SPORTS. uis” Sudden Rise Contrasts Buddy Baer’s : Promoters Set for Ring-Mat Feud Handled in Conventional Manner, Max’s Brother Still a Novice. BY SPARROW McGANN. ' EW YORK, July 11.—Joe Louis and Buddy Baer are interest- ing examples of what can be expected from heavyweights in a short time. Louis has had only two months more experience than the younger Baer in the professional prize ring. Each has had 24 fights. The difference between them is that Louis is called the “uncrowned heavy- weight champion” while Baer is a promising prospect who has yet to ap- pear in & major contest. The rapid progress of Louis refutes the rule that a big fellow requires plenty of schooling and an extended series of build-up matches before he | can be sent out against worthy com- | petitors. The Detroit bomber started off with three easy ones. Then he was sent against Buck Everett, who is ranked among the second 10 heavies in the country. The fight went the full route, 10 rounds. This meant that Joe could pace himself satisfactorily over a longer distance than the cus- | tomary three rounds of his amateur days. Vindicates His Pilots. IS seventh fight was a real test Adolph Wiater was his opponent. After several trips to the canvas, Louis came on with a rush to capture the de- | cision. His manager then decided to | shoot the works by matching him with | Stanley Poreda, Charley Massera and Lee Ramage. The last two had held their own with Steve Hamas. Managers who send a comparative novice in the pro ranks against sea- soned fighters are usually called | money-mad or crazy. Louis proved | his managers were neither by uncork- | ing the punch that was to raise him | close to the top of the heap by crush- ing Primo Carnera in his twenty- fourth professional fight. | Louis was schooled and coached properly by Jack Blackburn. Buddy Baer came under the guidance and counsel of Brother Max and Ancil Hoffman, an old hand at the game. ‘Will Buddy Baer live up to the pre- dictions made by his brother? Will he be the next heavyweight champion of the world? Is he capable of scoring & four-round knockout over Cham- pion James J. Braddock? Buddy Still Unproven. T HESE questions are being asked by those who were impressed by the magnificent figure and punching | power displayed by Buddy in his one- round knockout of Frank Wotanski in & preliminary to the Louis-Carnera bout. But Buddy cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be classed | oo with the Levinskys, Laskys, Retzlaffs or even with unknowns like Ford Smith or Eddie Hogan. Buddy's string of quick knockouts | was snapped by the veteran Babe Hunt. It was the first time he had to g0 four rounds. Since then the set- ups have been 80 poor that those who have seen many promising fighters ruined by the methods followed in the case of young Baer think more harm than good is done by such tactics. ‘There is some talk of matching Buddy with Carnera. The Italian proved in his bout with Louis that he was miscast as a fighter. He is dis- pirited and might prove an easy vic- tim of Buddy's wallop. But nothing is sure in the fighting game, and should Primo thrust his long left in Buddy's | face and discourage the youngster it | might mean the end of another prom- ising career. Some fighters mature more rspldly than others. They pick up the fine | points of the game naturally. Defense | seems to be second nature and that is | what makes a fighter—dealing out | ¢ Pro Boxer Now BOBBY GOLDSTEIN, Washington fighter, who formerly captained the University of Vire ginia fistic team and was an all- America college lightweight, will make his debut as a professional Monday night in a four-rounder on the Griffith Stadium card, headed by the Harry Dublinsky- Bobby Wilson battle. Goldstein worked out this afternoon with Dublinsky as the latter continued his training here.

Howard Stokes of Howard ! County, took a five-pound big-mouth bass, which was one of the seven he |caught. It is the largest reported s0 far this season, measuring 19 inches | in length. Capt. Aubrey Shephard, at Gunston Cove, reports that plenty of large- mouth bass are in the Cove and that | all boats are returning with from three to five of these gamesters, but none of them weighing much over one pound. He says that the majority of the bass are being landed with white buck tails and the shimmy wig- gler, and some with live bait. ‘We have heard many tales about the peculiarities of fishes—when sthey will bite, etc—but the prize story about their eccentricities was told us by our own managing editor, Oliver Owen Kuhn. Fishing last Sunday in the lower Potomac in front of his Summer home, located a short distance below Bretton's Bay, this waltonian got in his rowboat and paddled about a half mile off shore. He sat in the broiling sun for an hour without a strike. Suddenly dark clouds appeared from nowhere and the rain com- menced to fall almost as in a cloud- burst. Unable to escape the storm. Kuhn sat through it. It lasted about 20 or 30 minutes. He said the minute the rain came the fish started to bite, and that in less than half an hour he landed eight good-sized hardhead, and when the rain stopped not another strike was to be had. With water dripping from him and bubbling out of his shoes, he rowed to shore with | plenty of fresh fish for his table. HIL GOTT, head of the Trade As- soclation of the Chamber of Com- | merce of the United States, recently headed a party to the fishing grounds | oft Hooper Island Light. These an- | glers had the best time of their lives | landing 300 hardhead running from one to three pounds. Dr. Philip G. Affleck, accompanied by Fred Amberson of Pittsburgh en- gaged the services of Capt. H. E. Wood at Herring Bay for a little fishing trip off North Beach Point last Sat- urday. These two anglers did not want the boat anchored, so they drift- ed and landed 47 hardhead weighing from one to four pounds. Walter H. Dunlap of the Federal Power Commission writes as follows: “Following your advice, I took a stag party of eight to Galesville. Capt. Noah Hazzard gave us good service and all said they would like to go again, Many thanks for your information and best wishes.” “P. S. I left an | army rain coat in the boat.

Pyle, fishing late.Wednesday, landed two rockfish weighing 4 and §'5 pounds. Thursday he landed a 6- pounder, Friday one weighing 10% pounds and on Saturday, after a hard fight, landed the prize of the outing, a rockfish tipping the scales at 22 pounds. All the rock were caught just before dark. Bob reported a catch by another angler of 59 pike. Larry Fitzgerald of the Government Printing Office tells us about the good luck he has been having with the gamey rockfish off Colonial Beach. He fishes down there every week end with Capt. Dewey Parkinson, and says “we really knock 'em cold.” July 4 he and & companion, fishing in the morning from 9 to 12, landed 27 rockfish weighing from 3 to 6 pounds. Capf Parkinson recently landed 30, the big- gest 114 pounds, and on another day 29, the largest weighing 64 pounds.
