RESTON (Acocizted Press Sports Writer) | NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-—Boxing muddled through another dreary, performance in 1934, and was saved | by that eminent comediafy, Max Baer brought the heavyweight championship of the world back to the United States by thrashing Primo Carnera here last June in one of the most vicious battles in modern history. Maxie sent the Italian goliath spinning to the floor ' 11 times, cuffed and clouted him at will until the 11th round when the title changed hands on a tech- nical knockout. 8 Baer prepared for this fight with comical indifference. He clowned through what was sometime known | as a “traininz period,” joked with the monster before and during the fight, but fought with such effec- tiveness against the Italian that all the other exhibitions of the! year are as nothing in comparison. Boy, What Fighters! 1 The other heavyweights fought with amazing ineffectiveness—when they did fight. Art Lasky, billed modestly by Madison Square Gar- den as “the coming heavyweight champion of the world” refused in his two fights to justify his claim. He labored with Steve Ham- as and lost a disputed decision and then could do no better than a draw with King Levinsky. Max- - Schmeling’s- vigtery —-over ‘Walter Neusel and his refusal to return here to prove that he is worthy of another chance to re- gain the heavyweight crown; and Carnera’s decision to tour South America were blows to the game. ¢ J Ress Outstanding | featherweight battle, leaving the Barney Ross stood out as the title to Freddy Miller, Cincinnati; outstanding man in the lower di- 'and Maxie Rosenbloom lost his visions.
