Max Defies Legend

Wouldn't it be an odd twist of
fortune should Max be the one
to rend this legend apart!
Jim Corbett once essayed to
recaptl,re his lost laurels from
Jim JeffrieS in a futile comeback
on August IA, 1908. Jack Demp-
sey also fell shy in 1927 in that
famous long count in which he
had Gene Tunney on the floor,
but failed to move to a neutral
corner.
AS the order Of business is now
written, Baer will be the third
to defy the legend that has stood
down the corridors of time,
insofar as the heavyweight divi-
sion is concerned.
He's made his start.
Can he finish the route laid
out by HIMSELF

Wes FerreL Cards
Best Golf Score

ORLANDO, Fla, March 16.-1n
what probably was his last round
Of the golf links until next fall,
Wesley Ferrell sailed forth yester-
day with Buddy Myer. With four
three putt green's, Yves shot a II.
He played against the best ball
Of a foursome comprised Of AL
Simmons, Rick Ferrell, Jimmy De-
Shong and Joe Kuhel, and won
the cady fees. Rick Ferrell carded
a 70, Simmons shot a nifty 80,
featured by one heave Of the
brasSie which outsped the ball by
is yards, Kuhel had an IS and
DeShong had an "a.
DeShong holed a 15-foot putt,
and the cheering was heard IN
Tampa Now that the exhibition
games are on in earnest, the boys
will house their clubs. The game
is taboo during the championship
season, save on off days.

.FBI, SENATE TIE
in TIMES CAGE.
TITLE SERIES.
BY PAUL BEACH

FBI nullified the onepoint VIC
tory acquired by Senate Beer in
the first clash of the three-game
playoff series fer the champion
ship of the Washington Times
Community Center Basketball
League, when it came through
with a $50 victory last night
at Tech gym.
With the series deadlocked, the
ultimate winner will be definitely
decided next Saturday at 8 p. m.
The Investigators pulled away
to a commanding lead in the first
period, leading 17-8, but after
they had increased it to 22-8
early in the second stanza, the
Beermen came to life and started
a scoring spree that narrowed the
margin to four points before the
G-men tailed again.
FORGE INTO LEAD
Scheele, Noon and Lomax again
contributed markers for Senate
after FBI had forged ahead to
a six point lead, and the tilt was
tied at 30-all with two minutes
and 30 seconds to go.
Jim Thompson, who was high
for the game and the victors with
IA points, broke the deadlock
with one minute and 10 seconds
left and Bethel put the game on
ice with a charity toss.
Senate's inability to hit the loop
in the early portion Of the battle,
primarily due to the tight defense
thrown UP by the Sleuths, was
the major factor in its defeat.
HIGH SCORERS
Pete Noon and Scheele, with
eight points each, were the lead
ing scorers for the losers.
Several high school cagers
played a prominent part in the
preliminary tilt between Roosevelt
Community Center Boys Club and
Wilson Community Center Boys
Club, in which the former won,
1922.
George West, Doyle Royal and
George ZuraS, Roosevelt, were
stellar contributors for the vic
tors, while Macdonald, Wilson,
bolStered the losers attack.

industry, certainly Baer, equally
in oblivion insofar as serious
consideration for a return to the
heights was concerned, has re-
claimed himself in a manner
which sounds more like fiction
than fact.
Certainly, too, the unpredict-
able man from Livermore has
had the magic wand passed over
his head that transforms all
things to gold.
Gazing toward the future,
Baer can't miss rehabilitating
his exchequer far beyond his
fondest dreams. This is true
whether he fights just once
more, or several times.
His cut for the September
fight with the winner of the
Louis-Schmeling go, will be a
tidy sum in itself. We don't
need to speculate beyond that
point.

TOURNEY OPENS.

District Amateur Athletic Union

Arena tonight.
Evidently there is no depression

U. officials discovered they had
so many entries that two prelim-
mary eliminations instead of one
will be necessary. Thus, the sec
ond preliminary round will take
place Saturday night with the
semi-finals scheduled for March
% and the finals on the 26. ALI
bouts will be held at the Arena.
26 BOUTS
There will be so many gloves fly
ing around the Arena tonight that
the no-smoking edict might well
be resinded. These kids will make
a tornado look like spring zephyr
when they start puncturing the air
with some of their haymakers. A
total of 26 bouts are on tap to-
night. The first starts at 8 p. m.
and the final contest of the eve
ming probably will be late enough
to catch the milkman.
Tonight's bouts include only five
classes-from the 118's to the
zoos. The 126-pound class seems
to have a monopoly of "standout"
bouts. Some Of the boys entered
in this division are Gilbert Mayo,
who has been fighting for nothing
long enough to know better;
George Pickerel, Golden Gloves
star, and Jim KouStenus, hard
punching Greek.

