Tommy Loughran, the Phila-

gave Max Baer an effective lesson

n IEw YORK, June 14.-A long,
N lean black-haired Irishman,
1 tired as any man alive, lay
stretched out on a bed today,
trying hard to keep awake-the new
heavyweight champion of the prize
fight world, James j. Braddock.
There was badly bruised rib ach-

swollen. His left ear was plastered.
He grinned automatically all over his
wide. even, Irish face. But his eyes
just wouldn't stay open. 1t was 3
O'Clock in the morning.
The crowd roared through his hotel
suite, the usual crowd that greets a
new champion. In all that milling
mob there was just one question:
What's the new champ going to
do?"
All Braddock knew was that he
wanted to sleep. He had to stick his
fingers in his eyes to keep them open.
Tired? Tn dead. I hurt q rib in
training two weeks ago. I had to
wear a protector all through the last

n YEW YORK, N. Y, June IA
M The miracle rider still is on
his way. Last night at Long
Island Bowl in the greatest
upset in the history of the ring, James
J. Braddeck of Union City, N. j.,
hammered Max Baer's heavyweight
crown from the top of his curly~black
head to win going away after Is rounds
of slugging and mauling, with Brad
dock leading the attack from start to
finish.
The fans saw Max Baer put up one
of the poorest fights a heavyweight
champion ever made in defense of a
crown. They saw the ring relic of a
year ago. the has been and the for
gotten man of pugilism, come from
poverty and the relief rolls to drive
the champion of yesterday from pillar
to post, from rope to rope with a
fusillade of leather that rarely took
moments holiday.
Outweighed by 20 pounds, outclassed.
in physique and reach, in youth and
strength, the bulldog Braddock out
boxed, outslugged and outfought Baer
the greater part of the route with an
offensive charge that took big jump
through the first four rounds and held
this margin with something to spare
through the final frame.
Braddock fought the greatest fight
of his life and Baer fought the worst
of his career Ancil Hoffman, his
manager, says that Baer broke both
hands in the fifth round, but that
must be poor excuse for the beating
that Braddock gave him and the big
lead the Jersey man piled up in the
early charge.
For these first four rounds Baer
gave you the impression of an actor
putting on a show, rather than
heavyweight champion with his title
at stake.
1t was Baer's inability to put Brad
dock away from the fifth through the
seventh round that tells the main
story CT this fight.
For these three rounds Baer piled
on top of Braddock, landing repeat
edly with left and right hooks, with
inside uppercuts that split Brad
docks nose and drove him back under
a fire he couldn't hold away. But
under this thud of leather the game,
grim Jersey man took everything Baer
had and came along for more. He
came back marching in, throwing
punch for punch after the seventh,
soaking up every type of wallop Max
had to offer without giving ground
or fading out.
From this point on Baer was q dis

couraged and bewildered fighter. He
saw his crown slipping away and
there was nothing he could do about
it. The playboy had come to the end
of the primrose trail.
His strength and stamina seemed
snapped. The punches that had
knocked out Max Schmeling, that
had hammered the giant Carnera to
the floor IL times, had little effect on
Braddock's square-cut chin or Brad
docks stout body.
Up to the tenth round there was
still feeling that Baer would now
come along to win. But after the
tenth had passed the crowd sensed
that a miracle was on the way. 1t
was Baer who was weakening, with
the steam gone from his punches, the
strength from his legs, the will to win
from his heart.

ring at Long Island Bowl last
night, and he was unable to break the
jinx that has toppled every champion
who tried to defend his title in that
great arena. SO he lost the worlds
heavyweight championship to a de-
termined and serious Jimmy Brad
dock.
There was not a dissenting voice
raised when the champion was de-
clared the loser. A great cheer went
up when little Al Frazin, pinch-hitting
for old Joe Humphries, announced
through the loud speaker, winner
and new champion -" That was

IT WAS a poor fight for world
heavyweight championship. I do
not wish to take anything from Brad
dock. He fought his best and his best
was better than Baer's miserable de-
fense of the title.
Low blows in at least two rounds
counted heavily against Baer. An
other time he wrestled Braddock, and
the referee, Johnny McAvoy penalized
him this round also.
There were no thrills, no spectacu-
lar moments. 1t was a drab affair.
Baer looked to be in perfect physical
condition, but that was all he did look.
Aggressiveness, a stout heart, game.
ness and willingness to keep fight
ing at all times gave Braddock the
victory.
THE decision of the judges, Charlie
Lynch, George Kelly and the ref
cree, Johnny McAvoy, was unanimous
for Braddock.
And for once. when a champion
failed, and miserably, too, the decision
was popular.
1t was a sad exhibition on Maxs
part. He simply clowned his title
away.

Critics Declare

NEW YORK, June IA P).-
Ringside experts, all of whom
figured Max Baer a certain winner
in advance, agreed after 1t was all
over today that James J. Braddock
fairly earned his right to be the
new heavyweight champion.
A concensus gathered by the
Associated Press credited Braddock
with winning margin in eight
rounds, with six for Baer and one
even. Some gave the new cham
pion as many as nine or 10 rounds.
A few thought it was so close
that Baer might have been given
the benefit of the doubt-a draw
but none conceded the fallen
champion an edge.

