.RESENTS THOUGHT
HE'S POOR CHAMP
Jim Points to His Record to
Refute Critics Who See
Him as Set-Up.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEW YORK, December g.
nj Champion James j. Braddock
does not mind being pushed
around In friendly way and
appreciates the fact that Muggsy
Taylor and Joe Levy are sincere in
their attempts to put him on in q no.
decision contest with Joe Louis. But
the fact that considerable talk Is going
the rounds that the Detroit Negro is
beating Max Schmeling to the title
tends to create the impression that
he is poor champion at best and that
the flrst to get crack at him will take
over the world championship.
Braddock makes no bones about the
fact that he is in the game for the
most money he can make out Of 1t. It
matters not to him whether 1t be Louis
or Schmeling in the opposite corner
next February or June. Just as long
as the promoters are willing to lay
$500, 900 on the line Is sufficient for his
purposes. There will be no worry on
his score No sympathy stuff for jim.
Cold cash talks and he is willing to
plant his broad knuckles on the sepia

one Of the German.

Three postponements did me no good,

under such handicap and beat Lasky
as did? And there was q murderous
puncher by the name Of Max Baer.
Some one told me they had an am
bulance ready to cart me from the
bowl to the nearest hospital. You all
remember what happened. Baer was
the one ready for emergency treatment
and not yours truly.
why all this sympathy talk and
scramble to get first crack at me? Do

That goes for Louis. whom I still think

as for Schmeling-say. wasn't he
