A—12 Devoid of Fear, Baer Is Ready to Trade Punches With Louis in Fri —By JIM BERRYMAN Win, Lose or Draw By FRANCIS E. STAN. The Boy Bandit Rides Again The mail brings a copious, mimeographed opus authored by James J. Johnston, who adds “Please release immediately.” Ob- viously Mr> Johnston, more familiarly known as the Boy Bandit, considers it a meaty subject and he may be right. Counting all the way up to 10, Author Johnston ranks the heavyweight prize- fighting contenders of the land and it must be conceded that is| taking a lot of beef into account. ‘The Boy Bandit, who is no boy at all, thinly veils a large pout as| regards the recent and at least semi-official rankings by the National | Boxing Association, Ring Magazine and other organs and bodies of people | caring enough in these times to take the trouble of weighing the merlts; of one pug against another. " judgment, pugilistically,” prefaces Mr. Johnston, “should most | assuredly be given preference over shoemakers, bartenders, part-time | managers, kibitzers and some boxing oracles, such as those suffering | from astigmatism. That vou must agree.” Thereupon Mr. Johnston pro- | ceeds to recognize Joe Louis as some kind of a fighter by naming him “King of Champions” and listing, in order, the copyrighted James J.| Johnston ratings. ~ Sometimes He Sounds Like an Elevator Peddler It comes as no surprise to see where Bob Pastor is called the No. 1/ challenger. Mr. Pastor is one of the less meaty subjects (weight, 180 pounds’, but he happens to be managed by Mr. Johnston, who could be a bit biased although he defends his choice by saying, “Pastor has met every white and colored boxer promoters select. What other fighters can eay the same, outside of Louis? He has fought 21 rounds with Louis, This is proof of his boxing skill. He has gotten up from the floor six times against Louis. This is proof of his courage.” It is barely possible that the Boy Bandit contradicts himself. He suggests that Mr. Pastor is a masterful boxer but acknowledges half a | dozen knockdowns in 21 rounds, not to mention an unmentioned knock- | out. This hardly is consistent. Being knocked to the floor on an average of every nine minutes doesn't exactly sound as if the victim was a masterful boxer. Mr. Pastor will have to content himself with the red | badge of courage | Abraham Simon, 260-odd pounds of beef, is No. 2. This also is under- | standable, Mr. Simon being the Boy Bandit's other well-punched meal | ticket. “Simon, after being floored four times, was still on his feet when they stopped his fight with Louis,” boasts Mr. Johnston. There are times when it sounds as if James J. is peddling elevators. | “Lem Franklin is No. 3.” continues Mr. Johnston. “He has chased Billy Conn. Lou Nova, Max Baer and Brother Buddy back to where they belong, into the class of doing the least for the most money.” | Why, Mr. Johnston! Sa-wish! Che Foening Stad Sporls WASHINGTON, D. C, Racing Blackouf At Sana Anita Strands Whirly Mioland, Challendon, Pictor to Seek Gold In Florida Races By the Associated Press, LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—Denied a shot at the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in March, Mioland, Chal- ledon and Pictor will try to salvage half that amount in Florida. With Santa Anita’s $1,000,000 racing season finally cancelled be- cause of war conditions, a few rich owners plan to ship their top stars to Miami, New Orleans or Hot Springs, Ark. e Charles S.

We are not familiar | with Mr. Thompson. a Negro, but will have to rely upon Mr. Johnston's judgment. Jimmy says thas he is No. 4, with Lou Nova fifth.

Only the Bandit who is no Boy calls him the “Conn Man.” “He is America’s Phil Scott,” he amplifies. “He won't box Franklin, Beckwith or Thompson, but at making fighters quit sitting in | their corners he is a champion.” Here James J, becomes a little excited. | He suggests there is only a singular corner for the plural Messrs. Beck- | with, Franklin and Thompson and adds, ungramatically, “He (Conn) refused to get up after Louis knocked him down, until the referee counted 10, that was simply marvelous.” We found it difficult to appreciate the sentence construction but we have an idea of what Mr. Johnston means. | Buddy Baer, Max Baer, Lee Savold and somebody named Johnny Shkor are Nos. 7. 8, 9 and 10, respectively. When he begins talking of Baer meat Mr. Johnston becomes absolutely vicious. He calls Buddy the “standing, sitting-down, I-surrender man. He qualifies for a return | match with Louis,” adds the so-called Boy Bandit in another wild flurry of words, “because he pushed Joe out of a ring in Washington, D. C.. who did a Jack Horner in his corner and didn't come out for the seventh round.” As for Max, he is equally unkind.” Of the group con- gisting of Nova, Conn, Buddy and Max, he says. “Now, gentlemen, here . are the fifth, sixth. seventh and eighth men within the first 10 who have quit six times in New York.” Maybe James Is Playing in the Wrong League It must be admitted that Mr. Johnston has done a good job of tear- | ing down his own racket. About the most he can say for his own bums, | Pastor and Simon, is that they bounce readily when they hit the canvas | and this may prove to be an unwise boast because any day now Leon | Henderson is liable to look into the matter and charge the Bandit with | hoarding raw rubber.

LAKEWOOD, N. J., Jan. 6. —Jacob (Buddy) Baer is a simple soul with a simple philosophy. So when he sits down for a chat and tells you, matter of factly, that he can't see what he has to worry about from Joe Louis, you have to come pretty close to believing him. He tells you this, mind vou, in a tone about as worked up and tense as a fellow asking “please put a head on my beer.” The big guy is, no more sacred than a Wake Island Marine. Buddy Is Not Afraid. This definitely is not a fighter giving his courage a shot in the arm with big talk. It's not brother | Maxie Baer. loud-talking for weeks before his big flop-eroo with Louis | and then resting on one knee shak- ing his head as the referee asked him to get up.
