BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 12—Despite its dramatic prospects and the | probability it will be a sur- prisingly hard-fought match, | the world heavyweight championship | fight between Champion Max Adelbert | Baer and Challenger James J. Brad- | dock tomorrow night has failed to arouse either the fine frenzy of ex- | citement or the sharp differences of opinion generally associated with such | momentous fistic affairs. It may not be a financial fl | things considered, but it certainly | lacks drawing power. Madison Square | Garden’s promoters predict a “gate” | of $350,000 at their Long Island City bowl, but on the basis of advance sales they appear to be optimistic. It may not exceed $250,000. Held No Match by Baer, Tm!: widespread impression that Braddock, while a very game and deserving young man, is no match for | the free-swinging, colorful and con- | fident Californian has. no doubt. af- fected the advance interest, or lack of it. Braddock’s record, despite his comeback within the past year, hardly justifies much confidence in his chances. During the four years since 1931, in which Bae: has fought his way to the top, Braddock has been whipped nine times. The Jersey battler is three years older. slower and carries a less potent punch than the champion. These indisputable facts account largely for Baer status as 5-to-1 choice in most betting books on Brcadway. There's no Braddock money, even at that figure Braddock does not figure to win, but the hunch in this corner is that he will make it interesting for Baer and display the kind of courage that brings a fighter up from the resin to turn the tide. Jimmy has stamina and punching ability to go with his gameness. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by carrving the fight to Baer whenever he gets a chance. TH’E challenger’s best chance, if any, will be to get the jump on the champion at the outset but he will be well advised not to run undue risks. | ‘The longer the fight lasts the better Braddock's chances will be, even if op. all | in! Long Bout Jim's Chance. he has to get up off the floor a few times to convince Baer he can “take it” and come back. The suspicion that Baer may not be in the best of condition or that his | hands will be subject to injury is not well founded. For all his playboy ac- | tivities and super-confidence, the | champion is smart enough not to; underestimate any fighter with Brad- ' dock’s courage and determination. He is not only in good condition but he probably will discard his wise- eracking, once he is face to face with | Braddock in the ring. | The threatening talk from Baer's eamp about the selection of a ref- eree is not to be taken seriously. It's the old stuff. The champion's man- uger will abide by the Boxing Com- mission’s selection and like it, al-| though the protests in advance may be sufficient to keep Arthur Donovan from getting the assignment. Jack Dempsey hardly can get the call, | either, because of his close association in the past with the champion. | - | BELSHE BUSY TODAY WITH HAND-SHAKING Gains Interdepartmental Golf Title With 149—Miller Is Second With 153. | | M BELSHE is the recipient of | congratulations today at the War Department for his victory in the in- terdepartmental _golf tournament.

Braddock will be the most uneven in the re- cent history of heavyweight title competition. There is almost no important money on Braddock, Jimmy's supporters are backing him generally to the extent of ten or twenty dollars and hoping for the best. My odds on the fight are: Against Braddock, 5 to 1. Against Baer, 1 to 6. I also am offering even money that Braddock will not survive the seventh round. The trend this week is toward Baer, and the chances are that, by the time the fighters enter the ring the odds will have risen to 7 or 8 to 1.

