14OO BLOCK OF
FAIRMONT STREET:
In this location which is al
ways so much in demand I
found a beautiful apartment.
The suite is planned in a con-
ventional manner and all the
rooms are of good size. Three
bedrooms, living room, dining
room, kitchen and bath and a
large reception hall afford
plenty of space for the average
family. A well-kept lobby at
tractively furnished, swift C h.
board and elevator service and
the fact that this apartment
building is in such a convenient
location makes this a real find
at $4,000.
1900 BLOCK OF nth ST.:
Shopping for apartments yes.
terday afternoon I found one
that will suit the larger family
needing more sleeping space.
The unit consisted of six rooms
and bath and had been newly
renovated. The arrangement
was such that you could have
four bedrooms if necessary, as
the foyer was so spacious it
could easily be used as din
ing room. Numerous windows
through which poured cheerful
light makes this apartment espe-
cially bright. If your family is
large and your budget small this
is the ideal spot for you. For
further information call my
office.
1900 BLOCK OF 18TH ST.:
A bright airy corner apart
ment with an entrance hall so
large it could easily be used as a
library or den, which would give
you an additional living or bed
room, is now available in this
building. The kitchen is nicely
situated and of such generous
proportions could be utilized
nicely as a combination dinette
and kitchen. Completely redec-
grated with new electric ice box
and new modern range along
with spacious and roomy closets
makes the rental of $42.50 most
reasonable.

can find a vacancy. One feature
that particularly interested me
was a chest of drawers built in

ample space for your belongings.
With elevator service and we'll

appeal to the man or woman
who lives alone.
NEW YORK AVENUE:
I decided to investigate the
apartment building around Lin
coin Memorial. I found a most
unusual apar m mt of two
rooms, kitchen and bath, with a
small entrance hall large enough
for book case and phone stand.
The living room was most un-

size, having an arrangement of
windows looking out over the
Virginia hills. The day was
cloudy but I could still see the
Arlington Memorial Bridge and
I am going back some sunny
day as I know it would be worth
while. There is also a Murphy
bed in the living room for the
unexpected guest. The dinette
is separated from the kitchen by
q most different arrangement
of corner cabinets, making a
wider passageway than is usual
in dinette and kitchen combina-
ton. The bedroom is of a nice
size and had twin wardrobe clos

UNREST PREVAILS
IN PR|M0'S CAMP
Challenger Sure He'll Win,
While Champion Appears
Nervous, Uncertain
BY ALAN GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n IEW YORK, June 13-It's
N no trouble at all for any
' one playing the Cali
4 fornia hunch" this year
to pick Max Adelbert Baer to
chop down the ponderous Primo
Camera and bring back the
heavyweight championship of
the world to the U. S. A. tomor-
row night.
College track and field honors, al
ready have been taken back to Cali
fornia by Stanford; Lawson Little, and
Olin Dutra have contributed golflng
guests to the Golden States sporting
harvest this Spring and the brawny
California Bears rank among the
outstanding favorites for the Pough-
keepsie regatta this week-so why
not continue the parlay with the
pride of the betting Baers?
1t has been long time since CAL
ifornia was the capital of heavyweight
fisticuffng, unless the transplanted
Coloradan, William Harrison Denrp-
Sey, is added to the illuStriouS cham
pionship list headed by James J. Cor
bett and James j. Jeffries, who still
can be heard rumbling in the distance
something to the effect he could man
handle Camera and Baer on the same
night.
1t has been long time, too, since
anything developed so many fantastic
angles as tomorrow nights brawl be-
tween the former circus freak and the
motion picture playboy, but that
won't prevent Californians, and the
Hollywood colony in particular, from
backing Baer to clout his way to the
championship.

Matters Now Are Reversed.

