I THE BAKERSFIELD THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1940 17 cm HB BAER HUNTER BAER HIT Iy HARRY FERGUSON (United Press Sports TEKSEY CITY, N. Sept. On the chance that they may get a look at the next heavyweight champion of the world, some 30,000 customers will flock into Roosevelt Stadium tonight to see Patrick Edward Comiskey try out his deadly right-hand punch on the jaw of Alaxie Baer. Comiskey became a 7 to 5 favorite today despite the fact that he is only 19 years old, that this is his first battle against a topflight heavyweight, and that Old Man Baer can throw a fair-to-mlddUng right hand himself. But if Comiskey gets by this one, he certainly Is headed for a shot at Joe Louis' title in a bout that should be one of the groat slugging matches of all time.

There will be two former heavyweight champions in the riiiff when the pong and Jack Dempsey, who will be brought over from New York for the important job of referee. The referee is a vital factor in New Jersey fights because judges are not used in this state. If the bout goes the limit, Dempsoy will be the one who decides the winner. Baer, 31 years old and past his peak, is talking a whale of a fight. He is receiving a $30,000 guarantee tonight on the strength of a knockout he scored In this same ring recently over Tony Galcnto.

But he remains the most erratic, in-ajid-out fighter in the heavyweight ranks, and the general feeling is that if he doesn't nail young Comiskey inside oC four rounds ho will tire and lose. Baer will come In around 217 pounds and Comiskey around 211. The big question mark about Co- mmkey is his inexperience. Part of Baer's strategy in the ring Is to clown around, catch his opponent off guard and then try to belt him with a long right. The big test for the kid will be whether he can keep his head and continue to throw punches after Baer goes into the comedy act.

Champion Betty Jameson remained the favorite of most observers to retain the national women's amateur golf crown as play moved Into the quarter-final stage over the Pebble Beach course today. The sturdy, deliberate San Antonio, Texas, miss, apparently gaining momentum in her drive to capture the title a second year in a row, dominated the surviving eight after a day that brought the downfall ol! several strong challengers and the advance of a contingent of golfing surprises.

Blonde Betty met Mrs. Gregg LIfur of Los Angeles, former California state champion and a veteran tournament player. Mrs. Lifur continued to hobble around with heir ankle taped after a sprain and drew much comment from the galleries after winning her two matches yesterday.

Mc- Kcchnle, manager of tho Cincinnati Reds, said today he will not decide on his starting world series pitcher until just before the opening game. But it's safe to wager the wife's allowance it will bo either Bucky Walters or Paul Derringer.

Derringer throws curves and Walters tosses sinkers and the one who rides the bench the first day will be in the No. 2 slot. Paul was the lead-off man against the Yankees last year, losing: a heartbreaker, 2 to 1, in the ninth. Should the Yanks slip in there again, he might be given, a chance to get revenge.
