NEIL James J; Braddock, in the eyes of the common people and experts alike, the weakest challenger in all the history of heavyweight championship prize fighting, gets his Cinderella chance, small as it is, against brilliant, savage Max Baer in Madison Square Garden's big bowl on Long Island tomor row night. , - Rarely since James J.. Corbett, Irish as Jersely Jim. won the title from John L. Sullivan in 1892, in the first heavyweight championship duel ever fought under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, has a challenger been rat ed close to the Braddock low as Indicated by betting odds. Ccrbett Victorv Over Sullivan Recalled Baer is a 5 to 1 choice tonight, where Sulivan, all those years ago in the highest previous champ ionship odds, was only 4 to 1. Bnt long shots have a habit of coming in on such pugilistic oc casions, for Corbett dethroned the mighty John L. and in more modern times Jess Willard beat Jack Johnson, Gene Tunney whip ped Jack Dempsey, and Primo Camera knocked out Jack Shar key with the beaten man each time a 3 to 1 favorite. The champion, at his peak at .26. a magnificent figure of a browny, perfectly trained athlete, boasted every visual and factual advantage over the dogged veter an who has been whipped 22 times in nine years spent chiefly among the light heavyweights. Jimmy is 29 years old middle age In the prize ring and only a set of the most fortuitous cir cumstances in heavyweight histo ry dragged him, much to his own surprise, into his title chance. Contender Must Withstand Early Onslaught Despite the mass of evidence him, this writer believes that Braddock can win Baer's champ ionship in the bowl tomorrow night, but to do it he must weath er the most savage first and second round assoult the ring has seen since Jack Dempsey was in his prime. If Braddock gets by the first five rounds, he may plod methodically along to a fifteen round decision victory, and to the hysterical cheers of a 30,000 crowd that will be heart and soulwith him, even though their reasoning says he can't do it. Braddock, an icicle of a. man. desperate, hungry, pouring every thing into his last shot at fame, has the same chance lhat Gene Tunney had against Dempsey the night the rain pourned down on the Sesqui-Centennial stadium in Philadelphia in 1926. He hits a tremendous drive off his should er with a big. hamMkeright fist, and if he meets Baer's first man iacal surge with a blast into the middle of the champion's face, as Tunney did. the complexion of the entire fight can change instantly. Rights to Head Maimed Sehmeling and Camera I Baer maimed Max Sehmeling and Primo Camera; former champion, with an early barrage of terrific right hand punches to the head. Neither ever recovered that same night from those open ing harts, though Baer each. time toyed 'With' them for some ten more rounds. before each finished, technically knocked out, but still erect. Some day Baer's opening blast will miss, and if tomorrow night is the time for it, the Irish may reclaim the heavyweight champ ionship, in the hands of a Ger man, Lithuanian, Italian, and bow a German-Jew since Tunney retired. , "Who's Stella Walsh?" Helen Stephens of Fulton, Mo., remarked after beating the Olympic champ's 60 meter record at the National A. A. U. indoor meet at St. Louis. The Missouri girl and Stella are ex pected to match speed in outdoor meet eoon, where Stella says Helen will find oat who he it, . I ivrffc I W.B.Forbes MTCQNATlONAi.

Luck has been riding with James J. ever since he stepped into the ring a l-to-2 short-ender against Corn Griffin in a six-round prelim inary to the Baer-Carnera brawl last year.

She was appointed by County Judge Sieg mnnd to serve In the Silverton district daring the temporary ab sence of Frank Alfred, who is at- tenaing tne national guard en campment at Fort Lewis, Wash. for him to win the verdict, since if Lewis hadn't been penalized for two accidental low blows it is more than likely that the Coast Negro would have been given the nod. Luck was with James again in his next bout, for his opponent, Art Lasky, went into the fight with a badly bruised left hand. Even after beating Lasky, Braddock wouldn't have gotten the title shot, if vari ous complication and Commission orders hadn't forced Camera and Sehmeling out of the picture. Then, too, there is the Garden Bowl Jinx, which has never failed to put the hex on every champion who has fought in the arena. That hoodoo will be on the lucky Irish man's side tomorrow.

Caustic Carries on By CAUSTIC Maxie Adelbert Baer, king, clown prince and jester of the fistic world all rolled into one, is defending his title tonight in a bout that has failed, de spite reams and ' reams of the old build-up turned out by press agents and press associa tions, to raise the interest of the fans much above the freez ing point. O James J. Braddock Is the con tender, as you doubtless know, and is taking the affair with great seriousness and has been training with no clowning, while Maxie has been finding time to mix in a bit of powder puff punching with his picture posing. Still, Maxie seems to be the fa vorite and the scribes on the spot say he is in A-l condition from digging holes in the sand and changing his wardrobe. Braddock has been dubbed "Old Man Depression'' because he was on the relief rolls only a short while ago. A win to night would mean the street called easy for Braddock, who at least has the first name and middle Initial of two previous champions. James J. was borne by Corbett and Jeffries. Brad dock, a quiet sort of fellow, is the exact opposite of playboy Smacksie Maxie. He has a wife and two children who are among his most rabid support ers.
