weight title, Max put the blast on all boxers who were playboys and pointed the finger of Scorn at Gal ento as horrible example.
 "He drinks beer" Max gasped to the reporters. He keeps late hours, he refuses to train, and am told that he even smokes. How, how can such as Galento be placed above me as challenger for the greatest title in the World?"
 It is said that after this outburst Baer led the reporters to his lodgings and showed them the Sparton sim plicity of his life A spiked couch served for bed. His only reading matter was copy of Thoreau'S Walden. For food he relied upon what wild game he could shoot from his window that overlooked Little Rocks main thoroughfare. He per- formed for them simple Indian dance and spoke bitterly of jitter- bugs and the Shag.
 He inferred that he planned to leave Little Rock by covered wagon and beat his way across the plains to his squaw and papoose.
 "The simple, hard life," he said, Ifs the life for me-"
 I wish this interview from Little Rock had been accompanied by a photograph, because 1t couldn't have been granted by the same Max Baer I used to know. The Max Baer who used to fight around New York never was a victim of right living. He never write any prefaces to Boy Scout manuals, and the only merit badges he ever earned were for put ting orchestra leaders to bed. He could Susy-Q it until the saxophone players were tired right down to the third generation, and all the train ing he wanted was brisk trot be- hind the milk wagons as dawn and hangover came up like thunder over Central Park.
 How this Max Baer used to know could ever object to Tony Galentos beer drinking and cigar smoking is beyond me. Galento may be fairly good stroller down the primrose path, but he never will be able to match Maxie's speed down that highway. Baer didn't stroll down the primrose path-he used starting blocks for quick getaway and ran the whole distance.
 I agree with Baer that he should rate above Galento' as challenger, bu the certainly is of on the wrong tack in his search for reason. Let him come out and say he is a bet ter fighter, a harder puncher. and has better record than Galento. But, in the name of Carrie Nation, let him cease to criticize any man because he indulges in demon nico- tine and demon bere. Because some of us remember when demons were dime a dozen with Max.

INDIANS CHARGE INTO ONE GAME
 LEAD IN LOOP
Red Sox Stop Yanks {; Giants Won 10 of II
 Games; Myers Hero
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

~A 0AOA~06 AAA4SAA01A United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 9.-(UP).-The Cleveland Indians have just begun to fight. If the New York Yankees ever had an idea that the Indians were going to roll over and play dead they had another think com- ing today.
 After winning nine straight the Tanks were ill position yesterday to take command of the American League lead. Two things prevented 1.-the Red Sox gave the Tanks their first defeat since June 24 and the Indians staged cne rally after another to finally conquer the St.. Louis Browns. Result-the Indians held the American League lead again today by one game. The Indians had to show plenty of courage to overcome the Browns. They trailed 60 going into the fifth. They put on four-run rally in that frame, tied 1t up in the sixth and went ahead in the seventh on Jeff Heath's triple. Then the Brown tied 1t up again and Cleveland had to go ten innings before Sammy Hale's fourth hit proved the deciding fac- tor.
 The Tanks put on a succession of late inning rallies but failed by one run to tie the count in the ninth as the Red Sox won, 9-8. Joe Cronin and Bobby Doerr hit homers for the Red Sox. After winning four straight Cpud Chandler finally was beaten, being yanked in the third. Detroit broke even with Chicago, winning the first game, 7-5. and los- ing the second, 5-3, in II innings. Dixie Walker, Hank Greenberg and Rudy York hit homers in the opener. The White Sox staged a three-run rally in the eleventh off Tommy Bridges to win the nightcap. Harry Kelley pitched Washington into & fourth place tie with De- troit by beating his former team mates, the Philadelphia Athletics, 1l-0. He allowed cnly seven hits. Cecil Travis, Senators shortstop, led Washington's 13-hit attack with three singles and double.
 The New York Giants held their 3 1-2 game lead in the National League by winning their 10th game in the last II played. They took the Boston Bees, AZ. Harry Gumbert held the Bees to four hits to out pitch Jim Turner. Lou Chiozza and Alex Kampouris hit homers for the Giants.
 Pittsburgh kept pace with the Giants by winning from the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2. Bob Klinger kept 10 hits scattered to score his fourth win over the Cards. Billy Myers tenth inning home run enabled the Cincinnati Reds to defeat the Chicago Cubs, 7-5, and snap six-game losing streak. The Cubs had come from behind to tie the score with flve-run rally in the ninth. Wally Berger hit two homers and Ival Goodman hit one for the Reds.
 Brooklyn slugged out a 13-2 win over the Phillies with a 15-hit at tack on four pitchers Vita Tamulis kept the Phils' ten hits scattered to win his third game as a Dodger. YESTERDAYS HERO Billy Myers, Cincinnati shortstop, who returned to the lineup, after being out with an injured leg, and hit a homer to break the Reds six-game losing streak.

New York, July 9-(UP)-He wears clothes very well. Few men look bet ter than he in an English drape and none better than he in an American prizefght un-drape.
 Max Baer, I mean, who has the type of build that goes well with al most anything. But there is one outfit he cannot wear, one get-up that makes him as outlandish as a scarecrow. This is the robe of the reformer, the regalia of the re- claimed the Seersucker of the sal vaged, and the cutaway of the cured.
 But this has not kept him from donning such holy haberdashery as all of us who read his recent dis patch from Little Rock, Arkansas, know. Informed that Tony Galento had been placed above him in the list of challengers for the heavy

Brooklyns And Thomas
 Club To Meet Again;
 Hills VS. OverlOOkS

Fresh from an even Stephen game played to three run tie last night and stopped because of darkness, the Brooklyns and North End Thomas club meet again tomorrow afternoon It Hamilton Park in one of three City Amateur league con- tests. The game set for 1:30 p. m. on the No. 1 diamond will be matched by another meeting of the Washington Hills and Overlooks, scheduled for No. field at the same hour, while the feature game will show the leading Tribunes and halt ing Hearts in 3:30 game to be um- pired by Bill Stanton and Leno Costaldo.
 In view of their 3-3 tie last night when they attempted to play of a postponed game, the Thomas club and Brooklyn test should be the most interesting though the Hearts may get themselves together in time to give the Tribunes a fight for the game, which is won by the Tribes will just about allow the lower Baldwin street lads to coast in to the pernant with only one or two more tough" games coming up for decision.
 Loans Good
 Overlooks and Washington Hills will also be worth looking at, for their last scramble, won by the Hills wound up in protest by the Over looks charging use of an ineligible player out of uniform, a squawk which has not as yet been settled
 In the feature game Involving Tribes and Hearts, the Mulesky may start against the Hearts with Jab- lonowski in reserve while the Hearts lineup to say nothing Of the pitch CTS is uncertain to a marked degree.
