BAER|N BOUT

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-MaX Baer,
worlds heavyweight champion,
and Kingfish Levinsky today went
about the process of last day
training calisthenics for unique
fistic brawl.
Realization that the two-BaeI

a rough, tough mauler who Spe.
cializes n beating champions
Dempsey and Sharkey)-are to
fight with Six-ounce gloves in the
Chicago Stadium pit tomorrow
night, brings the episode into the
spotlight as a pretty swell spec
tacle.
Baer insists on six-ounce gloves.
Baer insists that the hand band
ages consist only of three inches
of gauze and two feet of tape.
The guy must be a game and
confident champion-which he is.
No Decision Bout.
Through Baer's own demand,
made at the meeting held in the
Illinois Boxing Commission cham
bers, the champion and Levinsky
will slug with the regulation fight
ing gloves. which weigh six
ounces. They meet in a four.
round contest, no decision bout.
The facts suggest that the
gamble is all on the champions
side. If he is knocked out, there
would be nothing to prevent
Levinsky CI'm the kingO from
proclaiming himself champion.
Even if the gay Max should be
bounced upon the deck once or
twice for knockdowns it would
scarcely help his prestige as
champion.
Six-Ounce Gloves
Anyway. Baer asked that the
bout be one in which they wear
sixounce gloves, which is the
minimum weight used in all
heavyweight fights-actual fights.
So that's how it shaped up as
they taper off training chores
today.
There has never been much
love between the two-they
fought 10 rounds in New York
and 20 in Reno-and it's possible
that each wants to show up"
the other tomorrow night.
Regardless of the fact that it
is a no-decision event, Max could
lose his precious title if the wild
swinging Levinsky popped him
for the 10 count with one of
those six-ounce gloves.

BROOKLINE, Mass, Dec. q.
Half of the semifinal bracket was

Since 1926. when the Navy

Der of the old ''Big Four" in 1896
With lighter teams and
smaller number of reserves than
most of the teams it meets, some
have feared that the Navy was
undertaking too much in arrang
ing such trying schedules. How
ever, there has been no adverse
effect and the squads have come
through the seasons in good phys
1cal shape. 1t has also been the
custom to play the last of the pre-
liminary games two weeks before
the contest with the Army.
Freshman Crop Fine
Naval athletic authorities have
been encouraged to continue this
policy by the better and more
abundant material which the last
three or four classes have con
tanned. This is particularly no
ticeable as to the present plebe
class, believed to contain the best
football material, and certainly
more big athletes, than any class
which has preceded it. Another
fine plebe class is anticipated
next fall.

The streets were much OBJ
Structed by troops and army
wagons, continuing the move
ment about which she already
had written Colonel Sharpe. So
it was late when the girl re.

calling.
She called at the picturesque

fluted pillars; drank a dish Of
tea with the Prestons and a
glass of ancient sherry With Mrs.
