NEW YORK, June 14. (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

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.

Considered the best match on tho
card, although lasting but ten min

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

like they did last week, the race that
started out to be strictly a two-team
affair will turn Into a ding-dong bat

Last Sunday, Ashland surprised

time.
Manager Paul Hofard of the Med

do the throwing for Klamath Falls,
with Charles Booth back of the plate.
The Rogues are expecting the larg

grounds at 3:30 o'clock.
At present, Klamath Fall and j
