GHOSTS STALK
". B. "a. AFTER
Il YEARS
Railroad, Broke, Makes
Last Run With But
Two Passengers

Ghosts walked today through
the deserted terminal of the
Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis railway.
At New York Avenue and Elev-
enth Street, where crowds once
clamored to board trains, the
place was deserted. Two men,
"just sitting" occupied a forlorn
bench.
For q years the terminal had
been the scene of busting &C
tivity. Today, the railroad,
"broke," had gone out of bust
ness. The men who ran it are
gone.
2 Passengers on Last Run
Never again, unless some
miracle of finance or transporta-
ton brings the system again into
operation, will it resume the role
it has filled for more than a
quarter of a century.
Last night the last train crept
out of the terminal, almost an
empty shell. It carried two pas
sengers destined for Baltimore.
William H. Bell, who piloted
the train when the road began
operation, was in the cab on the
final run.
100 Employees Retained
On his first trip the train was
damned with passengers, and the
lack of patronage noticeable on
the final trip was mute evidence
of the inroads made on the lines
business by BUSES and private
automobiles.
Sold at a receivers sale in
July, the road was taken over
today by the Baltimore and An.
napolis Railroad Company, but
the South Shore and washington
routes are being abandoned, with
only the old Annapolis shore line
still in operation.
Only 100 of the 500 employees
of the line are being retained
in service.
Harry T. Connolly, president of
the new line, said there is little
chance of the Washington route
being resumed at any later date.
The South Shore line, he said,
may be used for some freight ship
ments, but no passengers will be
carried.
Service between Washington
and Annapolis is being provided
by a bus line over the Defense
Highway.

German, Promoter
Seeking Braddock

AMSTERDAM, June ID U.P) -
Walter Rothenburg, German pro-
moter, announced today that he
had cabled heavyweight champion
James j. Braddock guarantee OF
100000 to fight eX-Champion Max
Schmeling at Amsterdam on August
II for the title.
Rothenburg, who had been plan
ming to come to the United States
to negotiate for a Make Baer-
Schmeling fight, shifted his offer
to Braddock as soon as the latter
captured Baer's title last night.
Rothenburg had offered Baer a
guarantee of 100000, but apparent
ly regards Braddock as less of a
drawing card, since he reduced his
offer to 100000.
Rothenburg said that if Braddock
declines his offer to defend the
title in August, he will give Baer
o chance to meet Schmeling then
instead, in bout of challengers to

Of fury, annihilated Camera, never

For a round or two 1t seemed he

the fight went on and on to its
dreary conclusion.
Braddock's victory saved boxing
at the garden. Braddock had sign
ed an agreement to defend his title,
if won, under the garden banner.
Baer, who signed a similar agree
ment before the Carnera fight, had
refused to tie himself up for a
future bout if he beat Braddock.
The garden is in line to stage o
September title bout with Braddock
probably meeting the winner of the
June 25 bout between Joe Louis,
Detroit Negro and Camera.

means he is little more than arms

smiling as he pulls q brown, silk

cent shoulders.
All about, and reaching clean
back to the rim of the big bowl
in the sharp, defined lines of waves
rolling in on a sandy beach, stand
10000 people. All are yelling for
James j. Braddock, for he has just
become the heavyweight champion
of the world.
He won the championship by out
pointing Baer in Is rounds. The
object of this piece is to give you
one mans observations of 45 min
utes of fighting. Before I start I'd
like to tell you that what write
is unbiased; 1 picked Baer to win
by a Knockout within five rounds.
but that did not color my vision.
Braddock's winning did not hurt
my reputation as picker of fights
for I had none.
l saw Braddock fight a fight
that was dull, uninspired, and
which wouldn't have earned him
the decision over half dozen me-
diocre ringmen working the busi-
ness today. His left hand - which
advance publicity had pictured as
a stabbing, jolting weapon-was
slow and sickly. His right hand
struck Baer flush on the jaw so
times without so much as making
the Californian blink his eyes.
In short, he won the worlds
championship with a fight which,
had it been presented without bal
lyhoo in a small club or armory,
would have caused him to be
thrown out of the ring.
Baer Surprise
But Baer was the surprising one.
Please believe me when I tell you
that he didn't throw 10 genuine
right-hand punches in the entire
Is rounds. I'll go even further Ck.an
that-he didn't throw 10 genuine
punches of any sort-left, right,
uppercut, hook Or jab. Remember
the vicious, free-sWinging Baer who
blasted Schmeling to bits with
whirlwind barrage of fists, and who
butchered the Giant Camera with
a merciless attack of leather?
AS he sat in his corner waiting
for the bell for the eleventh round,
Baer without trace of anxiety or
pain on his face, turned to me and
said he had broken both his hands
in the fifth round. 1 believed him.
Only man with crippled fists
could have fought 10 such worth
less rounds. But I have just learned
Gt'S now half an hour after the
fight) that doctors, after a care
full examination, say the hands are
not broken.
The only rounds in which Baer
resembled a champion were the
sixth, seventh and tenth. In the
sixth he shook Braddock with a 10
second furry to the body, but ceas-
ed firing just when it seemed he
should press his advantage. In the
seventh he buckled Braddock's
knees with one of his few clean
right shots. but again failed to stay
on the offensive. Shortly after the
start of the 10th he clipped Brad
dock with three lefts-bing! bangl
bing!-and Jimmy, stunned, sway
ed. 1t was the perfect time for a
paralyzing right. But Baer did not
throw one.
Perhaps their return meeting in
September (want to bet there isn't
oneO will not be so complex.

