BAER DEFEATS
CARNERA TO WIN
WORLD TITLE

destiny" last night proved that
there was something behind his
Overwhelmingly dynamite
in both right and left hands, and
a chin like the rock of Gibraltar.
In the most primitive and bru-
fish bout staged in any ring since
t h e sensational Dempsey-Firpo
melee, the explosive Livermore
Lachinvar smashed and battered
the ambling alp until it seemed
time and again that Primo must
stay on the floor when he land
ed there.
The bout was fought exactly
as expected, with Camera trying
to outlook the challenger. Baer,
fighting from a crouch, would re
treat, and then suddenly launch
paralyzing attacks, first to the
body-to bring the big hairy
arms down-exposing the mas
sive jaw-and then to the head.
Of the IL rounds, the vast
venetian in the black tights took
only two, the fourth and ninth,
The seventh was even. Make
won the rest impressively.
The tip-off came in the first
round when Makes whistling

ed into the Gargantuan's jaw
and dropped him on his back in
a neutral corner like a side of
beef. Camera took a count OF
four, while the vast crowd
screamed for a Knockout.
When Primo rose, Make hit

fashion, and stopped in for the
kill, just as in his younger days
when he could fell a dozen pigs
and half a dozen cattle and dress
them in one day. But huge

with eyes widened like startled
horse, tried to. escape.

ropes, turning his ankle slightly
as he Iurched forward. Several

screaming for a knockout and
roaring with laughter. also went
to Make by wide margin.
Make staggered the Giant with
a right to the head early in the
session. AS Baer pursued this
advantage. Their legs became
entangled and both rolled to the
floor Make on top. When both
rose and had their gloves busted
off by Arthur Donovan, who re-
ferred the Baer-Schemling bout
last year and to whom the Baer
camp had objected this time as
third man, the fighters became
entangled and crashed to the
floor again. No sooner had they
risen when they did another
wrestling roll to the resin. They
exchanged blows savagely later
in the round, with Make having
much the better of it.
These three trips to the can
vas were not counted as knock
downs against either man.
Camera hit the floor again
in the third. The Giant, after
iabbing Make several light jabs
TO the face, shook Baer with a
hard left hook to the jaw, one
of his best blows of the fight.
Anpered, Make tore after him,
shot a left under Primo's heart
and floored him with a crushing

was the same kind Of combina-
tion with which Jack Dempsey,
who now has a financial interest
in Baer, put away huge Jess Will
lard in 1919. Camera took a
count of two, and was up again.
Primo came out determinedly
