 London, Juno 14.--NiP) Mag Baer will knockout Primo Camera when they meet for the worlds heavyweight championship In Mad. ison Sduaro Garden Bowl today.
 If that information enables you to better your finances, you might drop a note of thanks 10 Senorn Conehltn Eseobnr, care Of Epson Downs, England,
 For lt was 10 Scnora Eseobur that 1 turned when Madame Henri. stta Dunbar, tho seorcss of Sixth avenue, failed to answer my cables asking for tho outcome of tho fight. Sonora Escobnr is n member Of tho tttered Gypsy caravan which moves on Epson Downs days before tho Derby, and stays until tho meeting is completed, found her In N rude tent pitched between a strong mans outfit md q game of skill peculiar to England, a coeoanut sa loon.
 A Gocoanut saloon, if l may dlgre5s a moment, consists of hun. dreds Of cocOnnuts mounted on Iron slaves by steel hoops. nnd the 0b. Jcct Of tho gnmo ls to stand off somo 25 yards md knock them off with small bulls. Any you knock o; are yours. Tho odds aro all with tho proprietor, for the ammunition provided the throwcr consists of tennis balls, which bounce off the nuts Ike hall off n roof. Ono owner told mo ho hnd used tho same coeonnuts for thcn ycnrs.
 Strangers!
 1t was n bit difficult making Sonora Escobnr understand what [ wanted, for not only was sho deaf. but shc hDd never heard Of tho terms knockout" "dccision," |" draw" md "rounds, :" meant nb. s0lutely nothing. Hut she was quick to lonrn," and In less thnn mn hour her wrlnkled fncc lighted up md. in fnultloss Spanish, she snld "Yah, lch VorstohO," md began preparations 10 stare Into inc mIsts of tho future.
 foront from Mndnme Dunbnr's, who '' ''b b'hiilF bF IUNIUK H UNtU drink from q brown bottle, Quito different, in fact, for, of all tho clnifvOyants in tho world, she js tho only ono who practices hood. Ing" "lloodlng" requires no cry. stal balls, rubbing of pnIms scratching Of hcndH. TO hood" ono simply ties q thick blnck cloth over ones hoad and sits. The hood when hnplicd properly, produces n scml'suffocatIon. and tho ncnrcr ono approaches complete suffoca. ton, tho clearer sthe glimpse Into Inc days 10 come.
 PriceS vary according 10 the amount of sunocntIon, For shill. lniG, for example. sonora Escobar simply drnpos tho hood over her hehd and is fortunate to sec one dny in advance.
 For two ahilllngs shc tIghtcns the string ht the bottom until only n tlny bit or air is admitted. md so one up the scnlc until. for half q hound she pulls tho dra wstring un- III IL almost chokes her. and. as an extra guarantee against aIr, closes the flaps of the tent.
 This latter procedure was tho one she followed for mo. For half an hour she sat as motionless as the cocoanuts of the cocoanut saloon.
 Then. just when was getting alarmed. she jumped 10 her feet and snatched the hood from her head.
 Suffering cats'". she cried In the purcst Castilian. For q moment thought I was done for. Get me q Guincss! Quick"
 Later. over the Guinness, she said that under the hood. she had seen vision in which great cheese was spread out on the floor. very Hat. Nothing else.
 put two and two together. so it's Baer by a knockout.
