cally asserted
"a social revolution can take place if you put
shoes on the people of the South"

 A baby blue spotlight stabbed the crimson curtain. The curtain part ed softly and therein double breasted blue suit, soft red necktie, and enough grease in luis hair to fry half a dozen pork chops stood our heavyweight challenger, Max Adelbert Baer.
 He smiled that old movie smile. You know, the one that enables you to count his teeth right on back to the wisdom sector. He fiuttered his hands like a male seamStresS admiring his latest creation. He did a few mincing dance steps in soft shoe. Then, throwing the old smile clean back to his caulifioWer ears, he leaned over the micro phone, and in a voice not unlike that of the egrer calling for its mate, said:
 Ladies and gentlemen, trust you'll bear with Baer. I have a little number here that I'm going to attempt to sing if you'll bear with Baer."
 With that he approached the mi- crophone like father caressing his sick child. gazed rapturously at the audience, and crooned as follows:

 But a dissenting voice boomed down from te mezzanine. It was a voice such as Wallace Beery might have concealed somewhere about his person. It said:
 "Whoops! Show us your muscle, you drate big ol' mans!"
 Trouper that he is, Baer ignored the dirty crack and, stepping back from the microphone. swept into his tap dance routine, fianked by eight honey babies. And what Hanks!
 To make sure that MT Baer would panic his audience opening day. the management of Loews State provided one George Givot, who is known as the Greek am- bassador of fun", as foil. Leap- ing spryly from his front row seat, MT Giyot joined MT Baer on the stage and there then ensued the worst collection of jokes ever per- petrated in music hall.

 MANAGERIAL BAN
Jack Sharkey's Pilot Al- legged Callahan Had Been
 Fraudulently Weighed

Boston, Dec 16-(U.P.)-Johnny Buckley, manager of several box CTS. including Jack Sharkey and Andy Callahan of Lawrence, was faced with the loss of his license as a manager of boxers in this state when he was summoned yes- terday to appear before the State Boxing Commission Monday.
 Buckley was ordered to appear at the office of the attorney gen. eral at the state house to show cause why his license should not be revoked.
 The action is the outgrowth of an informal hearing held earlier in the week as result of charges made by Buckley that Callahan had been fraudulently weighed for his title bout with Champion Vince Dundee last week. He had claimed that a 10-pound weight had been used to raise his charges pound age that amount.
 Billy Ames, matchmaker of Boston Garden, promoter of the bout, and his assistant Bobby Goldman, were also summoned.
