WWt Baer on Heads Shake When Buddy Says He'll Charge Joe By GAYLE TALBOT WASHINGTON, May 22-fl)-Joe Louis got a good, brisk rub down from his faithful old retainer, Jack Blackburn, this after noon and pronounced himself ready for the 17th defense of his heavyweight championship against Buddy Baer Friday night at Griffith stadium. '?.: . . ! Asked how long he thought it might take him to dispose of the youngest of the Baer family, the champion surveyed the sweat glistening on his copper skin and said: 1 V BUDDY BAER Jefferson Wins League Finale JEFFERSON Coach Pat BeaTs Jefferson high baseball team de feated Scio 12 to 0 in the season's final game to assure the team of second place in the south Marion county B league final standings Weir, Jefferson pitcher, struck out 14 to maintain an average of 12J per game.Jire.also VsJ the team batting for the season with a '.380 average.

That was about as striking a pre-battle statement as anyone ever heard Joe make. It could be taken to mean that he will rate himself along with the tempera hire, so to speak. If it is as hot tomorrow night as it was today, then Buddy might be around for a good many of the advertised 15 rounds. "After tomorrow night I'm going right on up to Greenwood lake (NY) to start training for that Billy Conn on June 18th," he said in reply to a probing question on how he intended to overcome Baes great advantage in height and weight -5, -. ; ' . "Dent Intend to take no chances with Billy.t : Baer, at his training camp, said he had absolutely no fear of Joe Louis, even if his big brother, Max, did. He swore he wouldn't back up a step, but . would go lunging out at the big negro and try to fomock his head off. Those who heard Buddy say this looked at each other and shook their heads, There has been practically no betting on the outcome, even with the odds quoted at around 8 to against Baer's chances of winning the title. Buddy is in good shape and eXf pects to scale only about 237 at tomorrow's weigh-in, which is light for him. Louis, who never varies much, will be around 202.
