THE SPORTZICHT
Baer Didn't ''Choose to Fight in Worst
Title Defense Exhibition Tunney Ever Saw.
BY GRANTLAND RICF,

Ia approximation Of boxing OF
punching.
"Baer gave nothing-not even
through the closing rounds, when he
saw his crown slipping off.
1T was an amazing thing to see
a $500 900 title fading away. with
the champion apparently having lit
tie fighting interest in trying to get
it back
TT seemed to me that pride alone
would have forced Baer to show more
than he did For he showed almost
nothing, either as boxer or q
puncher.
''Braddock was dead game and gave
all he had That's all you can ask
from any man."
And still the question is only partly
answered In a few furries. Baer
proved he could dominate the show.
But these f1urries were never ex-
tended-never carried through.
"Baer let them die on the vine, Just
when they looked to be ripened and
ready to pick.
Even with bruised or broken hands,
real champion never would have
clowned on the losing side.
Max is said he is through with
the ring.
With any pride at all left in his
system, he can hardly quit on that
last stand.
1T would leave him stranded below
Willard, Camera and Sharkey in the
heavyweight rating.
You remember, l told you," Tunney
said, that If Schmeling had used his
head at all he could have beaten Baer.
For I could see that Baer was getting
discouraged. That he wasn't liking
it any too we'll.
"Schmeling didn't use his head-but
Braddock did. With plenty of heart
thrown in"

MILE OF CENTURY
THREATENS MARK
Cunningham, LoveIock and
Bonthron Are Primed for
Race at Princeton.
BY the Associated Press

by the AhSOClaleO HTeSS.
N RINCETON, N. j., June Is
- Watch out for that record,
Father Time, the worlds fastest
milers are coming up the track.
They are shooting at the 405 mile
which years ago was thought to be
only a dream. Six runners, three of
whom have come pretty close to that
time. get of the mark today in the
mile of a century" the climactic
event in Princeton's second annual in
vitation track and field meet
Glenn Cunningham who holds the
existing record of 4:O6-7 which he set
in the same meet a year ago, ruled a
favorite to breeze home first, but Jack
Lovelock of New Zealand, medical stu
dent who came all the way from Eng
land to run in the event; Bill Bon
thron, former Princeton track cap
tain; Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania,
Joe Msngan, former Cornell captain,
and Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla, had
to be reckoned with.
With such class in the field, the
record hung from a very slender
thread.

Braddock Mere PIodder.

RRADDOCK beat Baer cleanly and
strictly on his own merits, but the
best that can be said for him is that
he's the latest beneficiary in an err
ratio line of heavyweights who have
been initiating numpty-dumpty for
the past six years. He's still just a
plodder.
Even if allowances are made for his
tad hands, it is difficult to reconcile
Baer's lackadaisical title defense with
his record over the previous few years
as an annihilating puncher He did
not choose to fight at the outset, and
when he found the tide running so
strongly against him he didn't dis
play enough to Offset Braddock's big
lead.
The answer may be that Baer sud-
Eenly has gone down hill or that he
simply can't do his best against a
steady, shifty. plodding boxer who can
take it, and keep boring back. He
h1ay not lack fortitude, but he cer-
tainly lacks concentration, which hap
bens to be essential in pugilism as well
as any other business.

SCHMEL|NG SEEN
J|MMY'S NEXT FOE
New Champ to Defend Title
in '36-LikeIy to Make
100000 This Year.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor,


n TEw YORK, June 15.-If COM
N petition means new life for the
heavyweight flstic trade, James
j. Braddocks stunning victory
over Max Baer has assured it for at
least another year by sharply cleavirg
the warning ranks of metropolitan
promoters.
Braddock, lined up with Madison
Square Garden, probably will fight
Max Schmeling of Germany for the
title in June, 1886. Meanwhile, Baer,
despite a pair OF damaged hands and
a doubtful fighting future, has agreed
to fight the winner of the forthcoming
Primo Carnera-Joe Louis bout in a
September match under the auspices
of the New Twentieth Century Sport
ing Club at one of the New York ball
parks. Carncra and Louis meet June
25 at the Yankee Stadium.
The new champion may not last
any longer on top than any of his
immediate predecessors. He is the
fifth heavyweight title holder since

1923 and the international scramble

Casts Lot With Garden.

