served time for sodOmy.
Eddy is one of the foremost

Workers liken him to the Hitler
degenerates of fascist Germany.
Eddy attacked an S-year-old
boy on July q, 1888. THE Voice

of the scene of the crime, and the
name OF the boy in Difference to
the child and his family
The political ring hushed up
the case. shunted it into justice
court, and Eddy got off with a
sentence of 80 days. Under the
laws of the State of Washington,
sodomy is a felony, not In the
jurisdiction of a justice court,
and carries a penalty OF ten
years In Walla Walla.
Eddy. who has been separated
from his wife and family for
some time, has also been soup

~ Every squad would have
been on the field today had
recent weather conditions been
such that practice could be held.
AS it is, all plan to begin just
as soon as the fields are fit for
use.
Apparently. the workouts this
Spring will be just as serious as IN
September, because coaches and play
ers alike now seem to realize that
Spring preparation is essential to the
development of a good foot ball team
The coaches expect to keep their men
going at top speed from four to eight
weeks with scrimmage and funda-
mentals playing a big part in their
instruction.
George Washington and George
town formerly planned to have their
SQUADS out only four weeks and in
tended to discontinue practice at
Easter. However, the SHOWS have left
the ground in such bad condition
that practice will extend beyond
Easter and may be carried on for
longer periods. Much depends on the
progress the men make in picking up
fundamentals where they left of last
Fall and on how rapidly members OF
the freshman teams adapt themselves
to varsity ways.

Baer's Record Spotty.

TTOW long the public will stick
i i with him is something for Max
to think about. Clicking his
heels, wise cracking and showing his
curly hair over the footlights or in
the movies will not make him pop
ular as a fighter. Idols Of today are
forgotten tomorrow.
When a heavyweight championship
fight has to be postponed for deg
or horse show and does not show an
advance sale of more than $4,000.
as happened with the Primo Camera
Tommy Loughran fight, there is
something decidedly wrong with the
match. If Baer had been in Lough-
rams place there would have been
different story to tell, and nothing
short Of hurricane or a cloudburst
would have stopped the show.
Some one should sit down with Max
and Ancil Hoffman, his manager,
and talk things over. That is, if
they will listen. One has to go back
only few years to show the pair
that Baer was not going so we'll He

stop the aged Tom Heeney in 10.
Max apparently does not realize
how little local fans thought of him
after 10 rounds Of wild swinging
against Tommy Loughran. He was
put down as Just another over
rated busher and a clown.
Baer has real fighting ability. but
Is he going TO waste it or use it to
good advantage?
Last June Jack Dempsey puffed
up the Schmeling-Bae contest into
S250,00 attraction. Dempsey never
worked harder to put over a show.
He donned the gloves with each of
the principals and might have stepped
into the ring as referee if the advance
sale required another stimulant. That
fight made Baer the figure he is today.
Steve Hamas then proved Schmel-
ing was back number. The German
was in far better shape for the Hamas
fight than he was for Baer and while
Steve did not duplicate the Cali
fornian's feat in tipping Schmeling
over, he gave him thorough trounc-
ing. Negotiations for a match be-
| tween Hamas and the champion are
now in the making.
Baer is throwing away the chance
OF a lifetime. That is, if he has any
keen desire to rule the flstic world.
If he sticks to the stage and the
movies, his star may dim in a short
time. As heavyweight champion, he
could rule good many years. as there
is no one on the horizon Just now
to worry him.

HAMI!S MAyF|GHT
CARNERA IN JUNE
New Film Likely to Keep
Baer Out of Ring Until
Late in Summer.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

n YEW YORK, March S.
nj Primo Camera will de-
v fend his tarniShed crown
against Steve HamaS in
June. This statement is made
by a person in close touch with
the plans of Max Baer, and ap-
parently means that the big
Californian will start a new film
early in May which will not be
finished in time to permit him
to train for a big match until
late in the Summer.
Hamas may not get the coveted
shot at Camera. Luigi Soresi, Primo S
manager, is sorely disappointed on
several counts. The poor attendance
at the Camera -Loughran match, the
hostile attitude of the small crowd
and the attachment holding up pay
ment of the champions money all
made him feel sad
Camera finds lawsuit on his hands
every time he engages in a fight. If
this is to be the regular order of
things, Soresi thinks it would be a
better idea to sail to South America,
where he has been offered good purses
to appear in Buenos Aires, Rio de
Janeiro and Lima.
Camera in victory is discredited as
frst-rate fighter. Loughran in
losing gets all the praise for a gall
liant, courageous stand.
If Carnera fights Hamas in June,
the match will be promoted by the
Madison Square Garden people, as the
champion is under contract until
September. The show is to be staged
in partnership with the same people
who sponsored the -Schmeling
and Barney Ross-Billy Petrolle bat
ties. Thus the hatchet has been
buried and the Garden will not have
any opposition from this powerful
faction in the Summer.
