OAKLAND TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1933 WALTER JOHNSON NAMED MANAGER OF CLEVELAND AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER FIGHT BY ROUNDS I BAERS MOTHER PECKINPAUGHS REMOVAL IS By EDWARD NEIL NEW YORK, June 9. Following is the complete fight by rounds of the Baer-Schmeling fight in the Yankee Stadium last night: DEMPSEY PAYS WINNER HIGH COMPLIMENT ANNOUNCED The German shook his head and crowded back, stabbing his left to the head as Baer continued to loaf along. Again Baer was warned, this time for back-hand punching. They stood in a corner and shot short right smashes to the jaw, but Baer still loafed along, letting Schmeling force the fighting and set the pace, as the round ended. jj I II "I I Referee Donovan's warning auto-, matically gave the round to Schmeling in the scoring.

ROUND SEVEN Baer stepped in with two rights high to Schmeling's head but the German ripped back with a pair pf rights that stopped the Californian short. Again Referee Donovan caught Baer back handing and warned him as Schmeling pinned his burly feet against the ropes and smashed his body with both hands. Baer drove a long left and right to Schmeling's body but the steam seemed to be seeping from the Californian's blows. Schmeling crowded inside, drummed both hands to the body and lift4.a left hook to the chin. Baer threw both hands half heartedly to the head, lifted a right uppercut to Schmeling's jaw and crossed a fine long right to Schmeling's head but the German fought back solidly as Baer missed another long right to the head.

Baer smashed his right to the head as the round ended. ROUND EIGHT Baer had slowed down consider ably, lost some of his savagery, as he led the German off with a long left hand. Baer rinoed a loODinc left to the body and dropped a short hard right on Schmeling chin but the German slipped in close and tucked his head out of danger on Baer's chest. Baer took a hard right to the head, drove Schmeling into the ropes swinging both fists to the chin, but took two short right smashes on the chin as they came away. No matter how hard Baer seemed to nit the German, Schmeling came bor ing, back Jus hands working busily inside.

Baer flailed Schmeling's head with both hands and the crowd booed as the Californian backhanded again, twisted Schmeling around and banged him from be, hind with a left as the bell rang. ROUND NINE Schmeling's seconds changed his trunks between rounds. The Ger man, apparently as fresh as when he started, though there were swell ings around both his eyes, shuffled forward into a right hand smash to the head. Baer drove both hands to the body, then measured the German with a volley of right hand slashes to the head. Schmeling laid back against the ropes, apparently badly hurt as Baer reached him again with another booming right to the jaw, but once more Baer hurt his own game by backhandlng as the crowd booed.

Schmeling shook himself and got In close, working both hands to the body, but once more he ran Into a terrifie fusillade of short left and right jolts to the chin. Baer was punching as short as Schmeling usually did, hitting Schmeling almost at will with either hand in a neutral corner, Baer kept slugging after the bell and Schme ling waved protest to the referee as EXCITED OVER PRESENT Bv ALAN WARD Mrg. Jacob Baer, mother of the redoubtable Max, received her finest birthday present yesterday. It was a technical knockout, wrapped in tissue paper and decorated with pink and blue ribbon, performed by her "big box Max" on Max Schmeling, st i 1 heavyweight champion of the world, and delivered at the Baer residence in St. James Wood.

A couple of days ago Mrs. Baer observed the anniversary of her birth. At that time she declared the best gift possible would be a decisive victory by Max over the German. And did her curly-haired, handsome young son come through with flying colors? Well, just listen to Mrs. Baer enthuse! EVER CONFIDENT.

"I knew Maxie would do It. He's nevrr failed me yet, and I wax positive he wouldn't fall down at this time. When I sent a wire to my boy and said that I could expect no finer birthday f(t than a clean-cut victory over I was confident there was nothing more to worry about." Will Max Baer be the next heavyweight champion of the world? Silly question. Just ask Mrs. Baer.

"I've never had any doubt about Max' ability. He's served his apprenticeship, and from now on it's just a jump to the title. He'll beat either Sharkey or Camera without any trouble. Max is the greatest fighter in the world." Mrs. Baer, well attended by relatives and friends, was informed of her boy's victory by another of her sons, Buddy, lR-year-old prospective pugilist, who wades into the professional pond within a month.

The call was put through The Oak land Tribune exchange a couple of seconds after the wire flash arrived. Buddy, following the phone call erabbed a couple of Tribune extras, anrl burned the Davement in the direction of the Baer home. EVERYBODY HAfPY. Happy hysteria was the only logical description of the Baer residence after the fight. People were dropping in to offer congratula tions.

