MAX BAER STOPS
PAUL SWIDERSKI
Syracuse Pole Unable to
Match Wallops With;
California Battler,
By. Paul Zimmerman
. (Associated Press Sports Writer)
LOS ANGELES, CaW Apr. 27 (P)
Max Baer stopped blonde Paul Swi
derskl here last night In the sev
enth round to the ' disappointment
of most of the 700O persons who
wended . their way to the Olympic
auditorium in hopes of seeing the
Llvermore, Cal.. playboy's tall form
sent prostrate to the canvas.
It was a much different picture,
painted in the claret of the Syra-
cuse, N. Y., Pole, for Swiderskl was
lashed with. Baer's long, stinging
blows for three - nine-counts before
Referee Abo Roth stepped in and
halted the proceedings with the sev
enth round 1 minute 20 seconds old.
Swiderskl started out well pnough,
keeping up a fairly even pace with
the bronzed Californlan, through the
slow moving first four rounds, giv
ing Baer no' end of trouble in the
clinches. He even uncorked a few
right crosses of force but the Liver
more lad didn't seem to mind that.
Max caught his opponent on the
chin with a rugged right early in
the fifth and then dropped Swiderskl
with a left hook a few seconds later
as the easterner attempted to move
Ln and clinch.

For Second Place
Baer got little recognition from
the crowd for his efforts, while the
Polish pounder was given a goodly
cheer in the sixth as he kept well
out of range of the Californlan's
right. He tired badly, however, and
was unable to raise his heavy left
in defense as Max floored him with
. thinner riP-ht to the head shortly
t off,.,- thn Rpvenfch oDened.
Swiderskl got up uncertainly at
nine and Baer moved in swinging.
Then Roth stopped the bout.

Five Records Menaced '
And of the 14 records that now
stand on the books, there ore only
five that are in any apparent danger
this year and, threo of those listed
as unlikely. - v - "
The two listed as most likely to
fall are: the 220-yard dash, with
Corwyn Beery, of La Grande, as a
threat; and the javelin, with Wlllle
Torrence, of La Grande, expected to
better the old mark providing weath
er permits. - Beery now holds the
220-yard record with starting blocks
and has a chance to better cither
this record or the regular, ono held
by Tagfart. , .
Torrence has thrown i the Javelin
farther than the present; mark pri)
certain occasions.
Three other records that might be
broken arc: the broad jump of 21
feet 7 Inches, with Torrence as the
only threat; the- 440-yard dash mark
of 63 16, which some dark horse
might lower; and the relay mark of
1:35, once tied but not yet sur
passed, during the last decade. The
Tiger team has an outside chance
to beat the record.
The marks for the century, the half
and mile, the hurdles, the pole vault,
high Jump, shotput and discus appear
very, very secure as fnr; as this year
Is concerned.
