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.

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

duels, the "gate" exceeded only by

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.