That Don1esticity

In the first place, all the
world loves a winner. In the
second place, Baer's family life,
which has supplanted his for
mer fondness for the gay spots,
has made its appeal to the aver
age American. Before his Farr
fight, Baer said he was going
to win for the sake Of his son
back home.
Devoted domesticity was a
phase of Jim Braddock's career
as champion that had thousands
OF his side for any fistic argu-
ment. 1t is a human trait to
like to think of our idols going
back to the wife and kiddies-
victorious.
And 1 like to think of Jack
Dempsey's recent remarks in
Washington to the effect Max
Baer's fights are controlled
largely by his mental attitude
toward them.
Well, he has every reason in
the world, now that he is on the
up grade once more, to whet his
appetite for the September task,
for he is facing an opportunity
to diSprove the Oldest of ring
adages which says the cham
pionship never revertS to a for
mer holder thereof.
The Washington times., 1938-03-16
Fighter Reborn

And If this isn't looking too
far ahead, let it be said the new
Baer would be equally formida-
BILE against either Louis or
Schmeling, for when a fighter
has been reborn, as seems to be
the case with Baer. he'd likely
outdo himself with the big chips
on the line.
In the case Of Louis, Make
would be out to cancel an
ignominous defeat, q fourth
round knockout: whereas
against Schmeling, Baer would
be in there attempting to prove
that his ten-round victory over
the German was not by nature
q fluke.
Since last week, and in view
Of the seriousness in which he
took his task, Baer has estab-
Iished tremendous popularity.
There are probably two causes
for this.
The Washington times., 1938-03-16
Didn't Fool Himself

It is an odd destiny which has
resurrected Max Baer to become
the key man in the top bracket
Of Fistiana. He gives the pat
tern color that Tommy Farr
hardly could have lent, for Farr
Just simply lacks luster.
In a trice, and fooling every
one except himself, Baer comes
to this commanding position,
what with Farr eliminating him
self by dropping three straight
fights in this country and
Jimmy Braddock easing quite
out of the picture of his own
accord.
Six months ago. should any
one have mentioned the name Of
Baer as a possible contender
for the heavyweight throne,
there would have been outlaws
from every side.
Such are the tickle fortunes
Of Fistiana, and aside from
Braddock's comeback seldom
before have they played such a
prank as the one which precipi-
tates Baer, the forgotten man,
into a challenging figure.

the meat OF the infected animals,
through the bite of infected ticks,
or in crushing the ticks. The in
lection can be absorbed into the
system through an open cut, or
even the merest scratch in the
skin. Severe cases have occurred
through rubbing the infectious
material into the eyes. while pre-
pairing the meat for the table.
The disease has even been con-
tracted in handling the fur of in
fected animals.
fortunately not all wild rab-
bits are infected and sportsmen
are warned to be on their guard
against the animals that move
slowly or that seem to be sick,
and to kill only those that are
lively and alert and that move
quickly.
IF you handle the game or pre-
pare the meat for the market or
the table use the following pre-
cautions:
use rubber gloves. Don't han
die the game with bare hands.
If it is impossible to use rubber
gloves, wash the hands thoroughly
with soap and water after handl-
ing a rabbit.
Don't allow the meat or fur to
come in contact with any scratch
or open cut in your skin. Keep
your hands away from your face
and your eyes.
Burn all papers or wrappings
that have been in contact with
the game.
BE careful in handling rabbit
fur, Don't give the fuzzy tails or
the left hind foot to the children
to play with.
IF you buy your rabbit meat
for the table, have the rabbits
skinned for you.
Cook the meat thoroughly.

SANITARY MEAT OPENS MARKET, SITKA SATURDAY
Motorship Northland Car rying Last Supplies
 and Equipment

Bound for Sitka today aboard the motorship Northland is cargo of meats, dairy products and meat market equipment, which arrives in the coastal Island City just in time for the slated opening in that city Saturday of the Sanitary Meat Company's newest market. the most modern and one of the largest meat markets in Alaska. @
 Ed Shaffer, operator of the Sani- tary Meat Company market in Ju- neau, is the proprietor of the new Sitka establishment, which, Mi Shaffer stated, has only been made possible by the splendid success en- joyed by his Juneau market in the slightly less than two years since he took over it's operation.
 MT. Shaffer, who before entering business for himself was for long time manager of the Juneau mar ket of the Piggly- -Wiggly Company of Alaska, is now in Sitka to over  see the opening of his new mar ket and is being joined there in time for the opening by Mrs. Shaf- fer who left Juneau this morning aboard the motorship Northland fol an expected two weeks stay in the former Capital City.
 Before leaving Juneau recently fol Sitka, MT. Shaffer declared that he intended to follow in that city the same business policy that has brought success to his Juneau mar ket; selling only highest quality meats at reasonable prices and of. fering the most possible service t his patrons. From his Sitka marke he will conduct both wholesale an retail trading, selling to individua buyers and to canneries, fishing craft and to mines.
