two Summers ago, when Jack Demp-

referee the Tony Canzoneri-Frankie
Kick fight. That night at Mr.. Crit

the third man in the ring in the

piece OF refereeing he had seen out

backed up Max's statement.
To make it unanimous, Charley
Rose, who looks after Canzoneri's in
terests in many events and who knows
the fight game from A to z, said
the same thing.
And furthermore, Rose said
that time that on any occasion

Good Chance for Baer.


MAX is very much in the same
AVA set-up as Willie Lewis was years
ago when he toured Europe. Willie
was about done here, but in England
he knocked over one heavy after an
other. Not because he was so all
fred good, but because they were so
ll-fired-well, let's say awful.
Similarly, Baer apparently has seen
his best days, but in England the
opposition still isn't terrific. OF
course, Farr might find himself and
improve, but I doubt it.
Max is staying at swanky London
hotel, with famous night club at
tached, and unless he did his training
In the hot spot, he ought to be able to
hit healthy swipe with his right.
If he'll only go in there and start
throwing punches, I can't see how
he can fail to cop FAIR with one.

Earr No Great Puncher

TOMMY showed in the Foord fight
that he isn't a paralyzing punch
er; and If Baer finds Farr can't hurt
him-or even convinces himself of this
Max will fight more aggressively and
confidently.
The opposite angle was Max's I'M
doing against Joe Louis. Max went in
there filled with wild ideas of Joes
great punches and didn't fight. Baer
was too much concerned over what
Joe might do to him-no way for
good fighter to be.
I'm always a little leary of fouls"
when an American meets a Briton.
Their idea of foul" fighting differs
from ours. They frown on infighting
and prefer stand-up style to the toe
to-toe slugging that is so popular with
our fans.
A wallop to the stomach is likely to
look low to the ref. Especially if the
Englishman drops to the floor and
registers pain. I'm not casting re-
Elections on English fighters or refs.
