Fight fever gripped New York as
it hasn't since the Dempsey-Flrpo

It was not only a spending

the odds even higher.
Ticket spectators were doing q
heavy business. Choice ringside

face value Seats at any price
were bringing a premium.
True to the tradition Of the bic
fights. rumors spread like fire.
Most of the startling reports
were circulated about Baer. Even
before he had boarded train
from his upstate training camp, II
was reported that he had met with
foul play.
Baer Ready
Baer not only arrived in New
York safely last night, but he
called up the Unfed Press to say.

life. I'm stalking everything on

that I'm not going to throw them

been such wholesale betting on a
fight. Reliable commissioners say
that millions of dollars will be rid

 Psychatrists in court and prison clinics see nothing in this; many cranks, perverts and psychopaths classified and then set free because there is no legal way to hold them.
