By ARTHUR DONOVAN Referee of the LOuls-Baer Fight


 Written for the United Press)
 Washington, May 24-(UP)-Joe Louis hit Buddy Baer ct the bell and not afterwards.
 l want to get that straight right from the start. There was no Ques- ton about 1t In my mind.
 But 1t was the toughest situation I have faced in my 16 years as O referee.
 Here's what happened after Louis hit Baer at the bell:
 Hoffman (Ancil Hoffman, 'Baer's manager) rushed up to me and wanted me to disQualify Louis, claiming the blow was struck after the bell. I told him to go back to his corner and that his fighter would have to come out for the next round, waited until 10 seconds before the start of the seventh round and told him (Hoffman) and Baer's handlers to leave the ring. They didn't answer me.
 Just as the bell rang for the sev- enth round, Louis left his corner. I held him back and still insisted that Baer's handlers leave the ring. They still refused 50 I immediately disqualified Baer because his hand lers refused to leave the ring.
 made my decision and am standing by 1t.
 Now suppose, as some thought, that the blow was on It's way before the bell sounded, but that 1t did not strike until after the bell. That still would be Q legal blow.
 Discretion
 Suppose also-as some clairn,l but with whom I absolutely do not agree
