Baer Is Like Man With Only Knife
Against Louis Carrying Pair O. Guns.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

evenly matched, with the Louis left
as a stand-off for the Baer right hand
at the moment of impact, then the
faster and the more accurate puncher
has all the jump.
Baer's right hand must travel at
least two feet before it develops the
momentum needed to reach the danger
zone. Once this right hand gets
under way. it finishes with the speed
of rattlesnake on the strike.
Against this, Louis needs only a
foot's leeway, half the distance, to in
fiict just as much damage, and he
has two hands with which to aim.
1t takes no deep expert or any scin-
tillating brain to figure out what the
net result should be if the dope runs
true to form.

The Louis Guess.

WITH no thought of backing away
w or sidestepping the call. the one
big guess surrounding Joe Louis is
his age and his lack of experience
less than IS months of professional
fighting, against flock of palookas in
the main.
Those who pick Louis must jam a
lot of faith into form and style and
method when you look at most of the
pulverized puppets his two fists have
brushed aside.
1t isn't the people Louis has beaten
that counts with me, but the method
and manner of his work A fighter
doesn't have to prove his gameness
when he moves in-when he shuff1es
forward from the first second of the
fight. If Louis were afraid of being
hit-if he thought he couldn't take
it, he would be much more of a de-
fensive fighter than he is.
Men rarely move into danger
zones with shaking knees or
futtering hearts.
Both Louis and Baer are game
enough, as far as that section of the
diagnosis goes. ! know Max Baer can
take it until the lights go out-and
I'm not looking for Louis to jump out
Of the ring. no matter what happens.
There still must remain the guess as
to what will happen if Baer happens
to park one of those savage, whistling
rights against the Bomber's jaw.
1t won't then be so much a uues-
ton of quitting. but it will be new
and strange experience in his pro-
feSsional career-to which the final
answer can be given only Tuesday
night if Baer happens to land on a
vulnerable spot.
Against this, Max first must find
some way to loop that right around
or over the quick and cunning Louis
guard. And against this, one might
ask. what will happen when Max
is hit harder than any one has hit
him yet-harder and oftener?

N YEW YORK, September %
N Max Baer and Joe Louis, a
" pair of names you may have
4 heard before, now are ready
for the bell, with all the artillery and
ammunition each can lug inside the
ropes.
Either man would be completely
looney if he hadn't got ready with
everything he had to give for Tues
DAYS million dollar show.
In addition to the 80 per cent Baer
and Louis each will collect, a net that
should run over 100000, the winner
of the smuggling party stands face to
face with a shot at the heavyweight
championship and at least an extra
half million more.
1t stands to reason neither
fighter is going to let that gold
trimmed opportunity fade into
the Autumn night, If skill. pow
er. speed, durability and even
desperation can turn the trick.
Joe Louis, the tawny tiger-cat from
Alabama and Michigan, never two
steps away from condition in his life,
has had the easier road. The main
burden has been thrown across the
massive shoulders of Max Baer, who
turned from the primrose highway to
the Northern woods for six weeks of
the hardest training he ever has
known.
Baer has done all any fighter could
do in six weeks time to turn the free
and careless living of several years
into the sinew and stamina, the power
and the punch that will be needed to
break through the Bomber's catlike
guard and stand up before his two
slashing sets of claws.
There is no questioning the
fact that Max Baer has gone to
the end of the road to get ready
for this showdown.
Three months ago his crown was
hammered from the top of his curly
head by a fighter who had been beaten
% times in previous starts. Baer was
not only beaten, but almost disgraced
by the weak, faltering defense he put
up that night as Braddock came along
to win.
Tomorrow he has his chance to re-
cover not only the territory he lost
in June, but to head for the prom
ised land loaded with fame and gold.
Baer's Big Burden.
MAX BAER has got ready with the
best he has to throw into the
lap of the gods. The big question is
this-will this best be enough?
He has not only had to carry the
heavier load of regaining physical
form. He also has had to get ready
for an opponent who can outlook him
from here to Halifax-who can out
punch him in a tWo-handed attack
who is much quicker when the gun
fire opens with either hand.
AS sporting philosopher once said,
"The race is not to the swift-nor
the battle to the strong, but that is
where to look"
Baer must gamble on raw
gameness, a cast-iron jaw and
the stunning thud of whistling
right hand to find the open way
to victory.
He must throw this gamble against
a finished boxer who can hurt any,
body he hits with either hand, thrown
from a shorter range, with better
speed and greater accuracy.
AS the two men shape up, 1t will
be the overpowering margin of speed
and accuracy that will decide this
Highland these happen to be two of
the biggest guns Joe Louis will carry
into action.
If you grant that the power is

OUCH outburStS consume many times
more energy than smooth, regular
fighting. He pays heavily for this.
When he is through such a rage the
after effect is momentary as if he
were paralyzed.
Louis, in contrast. relaxes between
the punches. His rhythm of fighting
is like the heart beats, contracting and
relaxing. That is why he never seems
to tire
Joe Louis warming-up is even, in
creasing gradually to heat. Even his
flashes of attack seem organized, in
the line of normal development He
flares up in attack, in the training
ring at least, in tempo with his OPP
ponent. When his sparring partner
hits hardest. Joe wades in with still
harder punches.
However great the contrast seems
between the pair, they have several
fundamental things in common. Both
are yet to mature mentally, both have
an unusual narrow range Of interests.
Both possess deadly punch.
