BAER PREDICTS
HE'LL WIN BACK
HEAVY CROWN
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. II 1N.SD.
Still a reformed. strangely sub
dued fellow who continues to
shun the spots, Max Baer was
around letting people feel his
muscles today and predicting,
seemingly with conviction, that
the heavyweight division will
have a new champion within six
months, or just as soon as he can
get around to putting the slug
on Joe Louis.
That he will get the chance
was foregone conclusion as he
prepared to sign articles with
Promoter Mike Jacobs for q
Warmup with Lou Nova in May.

stick Tony Galento in there, too.

of guys before 1 meet Louis"

Escobar Again Victor
Before Home Fans
In Puerto Rico
Retains Crown, Gets Even
With Morgan for Loss
Of Non-TitIe Bout
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April s.
Any way you look at it, the old home
town is a good place for Sixto Esco-
bar to fight.
The little Puerto Rican made an
other successful defense of his world
bantamweight championship here
last night when he decisively defeat
ed K. o. Morgan, his conqueror in
a previous non-title bout, in Is
round championship fight.
1t was the fourth time Escobar had
fought before the home folks since
he first captured the title and it was
his fourth victory here.
Sellout Crowd Attends.
He lost the crown once to Harry
Jeffra of Baltimore, but regained
it here about a year ago. Since then
he's lost several non-title scraps, in
cluding the one with Morgan. but he
came through in fine style when the
chips were down.
The result was highly satisfactory
to a sellout crowd of about 10000,
which paid $4,000 to see the fight
The fans shouted foul" couple OF
times when Morgan's blows landed
just below the belt line, but Referee
Pablo Albanese also had to warn
Escobar for low blows.
The decision of Referee Albanese
and Judges Nat Fleischer and Capt.
w. S. Hargan was unanimous. None
gave more than four rounds to Nor
gan. while crediting Escobar with
seven to nine.
Action Slow Coming.
There was comparatively little ac-
ton until the customers began shout
ing for it in the fifth, but Escobars
blows apparently were doing some
damage. The champion really began
to cut loose after Morgan stung him
a couple of times in the sixth and
within a few rounds he had the
Detroiter covering up and backing
away.
DULL VI MOISdu eyes were CuC III
the eighth and ninth rounds and the
wounds gave Escobar a good target
during the remaining heats. Morgan
rallied gamely in the 18th and again
in the 14th when he caught Sixto
on the ropes and showered him with
punches, but by that time his blows
lacked sting and Escobar came
through without difficulty.
Escobar weighed 118 pounds, Nor
gan, 117%.