Retirement Not Held Serious.

nISCONSOLATE but generous in
- praising his conqueror, Baer said
he was through" with the ring, but
no one took him seriously.
He probably will fight the winner
of the forthcoming Joe Louis-Primo
Camera bout, in New York, and at
tempt later to regain the world cham
pionship.
Before he crouched, scowling. for
the fifteenth and final round, knowing
that his crown was slipping from him,
Baer summoned a characteristic grin
and whispered to Braddock:
Good luck to you, kid, if you win
the championship"
The gesture was a crowning touch
to a fight that added strange and
surprising chapter to heavyweight
annals. There were no knockdowns,
nor did either fighter exhibit punch
calculated to bring about a sudden
turn of events.
The crowd, though strongly partisan
in the ctallenger's favor because he
was so much the underdog, frequently
booed and yelled for action.

Baer let five rounds slip past before
he landed anything like solid, jar

after a dozen rounds that not even
his most desperate efforts could turn

Baer brought gales of laughter from
the crowd with his antics, but also
damaged his chances by tactics which
violated the rules and resulted in
penalties.
When Braddock missed a punch In
the eighth round, Baer feigned groggi-
ness and, with a grin, swayed in his
tracks, hands down. But Referee Nc
Avoy took three rounds away from
him-the fifth, ninth and twelfth
because the champion either hit low
or backhanded.
The turning point came in the
twelfth. Up to that point Braddock
had been hard pressed to keep his

" shot who didn't have chance
-29-year-old James j. Brad
docks the heavyweight champion
of the world today in the most
astounding upset since John L. Sulli-
van went down before the thrustS of
Gentleman Jim Corbett back in the
gay 90s.
He couldn't win-but he whipped
the curly headed man killer" Max
Baer, by a margin that was close, but
nevertheless convincing, in Is slow,
plodding rounds, before an amazed
crowd Of scarcely 10000 cash custo-
mers last night in Madison Square
Gardens half-empty bowl.
He didn't have a chance to cope
with the bigger, stronger, harder
hitting Californian-but he kept
fighting, punching, piling up points
by paying strict attention to the busi-
ness of the evening. He earned the
unanimous decision of Referee Johnny
McAvoy and the two judges, George
Kelly and Charley Lynch.
Braddock was just another flStic
'haS been" only year ago, getting up
off the floor in a preliminary to the
Baer-Carnera slugfest. That fight
started a comeback which led straight
to the end of the rainbow. with its
championship glory and the pot of
rrnld that Uicifc m tho
relief agency by the Braddock family.
Jinx Gets Max.
RAER was unable to dispel the jinx
- that has pursued every champion
to stake his title in the sprawling Long
Island City arena, including Max
Schmeling, Jack Sharkey and Primo
Camera.
Braddock won, not by any spectacu-
lar methods or margin, but because he
stuck everlastingly to his guns, stand
ing his ground in every exchange at
close range and using every resource
at his command to the best advan-
tage.
He proved not only that he was
courageous, willing and a steady
puncher, but that consistency has its
own reward.
Baer lost, despite gallant finish,
because he started too slowly, clowned
too much and found too late that he
could not put over anything resem-
bling a finishing blow against an op-
ponent who gave him few openings
and yielded no unnecessary ground.
The Californian fought bad fight,
but Braddock made him look bad.
Max hurt both hands, he said, before
the fifth round, but he didn't do it
because of using them too often.

RATE PUT
DOWN AGAIN

Steel demand is still receding
and ingot output has fallen from
471a to At per cent, while scrap,
as measured by the Iron Age COM
posite price, has dropped from
SLIT to $10.83 a ton. Whether
the decline in business reflects an
actual reduction in consumption
or merely mirrors the growing
conservatism of buyers cannot be
answered definitely at the present
juncture.
Without doubt a spirit of eau
ton, when it becomes pronounced
enough, affects consumption as
well as the volume of buying. Thus
far the automobile industry, pre-
mier steel consumer, has not
pared down its ambitious produc-
ton programs for March and
April, but it is increasingly appre-
hensive that retail demand will
react unfavorably to the numer-
Gus political and industrial dis
turbanceS of the day.
Most disconcerting Of recent de-
velopments was the reentry of the
baSing point issue into the ma
tional political arena. While the
report of the National Recovery
Administration on this subject is
regarded as much sounder and
fairer than that of the Federal
Trade Commission, it is feared
that adoption of the recommended
tionS of either body at this time
would result in far-reaching dis
locations in both business and en-
ployment. Pending the settlement
of this issue, as well as the fate
of the steel code, close buying will
be the rule and forward under
takingS will be discouraged.
The threat of a bituminous coal
strike on April ! is also a disturb
ing element in the market Situa-
ton, though fuel accumulations
are believed to be sufficient to
carry the steel industry for a mod
crate period.
Despite the general downward
tendency Of steel demand, tin
plate output has advanced from
IS to IS per cent of capacity.
Present schedules are based al
most entirely on actual releases,
though some Of the material will
be shipped at a later date. A large
part of the movement is for stock
ing at packing centers, but there is
also strong demand from gen
eral-line can makers.
