am one who is still wondering
how he finally got up when he
did.
But up he got and tried to
keep on going. He didn't even
know where Baer was stand
ing. He reeled against the
ropes and Baer started on his
head again, and it was then
Referee Donovan called it a

Baer Summons His All

Then came the tenth round.
It opened with a furry.
Schmeling was plainly hurt
with the early exchange and
Baer, sensing this, pulled all
of his strength together to
finish his man. It was the first
time in the fight Baer followed
up his leads, and he was
handsomely repaid.
It is noteworthy that even
the conqueror was a very tired
man at the end. He veritably
hung on his seconds as they
rushed in to mitt-glom and
shoulder-pat him.
The only highlight of the
fight was at the very end,
Heretofore it being a matter
of two very dull young men
in their seeming to wonder
what was to be done about
the other fellow. There were at
least three better fights in the
audience during the main go,
one of them being in the rear
of the press section in the
fourth round. That being a
particularly dull session, some
body yelled:
put 'em up there in the
ring"
But it was all in good, clean
fun!
The Washington times., 1933-06-09

That right hand whizZe d
through the air in the tenth
round of his battle with Max
Schmeling of Germany last night
and struck the onetime heavy
weight champion on the chin
like bolt of lightning. It was
loaded with TINT" It hit with
such devastating force that the
cagey and courageous Teuton
was sent reeling into the ropes,
wobbly-legged and glassy-eyed.
Ruthlessly, and with the killers
instinct, Baer pounced upon his
victim and shot half dozen or
more pile-driving lefts and rights
to the head. Bing, bang, bing,
bang, bing, bang-they went in
there, a rapid and fearful sue
cession of bone crushing blows.
And then the German fell.
Fans Roar Excitement
In slow motion he sagged to the
canvas, the mob-60,OOO within
the arena-roared with excite
ment as Referee Arthur Donovan
stood over the fallen gladiator and
began to count. Baer, his chest
heaving and smacking his gloves
together in nervous agitation, fell
back to a neutral corner.
Schmeling lay there, motion
less, for four or five seconds. At
the count of seven he groped to
his knees, but the fire of battle
seemed to have disappeared from
his eyes. He put up his hands
feebly as the towering Baer
rushed at him like a madman.
Once again, Baer smacked him
into the ropes. Again the strap
ping Californian unleashed a
furry Of lefts and rights to the
head.
No man could stand them. But
Schmeling, as game as they come,
wouldn't quit. There is no saffron
in his makeup. He kept taking
it," Even in defeat you had to
admire the man. His head was

lefts and rights, but still he paved
away helplessly, trying to stave
off his adversary.
Referee InterveneS
Baer, as if in pity, halted in his
fury for a brief moment and
glanced at the referee. And then,
as Baer was about to unlimber a
lethal right, which might have
had a serious result, Referee Dono-
van humanely jumped between
the men and stopped it.
It was technical knockout for
Baer, officially chalked up as hav-
ing occurred after one minute and
81 seconds of the tenth round of
what was to have been a 15-round
bout.
The result was a startling up
set for, almost without exception,

Failed to Bite Moxie

Meanwhile Baer did every
thing to Make that is unor-
thodox except bite him and pull
his hair. He hit him low once
and was warned. It was un-
Intentional, of course, as a wild
swinger like Baer never knows
where his blows are going to
land.
Previously Baer hooked his
glove around Schmeling's neck
and boxed his ears plenty.
That is called holding and hit
ting and is bad ring manners.
Too, he back-handed Schmel-
ing on several occasions and
otherwise gave Referee Donovan
much concern and frequent
cause for reprimand.
Apparently Schmeling was
trying to do something to Baer
but the fight was over before
the Rhinelander could make up
his mind. So, until he could,
Baer, with his greater height
and reach, just let matters take
their course and was content to
keep pecking away at Schmel-
ing's noggin. Through eight
rounds the action was slow as
two marathon dancers. 1t sped
up in the ninth.

