| failed. When he had shot his best
belt and it didn't take, he was
ready to quit. Baer in fact, has
intimated on more than one occas-
ion that he didn't really knock
Schmeling out in the eleventh, but
that the German, having decided
he had had enough, took the short
way home.
1t was the same in Baers fights
with Carnera, Levinsky and the late
Ernie Schaaf. 1 remember partic-
ularly Maxs fight with Schaat
here a few years ago. Max fin
ally won simply because Schaaf had
worn himself to a thread beating
on Max for the first five rounds.
So, when they throw Louis and
Max in there I'll be watching to
see what happens when the Negro
whips across the first genuine left
hook or straight hook. If, when it
lands. Baer staggers or goes white
or stumbles into a clinch, I'll know
it's all over but the shouting. But
if. with the crack of the fist on his
Jaw. he shakes himself a bit and
then. giving Louis that mad grim
ace, Wades in swinging, I'll settle
back to watch one hell of fight.

PREPARESFOR
WORLD SERIES

DETROIT, Sept. 5. UR)-Mickey
Cockhrane and Frank and Charles
Navin believe the 1885 American
League pennant is as good as
nailed to the flagstaff in Navin
field.
They refuse to admit this is the
thought uppermost in their minds.
They don't have to. World series
preparations at Navin field speak
for themselves.
First, permission was obtained
from the Detroit city council to
block off Cherry street, behind the
left field bleachers. Last year tenn
porary bleachers to accommodate
more than 1900 spectators were
built there.
Workmen today moved the new
electrically lighted scoreboard to
right field, where it will be out OF
the way of these operations.
Another group was re-sodding the
infield, while pounding hammers
rang out from the press boxes on
top of the grandstand roof.
j instead OF tearing down the left
s.. field wall as was done last year,
the temporary bleachers will be
built up and over the wall, putting
the first row of seats some 40 feet
closer to home plate.
Distance to the bleachers will be
300 feet from the batters' box.
However, home run balls will have
to hurdle a 15-foot wire screen
which is to be erected in front of
the seats, or they will drop back in
to tie park for a double at most.

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The thing
is scheduled for Is three minute
rounds, but to my way of thinking
we will know the answer to the
problem presented by Joe Louis and
Max Baer within a minute after the
men touch gloves and come out
fighting.
Most of my colleagues are of the
opinion that the big question mark
of the fight is-can Louis take a
punch? I disagree. To me, the
really vital question is how Baer
will react to the dynamite loaded
in the Negros fists. If you have
followed Baer right from the be-
ginning you know that the Cali
fornia gained the top, not so much
because of his own punch, but be-
cause of his remarkable ability to
absrob everything the other fellow
had -
I don't think it's too much to say
that Max won most of his fights
right at the time when his oppon-
ents first cracked him with their
Sunday-go-to-meeting best and
stepping back to watch him fall
were greeted with a malicious grin
that said, better than words:
us that your best, you tramp?
Well, if it is you're in for hell OF
a beating"
That's exactly what happened to
Max Schmeling when he fought
Baer. Thirty seconds after the op-
ening bell of that fight the Ger
man got Baer where he wanted
him and, setting squarely down on
the soles of his feet, threw as
wicked right hand as he knew
how. And let nobody tell you that
Schmeling, in those days, couldn't
take your head off with a right
The punch caught Baer squarely
between the eyes and Schmelin9

nian room to fall.
Didn't Dunk Him
But he didn't fall. Instead, he
smiled that grin of his which
brings out all the muscles in his
neck, muttered something unintelll'
gible to those in the working press
and threw a left hand which rat
tied the German celan down to his
toes.

they stopped it, but actually end

BATTLES To

Today and Tomorrow Only

y NEW YORK, Sept. 4. UP)-The
N934 baseball seasons most battling
riddle is: What caused the decline
OF Al Simmons, once the scourge OF
American League pitchers?
For the first time in his major
league career Simmons seems likely
to drop below the 300 mark in
batting The Chicago White Sox
outfielder is batting only 269, in
comparison to an average of .354
for II years in the majors.
Simmons, who is the second high
est paid player in the majors, has
tried every remedy he ever heard OF
to shake off his batting slump, and
all have failed. But he had one
ace in the hole.
II have fretted and fumed and
experimental all season." he said.
But 1 haven't been able to get
rid of the worst slump of my career.
have asked every catcher in the
league what was wrong with my
batting, and each one told me
something different. I tried every
suggestion. 1 even ran off pictures
made of me when I was hitting
close to 400 with the Athletics and
!, tried to discover something TO get
me back in stride.
"Eyerythings failed, and I can't
understand it because in every 9TH
er way I'm better off than at any
time in my life. I'm happily mar
ried. I don't have TO worry about
money. My physical condition is
better than in years
T Then Simmons, whose salary is
$27,500 per season, suddenly bright
ened up and said:
"Ill let you in on a secret. l
think I've fought out the trouble
won't tell you what it is, but I'm
so confident that I'll stage a come
back next season that I'll bet any
one $1,000 l bat over .325.'
Simmons has collected about
$275,000 in salary during his base
ball career, a figure topped by on
ly one other player, Babe Ruth.
Lou Gehrig, whose salary is about
$4,000, is the only player in the
majors with a larger salary than
Simmons.