4 WEEK ago so much fuss was
n made over Baers apparent lack
of condition as result of Box
ing Commissioner Bill Browns
whistle blowing that the happy-go-
lucky Calitornian's chances took a
sharp drop. Today, with increasing
signs of unrest in Cameras camp.
followed by the fact the champion has
developed a sore throat, it appeared
Baers support would rally to the ex-
tent of making him close to an even
money choice by the time they climb
into the ring in Madison Square Gar
den's "Sunken bowl tomorrow eve
ming.
The second examination of the two
fighters within week, conducted yes
terday at the commission, resulted in
both being declared generally in fine
condition" Three doctors inspected
Cameras throat and agreed that it
was not serious. Since the huge Ital-
ian once fought 10 rounds, in Miami,
with a cracked rib and at other times
while affected by varicose veins and
sundry minor ailments. nothing so
unimportant as a sore throat was
considered a handicap by his fol-
lowers.
Nevertheless, the conviction rapidly
has grown with the approach of the
fight that Camera, rather than Baer,
will be the victim of uncertain condi-
ton. Whatever his shortcomings may
be, the Californian has clowned him
self into a happy state of mind and
anticipation He talks blithely of
f1attening the big man in less than
six rounds. He has the punch to do
it, if he can connect. He is supreme
ly confident of Max Baer and that's
where the contrast enters the final
picture.

ENDEAV0UR FLASHY
IN TEST RACE WIN
Proves Liking for Light Winds,
Fitness for Trophy Bid in
Beating Velsheda.

COWES, Isle of Wight. June 13.-
T. o. NJ. Sopwith's America s
Cup challenger Endeavour beat
the fast British Yacht Velsheda by
% minutes in the first Of their trial
matches yesterday on the English
Channel
1t was the challenger's first real
test and her performance was of the
keenest interest to all British yachts
men, since she succeeded in dispell-
ing any doubt that may have fingered
regarding her fitness for the cup
races.
Endeavour won all but one of her
first races in the recent Harwich and
Southend regattas. The Velsheda was
forced out of the Harwich races by
breaking boom, therefore the more
skeptical of yachtsmen reserved their
verdicts on the challenger until she
raced against Velsheda, which proved
best of her class in 1888.

Tommy stayed nice right up to the

is nice guy, too-literate and shy
and everything else that the most
carping scenario writer could ask of a
pugilist 1t was this niceness, as well
as a strong pair of shoulders and a
good left and right hand punch, that
caught the attention of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Magraw not long ago.
Mr.. Magraw is an amateur Of
pugilism who used to spar with Fitz-
simmons, Corbett, Ketchel and several
other well known killers. In young
Steve Hamas he thought he perceived
the nemesis of Primo Camera, the
man who would knock the heavy
weight diadem of the Rreem's un-
calmly brow.
I'D seen Camera" explains Mr..
Magraw. land I thought the man to
beat him would be some one about 6
feet tall, solidly built, who could
punch and who crouched and weaved
like Dempsey. Baer is too tall and
spare. Then I got Steve Hamas to
come and see me, after hearing about
him from a friend, and he filled the
bill exactly"
Mrs. Magraw saw Steve, too, and
became interested in his chances
against Camera. Mrs. Magraw has
been interested in a variety Of things

business and Victor Herbert Broad

Against this Baer can outpunch
Camera by two to one, and he also
can take a harder punch in return.
He is much harder to hurt
II Baer had kept in merely fair con-
dition through the last year with
about two more fights showed under
his belt. he should have been an odds
on pick.
He did neither of. these things
and that makes a large and healthy
difference.
He has appeared so muggy in most
of his workouts that any number OF

AnOtnef FactOfs
vt ALSO might be pointed out that
Baer's swinging and hooking style
- has a better chance of slipping
through than that of straightaway,
more orthodox boxer would nave
Schmeling, for example, is better
boxer than Baer, but Schmehng
wouldn't hit Camera three times In
a dozen rounds-and L think Baer
will. You can't punch through those
two big gloves and those two oak-tree
arms
But you can hook or swing around
them. At least. there Is a better
chance to turn this type Of trick.
If you are looking for Baer angles
here is another-he may be clown
outside of the ring, but he Is no mush-
head inside the ropes.
1 recall the night he switched his
style completely against King Levin
sky when his first method failed
to win going away.
He knew how to block Schmeling's S
counter attack and he used his
method effectively.
The challenger has more than
enough weapons at hand to carry on
a winning war-if his wind and his
legs hold up.
He may not be able to land on top
of the right spot in the first few
rounds. and if this happens there can
be plenty of doubt as to how he can
move along after the seventh or the
eighth.