Victory in
1st. Round

NEW YORK, June 9.-"When
I hit SchmeIing with o right in
the first round" said Baer to-
day, 81 knew the fight was in,
for then I was sure / could do
it again about as often as ]
pleased.
"But was cautious. It really
looked too easy and I thought
he might have something up his
sleeve. 1t was in this round
that he hit me with his best
punch, a right hand that shook
me up but did no real damage.
"After that 1 decided to bide
my time and finish him when I
got the chance. After the sec
Ond round / noticed Schmeling
splitting up blood but still 1
waited.
"Once I found out how easy
it was to put a hand under his
elbow, half turn him away and
then slug him, it was just a
question of how long he could
stand up.
"I began to put on the pres
sure in the eighth, steamed up
in the ninth and really opened
up in the tenth. If I were
fighting q reckless fight I might
just as well have finished him
several rounds earlier. I don't
know yet what held him up.

Kirkwood's performance gave
him a two-day total of IA, three
better than that Of Ralph
Guldahl, st. Louis, who reeled
off a II for an aggregate of lat.
The latter got a sparkling 80
to the turn despite three-putting
the seventh, but blew up with
his approaches on the back-nine
to take a 38. Kirkwood on the
contrary, held his dazzling pace
all the way, there being no wind
to hamper and haraSs the young
men as it did yesterday.
Puts Go Astray
Except for two puts, Kirk
wood might have equalled Tommy
Armour's course record of 68,
made yesterday. These came at
the fifteenth, where a 1O-footer
for an eagle slipped past the cup
by a Split-inch, and at the
eighteenth where his putt for
birdie hit the back of the cup,

ing of his vaunted right, would
be enough to overcome Baer'S
sheer punching power.
Couldn't Hurt Baer
Baer started off in a sizzling
manner, taking the first three
rounds. Schmeling held him
even in the fourth and then be-
gan to come through, winning in
the fifth. Baer, however, took the
sixth by a narrow margin. The
German won the seventh, the
eighth was even and Baer had a
shade in the ninth. By this time
Baer apparently realized Schme.
ling couldn't hurt him and he
came out in the fatal tenth, swing
ing like a wild man from the bell.
The Washington times., 1933-06-09

Baer started to work on the
Uhlan's dome at the tap Of the
first bell and kept it as his
main target throughout nine
and fraction rounds, eight of
which were somewhat listless.
Taking nothing whatsoever
away from Baer's victory, he is
no parts of a champion. His
win last night was decisive
enough, but before that it was a
case, not of which was the best
fighter, but which was the worst.
Schmeling was sluggish
throughout. He has gone back
1mmeasurably since his Walker
fight last September. The
Dutchman has lost his competi-
tive edge in nine months of
idling.
Thus, today the Hebrews on
this side of the Atlantic, at
least, are all even, if not a little
bit ahead, of the Germans. Just
what Herr Hitler will do about
all of this remains to be seen.
He was certainly not in Schme-
lng's corner last night, and the
latter looked so poorly that even
the astute and resourceful Mr..
Joe Jacobs was helpless and
hopeless.

IF He Breaks
Even

NEW YORK, June 9 - Jack
Dempsey will be lucky if he
breaks even on last nights fight.
The promoter said before the
battle that he would have to draw
a net gate with the Government
tax of 10 per cent and the State
of S per cent deducteO of $780,
600 to pay all bills.
The net gate amounted to
$201, ,092.27. Slightly more than
$4,000 paid to see the fight and
there were over $500 who receive
complimentary tickets.
The German fighter received
371a per cent of the net gate,
about $75,4O0, while Baer, whose
contract called for 1919 per cent,
will draw down approximately
$25,136.
Government taxes amounted
to about $24,4O0, getting 10 per
cent of the gross. The State col
lects about $1,000, receiving S
per cent of the gross gate after
the 10 per cent Government tax
has been deducted.
