MORE GLORY, CON INWEST FOR MAX After Unprofitable Visit East Heavy Expects Big Money on Coast. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, January 20.— Maxie Adelbert Baer is go- ing back to California. What with the cold weath- er, the lukewarm enthusiasm of the customers and the high cost of night life hereabouts, the Liver- more larruper has come to the conclusion he is wasting time and money in New York.

YORK, January 20 (P).—An Dado, Evans, the greatest thing in ring shoes, more 7 expeditiously than hereabouts, where exhibition boxing tour of the public 1s now disposed to regard |the South, Southwest and Middle West Baer as just another heavyweight, A return_bout between Baer and Heerey in San Francisco or Los An- geles might be good for $50,000. Last Friday night's fight here between Baer and Heeney attracted a net of slightly less than $24,000. Though Baer did not shape up so well as far as he went with Heeney, the | writer still believes the €alifornian can become a topnotch heavywelght if he will settle down to business. Max was all grim determination when he boxed Schaaf, but against Heeney he carried the playboy attitude into the ring with Maybe it was @ccording to prear- ranged plan that he fooled around in | the firit two rounds with the Hard Rock. At any rate, when he got down to serious work in the first minute of the third he gave old Thomas a lam- basting. ‘Tom McArdle had planned to send Baer against Johnny Risko on Feb- ruar~ 6. Now that Max has decided to go home, Tom must rustle around for something else on that date. He hopes to close for a return match be- tween Len Harvey and Vince Dundee. Other contenders for the middleweight title, now vacant in this State, will be usec to fill in the card if the Harvey- Dr'ndee match is made. Ernie Schaaf and James J. Braddock will supply the fighting in the main event next Friday night. This is Braddock's big opportunity to put him- self in line for some good heavyweight shots. Jimmy is a full-fledged heav: weignt pounds. ‘The Jersey boy should show up better as a heavyweight than he did in the light heavyweight ranks. His lack of speed, which handicapped his efforts when he was campaigning among the 175-oounders, will not be so much of a drawback among the big fellows, most of whom are none too agile. In Golf Circles has been arranged for Max Schmeling to put the heavyweight champion in ;fl"h rate condition for his title bout { with W. L. (Young) Stribling of Macon, :Gn. some time in June, somewhere in [ the Midwest, In most of the cities, Schmeling will | box exhibitions with sparring partners in_conjunction with reguarly scheduled fight shows.
