ASBURY PARK, N. J,, May 23.
(UP) Champion Maxle Baer made
the beat training showing of hla
ring career today despite a bruised
right hand and the menace of an
other breach of promse aut.
Preparing for his title defense
iignlnst James J, Braddock on June
13, the berserk bronzed belted waded
through nine fast round with five
par mates without widening a nos
tril.
The band of boxing writers who
clocked him were struck by his ap
parent excellent condition, his vastly
improved boxing skill and hla un
usual seriousness.
Maxle, who was almost banned
from a crack at Prlmo Camera's
crown last year because of his clown
ing In training, was In dead earnest
this afternoon in the outdoor arena.
mit ne wasn't 10 per cent aa earnont
hs his portly little manager, Ancil
Hoffman.
Despite Maxio'a brilliant work in
the ring, Hoffman's face had fallen
to horse length, and what waa the
matter with Ancll? "Another of
those breach of promise suits," ex
plained the worried pilot. "I feci It
coining on. In lees than a week, 1
expect to find that this Mlaa Mary
K. Brown has filed suit against
Mnxle. I understand her mother la
paving the way right now by an
nouncing that Mary and Maxle wilt
be wed In mid-June. Just aa soon as
she heara that Maxie la denying the
wedding plana, I expect to get the
papers,"
Waa Maxle actuMly denying plra
for a marriage .;li Miss Biown?
I'll say I am." said Mnxle. "How in
hell can I get married when I've
got to support all my managers, at
torneys, brothers, -ulsters and par
ents. Why I'm hardly making enough
to support myaelf."
Did Maxle ever promlae to ahufllc
up to the altar with Miss Brown?
The Liver more Loch Invar Insisted he
had not. Ana what about the tales
of the phantom femme whose shad
owy figure has been reported seen
night after night with the cham
pion out on the tennis court of his
training mansion in Long Branch.
"That's a lot of bunk." declared
Maxle In hla dressing room. "No
dame's been out here to see me at
night. And that goes double for
M::ry K, Brown." j
Although Maxle la by no means a I
Tommy Ionghran In rlngcraft aa yet,
hla improvement In boxing technique
waa downright amazing. Even against
speedy Al Truhlmana, a California
middleweight. Maxle proved a shifty
target with face well protected by
bulark of left shoulder and fan
ning right hand.
Moreover. Maxle had taken most
r the loop out of his punches. He
Is Jabbing straight, faat and hard
with his left, and shooting short
right body jolts and head smashes
with his right. He la not hitting as
hard ss usual with his right because
he is still nursing this mitt, whtch
he injured nearlv a month ago in
an exhibition bout with Eddie Stmm
at Cleveland.
WOULD RE-ENTER
Star Middleweight of Puget
Sound Country Now Med
ford Citizen Layoff
Forced by Frequent Bouts
When the middleweight wrestlers
start filing Into Med ford this sum
mer on their annual trek down the
Pacific coast, which la an old Span
ish custom among the muscle-man-glers
of the middleweight class,
there's going to be a lR2-pound dy
namo of speed and power here, ready
and waiting for them.
Floyd Wolfgang la hla name and
he's known up around Olympia,
Wash., as one of the smoothest 150.
pound grapplera who ever climbed
through the hemp. Not long ago he
was going over big In Olympia, In
Portland, and In parts of Canada.
He proved such a big drawing card
that the promoters used him too
often and too long, wearing him to
a frarale before he realized it.
So Wolfgang packed up and drifted
souih, blowing into Medford about
three months ago. Now he's In fine
fettle again, handling a monkey
wrench and slinging grease at the
used car lots of Rogue River Chev
rolet. Inc., and after a talk with
Promoter Mack Llllnrd he figures
that he might as well make Med
ford his wrestling, aa well as his
business headquarters.
"Why not stick around for a while,
nd 1 11 try and sign up some
matches," said Llllard.
"Why not." said WoUgang. so he
hung up his hat and la planning to
work himself Into shape In his spare
time. He has already climbed back
to his par 153 pounds.
Wolfgang has had four years or
experience In professional wrestling.
and Is In the prime of his career.
He has had no serious injuries,
although he has gone through plenty
of tough asstgnmenta and knows
what it means to take a beating
During the height of his popularity
In Washington, where he says on one
card he drew a bigger crowd than
Jack Dempsey. he wrestled many or
the country's leading middleweight
These Include Robin Reed, the coun
try's topnotch middleweight, with
whom he stayed an hour and i
quarter; ' Jark Gorman, Dps Ander
son, and Jack McLaughlin, Canadian
middleweight champion.
Wolfgang started amateur wrest
ling In the Y. M. C. A., and in two
years of amateur line he acquired
fondness for clean, scientific mat
work that has stuck to him ever
since.
Specializing In a flying step-over
toehold, he counts mainly on bal
ance and leverage to win his
matches.

HOLDS INTEREST
OF LOCAL
Farmer to Mount Freak Calf
OAK HILL, N. Y.tUPl Lyman
Strong, a farmer, plana to mount the
twin heads of a, two-headed calf born
recently to his cow.
Interest ta ninnln? hLgh in Mei
ford for the third clash between the
Medford Rogues and the Grants Paw
Merchants, to be played at the Senior
h'gh school field here Sunday. Both
previous games were played in Grants
Pass, with each team taking one vic
tory. Manager "Hoosler" Hoffa.rd,
with several new players, believes thxt
he can duplicate his early season fea.t.
and romp home with a win.
In a brink workout at the new high
school field last night, the Hoosler
had a chance to see his two new men
from the Bellingham Normal schol
work out for the first time. The bic;
chucker, Strickland, displayed mark
ed talent in the artistic use of the
knuckle-ball, with amazing control.
Wrlton. the new outfielder, looked so
promising la.t night that Hoffard h.is
a nnounced that he will start the
game.
The thin that please Hoffard
more than any other, is the fact that
he now has an Imposing batten' to
throw against the Merchants. H.s
pursuit rqu.idron of Hess and Prlt
chett will be backed up by the aharp
shooting Strickland, w'th "Speedball"
Thompson, the boy that fthe scouts
will be looking over Sunday, to do
the bombing.
Thompson has a ball so fast th.t
he doesn't need the twisting curve
that he can muster if necessary. In
Grants Pass he whistled them past j
the Cavemen sluggers so fast that !
they didn't even get their hlckorv j
orf their shoulders. It is unusual
for a pitcher to consistently throw i
them pat Al Drolette, the Merchants' j
heflvy timber man. but Thompson did t
Just that until he blew in the sev- J
enth.
The new field Is almost completed. '
with a smooth infield being rolle-l ;
now for arwedy play. T:ie board fence j
will be completed before Sunday. A !
large crowd Is expected, with this b
Ing the second home game for the
Rogues. The new .Meld Is also ex
pected to ndd much to the popularity
of the game here.
