Buddy Baer, dripping confidence
and sweat from every pore, ar
gued today that hit chances of
whipping Joe Louis In Madison
Square Garden next Friday
night are better on three counts
than they were last May when
he dumped his foe on a champ
ionship ear before being stopped
by the heavyweight king.
"I'll have two good hands, my
weight will be better and I'll
have a sharper left," predicted
bulging Bud as he grimaced at
the scales which showed his
poundage was down to a mere
245.
Virtually all the receipts from
this fight will go to the naval
relief society. Louis has donated
his 40 per cent cut and Promoter
Mike Jacobs is working without
profit. Baer is giving 2Vs per
cent from his challenging fee to
the sailor organization.
Veteran fight observers at
Buddy s Lakewood, N. J., camp
were willing to string along
with him on his theories about
the value of two good hands be
ing better than one and also that
at his present weight he prob
ably was stronger than he was
last spring but they could see
little Improvement in the Baer
left.
Greenwood Lake, N. Y., Jan.
3. (AP) Joe Louis convinced
four sparmates and a crowd of
visitors today that he will be In
shape to defend his heavyweight
boxing crown against Buddy
Baer in New York's Madison
Square Garden, Jan. 9.
The champion turned on his
punching power for better than

sparring partners he faced. Then
he pounded the light and heavy
bags, skipped rope and tossed
the medicine ball before Trainer
Jack Blackburn led him to the
