Baer's loose moments too seri-
ously. I would honestly be the
last person in the world to
view his lack of impressive
training as insurmountable, be-
cause ring history is dotted
with cases where great fighters
looked like neophites in their
Sparring and gymnasium work.
Truth is, as I recall Baer's
fight with Max Schmeling, he
looked quite the part Of a buff
foon in all except the first
round and the eighth round in
which he laid Schmeling low.
That swift left hook with which
he caught Schmeling in the
opening Stanza was all but
enough to flatten the German.
Then Baer clowned around I'M
til the eighth when he brought
one up from the floor which
finished the Dutchman.
In between those two great

here up until Saturday, when
he seemed to settle down to

New York when the boxing
commission informed him next

will then take a jump to Phila'
delphia for a two-game setto on
July 2 and 3. The next day, the
two teams will return to Griffith
Stadium where July 4th double
header will be played.
This will set the stage for the
Griffs' second long trip around
the circuit-a journey that will
find the team hitting New York.
Detroit, Cleveland, ST. Louis, and
Chicago in that order.
For tomorrow's game against
the White Sox, Manager Cronin
said today that Earl Whitehill
would be his pitcher. This veteran
hurled a great game his last time
out against the Philadelphia AS
when he won by 7 to 3 score.
The Chisox hurler probably will
be Ted Lyons.
Today the Griffs are idle, it
being an off day for every club
in the league.

AsBURY PARK, N. j., June
10.-My brother, well there is
nothing to say, but I really
think that he is the next heavy
weight champion of the world.
They say that he will not be in
shape for his coming fight with
Primo Camera in New York.
Well, all I can say Is If Mr..
Brown is at the ringSide, he will
have Mr.. Camera in his lap as
a present from Max Baer.
The real reason why I think
Max is the next champ is ever
since Jack Dempsey fought
Firpo he would say that some
day he would be champ and
after the fight Max and I put
on a boxing show for our dad.
Max was Dempsey and I was
Firpo. We were boxing and
Max backed off the rug and ran
a silver under his big toe. It
cost Dad IS to see his sons box.
The IS was for the doctors bill
and Jack Dempsey lost the
