falo, the following year, then
misfortune overlook him.
Thrown Out in 1893
An injured ankle, shattered
hands, a severe cut over his
right eye-all these things befell
Braddock as he stumbled through
a career that seemed to have
been charted in reverse. He was
thrown out Of a ring with Abe
Feldman, a bout declared mo
contest" in the fall of 1888, and
returned to the longshoreman's
berth.
A year ago, almost to a day, he
was recalled to the ring, again as
a trial horse. Corn Griffin came
out OF the South, heralded as a
prospect, and, like a lamb for the
slaughter, Braddock was selected
for the sacrifice. Jim was floored
IN the first round, but with the
courage born of adversely he arose
and knocked out Griffin in the
third round.
Braddock rested on these laurels
until John Henry Lewis came from
the Coast, a menace to the light
heavyweight title. He lost the de-
c1slon to Braddock in 10 rounds.
His fighting spark rekindled, Brad
dock sought more action. But
tights were scarce, for he had
been changed from an inferior foe
man to positive menace.
Defeated LaSky
Art LaSky was then being
groomed for the heavyweight title,
and Braddock had become a full
blown heavyweight. They were
paired, but illness prevented the
bout and Braddock lay idle. Last
March Lasky reported himself fit,
and when they claShed in Madison
Square Garden Braddock romped
off with the decision and Lasky
retreated to an obscurity from
which he has not since emerged.
The victory over Lasky had
pushed Braddock fully into the
limeight and the State Athletic
Commission rated him the No. /
challenger for the title and ordered
Max Baer to defend his crown
against the rejuvenated husky, or
be denied the privilege of fighting
in this State.
That is the history, in brief, of
the new worlds heavyweight
champion. His life has been like
q page from fiction, with it's hum

GR|FFS ELATED
OVER ORLANDO
CAMP MOVE
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

CHICAGO, Ill, June 1.-THE
Griffs have swung on the Florida
band wagon for 1886, as predicted
by this writer last March. and the
players smiled through the woe OF
their third straight defeat at the
hands of the Chicago White Sox
as they contemplated their de.
liverance from Biloxi, Miss.
From Bucky Harris, manager,
down to the rawest recruit on the
squad, all hands are glad of the
shift to beautiful Orlando.
Smart Move
BY going to Florida to train
President Griffith is showing
nothing more than the common
sense usually attributed to bust,
ness men. With the exception of
Pittsburgh, Cubs, Indians, White
Sox, and the Griffs, every other
major league team trained in
Florida last year. For the last 10
years the winner of the world
series trained in Florida.
Dramatically, Orlando is ideal.
Inland, but with night zephyrs
tempering the kindly summer
heat that works wonders with ball
players arms and legs, teams
training in this paradise by the
lakes lost only three days work in
three years.
Good Ball Park
The ball park Is standard. It
was laid out by engineers under
the supervision Of major league
experts. Joe Tinker, of the "Evers
to Tinker to Chance" trio, lived
for years in Orlando. Now John
Camel, former first baseman of
major and minor league fame, is
in the employ of the Chamber of
Commerce.
We can sum up the satisfaction
of the players over the shift to
Orlando in the words of Capt.
Buddy Myer:
eve will really be in condi-
ton to start season next year."
said Buddy. I'VE will have
major league competition, and
that will do the work. Biloxi
was no place to train a club, be-
cause Of lack Of competition.
This Is good news to me-"
II certainly approve Of it,"
said Bucky Harris, who finds
little to approve of in life right
now.

was frantic for a killing. But
Braddock spared with him toe

and thus made Baer appear
most mediocre. A champion as

how to- dispose of a challenger
i, who has just passed 20 and
somewhat beyond the age where
fighters reach the top, naturally
seems in somewhat of an awk-

I believe Braddock will be a
popular champion and a sue

is a typical American, a family

under 4, and successful because
he has the bit in his teeth now,

nothing ludicrous about it. After
the fight Baer said:
"My left hand buckIed under
me in the second round. / hated
to use 1t after that. 1t was like
. knife"
Too bad. then, that he didn't
add the right to the list of dam
ages and thus have two knives,
one for each hand. Only in that
way could this heavyweight cham
pion have been saved from the
ignominy Of making the most gro
tesque defense Of the title ever wit
messed in the modern age. Maybe
he couldn't fight. Maybe he
wouldn't. In any case, he didn't.
Nailed with Right
More than that, I'm convinced
now that the man is without ordi-
nary gumption. He was losing
practically every round when, in
the seventh. he was nailed with a
right to the chin. The crowd,
estimated at 10000, really came
to life when it thought this Fal-
staff was on his way down. In
stead, he was only pranking-but
don't let them tell you he didn't
give a wonderful performance.
In the twelfth he was getting
slightly the better of an exchange
in Braddock's corner when the
latter's second rose in protest of
an allegedly low punch. Immedi-
ately our hero dropped everything
else to stand and argue with a
lot of chumps-and this at a
time when he was many rounds
behind.
Somewhere in the first five,
when the crowd got on him for
flinging Braddock out of clinch,
he promptly abandoned the prize
fight and executed a mock bow
and, in the fifteenth, when the
seconds were hurrying on around
the clock, he stopped to argue
with Referee McAvoy after the
latter ordered him to break. Elk
plain it? You can't even write
about it with conference.
Before the prize fight I offered
to go off the Empire State tower
to pay my bet on Baer. I also
promised to take Baer with me.
For myself, can only say that,
rather than ever write seriously
about sports again, I shall do bet
ter than the tower. shall go off
the curbstone, which seems aw-
fully high to me just now. You
see, I've been wrong before, but I
kind Of think I exceeded the priv
lege last night.
Talks About Quitting
For Baer, there isn't any doubt
about what he'll do. I'm sure he
hasn't sen-e to go off the Empire
State or even the false front of
Barney'S Clothing Emporium, Inc.
He did talk about quitting It all
last night, but again he has me
at disadvantage. I thought ne
did that in the ring. But that's
probably giving Baer too much
credit and Braddock to little.
And a man giving Braddock too
little credit today might as we'll
change his name or leave the
country. In other words, you've
simply got to recognize the fan
tastic nature of this victory, gained
so clearly as to leave the decision
of three officials and 10000 per-
sons practically unanimous. He
has to have more than destiny and
the Garden Bowl jinx to do that.

leagues. Besides he has a pretty
fair position with MIRA and he
knows that Uncle Sam never fails
to pay off.
Barry played minor league base
ball for six years. He was up with
the Baltimore orioles for a short
spell, and the last minor league
outfit he performed with was
Clarksburg Of the Middle Atlantic
League.
On Sundays Barry displays his
wares with the st. Mary'S Celtics
of Alexandria. He is a prime
favorite in the Virginia city.
In fact, Jack Tuloch, demon
sports editor of the Alexandria
Gazette, the oldest paper in the
United States, claims he is the
best player on the team, and Tul-
loch knows baseball from A to z.
+ Barry is not what you call
slugger, but he can give the ball
q merry ride If he connects
Squarely. He is as fast as streak
of lightning, and he invariably
beats out grounders to the infield-
ers. He is an excellent bunter,
being able to place the ball with
regularity.
The Kraft Paper Mill Company,
Of West Point, Va, offered Barry
$3.50 a month to perform with the
Chesapeake team, but he refused.

Braddock, rested after his
bout with Baer, said today he
would not fight Primo Camera,

troit Negro sensation, in his first
defense of the crown, because
Camera ran out of the elimina.
