BAER'S TITLE CHANCE
HINGES ON SHARkEY

pend almost entirely on victory for
Champion Jack Sharkey over the NAM

with the Camera fight, Sharkey's
contract with Madison Square Garden

under Dempsey's promotorial banner.
A victory for Camera over Sharkey,

RECORD 68 PUTS
HIM ) Up IN OPEN
Holds Biggest First-Round
Edge In Events History.
Six Tie for Second.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

- LENVIEW, ILL.,, June g.
l Y One of the greatest shot
~ makers of them all,
Tommy Armour, had his
competitors all but rubbed of the
market today with record
breaking five-shot mortgage on
the national open golf champion
ship.
The Silver Scot, his irons and putter
singing the same sweet tune that long
ago placed his name in COLTS hall Of
fame, pulled his coup on the big prize
market Of golf yesterday by storming
in with record SO that not only broke
the course record for the North Shore
championship layout, but sent him 5
strokes ahead of the field after the first
18-hole-round engagement, with Wal
ter Hagen and six others tied at 73.
CIFTY-FouR holes were left before
the end Of the big battle and most
Of the favorites were grouped well
up, but it looked like another crown
for Armour, winner of the title at Oak
mont in 1927. No one IN the SO years
of play in the national open ever held
such margin after Is holes, although
two of them, Walter Hagen in 1914 and
1922 and wild Bill Mehlhorn in
1926, had staggered the field by firing
68s in the opening round. Olin Dutra,
the towering senior from California,
took a 4-stroke lead last year at Fresh
Meadow with SO only to toss it away.
What made 1t look all the darker for
the field, among them the defending
champion, Gene Sarazen, who took a
"A to land in an eight-way tie for
eighth, was that Armour has a habit
of getting better as the battle goes on.
When he won the championship at
Oakmcnt he opened with Is and then
broke through to win.
Pace-setters until Armour came
home, the six deadlpcked for second
place included two amateurs, Neil White
Of Topeka, KanS., and Southern Cali
fornia, and Maurice Mccarthy, IT,, of
Cleveland, and four well known pro-
fessionals = Hagen, Henry Ciuci of
Flushing, N. Y; Craig Wood. Deal, N.

r IvERMORE, Calf, June B.
Max Baer. once o Livermore
butcher boy, became a hero
in his home town tonight as
news of his victory in New York over
the German heavyweight, Max
Schmeling, was received
The fighters mother, Mrs. Dora
Baer. was showered with congratu-
lations at her home.
"I knew he would do II" she de-
clared.

that he sent his superbly conditioned
young man into the battle with abso-
lutte orders not to open up until after
the fifth round. That, despite odds
which were as high as 4 to / in
Schmeling's favor at fight time.
Baer, however, couldn't resist the
temptation to wing a few, and in the
first two rounds he launched two-fisted
attacks that beat his unsmiling antag-
onist all over the ring. That satisfied
him and from there on he was content
to bide his time.
Schmeling, taking advantage OF
Baer's let-up, crowded in with short
sharp attack that won him his only
three rounds of the fight, the fourth,
sixth and seventh. Experts at the
Californian had shot his bolt, that the
German would slowly, efficiently cut
him to pieces the rest Of the way. The
crowd booed the Livermore product
heartily as he backed around listleSsly
or stood in his corner and let Schmel-
ing pour in blows.
THEN came the fireworks. Starting
i the eighth, Baer really began COM
ing over the mountain. He rushed
out with mean look on his face for
the first time. no longer smiling, and
he socked Schmeling with everything
in the book, both at long and short
range.
In the ninth he nailed the German
against the ropes twice and measured
bim with terrific wallops to the jaw
When Schmeling's guard went up, fists
dug into his middle. They were in
furious mixup at the bell, slugging
away until the referee parted them.
Schmeling stumbled once as he walked
to his corner
Baer wasted little time finishing his
man in the tenth. They came out of
clinch in midring, when the Califor-
MANS right darted out like the head of
cobra and thudded on the point of
Schmeling's jaw. Down he went,
sprawling on his back, then rolled over
to watch the knockdown tmekeeper
He barely rose as the count reached
nine.
Serious as a cyclone for perhaps the
first time in his jolly young life, Baer
sailed into his battered rival with a
furry of punches. Schmeling covered
up, slid along the ropes in a desperate
effort to escape. But Baer was on top
Of him, throwing his 2o3 pounds into
every shot.
A left doubled Schmeling up, and q
right sent him slumping against the
post in a neutral corner. And that was
the end
The crowd paid $23s, 1855 to wit
ness one Of the most sensational battles
of recent years and to assure a fair
profit for Jack Dempsey in his first big
promotorial venture.

To Make u. S. Tour

NEW YORK, June 9.-No grass

With the Californian's name now
a sports headliner, Dempsey plans

couldn't hurt Baer. And until last
night hadn't seen any one fighting
today who could out-wallop the Ger
man.
So I believe that boxing's come
back now rests right on Baer's
shoulders. He is only "a years old;
he's the biggest, strongest man flght-
ing today, and he hits with terrible
power. He might have more trouble
hitting man as clever as the cham
pion, Jack Sharkey, and he'd GER
tainly have trouble evading the title
holders left hand, but that will be q
fight equal to anything that has
gone before In the ring.

