NEW YORK, June S (AP) A rois
tering young blade from out of the
west, with thunaer in hU brawny Hate
end ell the "Miler Instinct" he ha
any uee tor, stood todey a threaten
ing menace to Jack Sharkey's heavy
weight crown.
Victor laet night over Max Schmel
ing by a crushing 10-round knookout
that left 68.000 spectators pop-eyed
with amazement. Max Baer of Cali
fornia, established himself the great
est young heavyweight to crash the
big scene since Jack Dempsey whit
tled down Jess Wlllard at Toledo.
Will Be Champion, He Says.
Tin going to win that champion
ship I" he shouted as shower swept
away every traoe of the combat. Not
one of the vast crowd that saw him
humble Bchmellng will argue the
point.
a minute and 51 seconds of the
tenth round had ticked away when
Referee Arthur Donovan stepped in
ward, merolfully, to lift Baer's hand
and spare the game German further
punishment. Bagging, reaaj
v,i mrd down and his eyes glazed,
' Bchmellng was an open target for a
punch that might have done last
ing Injury. There wasn't a dissenting
voice from the massed thousands in
Yankee etadlum.
ErefuU for Fighters.
The scene was an eye-full for Jack
hurkav and Prlmo Camera, both of
n, neared attentively from ring.
Ida chairs as Baer, a far greater
fighter than he had been given credit
. ti.turad down hi! man. One or
the other, the victor In their cham
pionship flgrit later In the month,
probably will get a chance to sample
the Baer oynamive, "
ful now that either rellehes the pros.
row?t.
Fighting as he did last night, at
the same vicious pitch, the man from
California would be a favorite to tear
through Sharkey's guard and siretcii
him on the canvas, or to cut down
the glgantlo Camera with. the fury
of his attack. He apparently Is Im
mune to punishment, and his own
right la like the kick of a mule.
"I don't know what happened," said
the daaod Bchmellng as he sat dis
consolate, removing his ring togs. It
was evident the sudden, sharp con
clusion of the combat, five rounds
before the scheduled finish, had left
him ahell-ehocked.
Teuton Got Careless.
"He wasn't hurting, me, so I got
careless and opened up. Wham, I
thought a house had fallen on me."
It was the first time Bchmellng
aver had been on the floor since he
first oame to the United States five
years ago. He had built up a legend
of immunity to the stlffest punches,
but he hadn't run into a right like
the one Baer waa tossing last night.
The only blemish attached to the
young Callfornlan's triumph waa his
frequent use of a backhand blow that
brought warnings from the referee
and ramberrlea from the crowd. Baer
used It at times like he was punching
a bag, when he backed Schmeling Into
the ropes and beat away at him
calmly, brutally. But the audience
forgave htm that after the big cli
max. Manager Confident.
Bo confident was Baer's manager,
Ancll Hoffman, of the ultimate re
sult that he sent his well-conditioned
young man into the battle with abso
lute orders not to open up until after
the fifth round. That, despite odds
which were as high as 4 to 1 In
Bchmellng favor at fight time.
Baer, however, couldn't resist the
temptation to wing a few, and in the
first two rounds he launched two
fisted attacks that beat his unsmil
ing antagonist all over the ring. That
satisfied him, and from there on he
waa content to bide his tjme.
Schmeling, taking advantage of
Baer's let-up, crowded In with a short,
sharp attack thattwon him his only
three rounds of the fight, the fourth,
sixth and seventh. Expert at the
ringside settled back, confident the
Callfornlan had shot his bolt, that
the German would slowly, efficiently
cut him to pieces the rest of the way.
The crowd booed the Llvermore pro
duct heartily as he backed around
llatleasly, or stood In his corner and
let Schmeling pour In blows.
Fireworks Mart lif Ith.
Then came the fireworks. Start
ing the eighth, Baer really began com
ing over the mountain. He ruahed
out with a mean look on his face for
the first time, no longer amlllng, and
he socked Schmeling with everything
In the book, both at long and short
range.
In the ninth he nailed the German
against the ropes twice and measured
him with terrltlc wallops to the Jaw.
When Bchmellng guard went up,
flats dug Into his middle. They were
In a furious mtxup at the bell, slug

