Fortunately, there are three doctors
in New York State who always can
spot the silver lining in cases of this
sort. They are Drs. Walker, Boyer
and Nardiello. By peculiar COIN
cidence, they happen to be throat
painters and pulse-feelers extraor-
dinary TO the State Athletic Commits
sion. They have decided that Mr..
Baer and Signor Camera are as fit
as couple of Stradivarius fiddles.

N pite the betting odds in
VI Primo Cameras favor,
4 the consensus of the
newspaper critics, bolster
ed by an almost unanimous vote
of the California delegation, was
that Max Baer will win the heavy
weight championship tonight.
Sid Ziff of the Los Angeles
Herald Express alone stands out
against the Western sweep for
Baer.

1t will be the next step in the long
parade-John L. Sullivan, James j.
Corbett. Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim jeff
ries, Tommy Burns, Jack johnson,
Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey. Gene
Tunney, Max Schmeling, Jack Sher-
key-and Primo Carnera, the de-
Tending party.
In spite of the dissentinr opinions
of so many experts, still ride with
the puncher-Max Baer.
He can't box a ick-but he can
hit and he also can take it.
It is quite possible that the Liver
more Larruper or the Clouting Clown
may not land a single effective punch
against a much better boxer.
If he doesn't, he isn't going to out
point a telephone pole, much less
Camera.
Max Baer is a natural clown-in
a ring-on a golf course-in a night
club-wherever you put him.
He is the oldest challenger for the
heavyweight title that ever came down
the road.
But he is big, strong, keen, dur
able-and he can sock with either fin.
He is gambling on the punch and
the ability to take a punch against
better condition and greater skill.
He has turned what should have
been a fairly easy win into guessing
contest-but I still like his chance to
slip one over against champion who
couldn't hurt Loughran with a right
hand to the java champion who
can't absorb any heavy shellacking.
TT MIGHT be a sour spectacle-a
bad fight-if Baer can't break
through.
But it ought to be an interesting
battle from the angle of human dis
placement. There will be something
like 470 pounds of flesh and bone in
action-a heavyweight record for a
championship, if that means anything.

MRS. BAER REARED
MAX T0BE AB0XER
Said to Have Bought Him
Fighting Outfit From Her
Life Savings.

HALLENGING for the
4 world heavyweight cham
Y pionship at IS, or five
years after taking his
first swing at a chin in an i'm
promptu fight, Max Baer can
thank his mother for his pres
ent position in pugilism.
Unlike most mothers, Mrs. Dora
Baer encouraged her first offspring to
become a fighter. In fact, rumor has
it that she drew $3.50 from her life
savings and purchased Max a COM
plete ring outfit to satisfy his am
bition to become a boxer. Jacob
Baer. ST., had planned to carve a
butchers career for the handsome
ringman-movie idol
Max Adelbert, as he was christened,
lived his early life on a ranch. His
father was a cattle dealer in Omaha,
Nebr., when Max was born on Febru-
airy IL, 1909. At the age Of 9, Max
moved with his family to Livermore,
Calf, where his father had pur-
chased a ranch. Today he lives at
Sanlandro, near Oakland.
Clouts a Cowpuncher.
n AER quit high school after year
n to learn the cattle business. At
20 he took his first swing at an
opponent, a cowpuncher. so the story
goes, who spoke out of turn about Max
and his girl friend.
The fight evidently was such a
good one that the other cowboys
egged Max on to take a crack at
professional pugil;sn, with the re-
suit that four months later Baer
scored his first knockout against Chief
Caribou in the second round of his
first professional fight. He received
$40, minus the managers fee.
His record to date shows 46 fights
In four years, with no defeats chalked
up against him since 1881, when he
dropped a 12-round decision to Pao-
limo Uzcudum at Reno.
Tragedy marked one Of his early
fights, when in 1880 frankie Camp
bell died in San Francisco following
his knockout in five rounds by Baer
Idle for a Year.
TT WILL be more than year. by
il six days, since Max fought, when
he handed Max Schmeling his
first American kayo In the tenth
round of their fight in Yankee Sta
dunn. Since 1882 he has been a
popular figure in the news with his
romances, law suits, movie acting
and ring performances. stamping him
the most colorful boxer since Jack
Dempsey, who now acts as adviser and
aide to Manager Ancil Hoffman.
Of his Al bouts, Max has won 80
by knockouts and 10 by decisions. He
has lost 7 and has never been knocked
out. The late Ernie Schaaf, John
Risko and Les Kennedy, who were
beaten In return matches, and Tom.
my Loughran were among those tc
score over Baer.a

Primo as a child except that
he was larger than the children
with whom he played. His early edu-
cation seems to have been neglected,
but his travels have given to him
considerable polish and poise for one
of his size. He now speaks and writes
three languages-Italian, French and
English.
Camera fought his first bout in
1929, opposing Frenchman named
Leon Sebilo. Like Baer, he started
his ring career by scoring a knock
out, flattening Sebilo in a round. He
celebrated his American debut in
New York with a kayo over Big Boy
Peterson, also in one round, in 1890.
In his first United States tour he
amaSsed a small fortune, but bad
investments, law suits and too many
managers left him with nothing but
the title.
During his career Camera has
fought 80 times, although many Of
the bouts actually were joke con-
tests. He scored SO knockouts, win
ming "a all told. losing Ave and par
ticipating in one no-decision contest.
