Max Baer's brays are bonny.
He talks a fight that Dempsey,
Sullivan, FitzsimmonS and Corbett
combined couldn't have fought.
He has vocally knocked out more
men than there are in China, and
in various hotel rooms and cabaretS
ne has displayed a courage that
would have Richard the Lion Heart
ed backing away with many sim
pering apology
To hear him tell it, which I did
today when Max arrived to start
working on some cowboy movie
stuff. he is the deadliest thing since
the invention of gunpowder. In the
presence of a slightly bored COW
pony, which the movie studio had
provided for Photographic purposes,
Baer held up his right fist and,
shaking it much more menacingly
than he did the last time he fought,
said:
This is the fist that will knock
out Joe Louis or anyone else who
thinks he is a better man than
Baer. This is the fist that will
bring back TO me the worlds heavy
weight boxing championship"
At this point the pony said
neigh! neigh!," but Baer, who
never has had much horse sense
paid no attention and launched into
another conversational cul de sac
involving straight rights, small
babies, home and fireside, upper
cuts, and the little woman.
This became so involved that

Tony Galento, well, he thinks as
little of Tony as Tony thinks of

He hasn't slipped at any spirit

pugilistic sawdust trail months ago,
and as for night clubs-well, he
lust can't understand how anyone
in his right mind can stand the
din and clatter of such places. He
can barely remember when he did
his last rhumba in the Stork club.

Joe Louis 70 Defend Title Tonight
Bench w farming
By Burdette Kline
Post Press Sports Editor

This is the time of year that
Calexico high school athletes US
ually start practicing baseball in
order that they might repeat as
champions of the Imperial Valley
high school baseball league.
But. strangely enough, that Is
not the case this season. Calexico
high school has not started baseball
practice and chances are they will
not start until March.
In the first place CaleXico high
school basketball team is in the
thick of the league championship
race. The Bulldogs have won three
straight games and are co-favorites
with El Centro to win the cham
pionship.
Then there is the new gymna-
sium. Athletes are practicing bas
ketball from morning until night
and will probably practice longer
when the gymnasium is completed
next week.
The third reason CaleXico is not
practicing baseball is because the
Bulldogs have spread-eagled the
field so completely in the last dozen
years that there is no longer COM
petition in the loop.
Calexico will have seven letter
men for baseball, including three
pitchers. AS a result the Bulldogs
probably won't lose game and the
closest any valley opponent will
come to beating Calexico will be
three runs to 30.
Calexico's complete domination
of baseball threatens to discontinue
the sport in the valley league be-
bause lack of interesting games
will necessarily decrease interest
of players in the game.
In Brawley and El Centro there
is sufficient material to groom
baseball team that would give Cal
exico a tough battle each season.
but thus far coaches of the two
schools have not shown enough in
terest in the sport to spend time
necessary TO turn out a winning ball
club.
A few sport shots:
If. as Detroit scouts report, the
Tigers Big Three in the pitching
department is Freddy Hutchinson,
Tommy Bridges and Schoolboy
Rowe, things look pretty bad for
Manager Del Baker.
Hutchinson still is a green school
boy. Bridges was hampered by ell
bow trouble last season, and Rowe's
status is one big question despite
his fine performances down in the
hot sun of the Texas League last
year F..
The ST. Louis Browns finished