Kisses and handshakes were ns common as ducks on Lake Mer-ritt. The telephone jingled constantly. It was a New Year's eve transplanted to June. Max Bacr's kin and close friends were clustered around Mrs. Baer as news of his victory came over the wire.

There were Miss Ber-nice Baer, his sister, and of course, Buddy. Mrs. W. A. Peck of Los Angeics, aunt of the pufrillst who made a special trip from the southern city to be present for the event, was there.

August Silva, Max' foster brother, mingled with the crowd. And there were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jack-Hch and their children; Bobby Simpson: Jim Younj, fiance of Bernlce Baer, and a lot of others. RELATIVES WITH MAX.

"There are a few happy men in New York tonight." Mrs. Baer commented. "One, of course, is Max. Another is his manager, Ancil Hoffman' Then there is his father, who was sitting at ringside. Max" uncle, Ben Baer.

a Denver police officer, was right down front. An old friend of the family, Larch Trail, accompanied Mr. Baer to the big fight. I'll bet they're celebrating in good style about now." Dempsey Plans Tour With Baer NEW YORK, June 0. UP) No grass Is going 1o grow under Max Baer's feet if Jack Dempsey can help It- With the Californian's name now a sports headliner, Dempsey plans a whirlwind exhibition tour, coast to coast, starting within the next ten days.

Max Baer will box and Dempsey will referee. The combination of the "new Dempsey" and the old one is expected to draw large and profitable crowds across the country. Plans are only tentative, but Dempsey indicated today the tour might start at Buffalo, swing through the middle west and finish on the west coast. Dempsey plans to seek a match for Baer in September with the winner of the coming Sharkey-Car-nera fight. ROUND ONE Instead of crouching and rushing, the big Baer moved slowly into Schmeling and ripped a hard left hook into the head.

Encouraged, the big fellow' leaped on Schmeling and smashed him to the ropes, banging both hands to the German's body. He did it so easily the crowd leaped to its feet roared "rush' him" and Baer tore back in again. He hooked his left behind the German's head and smashed Schmeling across the ring, beating him with a free right hand. Again Baer played that trick, but this time Schmeling pulled back and smashed a terrific right to Baer'a face. The Californian grabbed the top rope for support and blood poured from his nose as he covered quickly.

Schmeling drove a right to the heart and Barr tossed a long right as the bell sounded. Schmeling was smiling confidently. ROUND TWO Schmeling was smiling as he came out and met Baer in the latter's corner. Moving in, carefully bobbing as he came. Schmeling jabbed a half do7.cn lofts to the head but Baer ripped a terrific left to the head, caught Schmeling on the ropes, and flailed him with both hands.

Left after left and right after right tore into the befuddled German's head as Baer lashed at him savagely. Schmeling pulled away and Baer grinned confidently as he stabbed at him with long lefts. Schmeling strove to find a way to get past Baer's long left but Baer piled both hands to the body, and grinned again as he pulled away. A terrific right set Schmeling up against the ropes helpless as Baer huge fist crashed through the German's jaw. Schmeling was protecting himself, covering by instinct, under Baer's furious attack as the bell sounded.

ROUND THREE Schmeling rallied quickly and rame far across the ring to meet Baer with a jabbing left hand. Baer took his light lefts cockily, laughing at the German, but Schmeling kept plugging, lifting a hard right uppercut to the head. Baer held the German with bis left and drove three hard rights under the heart, but the Tcuton'i close knit defense blocked off a half dozen more swings to the body. Schmeling bored to close quarters as Baer missed two fang rights, and rocked the Californian's head with both hands Inside. But Baer, still disdainful, pulled away, hanged a long right to the head; then ripped both hands to Schmcling's body, until the bell sounded.

ROUND FOUR Baer's defense was far more capable ihan any one had expected as Schmeling moved in and found himself smothered by the Californian's arms. They swapped lefts to the face, then each drove a terrific right to die jaw. Both stopped short, but Baer rallied quickest and smashed both hands in a storm of thudding punches to Schmellng's head. They locked heads and each tried to find an opening through the welter of the other's arms. Suddenly they swapped to the head with roaring free handed exchange that brought the crowd up shouting.

Despite the terrific punishment he had taken, Schmeling rallied strongly and drove Bncr into a corner, cuffing the Californian's head with short hooks inside as the bell call caught Baer hauling back his right for a long distance smash. ROUND FIVE The excitement was so great around the ringside that fights were breaking out in the rear pews among the customers. Apparently a bit wearied from the pace, Baer stood off and boxed as Schmeling moved constantly in on him, trying to force openings for his heavy right and short choppy left jabs. Schmeling hooked a hard left to the head and crossed a right that started his left eye closing. Baer thundered in with both hands, whipping them to the head, but Schmeling merely shook his black thatch and came doggedly back for more.

