~H1CAGo. April 2.-Discussion
1 Of the complicated question
Of when, where and with
whom Max Baer will defend
his world heavyweight championship,
proceeded today-but with no special
prospect that 1t would be solved right
away
Most of the bidding and counter
bidding was being done by the Twen-
tieth Century Sporting Club of New
York, a recently formed organization,
and the Chicago Stadium-but New
York's Madison Square Garden appar-
emily held the ace of trumps.
The Garden has Baer tied up at
least until the end Of June, and the
champions manager, Ancil Hoffman,
says he can't make any dates for
fights until the Garden contract is full
filled. The Garden, however, so far
has not been able to get suitable
opponent for title bout with Baer.
Seek Baer-Louis Exhibition.
THE Chicago promoters, Jim Null
len and Nate Lewis, appear
more concerned with the imme-
diate future than with championship
bouts later in the year. However, one
of their latest proposals. four-round
exhibition between Baer and Joe Louis,
the Detroit negro sensation, might in
terfere with the Twentieth Century
Clubs plans.
knI, Lov fnr the
latter group, announced from New
York last night that he had reached
an agreement with Hoffman for a
meeting next September between
Baer and the winner Of the Primo
Carnera Louis battle. A four-rounder
between the champion and the Negro
star might, or might not, do the
Twentieth Century Clubs plans, If
they 60 through, some good.

ITOFFMAN said Jacobs announce
ment was not exactly true.
again citing the contract with
Madison Square Garden. However, he
said, he was interested in the propo-
sition if it could be arranged.
At the same time he had not def1-
nitely turned down the Chicago Sta
dium's four-round exhibition offer.
The stadium would stage the exhibi-
ton April Is, but prefers a l0-round
non-title match April IL. If a suitable
opponent can be rounded up.
Joe Jacobs, manager Of former
champion Max Schmeling, also had
dealt himself a hand. He is after a
championship bout for the German
to be held in Chicago next June.

ceiye a half-dozen golf balls each

that the member shall play golf at
least once each week and shall wear

Out at Washington the golfers are
all steamed up over the addition of
one c. A. Albertis as a member. Mr..
Albertis, according to those who have

NJ ORE firmly established than
Ml ever on the District welter-
VI weight throne, Flighty Phil
Furr today turned his eyes
beyond his own domain in search of
further boxing laurels.
1t was case of necessity, not pref
erence, with the lanky boy who came
out Of Foggy Bottom, unpublished and
uncut. and blossomed into probably
the ClaSSieSt of any homegrown piece
of fistic machinery in recent years.
Sid Silas, currently the chief con-
tender, has been removed, definitely
and positively, by Furr's SlaShing fists
in a seven-round knockout victory.
And to make Furr's supremacy
more complete. two other potential
challengers-with little imagination
were eliminated on the same card
last night, but with, if anything, even
more positiveness.
Roddy Davis, a former stablemate
who always hankered for a crack at
Flighty Phil, seems a has been" at an
amazingly tender age, following a
half-round kayo by the veteran
Stumpy Jacobs. The case of Bob
Lowry, still another ex-stablemate,
is even more pathetic. Bobs future
today rests with the healing of jaw
broken in two places.
Set Down Four Times.
TOUR times Silas climbed off the
canvas last night before Furr and
Referee Muggsy Morris put a
stop>t to proceedings, but ere his time
WIS up Sid found occasion to insert
anApril Fool threat which might have
been downright tragic-to Furr. Silas'
big moment came in the fifth when
he whipped wicked right-hand swing
flush on Flighty Phil's jaw and
knocked him into the ropes, while
the Washington Auditorium's typical
anti-favorite crowd rose to its feet
and howled with glee.
The only injury Furr sustained
was to his pride, however, and with
a savage counter attack he beat down
his rival to the floor for the third
time to save the round.

Except for that big moment. Furr
was in complete command, though
he obviously took Silas more lightly
than he regarded Jackie Davis and
Johnny Jadick. Seemingly claSsier
every time he steps to the post under
Chris Dundee's management, Furr
wasted no time in piling up lead.
Before the scrap was much more
than two minutes old, Flighty Phil
landed short right hand a la Joe
Louis, on the onrushing SilaS' chin.
Sid dropped like plummet, but calm
ly took an eight count on one knee
and was in good shape when he arose.
Again in the second round Silas was
dumped to the floor, this time from a
left hook that was beautifully exc
cuted. Again he took eight and arose

A pass to Larry by Diggs opened
the Washington ninth. Holbrook tried
to sacrifice, but only succeeded in
forcing out Lyn. A wild pitch ad-
vanced Holbrook, but he only made
third when Powell lofted double
against the left-field stand. Myer
rolled to the second-Sacker, who threw
too late to nip Holbrook at the plate.
Run Bases Poorly.
THE Nationals ran the bases like
the Navy Yard Midgets. They
never seemed to know what it
was all about. Finally, in the ninth,
they had the bases full after the score
had gone over, but for some un-
known reason. Sington strolled about
q dozen yards of first base after the
ball had been returned to the pitcher
following a foul catch. Myer and
Powell also had heavy leads, and a
merry chase for each of these three
runners began. At last. after Powell
had been run dizzy. he was tagged
out near home.

Silas rushed Phil constantly, while the
Foggy Bottomite appeared to throw

Then came the awakening in the