BY JOHN QUOTE from the minutes of the last meeting of the Second Guess- ers and Dopesters’ Union, local 106: “What about Paul Waner?"” “Listen, you can't leave Cronin off o all-star team.” “What about Paul Waner?” “If they have to pick at least one guy from each club that National n | League team is gonna be full of| catchers.” “Home runs or no home runs, Roy Johnson can play better ball than his brother. Throw, hit, run—" “But what about Paul Waner?” Game Inspires Conversation. 'HAT'S the gist of it. The boys are talking, as boys will, about the all-star game in Cleveland four weeks from now. Talk is all they can do, because the vote has been taken away from them. The managers will | do the voting. The fans, being dis- enfranchised, have to sit arounc the lunch wagon and argue as quoted above and wonder it the Democrats will retain control of the all-star ball teams for 1935. . One point stands out in the dis- cussions so far—namely, that each club in each league must have at least one player on the all-star squads. The boys are asking (and telling) each other who the lucky winnahs will be— who will get the call from the Reds, and the Dodgers, and the Phillies, and the Browns. You must admit that | there are certain elements of con- troversy in the situation. The Phillies, for instance, have no real candidate except Jimmy Wilson. But Brooklyn's chief asset is Al Lopez, also a catcher. and the Cub's chief asset is Gabby Hartnett, also a catch- er. As one of the speakers pointed out at the beginning of this essay, it makes for a plethora of catchers among the nominees. lyn, of course, could offer Frey, a good shortstop, and Boyle, a good outfielder, and Van Mungo, who, despite nis recent run of bad luck, is one of the three or four best pitch- érs in the league. Preddy Limdstrom, if he ever starts hitting, could make the squad from Chicago. But you can see how the enforced representation of each club might prove embarras- sing to the all-star managers, Mr. Prisch and Mr Cochrane. It would be more embarrassing still if Prisch and Cochrane weren't free to make up the best possible teams, without to votes and distribu- tion and current averages. But since they are free to do so, their teams will be pretty much the same sort of teams which lined up in New: last year, under the old ‘systemy Some Foregone Conclusiors. “HUS, Cincirnati might land Der- drivers have incorporated and will | 93N 1001 SEE | FORJESSE OWENS Limit for Present Genera- tion, Says Coach, but Negro Predicts 9.2.

BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, June 12—Jimmy Braddock regards this title | fight as the chance of a life- | ! time. Max Baer seems to | think of it as a private war between | himself and Arthur Donovan and the | New York State Boxing Commission, with Braddock occupying the minor | role of punching bag. | To John T. Doyle the bout is a cold business proposition. One guy has to win, one guy has to lose. Mr. Doyle | has to figure it out in advance. So the patriarch of Broadway price- makers is offering 5 tc 1 against Brad- dock and 1 to 6 against Baer. He is iaying even money that Braddock won't come up for the eighth round. As an added inducement to Braddock fanciers, who have been cosy with their money to date, Mr. Doyle points out | that, in the great majority of heavy- | weight title fights, the short-ender has finished ahead.

I know Jack was worried a year ago before the Carnera fight. He figured Max to win—but he wasn't quite sure what might happen if Carnera lasted 10 rounds, I asked Dempsey what he thought | of Baer's condition. “He’s in better shape than I have ever seen him before,” Jack said. “He has done enough road work to get his legs right. “That’s what I was worried about before the Carnera fight.

"WHAT was your biggest kick” I asked Dempsey, “beating’ Wil- lard, or the brawl with Pirpo?” “I think the biggest kick any fighter ever gets,” Jack said, “is the time he takes over the title. I was in a dagze for two days. The Willard fight was the biggest thrill I ever got. “There was too much happening in the Firpo fight for any one to follow. That includes both Firpo and myself. | It was like being in a runaway merry- go-round where you get too dizzy to kmow where you are or what is happening. “You know,” Jack continued, “a fight doesn’t have to go eight or ten rounds to be a great fight. 3 “My fight with PFirpo lasted just four minutes. Yet that seems to be the one they are still about. “Naturally, I think Max will win this next one—maybe early. But this may be along the lines of another Firpo whirlwind. Braddock has been training for a slugginz match. He and his sparring partners have been wading in, throwing leather in all directions. He has decided to keep crowding Baer and not let Max get set, or loaf for a while, as he did against Carnera.

But he isn't. He seems to have been reading the records, too. The records, or some- thing else, have caused him to brood, with the result that one of his trusted agents came galloping down the high road from Asbury Park today with s message of revolt. Booted and spurred, the agent strode into the office of the New York State Boxing Commission. “In the name of Max Baer and the Continental Congress,” said Ancil Hoffman (for it was he), “T request that the name of Arthur Donovan be stricken from the list of possible ref# erees for this fight.
