Bucky was delighted with the

Bids were in order today for a re-
building job on heavyweight title as
pirations of Patrick Edward Comis.
key as the fight world speculated
anew on the merit Of the games
most unpredictable figure - Max
Baer.
The 31-year-old Max. transferring
to explosive fists the energy often
reserved for clowning, knocked out
the youthful Paterson IN. j. fighter,
who was rated the most likely
challenger for Joe Louis crown, in
2 minutes and 80 seconds of the first
round of their scheduled 15-round
bout at Roosevelt Stadium last night.
When Referee Jack Dempsey
stopped the fight Comiskey was
draped over the top strands of the
ropes like limp rag. He had been
down for an eight-count a few sec.
onds earlier.
Short Right Starts Finish.
A wicked short right caught green
Pat solidly on the button to mark
the beginning of the end. Comiskey
had started out dancing lightly and
stabbing the grim Max with darting
lefts.
He survived one brief furry OF
looping rights and lefts, and it ap-
peared the Paterson boy might be
able to take 1t, but that furry was
only the skirmish line for the cagey
Baer's main attack.
Il sucked him in and found out
could nail him." Max said.
Nail him he did Pat sitting down
abruptly. He came up fighting. but
Max. always the killer when he
senses a weakness in an opponent,
was on him with tremendous bar
rage OF lefts and rights. There was
nothing for Dempsey to do but step
in and stop it.
Comiskey Undiscouraged.
Disappointed, but not discouraged,
Comlskey today was asking rather
weakly for a return match.
Il was a wild swinging fool" he
SdlQ DlIOcI1y.
Even Baer expressed the opinion
the fight was not true measure of
Comiskey's ability and the less than
10000 fans who sat shivering in the
autumn chill were inclined to agree.
The general idea was that Pat. not
yet 20. had been rushed too rapidly
into battle with a man as shrewd
and ring-wise as Baer. and that the
defeat should not set him back too
far.
AS for Madcap Make:
Who else is there for Louis to
fight but me?' he asked bravely.
Baer weighed 223Is and Comiskey
207l2. 1t was Comiskey's first knock
out defeat.
New Jersey Commissioner Abe
Greene said the fight drew 1873
fans who contributed to a gross gate
of s68.575 and an approximate net
of s54 1850. Baer will receive $4,000
and Comiskey $8,229.

BY JUDSON BAILEY,

Connie Mack, a well-known base
ball manager and uttle-known
prophet when he predicted last
spring the four time world cham
pion Yankees would crumble this
year, has his last chance to make
good on that prediction today.
With an. almost imaginary chance
to retain the American League flag,
the New Yorkers have won their
last eight games in a whirlwind
finish that even now is looming like
a sword of Damocles over the heads
Of the Cleveland Indians and the
Detroit Tigers.
Detroit can eliminate Cleveland
with one victory any time 1t can
get it-today. tomorrow or Sunday.
But unless the Yankees are whipped,
the Tigers will have to win twice
at Cleveland to evade tie with
the champions.
That's why old Comics forecast
is right back in his lap today. for
his Philadelphia Athletics will be
meeting the Yanks for the last time
this season, and the AS can make
certain that New York doesn't get
any farther by winning this one
game.
Yanks Ease Slab Nemesis.
Connie did his best in preparing
for the crisis. He saved Johnny
Babich for the pitching Job. Babich,
a prize pulled out Of last years
draft, has beaten New York in four
of five starts this season. But 1t
takes a lot to stop the Yankee
...ggernaut these days, and the AS
couldn't do 1t yesterday in spite OF
two good pitching performances.
The Yank5 swept a double-header,
5-4 and 20, to put the standings
in this shape for the payofi:
