Negro Flattens Max in Fourth to Become Uncrowned Ring King GO WITH GERMAN NEXT ON HORIZON FOR SABLE TIGER Wax Makes Mistake of At tempting to Box Bomber Victor Weds On Eve of Battle Playboy Through JJTTW YORK, Sept. 3S. (AP) JM loul, the battling bridegroom, agreed today to plans for a foreign tour, In fluding IlghUi In South America and European capitals, under the promo tion of Mike Jacobs. The German heavyweight, Walter JJeusel, If successful against Prlmo Camera In a match scheduled for Uov. 1 at Madlaon Square Garden, vlil be matched with Louis, later In November, according to Jacobs. Bevlied official figures today show ed last night's show was a million dollar spectacle, after all. The gross gate receipts according to Jacobs, to talled (848,352.17. To this was added 27,000 paid for the ringside broad cast and 25,000 for the motion pic tures, sending the total to $1,000, 8S2.1T.

Max was treated by a physi cian for a "pain In the neck," due to the slashing attack that had him on the floor three times last night and left him fearfully battered. By Alan Gould Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 28. (AP) It looks like a non-stop flight to the top of the pugilistic he ftp for the jjrown bomber. There "remained today not the (flightest doubt of the two-fisted greatness of Joe Louis, leaat of a'l la the minds of upward of 00,000 on lookers who saw the 31 year o'4 De troit negro on his bridal evening mow down the once magnificent Max Baer with a punching blast as deadly aa 311a chine gun fire. Mercilessly, methodically, never wn sting a blow and rarely slackening m punching pace that has had few equals In heavyweight history, Louis knocked out the former champion In the fourth round of a 15-round match that revealed all the glamour of the prize ring In a near million-dollar spectacle at the Yankee stadium. Baer Outclassed Baer not only was completely out classed but made the fatal mistake of trying to box Louis. Ho was knocked down three times, twice In the third round, where the bell saved him aa he sat blinking on the floor. He was counted out while swaying on one Xnco near the end of tho fourth round. In 11 minutes and 60 seconds the youthful negro punched Baer Into a bloody, senseless wreck; a battered figure atill trying to muster the pre tense of his once marvelous powers Of resistance. It seemed that Louts must have hit Baer nearly 600 times with as vicious a two-handed onslaught as any first clans heavyweight has absorbed since Dempsey slaughtered Jess Wlllard at Toledo In 1019 or hammered down Louis Angel Flrpo at the Polo grounds In 1023. A "Killing" It was, In the words of a late critic of the fight business, "modified mur der" In every sense of the word; a 'killing" so devastating and complete as to leave not a single question for dispute. On his honeymoon today, upward nf 9200.000 richer, and taking It all with the same coolness that charac terizes his amazing ring workman ship, Joe Louis seemingly has no wor ries about a pugtllntlo future. The brown bomber's twenty-fifth consecutive vtstory and his 31st knockout since he turned profession al scarcely 14 months ago capped the climax of his most spectacular march alncn Dempsey wartrd through all op position to the world championship. The title held by the rx-stevedorc, James J. Brnddock, Is Louis' goal, but It probably will be a year before he gets the chance to claim It for his . rare Tor the first time since Jack Johnson ruled the fistic heights. Nrliniellng Next A match with Max Schmellng, the German who once wore the heavy weight crown, la the next major goal for the brilliant negro. Promoter Mike Jacobs, heir to Rlrkard's mantle, said he plans to match l,ouis and Schmel lng for a 16 round fight at either of New York's parks next June, the win ner to box Braddock for the title In September. "Louis told me he wants to fight as often as possible." sold Jacobs, who already has the ncsro under contract for two more years with an option on hla fighting services until 1940. For those who saw Louis crush Baer. there isn't the slightest doubt that the chocolate soldier can and will whip Schmellng and then "take" the (reliant Braddock. The simple Indis putable fact Is that there la no out standing heavyweight who figures to go the route under the bomber's bar rage. Bnef lacked Pyrin mite Max may have had fury In his heart, but there was no dynamite In his flat. Instead of setting a whirl wind pace, he came out cautlouti--Instead of slugging, he tried to box aa masterful a young boxer as the ring bas developed In a generation.

