Challenger Goes Eosy,
While Champion Socks,
Makes Spormote Quit

Challenger Buddy Baer took his
usual Monday off from his drills in
preparation for Fridays encounter
with Joe Louis and figured out some
more reasons he has for thinking
he'll defeat the champion.

out In three rounds, was able to go
13 rounds with Louis. I'm not only
confident I can go the limit. but I'm
just as certain I will knock out

Buddy Not So Impressive.
Buddy had hard workout yester-
day, but he failed to convince the
200 curious spectators on hand at
Olney that he was working himself
into any particular frenzy over the
coming fight He chased sparring
partners around for seven rounds
without doing any serious punching
while Louis on the other hand was
so rough with his boys in the drill
at Riverside Stadium that one of
them quit. or was fired, last night.
]. D. Turner, 215-pound protege
of Lou Jenkins, left Riverside with
his baggage and two more Sparring
partners were expected to arrive
from New York today. The champion
worked yesterday before a packed
house of 5000, while nearly half as
many again were turned away.
So far more than 1900 have paid
so cents head to watch him train,
which is a pretty good gate IN itself.
and indications are that the $150,000
house expected Friday at Griffith
Stadium may materialize.
Louis Boxes Four Rounds.
The champion engaged in four
rounds of boxing yesterday, two
with George Nicholson and one each
with Turner and Joe Carilli. Carilli
specialized on shooting lefts at the
champ, but Louis had no trouble
breaking through and rocking him
frequently. In his one round against
Turner, Louis concentrated on bat
tering his middle and ended j. DIS
