Jimmy Braddock climbed up to the
heavyweight throne the hard way.
His trail to the highest prise the box
ing ring has to offer carried him
through over 80 battles; a record gen
erously sprinkled with defeats 23 In
all.
Supposedly shop-worn and at the
end of his ring career a year ago he
embarked on a comeback effort which
carried him to the heavyweight
championship. A few moments after
he had defeated Corn Griffin to start
his amazing comeback Max Bier,
whom he defeated for the title, as
cended the heavyweight throne by
punching out a smashing victory over
the giant Prlmo Camera.
To his everlasting credit It must
be admitted that Braddock was ready
for and equal to the golden oppor
tunity when It presented Itself.
The new champion followed a well
eon eel ved plan of battle against Baer
and piled up an early lead with a
neat left Jab. Braddock held his own
with Bner on those rare occasions
when the former tltleholder let go a
flurry of punches.
Took The Sunday Punch
After the third round, when Baer
landed his crushing right flush on
Braddock'a jaw with no apparent ef
fect, the New Jersey veteran gained
in confidence and clinched the vic
tory by taking the 13th and 14th
rounds.
Braddock'a victory waa most pop
ular with the 30,000 fans present at
the Miidlson Square Garden bowl,
for even hts stanchest admirers were
not optimistic enough, to hope for
more than a good showing.
Those who attended In the hope of
seeing another display of fireworks
such as Baer turned loose against
Max Schmellng and Camera were dis
appointed. When Max stepped out or
his character and tried to box he fin
ished a poor second to Braddock. In
the altogether too Infrequent punch
ing rallies he staged, his blows lack
ed ateam and either bounced harm
lessly of Braddock'a shoulder or were
robbed of their power when Jimmy
rolled with them.
Braddock moved from Baer's rltiht
to left all through the fight and In
doing so he rode with the blow that
was Intended to crush him to the
canvas for the count In any round
Opt tv h nine. Most of the (line,
too. Braddock managed to stay in
close where Baer could not bring his
long sweeping right hand punch Into
play.
An Ailing Mantle
Judging solely from the sparing
use Max made of his ir.oet formldaole
weapon, hla right hand. It ts easy to
believe the stories of the Injured
hand which emanated from his train
ing camp mlk'lit have been trtte.
This talk of an Injured hand la not
Intended as an alibi for Baer's de
feat nor Is it Intended to detrwl
from the fine victory scored by Brad
dock. It la merely an aflurt u ac-.

NEW YORK, June 37. (AP) In
leas than two week and with lesa
than two dozen paralyzing punches,
Joe Louis has forced a sharp re
vision of the fistic picture.
Whether or not Louts gets a "shot
at the title, the "Brown Bomber"
from Detroit has taken the heavy'
weight headlines from the people's
choice for champion, James J. Brad
dock. He la today the focal point
around which all the dickering, ma
neuverlng and ballyhoo will be cen
tered for some time to come. The
21-year-old negro has suddenly be
come "tops" as a pugilistic box-ol-flee
attraction for one big reason
hla knockout punch.
Insiders feel certain Max Baer will
fight Louis this September In New
York despite talk that the former
champion's damaged hands may force
him to quit the ring. The reason
Is that the Baer-Lou Is match la ex
pected to draw nearly $750,000 by
filling either the Yankee stadium or
the Polo Grounds.
Baer may decide his hands can't
weather a comeback, but he will no
doubt consider the fact that he can
collect more money by fighting Louts
than he did for his two title bouts
with Camera and Braddock com
bined. Meanwhile Joe Jacobs, manager
of Max Schmellng, told Mike Jacobs,
promoter of the 20th Century club,
and no relation, he would bring
Schmellng back to the United States
for a match with Louis in Septem
ber. Mike told Joe It could be ar
ranged, If Baer withdrew from the
picture. Otherwise the German might
be offered a bout with the winner
of the Bner-Louis affray.
Schtnellug's tie-up with the 20th
Century club would leave Madison
Square Garden holding the bag again
for a heavyweight title match next
year. The Garden has Champion
Braddock tinder contract, but the
rival organization has all the top
notch contenders.
The fact that the Carnera-Loula
bout outdrew the Bner-Braddock title !
match nearly 2 to 1 has convinced
all concerned that the heavyweight :
crown no longer means what it once
did from the box-office standpoint, j

Manager Paul Hoffard of the Med
ford baseball club announced this
afternoon that he hoa withdrawn
charges against Billy Calvert, Med
ford catcher and outfielder, whom he

standing." When advised of the situation fchl

of the southern Oregon league, said

his appreciation that th thing had
been settled amicably.
