Baer ier May Defend Heavyweight Title ‘itle Against Schmeling in Europe JUDGE LANDIS PROBES DIZZY DEAN’S REPORTED $5,000 GIFT CHAMPION $300,000 [ove — ge — BOGENTRIG PITCHER, ROTHENBURG. OFFERS POR BOUT AUGUST 17 Contracts Stipulate ‘Butcher| Boy’ Must Be in Europe by July 17 HARVEY IS NEGOTIATOR Site of Proposed Bout Not Yet Determined; Terms Permit Go With Braddock New York, April 10.—\4)—A sea voyage may be just what the doctor ordered for Max Baer's depleted bankroll. Suggestions that Baer might accept Walter Rothenburg’s offer of $300,000 to defend his heavyweight champion- ship in Europe against Max Schmel- ing were scouted as “pipe dreams” when they first arose, but there «as nothing fantastic about, the two con- tracts Charley Harvey brought back from Europe Tuesday. Guarantee Is Given These contracts outlined terms for a Baer-Schmeling match somewhere jn Europe on Saturday, August 17. Both called for a guarantee of $300,- 00, but two methods of payment were ited. Under plan No. 1, Baer would re- ceive $150,000 four weeks before the fight and $150,000 more 10 days be- fore he climbs into the ring with Schmeling. Under plan No. 2 the champion would receive $15,000 be- fore he sails for Europe, $15,000 more when he arrives, and the remaining $270,000 after the fight has taken Place. Stipulate Date of Arrival Both contracts stipulated that Baer must be in Europe on or before July 17 and that he must not engage in any bout between July 1 and August 17. The latter provision would allow the champion to fulfill his contract with Madison Square Garden for a June title defense which probably will take him into the ring against Jammy Braddock. Harvey, manager of Steve Hamas. was named by Rothenburg to carry on negotiations with the champion.
