Muscle cramps, aside from
fright, rarely effects you enough
to make you helpless in the
water. A cramp in the muscle
of the calf of leg can be relieved
almost instantly by pinching
the cramped muscle with fingers
and thumb of one hand as
though to meet the fingers of the
other. This usually relieves a
cramp at once. Massage the
muscle well when you get to
shore.
Toes Nerve Center
For toe cramp, pressure on a
nerve that lies in the arch of
the foot on the inside edge be-
tween the heel and toe will re-
lieve the cramp. Find the spot
now, so that If you should ever
need to, you can locate it. Don't
lose your head. You can keep
afloat a long time by simply
turning over on your back, and
assisting by q slight move
ment Of the hands and legs. Be-
coming frightened will not help
matters. Swimming Immediately
after a meal is responsible for
many stomach cramps. Wait at
least two hours after eating be.
fore going in.
A person having a weak heart,
subject to fainting, and epileptic
spells, should stay away from
deep water entirely. ANY sudden
shock, or strain on the heart
may prove fatal in deep water.
Fast and long-distance swimming
should be avoided while a plunge
into cold water with the body
overheated Is almost certain to
bring on an attack.
Strain on Heart
Under water swimming de-
prtves you Of oxygen and places
d great strain upon the heart,
and should also be avoided. No
bather should go in the water
while overheated. Standing knee
deep and splashing water over
the body is much safer than div
ing into deep water. If you are
going to pass out, at least do it
where you can be found easily,

} venience It would be to me to
have the fight postponed.
81 was also surprised that the
commissioner started passing on
my physical condition while still
sixty miles from here at Gar.
nera's camp. If he thought / was
bad today, he should have seen
me on some Of my off days.
When I am bad in training I
am positively terrible. But un.
fortunately, 1 did not know until
after the commissioner had left
us that was supposed TO fight
my fight down here in training.
I thought they wanted me to
save that until next Thursday"
His Own Brain Trust
81 thought I was here to train
as and my managers saw fit
for me to train. ny managers
you know, are all deep thinkers.
I've got big brains behind me.
A brain trust Of my own. I'll
bet If President Roosevelt knew
about my brain trust he'd be
jealous.
But there was no meeting Of
minds between me and the COM
missioner. He thought what I
was doing with my Sparring
partners was fighting. thought
what / was supposed to do was
to spar to improve the fine phys
ical condition / am rapidly At
tanning. Don't tell me one Of
those fellows I was boxing with
today was Camera"
You may gather from this
rather free quotation of what
Baer had to say after Brown
left camp last night that the
lippy young man from Liver
more is becoming something of
a diplomat. He may be easy
to handle in the ring, as Mr..
Brown insists, but he's TO cinch
to handle out of 1t. He has
an answer to everything and a
mind very much his own.
Furthermore, it is boxing
history that the curly-haired
Californian came off some far
sloppier training than he has
been doing here at Atlantic
City last summer to punch
Max Schmeling, former heavy.
weight champion, out of the
big time fight picture.
Jacobs Impressed
Even Something's manager,
joey Jacobs, the little man
with the big cigar, admitted
that after watching Max work
yesterday.
why" said Joe, che looked
so per cent better than he did
before our fight and I know
because / was getting plenty of
reports on him. He also LOOKED
better to me today than Car
nera looked yesterday. In fact,
he changed my mind about the
outcome Of the fight. Until 1
watched both men work I had
favored the champion. Now
I'm beginning to like Baer."

ASBURY PARK, N J., June
S.-Our light opera prize fighter
training camp here took on a
slightly more serious aspect
yesterday afternoon, with Box
ing Commissioner Bill Brown
appearing on the scene in the
role Of villain and announcing
in ringing tones that our hero
Max Adelbert Baer-looked to
him like something the cat had
dragged in.
You can well imagine the ef-
feet that had on our camp. For
a few short hours all was up
roar. All was furore. All was
confusion. The shouting and
tumult were terrific. Asbury
Park was transformed into
Raspberry Park, and I am here
TO tell you that some of the
things the boys said about one
another were hotter than the
depot stove on Christmas day.
Commissioner Brown rose in
his official capacity to inquire
in public If he was on Jimmy
Johnston's pay roll. Jimmy is
the cocky, belligerent, talkative
little promoter of Madison
Square Garden, and for a mo-
ment he was knocked speecnlesS
by Browns blast. But only for
a moment, naturally. And
when he recovered his custo-
mary lively tongue the things
he had to say.
Tsch, Tsch, Tsch
He did not intimate, but said
In plain, bliStering, unequivocal
language that Commissioner
Brown was trying to kill the
fight as a means of getting his
-JohnSton'-job at Madison
Square Garden, adding that he
had been promoting fights in
New York a long time and still
would be promoting them after
Commissioner Brown had ceased

Max Saves Chee-ild
It was not until our hero,
Max Adelbert, appeared on the
scene, in the nick Of time, that
Madison Square Gardens pugi-
lstic chee-ild was saved, and
all became serene and smooth
again.
81 am indeed deeply shocked
and surprised to learn that
Commissioner Brown did not
like me today" said our hero.
81 thought everybody liked me.
1t would also be q matter of
regret to me If the commits
SiOner or any of my managers,
Jack, Tom, Dick or Harry,
should succeed in causing o post
