The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-06-12

Only last Friday three competent medicos thumped and sounded their chassl thoroughly and pronounced both in excellent physical condition; perfectly capable of swhanging away for 15 rounds or less Thurs day night.
 This second examination, 1t seems, is being staged for visiting members of the Californian and Illinois boxing commissions. These visiting commissioners doubtless learned many new things about fight promotion by reading recent blasts about the battle of the "Scentuary." their education should be virtually completed today.
 Writers Views
 If one were to believe reports appearing in some of this morn ing's New York papers, one would expect to see Champion Carnera carried into the examination cham. bers on an extra large stretcher. Some of the writing boys had Car. nera confined to his bed at Pomp- ton lakes yesterday with an attack of influenza that would make the black plague seem like chicken pox.
 This report was born when the champ had his problscus swabbed out yesterday by pr Vincent For oni, personal physician. Camera ale ways has this done before an i'm. portant fight because he has been suffering for years from mild sinus trouble.
 We have the most profound as- surances from Dr Foroni, and from Louis Soresi, Cameras manager, and Billy Dofoe, trainer, that the big follow Is in perfect health and rarin' to go. Also that he ate three over-sized trout for dinner.
 Meanwhile Max Adeibert Bacr, the larruping Lochinvar from Liv- ermore, who was branded q "bum" lighter last week by Commissioner Bill Brown, now Is being hailed by his own manager, Ancil Hoff. man, as q "tiger man.
 This indeed, Is a stunning sur-I prise; an unexpected right.about- face In the backward build-up with which customers have been warn- ed to stay away from the fight in droves. Why, only few days ago. astute Ancil was crying and moan- ing over tho shoulders Of news papermen about the terrible con- dition of his fighter. Maxie would need at least an extra week of training, "the fight must be post. poned," etc.
 Wants P0stponemcnt
 Since then Ancil was struck on the head by a boomerang, and the blow apparently changed his opin. ion of Baer. Ancil wanted c weeks postponement. His cry was taken up by missioner Brown who demanded q months postponement or complete cancellation. This hit Hoffman right between the eyes.
 Maxie Is now so formidable that Hoffman, yesterday warned the commission of the madcap maui. CTS ferocity.
 Moreover, Hoffman assured the commission that California's gift to the ring and American woman. hood would not care to have Ar. thur Donovan officiating as referee again. Donovan was third man in tho ring during tho Baer.schmel. ing fight.
 Meanwhile, Madison Square gar. den announced that "Barnum was right" that the public is actually fighting for tickets despite all the adverse hurly- -burly.

Babe and Joe 'Feuding Again. Swap Old Yarns

why does a funny story always
remind somebody Of the Dodgers?)
Stripped of verbal ornaments,
McCarthy's yarn dealt with a Satur-
day game at Ebbets Field in which
the Cubs carried a 10 lead into
the eighth, when the Dodgers came
up with five.
At the height of the Dodger
rally word reached the fans that a
f1ier named Lindbergh had landed
at LIE Bourget field, Paris. Papers
promptly showered the field, max
ing it impossible to field ground
balls.
The Cubs went to bat at 5:55 and
the game was to be called at 6 to
allow Chicago to catch a train to
Cincinnati. At $50 the Cubs were
still hitting and had made nine
runs.
When the game ended, Otto
Miller got in an argument with
Umpire Frank Wilson. an irate fan
punched at Hack Wilson, Uncle
Robbie protested the game to
President Heydler, a special cop
stole Gabby .Hartnett's catching
mitt, the Cubs were in first place
and had missed their train, and 1t
took police and f1remen a half-hour
to clear the paper-strewn field of
rioting fans.
