NEW YORK, September 90
Mike Jacobs, promoter of the
forthcoming Max Baer-Joe Louis
heavyweight fight, has the statis-
ticaliy- minded boys digging into
the records.
The way the tickets are going it
appears that the record books will
serve only one purpose-determine
by what margin, financial and
otherwise. the Baer-Louis fight will
eclipse previous record-making at
tendances in New York.
Jacobs intended to have accom-
modations for only 10000 ticket
holders, good for a gate of 100000,
but the prospects today were for a
capacity house of nealy 100000 in
the Yankee Stadium next Tuesday
night and gate receipts in the
neighborhood of s1,200,000, includ-
ing taxes.
We've got 100000 that We can
count right now" said Jacobs.
The way the advance sale is
going, it looks like capacity. In
fact, to meet the extraordinary
demands, We have rearranged the
original seating plans to handle

Tunney and Dempsey.

LEW experts strayed off the broad
path in picking Dempsey to stop
Carpenter and Firpo in early rounds.
This reasoning vas sound, although
Ffrpo nearly crossed the bunch by
mailing Jack with a long, shaggy right
paw.
But later on another king was tossed
into the fundamental scheme, when
most of the bunch went haywire on
Dempsey to rumple Tunney into a
shapeless mass. Most of the bunch. in
picking Dempsey to win by a knock
out or by decisive margin, overlooked
these factors:
l. Gibbons, good boxer, had given
him trouble and had lasted Is rounds.
2. Tunney had outboxed and had
outpunched Gibbons later on.
3. Tommy Loughran had outboxed
Jack with bale to spare at Atlantic
City in a training workout.
Reviewing these details in their
proper order, the logical deduction
should have been that Tunney had
at least an even chance against a
fighter who had been clinging to the
top for seven years-against fighter
who always had been bothered by
such smart, clever boxers as Gibbons,
Loughran and Harry Greb.
Tunney had his supporters
but Dempsey carried the ad-
vance vote by an overwhelming
majority that still looked to
Jacks flaming ring spirit and
his harder punches to carry the
day.
But the logic of the situation didn't
point that way, looking over the past
performance chart.

- 2O.-Eddie (Babe) Risko's
beetled and battered brow bore
u the middleweight boxing crown
today while Teddy Yarosz, from whom
he won it, wondered about his ring
future with trick" knee.
Risko eked out a 15-round decision
from a title-holder performing almost
on one leg alone last night.
The Monaco, Pa, boxers right knee,
injured first last New Year day when
Risko defeated him at Scranton, Pa,
with a technical knockout in nom
title go, caved in again last night.
After the fight Yarosz said he began
to experience trouble with the knee
from the first round. possibly from the
rain which drenched the ring and the
1928 paid customers.
Well Matched in Weight.
Yarosz weighed 1887 pounds while
his 'conqueror from Syracuse, N. Y,
came in at 1884. Yarosz got a
guarantee Of s25,OOO from the S3l 1862
gate.
Risko promised, after the fight, to
give the Monaco lad a chance to win
back the middleweight crown when
ever the latter's bad knee is recovered
sufficiently.
Yarosz's knee collapsed during a
faint brush with the challenger in the
fourth round. He Topped with his
knee straight out, and arose at the
count Of one. The bell ended the
round soon afterward. Yarosz re-
appeared with his knee bound tightly.
Yarosz, who won the title September

- REGULATOR, N. Y. Septem-
ber 20-In the midst of a
hullabaloo of words the point
~ came up that boxing experts
are picking Joe Louis over Max Baer
by the margin of two to one. This is
the census taken up TO date.
Spectator is long way from Great
Falls, Mont. But this gossip recalled
certain night in Great Falls when
more than 40 experts were called upon
to cast their vote on the outcome of
the Dempsey Gibbons meeting.
Practically the entire platoon picked
Dempsey to win by knockout some
where between the third and seventh
rounds. Few gave Gibbons a shade
any lighter than indigo. But Gibbons
still was there at the end of Is
rounds.
This IS what had happened in that
"far-away and long-ago" setting. Most
of us had overlooked the fact that
Tom Gibbons boxing ability and his
ring SmartneSs made him a tough
target to tag. Most hard punchers
must get set. You can't get set against
good boxer who is also using the old
bean. So a flock of good guessers
went wrong by overlooking certain
fundamental.