He got it as Baer held him off with a left and chopped his right short to the head. Schmeling leaned back in again, thumping both hands fn the body, but Baer reached the Teuton with a long right to the head and a left, hook to the body as the bell sounded. ROUND SIX Baer danced away, meeting Schmeling's charge with a long left that bounced from the German's eyebrows. Referee Donovan warned Baer for sneaking punches in the clinches. They swapped punches the head along the ropes and Baer almost drove Schmeling from the ring with a right high on the temple.

W'i' jiy Bv JACK DEMPSEY (As told to Edward J. Neil, Associ ated Press Sports Writer.) NEW YORK, June 9. (TV-Box ing has found in Max Baer the kind of fighter who can bring the game back to the old days the days when big men fought to knock each other out, and you couldn't find places big enough to hold every one who wanted to see it done. It seems to me that the possibil ities in this California youngster -are only starting to be uncovered. As great a puncher as Schmeling couldn hurt Baer.

And until last night I hadn't seen any one fighting today who out-wallop the German. So I believe that boxing's come- back now rests right on Baer's shoulders. He is only 24 years old, he's the biggest, strongest man fighting today, and he hits with terrible power. He might have more trouble hitting a man as clever as the champion. Jack Sharkey, and he'd certainly have trouble evading the title-holder's left hand, but that will be a fight equal to anything that has gone before in the ring, It's possible that Max Schmeling's bravery, tremendous ability to taks punishment, will be lost sight of ia view of Baer's spectacular display, cut nave never seen a mors courageous exhibition than the Ger man gave.

He was hurt front tht start, yet he never stopped trying, never stopped moving in. He's still one of the finest heavyweights I'vs ever seen. As Baer moves along, it seems natural to expect that his boxing will improve and the importance of big bouts will steady him. He has in himself the ability to become one of the great heavyweights of the ring. At least he gave me the biggest thrill I've had in ten years since the night a man named Firpo and I had an argument in the Polo Grounds.

he stumbled a bit going to his corner. ROUND TEN Baer tore out savagely in an ef-" fort to finish the German, smashing h.is right three times on Schmeling's head, but the Teuton bobbed lew, came up inside and nailed Baer right on the chin with a blow that set the Californian's nose bleeding. A volley of rights and left smashes stood Schmeling A right floored Schmeling' after a volley had punished him terrifically. Schmeling stumbled to his feet at the count of nine but he was help-, less and Daer smashed him with both hands. Referee Donovan stepped in and stopped the fight after one minute and five seconds of the tenth round, giving Baer the fight on a technical knockout.

(Men's Exclusive x) CWlf. (Men' ExchMtTe'r) CLEVELAND, June 9 (U.R) Walter Johnson, "the' big train" of baseball for many years, was named manager of the Cleveland Indians today. Johnson will succeed Roger Peck-inpauyh, whose regime has been reported frequently to be unsatisfactory to the Indians' management. The team has been losing more than half its starts of late, and dropped from first place to fifth in the American League. The election of Johnson came as a complete surprise to the experts, all of whom were picking various baseball figures for Peck's job.

The selection was announced after meeting of the board of directors of the club. With the exception of Connie Mack, Roger Perkinpaugh was the oldest big league manager in point of continuous one-club service when he was deposed. He fame to the Indians almost five and a half years ago from the same Washington Senators Walter Johnson made famous. The first hint Peck was not secure in the saddle came in May at New York, when President Alva Bradley gave the club and manager a good lecture. "The management can hire a manager," he said, "but the public decides whether, he will be fired." Johnson was reported ready to leave his home near Washington tonight, and arrive tomorrow to take charge of the team Sunday.

It was understood he signed a contract for the rest of this season and all of next year. Brubaker Plans New Oak Lineup In Night Clash T5v EDDIE MirRPHY San Francisco's Seals landed on three Oakland hurlers for a 13 to .1 victory and a 2 to 1 lead on the scries yesterday. Bill Ludolph, who was nicked for six runs and received official credit for the defeat, together with Lou McEvoy and Clarence Fieber paraded be fore the Seals to be picked for IS hits. Nine hits were made off Ludolph before McEvoy relieved him, while Davis, Seal hurler, allowed only two hits in the first five innings, after which Oakland bunched three Mngles for its first run, which Veltman drove in with a single. Manager Pay Brubaker announced he will change his lineup for tonight's game at the local park.

Frenchie Uhalt, bothered with a lame ankle, will give way in rerter field to Mailho. with Pete Scott in the left pasture and Har- i Pool in right, while Jules Wera, who returned to the lineup yesterday, will play third.