he walked to his corner.
Bchmellng Flattened.
Baer wasted little time finishing
his man In the tenth. They came out

count reached nine.
Serious as a cyclone for perhaps
the first time In his jolly young
life, Baer sailed Into his battered rival
with a flurry of punches. Schmeling
covered up, slid along the ropes in
desperate effort to escape. But
Baer was on top of him, throwing his
203 pounds Into every shot,
A left doubled Schmeling up, and a

was the end.
The crowd paid 9230,100.05 to wit

tles of recent years and to assure a
fair profit for Jock Demnsoy In his
first big promotorlnl venture.
Round One.
Instead of crouching and rushing,
the biff Baer moved slowly Into
Schmeling and ripped a hard left
nook into the head. Encournged, the
big fellow leaped on Schmeling and
urn nfh cd to the ropes, banging both
nanaa to me oerman's ooay. He did

tore back In again. Ho hooked his left

Again Baer plnyed that trick but
this time Schmeling pulled back and
smashed a terrific right to Baer's face.

Round 9.
Schmeling was amlllng aa he came
out and met Baer in the latter'a cor

Schmeling on the ropes, and flailed
him with both hands, Left after left
and right after right tore Into the
Oerman's head as Baer lashed at him
savagely.
schmeling pulled awav and Baer
grinned confidently n he stabbed at
him with long lefts. Schmeling strove
to find a way to get past Baer's long
left, but Baer plied both hands to
the body, and grinned again aa be

and eaoh tried to find an opening
through the welter of the other's
arms. Suddenly they switched to the
head with a roaring free-handed ex
change that brought the crowd up
shouting.
Despite the terrlflo punishment he
had taken, Schmeling rallied strongly
and drovu Baer into a corner, cuff
ing the Callfornlan's head with short
hooks inside aa the bell caught Baer
naming back his right for a long-distance
smash.
Round S.
The excitement was so great around
the ringside that fights were break
ing out In the rear pews among the
customers. Apparently a bit wearied
from the pace, Baer stood off and
boxed as Schmeling moved constantly
in on him. trying to force opening for
his heavy right and short choppy left
Jabs.
Schmeling hooked a hard left to
the head and crossed his right solld-
.y to the jaw but Baer reached the
German with a right that started
his left eye closing.
Bser thundered in with both hands,
whipping them to the head, but
Schmeling merely shook his black
thatch and came doggedly back for
more. He got it aa Baer held him off
with a left and chopped his right
short to the head.
Schmeling leaped back In again,
thumping both hands to the body,
but BAer reached the Teuton with a
long right to the head and a left
hook to the bodyaa the bell sounded.
Round Plx.
Baer danced away, meeting Schmel
Ing's charg with a long left that
bounced from the Oerman's eyebrows.
Referee Donovan warned Bser for
sneaking punches in the clinches.
They swapped punches to the head
along the ropes and Baer almost drove
Schmeling from the ring with a right
high on the temple.
The Oeerman shook his head and
crowded back In, stabbing his left to

Keferes Donovans waxalng auio-
matically gave the round to Schmel
ing in the scoring.
Round Seven.
Baer stepped in with two rights
high to Schmellng's head but the
German ripped back with a pair of
rights that stopped the Callfornlan
short. Again Referee Donovan caught
Baer back-handing and warned him
as Schmeling pinned his burly foe
against the ropes and smashed his
body with both hands.
Baer drove a long left and right to
Schmellng's body but the steam seem
ed to be seeping from the Callfor
nlan's blows. Schmeling crowded In
side, drummed both hands to the
body and lifted a left hook to the
chin.
Baer threw both hands half-heartedly
to the head, lifted a right upper
cut to Schmellng's Jaw and crossed
a fine long right to Schmellng's head,
but the German fought bock stolidly
aa Baer miased another long right to
the head.
Baer smashed his right to the head
as the round ended.
Round Klght.
Baer had slowed down considerably,
lost some of his savagery, as he tried
to fend the dowed Schmeling off
with a long left hand. Baer ripped a
looping leit to the body and dropped
a short hard right on Schmellng's
chin but the German slipped in close
and tucked his head out of danger on
Baer's chest.
Boor took a hard right to the head,
drove Schmeling into the ropes swing
ing both flsta to the chin, but took
two short right smashes on the chin
as they came away. No matter how
hard Baer seemed to hit the German.
Schmeling came back, his hands
working buatly Inside.
Baer flailed Schmellng's head with
both hands and the crowd booed &a