"I'm going to win that champion
ship" he shouted as shower swept
away every trace of the combat. Not
one of the vast crowd that saw him
floor Sehmeling with a murderous right
and then, a few seconds later, leave the
former champion hanging on the ropes,
helpless, will argue the point.
A minute and 81 seconds OF the tenth
round had licked away when Referee
Arthur Donovan stepped forward, mer-
cifully, to lift BaerS hand and spare
the game German further punishment.
Sagging, ready to drop. his guard down
and his eyes glazed, Schmeling was an
open target for punch that might
have done lasting injury. There wasn't
dissenting voice from the massed
thousands In Yankee Stadium.
THE scene was an eyeful for Jack
l. Sharkey and Primo Camera, both
of whom peered attentively from
ringside chairs as Baer, far greater
fighter than he had been given credit
for, battered down his man. One or
the other, the victor in their champion
ship fight later in the month, probably
will get a chance to sample the Baer
dynamite. and it is doubtful now that
either relishes the prospect.

same vicious pitch, the man from Cali
fornia would be a favorite to tear
through Sharkey's guard and stretch
him on the canvas or to cut down the
gigantic Camera with the fury OF his
attack. He apparently is immune to
punishment, and bis own right is like
the kick Of a mule.
'I didn't know what happened" said
the dazed Schmeling as he sat discon-
solate, removing his ring togs. 1t was
evident the sudden, sharp conclusion OF
the combat, five rounds before the
scheduled finish, had left him shell
shocked.
HE wasn't hurting me, so got care
less and opened up. Wham-I thought
q house had fallen on me-"
1t was the first time Schmeling ever
had been on the floor since he first
came to the United States five years
ago. He had built up a legend Of i'm
munity to the stiffest punches, but he
hadn't run into a right like the one
Baer was tossing last night.
THE only blemish attached to the
i young Californian's triumph was
his frequent use of backhand
Low that brought warnings from the
referee and razzberries from the crowd.
Baer used 1t at times like he was punch
ing bag, when he backed Schmeling
unto the ropes and beat away at him
calmly, brutally. But the audience for
gave him that after the big climax.

RIFLE BULLET

ALVA, Okla, July 10. W.H-The
four -year-old son of a Woods coun-

carrying a heavy rifle bullet in his
brain. Physicians say his chances
of living the Biblical allotment OF
three score and 10 years will not

A neighbor tried to slaughter a

animal IS head.
The bullet entered the COW S
head. struck a horn, was DETECTED,
passed through a steel plate on a
gate and continued its course for
280 feet before striking Verlin Dale

BrySon.
1t passed through his head, a
lobe of the brain and lodged just
behind the child S right ear. Car
ried 40 miles by automobile TO u

vealed that removal of the bullet
probably would cause his death
Specialists advised that the bul-
let be allowed to remain, and de-
clared that unless complications set
in, he will recover and be none the

of the more recent knowledge about
poultry, the development of scien-
tific poultry researches and the pro-
ducing of the best breeds by means
of international expositions.
simultaneously with the con-

vile and established it as the First
National bank of that town.
J These pioneering ventures in
/ frontier banking were crowned with
success. largely because of the trust
i the early settlers here felt in the
/ personal integrity Of Leroy Holt,
who managed the enterprises. Var
ious valley institutions, such as the
Imperial Irrigation district, were
made possible through the cooper
alton of these banks in securing Gre
dit for the development of this vast
/ farming area
/ 1t was in 1909 that Mr. Holt eS-
tablished the First National Bank
of Ell Centro of which he was pre-
sident until it was merged in 1923
with the Bank of Italy, now the
Bank of America. With the latter
corporation he remained some years
as local manager and with it he is
still connected as district yice-pre-
sident.
In Leroy Holt Imperial Valley
has much more than a successful
business man, for he temperS the
Sagacity of the banker with the
knowledge of q friend. Those seek
ing loans have been judged on the
/ basis of character, the cornerstone
Of real banking, rather than on a
cold, analytical study of facts and
/ figures. Nor has his interest in the
valley and its residents been hm-
/ tied to the duties of a banker. Men
! have gone to him for advice in
business and personal matters, al
ways receiving a kindly hearing and
words OF sound wisdom.
He has not isolated himself from
the people, as SO many bankers do,
his desk being easy of approach and
equally as accessible to the man in
oyeralls as the man in more fash
| ionable clothing.
That the years in the valley have
dealth kindly with the Holts, is
amply witnessed by the accompany
ing photograph. Mr.. Holt, tall and
distinguished is no longer the del
icate young chap who sought the
health-giving California climate
more than sc gears ago He has
found health, a fine maturity,
friendships, the crown of years, in
! this great oasis, in the desert that
he has helped to develop.
Mrs. Holt is still the Dresden
china lady of pink cheeks, blue
eyes and silver white curls, fresh as
a rose in defiance to parching des-
ert winds. That she is a pioneer
woman" is difficult to believe. She
has done ner snare, too, toward
I building this community. The first
church and Sunday school at I'M
perial, the first school, the first
woman's club, all these were her
special care. She helped to create
and foster these social institutions
without which community life is
impossible.
And so to Leroy and Anna Holt
The Press wishes many happy re-
turns of July g. with continued
prosperity and health throughout
the years.
