Sit seems to me that Mr..
Max Adelbert Baer engaged In
some very poor business when
he knocked Mr.. Mackeral Levinsky
loose from his few remaining senses.
Not that was at all unwilling to
have Mr.. Mackeral Levinsky put in
the cooler. I've been waiting on that
for several years and then to think
that missed the spectacle.
However, Mr.. Baer will be wanting
to defend his heavyweight champion
ship next Summer. At the best, his
possible opponents are all too few and
mediocre in quality. And knocking
dents in tough chins such as Mr..
LeVinsky owns certainly is no way to
encourage the challengers to challenge.
Levinsky was one of the good old
iron horses Of boxing He made Jack
Dempsey forget his ideas of coming
back to the wars; he gave Mickey
Walker tough battle, and even spilled
the Rumson battler on the canvas.
Makes Them Cautious.
NNLY recently he fought draw
I at least the officials called it
that-with Art Lasky, one of the
few with ideas about meeting Baer
next Summer. Chicago had been
trying for several years to have
Levinsky knocked stiff without any
success. And then Baer come along
and does the job in two rounds. The
nitroglycerine in Baer's hands will
make any heavyweight cautious when
approached with an offer to play with
Make in a championship fight.
Just who will fight Baer next Sum-
mer? A lot of ink will be spilled on
that topic before long. Primo Car
nera hardly will be invited back and
Max Schmeling is in reverse. That
leaves Art Lasky and Steve Hamas.
Lasky has a good left hand but his
failure to win from Levinsky was no
recommendation.
Hamas probably is the best but he
has not been fighting much and
don't think he is big enough to stand
up with Baer. It will take big man
to give Baer any sort of a battle.
Baer is much in the same position as
Dempsey was. after Jack won the
title from Jess Willard, mo compe-
tition."
Max II Quieting Down.
THE boys over at Tom Kennedy's
place tell me that Baer has
been taking excellent care Of
himself since he won from Camera
and he proved that by s,nacking
LevinSky. Max still is young fellow
who likes life for its living but he is
not the merry Andrew Of his pre-
championship days. The unfortunate
gent who meets Max next Summer
will 90 up against one of the great
est fighting machines the ring has
known and at this distance I feel for
the man.
Baer is expected back in California
shortly. He has a motion picture to
complete and also has other business
matters needing his attention. In his
present fine condition, Baer will not
need a lot of training for his Summer
fight and his main task is determining
the who, when and where of the
championship battle. In the mean
time, my compliments to Mr.. Baer
for having extinguished the Levinsky
And knowing Chicago ring followers,
I can imagine that Max Adelbert is
quite the most popular fellow the
Loop has greeted in a long time.

LINE ON ALL DOGS
OBJECT OF A. K. c.
Plans to Gather a Library
That Will Answer Even
"Fod" Questions.

n YEw YORK, January 5.-No
M longer will there be a frantic
v search at the American Ken
mel Club headquarters here
when people ask such odd questions as
What was the pet name that Cleo
patra gave her Afghan hound?" How
old was Rip Van Wrinkles dog
Schneider when old Rip took him up
into the mountains?" and what kind
Of dog was Hector. the perennial
pup?"
When present plans Of the Library
erning body will have the finest refer
ence library on dogs in the world. 1t
will be a readily available source of
information for students, fanciers,
scientists and any one interested in
the history, the care, the breeding, the
training or any of a hundred other
aspects Of mans best friend"
The American Kennel Club always
has kept a small library on dogs, but
it was fragmentary and far from
complete on the majority of breeds.
Briefly, the plan calls for the eventual
acquisition of every worthwhile book
on each breed, so that no matter how
specialized a study is desired on any
particular breed. that material will
be available.
1000 Volumes Needed.
TINE first step toward establishing
a reference library on syste-
matte basis was taken a short
time ago with the naming of COM
mittee of which Hubert Rutherford
Brown, the publisher, is chairman,
and which also comprises William
Cary Duncan, the playwright; Louis
de Casanova, the editor OF the
American Kennel Gazette, James w.
Spring, the counsel to the A. K. c.,
and Edwin Megargee, the artist.
This committee has made a canvass
Of the field of canine literature and
has drawn up a list Of nearly 1000
volumes needed for proper reference
library.
The Library Committee expects to
bring before the next meeting of the
board Of directors the offers of several
weIl-known men to bequeath their
collections to the American Kennel
Club. These cannot be announced
until they have been acted upon by
the board.
It is the expectation that very few
books will be purchased by the A. K.
c., as there are many fanciers
throughout the United States who are