then measured the German with a
volley of right-hand smashes to the
head. Schmeling laid back against the
ropes, apparently badly hurt, as Baer
reached him again with another
booming right to the Jaw, but once
more Baer hurt his own game by
backhandlng as the crowd booed.
Schmeling shook himself and got
in close, working both hands to the
body, but once more he ran into a
terrlflo fusillade of fchort left and
right Jolts to the chin. Baer was
punching as short as Schmeling us
ually did. hitting Schmeling almost ut
will with either hand in a neutral
corner. Baer kept slugging after the
bell and Schmeling waved protest to
the referee as he stumbled a bit go

A right floored Schmeling after a vol

Schmeling stumbled to his feet at
the count of nine but he was helpless
and Baer smashed him with both
hands. Referee Donovan stepped In

round.

SWEDE POLISHING
GRAPPLING HOLDS
FOR NEXT ITCH
Wltn "Swede' Anderson's wrestling
future depending largely upon the
outcome of next Wednesday's match
with Joe Reynolds of Seattle and
way points, tbe Swede Is working out
daily at the city fire hall with Ray
Frlsble, his trainer and manager,'
from which workouta Swede hopes
to be able to learn "what to do be
fore the doctor comes," or, rather,
to keep the doctor away.
Harry Demetral and Al Karaslck,
of course, will be the big dish of
fered, as these two wrestle the main
event. Karasick, of which there are
few butter, has been sought by Pro
moter Llllard for months, and signed
on the dotted; line early yesterday.
Demetral Is a veteran among veter
ans, weighs 202 pounds, and not
only acts and wrestles, but looks like
the wily old ring general he is. De
metral outsmarted Pete Beltcastro
last Wednesday to win the match,
and. In fact, has lost but few matches
in his life..
Known as the present day "Rus
sian Lion" and as the "chiropractic
headlock expert," Karaslck has maul
ed his way to the top of the wrest
ling ladder, and Harry Demetral has
done the same thing. Except for the
new crop of "college champions," De
metral and Karasick have wrestled
all of the leading heavyweights In
the world. Strangler Lewis' toe is a
familiar sight to Karaslck, and De
metral has demonstrated to Lewis
Just what a headlock feels like.
Joe Reynolds will be "Swede" An
derson's biggest match so far, and
the Swede is going through a lot of
skull practice this week. Frlsble Is
giving Swede all the low down on
what to do In pinches, and, accord
ing "to Frlsble, Anderson Is catching
on like a veteran.'
Upon request of the regular ring
side fans, the ringside seats have
been moved back three feet farther
from the ring, lust tor safety sake.
Anderson and Reynolds will wres
tle 45 minutes Instead of the 30 min
utes usually allotted the seml-wlndup
on a wrestling card.
THREE HOMERS IN
SPREE WITH BAT
(By the Associated Press)
Philadelphia fans, figuratively shed
ding tears over the failure of Jimmy
Foxx to live up to the proud boasts
they made for him when he clouted
58 home runs lost season, apparently
can dry their eyea and start cheering
him on toward record achievements
once more.
Jtmmle looked very much tike the
clouter of 1032 when ,he blasted his
way back Into the thick of the fight
at the expense of the mighty Yan
kees yesterday. With the redoubt
able Lefty Gomez as his mound op
ponent, Foxx crashed three home
runs, batted in five tallies and was
a leading figure In the 10-hlt attack
that gave the Athletics their first
victory of the season over the Yan
kees, 14 to 11.
For a while Foxx was tied with
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the
big league home run lead with 11,
but after the A.'s hod put the game
away with a six-run rally In the
eighth, the Babe reasserted his su
premacy by pasting his twelfth.
Another Philadelphia-New York
game was decided on long distance
slugging as the Giants, who have
given New York a monopoly on first
places for the first time in years,
turned back the Phillies, 7-6. Mel
Ott's seventh homer of the year was
the winning blow arter four baggers
by Homer Peel and Bill Terry had
brought In the other Giant runs.
AT ELKS TONIGHT
Followers of the billiard art will
enjoy a double treat tonight at the
Elks club when Gus Copulus, world
famous cueman will play an exhibi
tion match with two local experts
following the playoff of a tie between
Dr. R. E. Green and B. L. Sanderson
for the championship in the three

