NEIL. NEW YORK, May 3 W-The super-dreadnaught of the sockers, Primo Camera, met Max Baer, his glittering challenger, socially today for the last time before their heavyweight title tussle on June 14, and the honors rest until then with the huge Italian champion. The occasion wag the formal signing for the fifteen-round match in the Madison Square Garden bowl on Long Island and the boys gathered eagerly for the belated ceremony, hoping for physical fireworks after the verbal lambasting the pair have been giving each other for the past few days. Baer, picture of well-dressed man, was waiting in the Garden nant chase by defeating the St. Taul Apostles in the opener of the series at Perry Stadium yestei'day afternoon by a score of 5 to 3.

Lefty Logan was on the firing- line for the Redskins and held the Northmen to six hits, each of which came in separate innings. He was opposed by Myles Thomas and Gene n- 1. 1 1 which were two-ply pokes smacker. 4flli With i Uift. nf it.

A sparking oaten in deep center by Cooney, with his bark to the ball in the eighth off Fenner's bat with two men on the paths at the time prevented the Saints from making extra innings possible.

McCuen or McNamara will twirl for the Greyhounds. Club as the champion heaved his great bulk into the picture. Camera marched straight to him, showing all his ivory in a toothy smile, and grabbed the challenger's fist in one of the mightiest handshakes in fistic history. Baer Gives Sour Reply. "How you feel?" bellowed Primo, putting all his 275 pounds into his grip.

Baer winced and bent slightly. "I'll feel better June 14," he admitted sourly. Maximilian recovered in time to bust up the orderly procedure of the filming of the occasion by announcing in the middle of a couple of rehearsed speeches that there was no maybe about the situation, that he was the next heavyweight champion and that was that. But it was obvious his day was ruined, that for the rest of the afternoon he was trying to make up lost ground. While Camera has decided definitely that he will train at Pompton Lakes, N.

officials at Asbury Park, N. announced today that Ancil Hoffman, manager of the chal lenger, had decided to pitch camp there instead of Atlantic City. No formal announcement is likely, however, until Jack Dempsey, who will have much to say about Baer's training, arrives here next week. To See Loughran Bout. Both Camera and Baer will see Tommy Loughran, still holding on as a title challenger, fight against the bid of Walter Neusel, the blond German, in a ten-round bout in the Gar-, den tomorrow night, first match there since the big arena shifted into the control of Col.

John S. Hammond, one of Tex Rickard's earliest associates. While the odds against the gallant Loughran are quoted at 8 to 5, both Camera and Baer believe he will win. Loughran lost a fifteen-round decision to the champion in Miami in February, and Baer took the worst beating of his career at Tommy's hands here several years ago. "Loughran will blind the Dutchman," said Baer.

"He pokes left hands into your face until you begin to think some one's trying to smother you with a leather blanket. I'd like to know as much as that fellow's forgotten about boxing." Won. Lost. Pel. .780 MlnnraMlH It INDIANAPOLIS city i .800 .402 1 .482 .462 .308 I Columbus MIIaukN II Ml.

TFXH FRESHMEN WIN. Tech freshmen defeated the South-port High School yearlings, 65 1-3 to 2-3, in a track meet at the Cardinal field yesterday. SPEEDWAY PHIL (RED) SHAFER, who has traveled more miles in competition over the Speedway bricks than any other active driver, made his first appearance at the track yesterday afternoon, breaking in one of his entries for this year's 500-miler. 4 It was the car which Shafer completed late last year and made an eleventh-hour attempt to qualify in the damp last minutes of the last day of the speed trials. Phil pulled up before completing the first run when a heavy shower swept the course and sent his car over the bricks again at dawn the next morning.

However, a protest pushed him out of the starting list. Shafer has not selected a driver for his second car this year, but Al Miller, who has driven a Hudson for the last few years, is making a bid for it. Stubby Stubblefield, who drove for the red-thatched boy last year, seems destined to be up on one of the two Cummins-Diesel oil-burn ing cars this year. Shafer's record run of 3,627 miles in starts in the Decoration Day contest is exceeded only by Ralph de Palma, Ralph Mulford and Eddie Hearne. 4 "Deacon'' Litz, heavy-footed giant from Duboise, and constant challenger, arrived in town yesterday to prepare his car for the long grind.

Litz was the first to enter this year, nominating his job early in December. He has had five starts at Indianapolis and led the 1928 race for many miles before mechanical trouble sent him to the pits. Weighing 285 pounds, he is one of the heaviest drivers in big time racing. Paul Butler, Indianapolis boy, and former taxi-driver, is back from a KENDALLVILLE SIGNS IVEY AS CAGE COACH al 1o The Inrlinnapolis Sar. ROCHESTER.

May 3 Charles R. Ivey announced today that he has signed a contract to be athletic director and basketball coach at Kendallville High School for the 1934-35 season. He will succeed O. O. Guyman as athletic director and Roy Trich as coach.

Mr. Ivey is a graduate of Rochester High School and Earlham College. He was a star athlete in both schools. For several years he coached high school basketball at Rochester and Bedford, many of his teams winning their way to the state tourney. Mr.

Ivey resigned at Bedford in 1933. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Ivey, live here. Indiana Central Track Team Meets Thinlies Indiana Central trackmen will oppose the Central Y.

Cooney scored on the next play from third, however when Bluege Juggled Cotelle's grounder just enough for the runner to reach first by a step for the only error of the matinee. Todt hit for the circuit over the right field wall with two away in the fourth and then the Indians got to Thomas for three markers in their turn.

These came on a triple by Wingard and singles by Bedore, Sherlock and Lee. Doubles by Cotel and Bedore accounted for the other local tally in the fifth. The game in figures: INDIANAPOLIS.

John F. Davis, attending phy sician, advised the club officials that an immediate operation probably was not necessary. He decided, how ever, to retain Jurges at the hos pital for twenty-four or forty-eight" hours for further examination. To compensate for Jurges's absence, Capt. Woody English was shifted from third to shortstop and Augie Galan, flashy rookie from San Francisco, was placed at third.

THIL WINS DECISION WITH ROUSING FINISH PARIS, May 3. (TJ.P.) Marcel Thil, French veteran, tonight retained his claims to the world middleweight boxing championship by winning a fifteen-round decision over Al Roth of Belgium at Jeff Dickson's Palais des Sports. Thil, who is recognized as champion by the International Boxing Federation, thrilled the record cro'ci of 21,000 persons with a smashing rally in the closing rounds. The gate exceded 1,000,000 francs. The clever Belgian outboxed the semibald Thil in the early rounds and was leading at the tenth, when Thil opened up with his battering attack to body and head, driving Roth about the ring and stunning him several times.

Roth's jabs opened cuts over Thil'f. eyes in the fourth and he bled freely during most of the remaining rounds. Thil won eight rounds, Roth six and one was even. Thil weighed 1574 pounds and Rnth 157 1-3. The champion was the 7-to-5 favorite.

M. GAHAGAN, season out at Josedale Estates, where he is in the stud with Peter Lincoln (3), and Grattan Mc-Kinney, 2 :04. There are few faster Juveniles in history than the fleet son of Mr. McElwyn, and his blood lines and superb makeup are contributing factors to the popularity which he has gained already. While Peter Lincoln, on account of his acquired fame as a sire, must be regarded properly as the head of the stud at Josedale, there is little doubt that many owners are inclined to try the McElwyn cross.

WIN GRID POSITIONS IN SPRING PRACTICE As a result of their good showing in the first week of spring football practice at Washington High School, Buckrop, quarterback; Ewing, left half; Britain, right half, and Hatfield, fullback, loom as the Continentals' varsity ball-carriers next fall. Buckrop is the only back fleld man returning from the 1933 varsity. Other veterans in the squad of forty are Capt. Emrich, tackle; Yovanovich, end, and Flack and Mel-vin, guards.

Homer Cornell, former Shortridge athlete, is in charge of the event.

The meet also will determine the Indianapolis team to compete in the state carnival here June 17. AL STILLMAN LOSES. ST. LOUIS, May Clyde Chastain, City light heavyweight, decisively outpointed Al Stillman of St. Louis in a ten-round bout here tonight.

Chastain weighed 174, Stillman 171. Except for the first two rounds, Chastain had all the better of the milling and had Stillman on the verge of a knockout several times. Tigers force ui to use a relief pitcher. "I think that would be the best spot for Bob's return. Nine innings might be a bit too much for him just now, but both of us agree that a few doses of relief work will tell the story.

He has never been in better shape, physically and mentally, and when he tells me he wants to go in, then in he goes." Hard work, plus the extraction of several teeth, have removed the soreness from the muscles that Grove uses when he opens up with his famed fire balls. "Lefty" believes that the teeth were responsible for his troubles in the training camp. Bedore, If lxKan, Bulen. I-ee.
