(AP) The mtin who couldn't win, the loto-l shot who didn't have a chance 20-year-old James J. Braddock is the heavyweight champion of the world today In the most astounding upset since John L, Sullivan went down be fore the thrusts of Ctentleman Jim Corhett back In the gay nine tin. He couldn't, win but he whipped the curly haired "man killer." Mux Biter, by a mnrtttn that was close but nevertheless convincing In 10 slow, plodding rounds before an amased crowd of scarcely 80,000 cash custom ers Isst night In Madison Square Oar den's half-empty bowl. Tends to Ituslne He didn't have a chance to cope with the bigger, stronger, hard hit ting Callforntan. but he kept fight ing, punching, piling up point by paying strict attention to the busi ness of the evening. He earned the unanimous decision of Referee John ny McAvoy and the two Judges. Or or Kelly and Charley Lynch. . Braddock waa Just another flstlo "has been" only a year ago, getting up off the floor In a preliminary to the Baer-Carnera sHiKfeat. That fight started a comeback which led straight to the end of the rainbow, with Its championship glory and the pot of gold that means no more visit to the relief agency by the Braddock family. j Baer waa unable to dispel the Jinx that has pursued every champion to atake his title In the sprawling Long Island city arena, Including Max Schmellng, Jack Sharkey and Prlmo Carn era. Braddock won, not by any spec tacular methods or margin, but be cause he Muck everlastingly to hla guns, standing hla ground In every exchange at close range and using every resource at hla commend to the bM advantage. Proves Courage He proved not only that he waa courageous, willing and a steady puncher but that consistency has Its own reward. Baer lost, despite a gallant finish, because he started too slowly, clown ed too much and found too late that he could not put over anything re eembling a finishing blow against an opponent who gave him few openings and yielded no unnecessary ground. The Callforntan fought a bad fight, but Braddock made him loot bad. Max hurt both hands, he said, before the fifth round, but he didn't do It because of using them too often. Dlitconsolnte but generous In prais ing his conqueror, Baer said he was 'through" with the ring, but no one iook him seriously. Before he crouched, scowling, for the IMh and final round, knowing that his crown was slipping from him. Harr summoned a characteristic grin and whispered to Braddock: "Good luck to you, kid, if you win the champlonahlp." No Knockdown. The mature was a crowning touch to a fluht that added a strange and surprising chapter to heavyweight annals. Ther were no knockdowns, nor did either fishier exhibit a punch calculated to brtrK about a , sudden turn of event. The crowd, though strongly par-j tlaan In the challenger's favor be-, cause he was so much the underdog. frequently booed and yelled for ac- j tion. For round after round, tha on-1 looker seemed to be walttng for i the moment when Baer would open ' un launch characteristically savage attack and cut the plodding chal lenger down. Grimacing and clown lug, the champion himself seemed to be coasting. If not actually pull ing his punches at close quarter and biding his time for the opening and th "kill.' Baer let fir rounds slip past be fore he landed anything like a solid, Jarring punch. He ?o far behind ftr a down rounds that not ffen his most desperate eitoru could turn trw tide. Baer brought gales of laughter from the crowd with hi antic, but also damaged hU chances by tactics which violated the rule and resulted in penal tie. Baer Hitting Low. When Braddock missed a punch in the eighth round, Baer feigned grog;new and wtth a grin ssveo In hi tracks hand down, but Ret err McAvoy took three round away from him the fifth, ninth and twelfth because the champion hit low or bsckhandrtl. The turning point came In the twelfth l'p o that pom; Bi ad dock had been hard pressed to keep bU .'ly SAlvauuje, Baer w out- New Champion Hailed 4 VJ?f f S-Jt 4'4 ,r?J L'td JIMMY BRADDOCK punching him In close quarters, crowding the challenger more and looking for the main target. The champion had taken the two previous rounds. He had blood trickl ing from Braddock's nose, which had been cut In the sixth. Baer wu on top of Braddock near the latter's corner when he let fly a low puncn, Just before the bell. The crowd Jeered vociferously ana Joe Oould, Jimmy's manager, ran half way across the ring to yell a warning at Baer. A policeman leaped In to help restore order but It wasn't necessary. The referee took the round away from Baer, and the champion chance were behind him. Max Finishes jtrong. Braddock took everything But could mustr In the last three rounds. The challenger not only countered, briskly to the head ana body In every exchange, but tried hard for a knockout himself. Once he grazed Baer's chin with a loop ing right hand that had dynamite in It. Max finished strong, with a shade the better of the last two rounds, but he waa too far behind on point to make up for lost ground. On the Associated Press score sheet each man waa credited with seven rounds, with one even, but Brsd dock'a margin wa mora pronounced in the rounds ha won. At no stage did Baer resemble the "killer" who knocked out Max Schmellng two years ago and who smashed Prlmo Camera to defeat In the same battle pit last year. Clowning Costly. Regardless of how much he was handicap, M by damaged hand Baer undoubtedly paid the penalty tor under-estimating hla challenger be forehand and wasting too much time during the fight in gesturing or clowning. He waved at rlngalders, thumbed hi nose st Jeering spec tators, but neglected to pay enough punching attention to his challenger. Other results on the card: Eddie Hogan, 217. Waterbury. Conn., outpointed Jack McCarthy, loll, Boston (A); Steve Dudus. lB3lt. Passaic, N. J., outpointed , Terry Mitchell, lHo, Boston, itfi; Tony Clalento, 931'i.

Casey Knzanjlftn, former ace foot baller from Stanford, used a tortuous hammer lock to win two straight falls In the seml-finnl from big Johnnie Mo Wood, ex-grld star from U. C. L. A. McWood demonstrated great strength but the more experienced Stanfordite applied a variety of holds until he found McWood's weak spot with the hammer lock. He won tho first tumble In 13 and the second In two minutes, bcnrlng down on the arm hold with pressure from his knees Kacanjlan weighed 314 and McWood 313!&. Considered the best match on tho card, although lasting but ten min utes, the opener saw plenty of ac tion from Floyd Wolfgang, Medford's recent middleweight find, who ued a double drop-kick from the mat to flatten Joe Oardner of St. Louis, pinch hitting for Roy Clayton of Walla Walla, who was unable to ap pear because of an Injury. Wolfgang, weighing ISO to Gardner's 100 pounds, proved a veritable speed merchant, specialising In a flying stepover toe hold. The three La Foe brothers, of Can ada, furnished a highlight of the program wtth a spoedy take-off of the Baer-Braddock fight In which leather flew fast and furious, and also a "raaatln match. The fans toss ed In a quantity of coins to help them work their way around the country by putting on similar exhibitions. Promoter LUlnrd announced that Lea Wolfe, popular Texan, has been secured for a main event appearance next week. The most popular wrest ler ever to appear here. Wolfe Is ex pected to draw a big house of lady admirers as well as men followers. HEAVY FIRING ON SCHEDULE TODAY IN SIATnHOOI Championship in A- B. C. and D.
