The narcotics detail made sud-

Madden revealed that 46 gallons

of such large amounts.

work on Buddy Baer; He maneuver-
ed the big boy around the ring, hit
sllim with leftS and rights and was
punching hard and accurately. Baer
took a lot of punches before crum-
bling, and the question in my rSnd
is whether Conn can take punches.
l don't say he can't, but I do say
never saw him do it. Not the
kind of punches that Louis throws.
The hardest single punch ever saw
Conn catch was thrown by Lee Sa-
vold and it broke Billy's nose.
Conn isn't afraid of anything
that walks and Louis is going to
have to give him terrible beating
before the kid goes out. And while
that is happening it may be quite
a braWl-considerably better than
anything that's been seen around

his odds on the major league base

As soon as they are made public
a stream of currency and checks

being official as anything you can
find, and some Of the money he
gets is sight TO see. Some of it
comes out from under mattresses
in Alabama, some of it is crisp,
shiny stuff just out of the bank,
and occasionally a large, old-size
bill shows up.
The professor still is studying the
baseball situation and IS not quite
ready to come up with his opening
line, but he had some interesting
observations TO make on how he
goes about picking fayorites anG

WASHINGTON. April UP)-
Tony Galento waddled over the hill
to the fistic poorhouse today
The last shove came from the
hammering fists of Buddy Baer
who smashed Tonys flabby features
into a crimson smudge last night
and forced the roly-pOly barkeer
to call it quits after six rounds.
Referee Eddie La Fond proclaimed
Buddy the winner on q seventh
round technical knockout when Ga
lento refused to answer the bell on
grounds he broke his left hand in
closing seconds Of the previous heat
Tony claimed the break was a
recurrence of one he suffered in
his previous Inflated fight last
summer with the elder member OF
the Baer boxing firm-MaX. District
of Columbia Boxing Commission
Physician Marvin Mclean announc-
ed after a preliminary examination
that he did not believe Galento S
hand was fractured
Tony goes to a hospital today
for an X-ray examination. Boxing
commission members declined to
say whether Galento would face
suspension if the X-rays show no
fracture, but they held up the fight
purse pending the examination.
In any case, Tony had the better
part of six rounds to prove himself
with two sound hands before he
decided to sit out the remainder
of the scheduled 10 rounder. Ring
siders and most of the 5000 custo-
mers agreed by voice vote the only
thing Galento proved was that he's
all washed up as a big-time fighter.
Galento screamed after the fight
that he's as good as ever and would
take on Buddy again on a winner
take all basis. But Buddy ignored
him and set his sights on a mid