(Associated Press Photo) After taking a terrific lacing for two rounds, Baer crumpled under the negro's two fisted fire and sagged slowly to the floor for the first time midway In the third round. The blood through which he had grinned Insolently, disdainfully In earlier me lees, drlppecl from his face, now a gro tesque mask. As he squatted, the curly haired Callfornlan managed another smile, and with the Instinct of the great showman that he has always been, waved to the crowd that was on Us feet, yelling for the "kill." ' Characteristic Gesture It was a characteristic Baer ges ture, a magnificent touch from a warrior who knew the end was com ing. Eyes bleary, Baer staggered to ; his feet nt the count of nine. j He met another withering blast, backed Into the ropes, then swayed I and toppled again. He was saved this i time by the bell, at the count of four. Frantically Jack Dempsey and other handlers told the battered .former champion to "keep punching," but i the old flro was gone. Max knew It and so did everyone else. Louis, still In no great hurry, I methodically stalked his man, shift ing his crushing left hooks to the ! body, blows that wiped the last ves- tlgea of a grin from BaerM's bruised,, bleeding face. i Once Max flicked a backhand blow to the bomber's face. The referee ad monished him but It was unlmpor- tant. Soon Louis swept In again, smaeh- 1 lng two lefts to tho head, then a right that put Baer down for the last time, Max's eyes blinked. He was on one knee, swaying a bit. Ho didn't hear the count and ho dian't seem to care. Out For First Time He was still swaying when Referee. Arthur Donovan swung his arm down for the tenth time. Baer was "out" for the first time In his career. In evory sense of the word. There was little or no doubt about the outcome from the first round, when Louis drew flrat blood with sharp left hooks to the nose and mouth, then backed Baer Into a neu tral corner and gave him a two handed lashing that had the crowd wild. All told Baer didn't land a half dozen solid blows. Hla announcement afterward that ho is through with the ring came as no shock to those who witnessed the failure of his at tempted comeback. For supreme nonchalance, however, Baer's career contains nothing to equal the latest achievement of Louis. The negro not only conceded all of Baer'a requests for special gloves, more hand bandages and tape, but capped the climax by marrying hla Chicago sweetheart, Marva Trotter, scarcely two hours before going to the stadium to face the greatest crowd that has ever seen a sports event In New York. Receipts tl32.!44 Receipts fell below expectations of another million dollar gate, after a lapsa of eight years, but the gross tola! of 90.13,044, collected rrom 84, 83t cash customers, marked a re markable fistic comeback aa well as a new "high" for any prlre fight since the depression. The sire of the crowd was surpass ed In fistic annals only by the turn outs for the two Dempsey-Tunney duels, the "gate" exceeded only by five of Tex Rlckard's extravagances, all featuring Dempsey.

Louis dynamited Baer Into ring obliv ion last night with one punch like a Lennox avenue subway train. Brad dock can't staond up In front of the Chocolate Chopper If the rest can't, and there you have a world heavy weight champion at the age of 21. with no one In sight to even argue about It. And perhaps It's Just as well that there are no disputes. A few of the tough eggs ought to be saved for participation In this war It looks like we're going to have before long. At least something was gained by the fight, by this department. By picking the wrong man, we qualified as an A-l sports writer. Darwin Burgher, coach for five i years at Medford high school and now at Boife, Ihado, high, has the most desirable high school coaching job In the state of Idaho, according to L. H. Gregory, Portland sports writer. The Boise school is the largest In the state, with worlds of athletic mater ial. Last year their teams didn't do so well, so the situation Is now just ripe for a good picking. Idaho Is ex pecting much of Burgher, and those who saw him win 39 football games, tie two and lose only flva In the five years he was here also expect him to go places. Instead of being head coach at Boise, he is director of athletics, with active charge of all teams In the school, whether ha Is actively coaching them or not. He has no classrooms to oversee. While Leon Hasklns, Hank Prlngle and Mr. and Mrs. Russel Semon were ' hunting in eastern Oregon, they ran across a rather funny situation. There was an elderly man in the district possessed of a black horse. As every one knows, a mule tall deer Is pr.etty heavy, and It is sometimes an almost impossible job for two men to carry one out Into the open, where It can be picked up In a car. This Ingenious fellow follows the hunters around with his horse, and when they make a kill, he offers to carry (lt to camp on hla horse, for $3. If they hire him before leaving, he only charges half that, but If he finds the hunter in the woods, unable to carry their ani mal, the price goes up. It sounds like a racket, but few nlmrods would rather pack a 250-pound deer several miles than shell out three bucks. We wouldn't. If we happened to have three bucks. According to figures Just released oy me lainorma region oi me u. a. forest service, there will be 1 15.000 hunters who will spend an average of four or five dnya In the mountains looking for deer.
