There is no one Camera can meet

Baer is running one risk. He might

Mar is inclined to get careless or
oUer-confdent at times. And this
might leape him in the grapel
ditch on his ,cdy to throne.
Yet he needs the extra experience.
He needs what hard fight will bring
to any fighter. A year is a long time
to rest. There Is no other sport where
q competitor keeps out Of action for
such q period Of time.
Base ball, polo, tennis, golf, track
and field, foot ball, basket ball, hockey
all demand competition at stated in
tervals to keep the keen edgA ready
for the next party.
But in boxing, champions think
nothing Of letting year pass before
they 60 back to work. Jim Corbett
was out of action three or four years
before he fought Fitz-and lost.
Dempsey met Firpo In 1928
and took . three-year lay OF be-
fore he met Tunney-and lost.
Sharkey and Schmelng each
took . years rest, approximately,
and got knocked out.
A good fighting man needs too much
equipment In the way of speed, skill,
stamina, timing and several other fac
tors. to loaf too long.
Harry Greb had the answer. He
trained for fighting by fighting, and
pound for pound he was about as good
as any fighter since Ftzsimmons or
