 (The Morgan interests also have an interest in Electric Bond and Share and the United Gas Im- provement company is leading the committee of public utility execu- tives in the fight against the bill.)

Winnie the Pooh Enters

The council was distinctly an- noyed by White House failure to publicize its adverse report on the administrations utility holding company measure--the Wheeler Rayburn bill.
 This report was the work of Chairman Winthrop W. Aldrich of the Chase National bank, known in Wall street as Winnie the Pooh" or, sometimes, just Winnie for short.
 Weeks previously, MT Aldrich had approached Chairman Sam Rayburn of the house committee framing the bill and interstate commerce Commissioner Walter Splafn, expert on holding com panies.
 He sought to serve as 'medi- tary" between the bills supporters and the power trust" holding companies, proposing substitute legislation which they thought would take the teeth from the bill.

GIVE F|RST-ROUND
CHANCE TO BAER
Braddock Leans to Negro,
but Is Undecided Till He
Visits Max's Camp.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PoMPToN LAKES, N. j., September
19.-Here's tip for Max Baer on
how he can whip Joe Louis at the
Yankee Stdium Tuesday night, and
it comes from no other than John
Roxborough, manager Of the Detroit
bomber.
The only chance Baer has to beat
Joe is to slip over low left-handed
punch in the first round, paralyze
Louis and then nail him with a right, :"
declared Roxborough.
Understand, I am not saying that
Max will do that" added Joe's man
ager, "out If he losses one low blow
it will be just too bad. We will start
throwing them. too. We may lose the
round, but / am sure we can afford
to lose more than Baer."
Champ Sees Tough Fight.
JAMES ]. BRADDOCK, who lifted
the heavyweight crown from Baer
in June, agrees with Roxborough in
that Max will be in for the fight of
his life next week. And he didn't over
look his battle with the former cham
pion.
Il won't say for certain until see
Baer work at Spectator Friday, but
right now I'm kinda inclined to lean
toward Louis" said Braddock after
watching the 2l-year-old Detroit
fighter work out. Max can hit as
hard or harder than this boy, but he's
got to watch out. Louis hits faster
and oftener."
Except for another boxing session
Saturday. Louis is all through with
hard work. He planned to do only
light work today, Friday and Sunday.

Leonard Trell, the only experienced

other.
An injury has kept Trell from any

- REGULATOR, N. Y, September
19.-Max Baer Is little "edgy'
today, little argumentative.
~ If you take those signs as
indications of perfect physical condi-
ton, which fight handlers do, then the
erratic Californian is ready to duel Joe
Louis in the Yankee Stadium Tuesday
night.
For instance, a reporter from New
York newspaper whose sports editor
favors the other fellow got a little
close to the big curly head. Baer
casually dropped a short right-hand
punch on the writer's shoulder.
Take that back to your editor" he
growled.
Now the reporter can't write on a
typewriter. He has to dictate his
stories.

pAER is getting mean in his train
ing ring. Down SO fine at 2l1
pounds that some of the visiting train
ers and experts crowding his camp
think he is overriding it, Max is even
ing up for past indignities.
He smashed George Turner of Tulsa
around yesterday, after the 19-year-
old 190-pounder had made punching
bag of him for couple of days. He
knocked down Abe Feldman, a real
heavyweight, for the first time In
Feldman'S busy career.

Brothers May Battle.
MAX and his brother Buddy. an
other promising heavyweight,
are getting farther and farther apart.
There may be fine warm-up battle
there before Max gets into the ring
with the Negro sensation.
Even the experts, trained down
fine. are getting edgy. One Of the
visiting experts, Ed Edgar of Detroit,
got so worked up when he drew Baer
to win by knockout in one round in
the traditional dollar camp pool that
he sold his share for dime.
Baer will cut down sharply on his
boxing from now on, though he plans
to put on the gloves every day through
Sunday. He will scale about 2O8 next
Tuesday, and there Is little chance
that he will be allowed to fly down
to New York with ticket sales indi-
eating sell-out and the first million
dollar gate since Jack Dempsey

Doyle?
1T comes from all over, Texas, Bos-

Floyd Russell, the big San
Francisco lawyer, Is giving me
$4,000 of Baer commissions to
place out here.
II can't tell you the price on that
right now, because it might juggle the
market, but it's cinch wen get it
covered"
It's strange to think that the folks
who put a few bucks on Jimmy Brad
dock last June at or to /, with
the vague hope that their candidate
might land lucky punch, are doing
the same now for Max Adelbert Baer.
He's the short-end, lucky punch bet
this time, not the peerless killer of the
pre- Braddock era. A bet like that
appeals TO the small but willing in
weston. If Louis happens to be over
rated, it's nice investment.
Enough of those wee wagers
will, of course. Offset what Mr..
Doyle. in his graphic way,
describes as the chunk money.
A bad workout on Louis part, to
the accompaniment Of a bray Of
skepticism from the press, can bring
Make up to even money. But the
chances are against such a develop
ment. 1t seems likely that to 5
is the sticking point.
Its even possible" interpolates Mr.
Doyle, that the price will swing back
to or 9 to on Louis by ringtime
The smart money is on Louis, and
the smart money usually picks up
speed at the last moment. But right
now the volume of Baer dough is
amazing. repeat, this is the biggest

yAROSz IS PICK
TO RETAIN TITLE
Risko's Only Chance With
Middle Champ Is Held
to Be a Knockout.

ITTsBURGH. Pa, September
- 19.-Teddy Yarosz, 25-year-
old fiddle-player from Mo-
naca, Pa, staked his middle
weight boxing crown on the outcome
of a 15-round bout tonight with
Eddie (Babe) Risko, ex-gob from
Syracuse, N. Y.
Yarosz, who won his title last Sep
TENDER II from Vince Dundee of
Newark, in listless hereunder in
Pittsburgh, was an 8-to-5 favorite in
Pittsburgh to retain it. Experts fig
ured Risko will need a knockout to
win.
The two poles met last New Year
day in a non-title ARRAY at Scranton,
and Risko won with a technical
knockout in the seventh round.
Tonight's bout is their first meet
ing since. and also Yarosz' first de-
tense Of the title.
Yarosz's Knee Healed.
VAROSZ, who whites away idle mo-
ments with a violin, injured his
knee in the first Risko battle. Since
then. he participated in only two
fights, meeting a fourth-rater each
time. He won both.
Yarosz' handlers say his knee is
back in original condition. He and
Risko expected heft in the vicinity
of 100 pounds each.

True, the Baer market became a
bear market this weak, following an

ing at Spectator, N. Y, on the part
of Max the hummer But the trend
still is toward our hero. For this