raging at the club for some time.
Each has won five and lost one game.
Copulus is In Med ford for a few

DEMPSEY CALLS BAER
A "NATURAL" OF RING
By JACK DEMPSEY
(As told to Edward J. Nell, Associated
Press s porta writer)
NEW YORK. June 9. (i Boxing
has found in Max Baer the kind of

men fought to knock each other out,
and you couldn't find plaoes big

In the California youngster are only

By BILLY 1IULEN
Southern Oregon Baseball league
will swing into the second week of
its ten week schedule Sunday, June
11, with the three leaders, Medford,
Coqullle and Klamath Falls hitting;
the rood to open league baseball at
Eagle Point, Ashland and Roseburg.
Local valley interest will be center
ed on the Medford Rogues invasion of
Eagle Point to battle Paul Hoffard's
Cheesemakers, and the game at Ashjt?
land between Bill For tier's Coqullle
Loggers, with their six left handed
hitters, and AshlandVs youthful Lithl
ans. Rivalry Renewed
Intense rivalry will have a renewal
when Medford and Eagle Point clash.
All year the two teams have played
red-hot games and Eagle Point's
league opener will probably prove no
exception. Medford has won tthree
pre-seoson games from the Cheese
makers, but Sunday's game Is what
really counts. Manager Halght of the..
Rogues will probably start BUI Lake
or Prltchett on the mound with Geo.
Harrington behind the bat. Loomls
will hurl for Eagle Point with Ivan
Harrington catching him.
Age vs. Youth at Ashland
At Ashland, an age-old battle will
be renewed when Coqullle, with a
team of experlcncea veterans, steps
out against the Llthlans who boast
no player over 25. Carl Gilbert will
start in the box for Coqullle and Mar
lon Fischer will catch. Ashland will
have Don McFadden on the mound
with either Balcovlc or McConnell be- 4
hind the bat.
The game at Ashland will be play
ed at the Ashland airport field which
is located two miles south of the city.
Test for Klamath
Frisco Edward's Klamath Falls Pel
icans will get the acid test when they
make the long hop to Roseburg Sun
day. Playing Ashland last Sunday In
the league opener, they looked like
world beaters, hitting viciously and
fielding brilliantly. But that long hop
to Roseburg will take something out
of them, end if they can still win;
then they must be classed as one of
the strongest clubs in the league.

the largest payroll in the city and
their employees should receive the
patronage of home people
pion. Jack Sharkey, and he'd oer
talnly have trouble evading the title
holder's left hand, but that will be
a fight equal to anything that has
gone before in the ring.
It's possible that Max Schmellng's
bravery, tremendous sbillty to take
punishment, will be lost sight of in
view of Baer's spectacular display, but
I have never seen a more courageous
exhibition than the German gave. He
was hurt from the start, yet he never
stopped trying, never stopped moving
in. He's still one of the finest heavy
weights I've ever seen.
As Baer moves a'ong. it seems nat
ural to expect his -boxing will Im- (
prove and tht importance of big bouts
will steady him. He has in himself
the ability to become one of the great
heavyweights of the ring.
A least he gave me the biegest
thrill I've had in ten years since the
night a man named Flrpo and I had
an argument in tiie polo grounds.
