Than He Did Max
By CLAYTON HEPLER

Joe Louis. Detroit heavyweight
champion of the world. is more
worried about Buddy Baer. whom
he meets next Friday at Griffith
Stadium, Washington. l.. C.. than
he was before meeting brother
Make Baer, by his own admission.
Whether that admission was
made in sincerity or strictly as a
buildup is a matter of opinion.
But it's a matter of fact that
young Buddy packs a terrific
wallop.
The young giant stands 6 feet
5 inches tall and weighs 24O
pounds. about the same heft as
ample Abe Simon. the same who
stayed Il rounds with the Brown
Bomber here last March. But he's
more in proportion than Is the
Simon.