DEAN -SZABO
To NEE 7 IN
LOCAL RING

And David smote Goliath -"
Substitute Sanoor Szabo for David,
and what other name could be more
descriptive of Man Mountain"
Dean!
If the hopes and wishes of Szabo,
the fans and other wrestlers come
true, Szabo will "smite" Dean to-
night at the local arena. Personal
animosity has been existing between
them since Szabo beat Dean in a
handicap bout In San Diego about
two weeks ago and each has been
looking for an opportunity to get at
the others throat.
This is one of the few instances
where fellow wrestlers are taking
sides. Dean, because of his Flying"
broad jump, has incurred the dis
pleasure of most wrestlers who
think such a weapon when welded
by a 317-pound Goliath, is unfair.
The semi final between the popu-
lar Nick Lutte and the Italian,
Mike Romano, brings together two
great wrestlers and it would not
surprise if they put on the best
match of the evening.
In the preliminary, Pat Fraley,
returns to lock grips with Hans
Kampfer, top-notch German wrest-
Ter, and Europe's Graeco-R Roman
champion. Little need be said about
the fighting proclivities of the Irish,
especially when it is against a
stolid, bull-headed German.
Kimon Kudo, the 170-pound vic
tim of Man Mountain" Dean, who
is responsible for bringing down the
wrath of his fellow wrestlers about
the cauliflowered ears of the
Georgia hill-billy, will meet Harry
Ekizian, the Armenian lion, who
made his debut here last week,
pinning the well known DR.. Fred
Myers. This will be a combination
jiu jitsu and catch-as-catch-ca
bout, in three 20 minute rounds.

NEW YORK, June IA UP)-The
greatest furore Of modern boxing
threatened to break today around
James Jay Braddock's amazing vic
tory over Max Adelbert Baer in
their world heavyweight champion
ship fight last night.
Braddock, once definitely rele-
gated to fistic oblivion, came back
from the shadows to win a title de-
cision unanimously with the three
officials and stamped 100 per cent
okeh by boxing writers.
Yet circumstances, most puzzfing
and confusing, challenged his right
to boxing's richest prize.
This was because:
l. Baer, who pounded huge Primo
Carnera to a pulp, and who was
making his first defense of the
title, didn't fight a lick.
2. Although he blamed injured
hands, Max never once struck Brad
dock hard enough to break a finger
nail. Doctors who examined him
after the fight said his hands were
only bruised.
3. The state athletic commission
meets today and will, according to
Gen. John Phelan, chairman, con
slider" the fight.
4 Braddock was a 7 to shot.
But, to add to the puzzle, there was
unusually light wagering and no
evidence of a "killing' by gamblers.
To make the Whirl just a little
diZzier, Baer announced his retire.
ment from the ring. But no one
took it seriously.
The heart of the rumpus was the
fight itself.
Inane Battle
Veteran followers of heavyweightS
were unanimous in branding the
Braddock-Baer go the most inane
Is championship rounds in Marquis
of Queensberry history. Braddock's
vaunted left, although often aimed
at Baer and often scored, never
once bothered the defending cham
pion.