A LONG as he holds the crown,
"A however. the Garden retains the
whiphand in the big title situation.
The Gardens door was open for Brad
docks comeback opportunity and the
heroic veteran of the relief rolls will
cast the balance of his fstic future
with the organization which has been
struggling. like Jimmy himself, from
being shaken off the heavyweight tree
ever since Tex Rickard died.
Scarcely less happy than Braddock
himself. consequently. were Col. John
Reed Fitzpatrick, the president. and
James j. johnson, the scrappy little
promoter of the Garden corporation.
They promoted the bout with misgiv-
irgs and ran the risk of financial fail
ure. Like Braddock, they came out
with little except the assets which
mean forthcoming profits as we'll as
prestige.
Fitzpatrick said the temptation to
put Braddock back into the ring this
Fall in defense of the title had been
discarded because of the conviction it
is impossible successfully to build up
more than one heavyweight title
match year.

w YHAT happened to Baer7
M One answer might be a
v v fellow by the name Of
DuollonIr

James J. Braddock.
But that isn't enough
Another answer might be pair of
bruised or broken hands.
Even that isn't enough.
For the first four rounds Baer
didn't do enough punching to break
the cuticle of custard' pie much
less his hands.
You don't break hands waving them
in the air or merely making threat
ening gestures.
Broken hands from the fourth
round on wouldn't account for the
fact that Braddock, supposed TO be
outclaSsed, took entire charge of the
show for the first three rounds-did
all the leading-all the boxing-all
the punching-all the fighting, as the
heavyweight champion of the world
showed about as much interest in de-
Tending his title as stevedore would
show in keats.
The main answer is that the erratic
Max once again came to an evening
where he didn't choose to fight"
The same thing happened against
Pauline in Reno, when Jack Dempsey
pleaded, cursed and threatened to
throw Baer out of the ring. The
same thing happened against Johnny
Risko.
Max Baer and Jack Sharkey fight
when they feel like it and they won't
fight when they don't.
And a title at stake could mean no
difference at all to either man.
Evening star., 1935-06-15
Baer Out Of Picture,

by THE same token, Baer hardly will
i get the chance for a return
match with Braddock, even if he
wants one. The Garden already is on
record as barring either Louis or
Carnera from a title chance under
Braddock's regime
Braddock emerged from his con-
quest with scarcely $1,000 to be "cut"
up for the benefit of his manager,
family, handlers and the grocery man.
However, the public reaction to his
rise is such that he should have no
difficulty making 100000 this year
from various sources of revenue. He
already is in much demand for vaude-
vile engagements, exhibitions and en-
oorsements.
Jimmy's triumph has struck one OF
the happiest and most responsive
notes in modern pugilistic history,
but there's no tendency to magnify
his stature or class him with the
great heavyweights of the Sullivan to
Tunney line.

Not Annoyed by Wait.

THE Gardens big chief recognizes
this puts the champion at COM
petitive disadvantage, but none of
those concerned, including Braddock,
seem to be worried on that score.
Besides. If the jinx which has pur-
sued all champions in the Garden
Bowl continues effective. the new title
holder will be just as well pleased to
put of the evil day another year.
This means the Garden will have
no counter attraction this September
to the prospective offering of rival
promoters. The Twentieth Century
Club has Art Lasky, one of Braddock' S
victims, lined up to fight the Camera
Louis winner. if Baer changes his
mind again about trying q comeback.
The Garden would like to give
Schmeling a test before sending him
into the ring against Braddock, but
the available field is strictly limited.
The natural" would be another Baer-
Schmeling contest, but they are on
opposite sides of the fence now and

'But the point is that the club Is
playing good ball without him. The
youngsters are coming through like
nobody expected they would, better
than ever thought they would.
Goodman is a fine outfielder and
a good hitter. Myers and Kampouris
are playing great ball around second
base. Sullivan is a good hitter, though
he's not such a fancy fielder around
first base. We still need Bottomley." +"

can think up some wonderfully
original questions.
"Well," said Mr.. Dresser, "we're
short handed, for one thing. We've

another thing, haven't had a chance
