BAER SCORNS
LOUIS BATTLE

CHICAGO, April U.P) - Max
Baer today picked his own all-star
team of heavyweight challengers,
busted them off verbally for in
spection and decided that he prob
ably will retire as undefeated
champion of the world at some
future date.
He didn't think Joe Louis was a
contender at all and he wouldn't
mention James j. Braddock in the
same breath with Max Baer.
He mentioned that S250,00O was
a lot of money and declared in the.
same breath that Max Schmeling,
who has backing of that amount.
for an August bout in London,
probably is the best of the chal-
lengers.
Max can bring Hitler along to
referee a bout if s25O.0OO is posted
he said.
Explaining why he isn't interest
ed in Louis, Baer said he thinks
the punching Detroit youth is Just
another inexperienced youngster
who is being pushed too fast. He
picks Primo Camera, the Italian
hulk, to beat him June 10 in New
York.
Louis is just a third rater and
no better than my brother, Buddy"
the champion scoffed.
You can take it from me that
nobody's going to knock Carnera
out with one punch. The big
spaghetti juggler will keep getting
off the floor"
Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager.
interrupted to mention the s1,0O0.-
900 gate that Mike Jacobs of New
York predicted recently for
Louis-Baer fight in New York.
Baer said s1,00O,0OO is a lot of
money and maybe Louis is better
than he looks.
"I'll fight him if anybody wants
to pay" he said.

Mellon Reveals
His Sn1drtneSS

PITTSBURGH, April 3.(U,P)-An-
drew w. Mellon revealed today how
he out-smarted" stockholders
and gained control of the Union
Trust Company of Pittsburgh, whose
stock has sold as high as $4,000
share.
The 30-year-old banker, fighting
the federal government demand
for $3O00,000 more income taxes,
ehuckled as he told of forcing out
the early stockholders, who found
ed the bank with him. and buying
their shares.
No dreamer was Mellon, he ex-
planned to the board of tax appeals,
and he did not foresee the promi-
nence that the bank now has at
tained in the nations financial af-
fairs. But he merely felt, since the
other stockholders did not like his
methods, that they had better get
out, and they did.

Loaded With Wealth

WIFI hCdlth
Il am doubtful of my success,
however, for as you know, all the
great Indian wreStlerS are in the
stables of the great Maharajahs,
and money means nothing to them.
Cana is with the Maharajah of
Poono- o-something-o -the-other, and
when I saw him last had more
money than he knew what to do
with. Every time he'd win a
match, the Maharajah of Poono-
something or-the- other would
shower him with rubies big as eggs,
give him a thousand acres of land,
and more gold than you could
carry away in a sack.
IF 1 brought him over he'd re-
quire at least 25 steamship tickets,
for he wouldn't think of travelling
without his own religious advisers,
cooks. servants, and every damn
thing. But maybe 1 will be able to
convince him that for India'S sake,
the Gandhi mans sake, he should
come over here to America
How did Mons Curley think
Cana would take to this new
American wrestling, with its billy
goat butts, Irish whips, flying
tackles, and nonsense in general?
IF he was the Cana I used to
know, the Cana I saw knocking
off that buffalo in the picture
show he'd fix those fancy guys SO
they wouldn't do any butting for
the next 10 years. Oh, he'd really
work on 'em. I'll never forget DR..
Rollers first words when he woke
up in the hospital after the match
with Cana.
"What day is this Doc asked,
and why did you let 'em all hit me
at once"

NEW YORK. April 3-Inspired
bv a newsreel shot of a gentleman
dusting off a water buffalo with a
combination arm lock and body
slam. Mons. Jacques Curley, high
mogul of wrestling, will sail for In
dia soon in an effort to bring
Cana. the great one, to this coun-

CANA. as you doubtless know,

Omega, the Sigma M and the Chi
Phi. of wrestling. Twenty years ago
he was dusting 'em all. When
Cana, with his 230 pounds of grand
piano bone and muscle and flow
ing walrus moustache, stepped in
the ring, it was strictly a question
of how long. boys. how long.

the dear doc to a hospital for three
months.
Day before yesterday in a cine
ma that features newsreels, Mons.
Jacques Curley, who promoted Ga
mas matches with Stanislaus and
Doc Roller, nearly jumped out OF
his seat when a shot of Cana
throwing a water buffalo, was un-
folded.
Il thought he was dead" Mons.
Jacques said today, "and 1 like to
have tossed off fit when I saw
that picture of him working on
that buffalo. I swear he looked
just like he did in 1910 Even his
whiskers were the same. And I
could tell by the way he worked
on the buffalo that the years had
robbed him of none of his strength,
speed or cunning"
DO you consider a buffalo a fair
test for a wrestler?" we asked.
Definitely answered M ons.
Jacques, definitely. Water buf-
faloes are very powerful. And they
are very smart. But I could see
all through the short shot of game
that he was outthinking the buf-
falo by a full second. Then and
there 1 decided to go to India and
ask Cana to come here for a
match.

claimed. THE Lepages have renewed

put her arm impetuously around Bar

But Barbara deliberately eXtricated
herself from the embrace and stepped
a little apart.
"I'll just leave you with George to

sweetly. You seem to mean a great
deal more to him at the moment than
I do"
Adrienne spoke quickly. "You two
have been quarreling?" She looked
anxiously from one to the other. "Oh,

George answered her. "You know
what it's about" he exclaimed, with
a meaning look at Adrienne. And
what's more, if you do not tell her
yourself I'm going to-" he added en-
phatically.
Adrienne suddenly seemed to droop

What's the matter, Betsy?" The
old anxiety in his voice cut her
through. But was it anxiety? Wasn't
it impatience?
Oh, what was the matter? Thoughts,
bewilderingly dark and strange,
wheeled heavily through her mind.
Why couldn't she carry this thing
through bravely? John didn't love her
any more. Angelica had won him at
last. Those five months when she,
Betsy, had not seen him, when she
had been home writing tenderly of the
things that hurt her most, Angelica
had been going out with John, winning
him back. Yes, Johns love was dead
- so dead he could hold her close
to his heart, glide her across this

close to her own.

Barbara saw at glance that this

satisfaction.
Barbara was in a mood for action.
She quickly paid her bill and walked

Varnee's music rang in Betsy's ears.

The excitement and consciousness of
