25 (A) The Atlanta Crackers were one up on New Orleans today in their championship series for the- Southern Association baseball crown. Behind the effective hurling of Young Bud Thomas, the Crackers took a 4 to 1 decision from the Pelicans here last night in the opening game of the final round of the Shaughnessy playoff. A crowd of 8,763 saw the Pels held scoreless for eight innings while Atlanta although outhit, took advantage of New Orleans mlsplays to run up an early lead. The second game of the series will be played here at 8:15 tonight, and Manager Larry Gilbert of the Pels is counting on his ace left hander, A1 Milnar, to even the standings. During the regular season Milnar set a Southern Association record with 17 consecutive victories.

He has a wide assortment of curves and a good fast ball. Eddie Moore, Cracker manager, said he would use eithhe the veteran Harry Kelly or Bobby Durham on the mound. Durham was credited with two of the three victories by which Atlanta eliminated Nashville in the preliminary playoff. In last nights opener Bud Thomas yielded eight hits but kept them so well scattered that no Pelican player got beyond third until the ninth when two hits, a walk and an infield out produced New Orleans lone tally. The Crackers scored twice in the first ining and added another pair in the fourth.

Del Wetherell then relieved Bill Thomas on the mound for the Pels and held the Atlantans in check the rest of the way. The winner of the five-game playoff will represent the Southern Association against Oklahoma City of the Txas League in the Dixie series.

A. Meet Former Champion Helpless Before Attack Of Detroit Negro Scrapper Last Night BY ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 25 It looks like a non-stop flight to the top of the pugilistic heap for the Brown Bomber. There remained today not the slightest doubt of the two-fisted greatness of Joe Louis, least of all In the minds of upward of 90,000 onlookers who saw the 21-year-old Detroit negro on his bridal evening mow down the once magnificent Max Baer with a punching blast as deadly as machine gun fire. Mercilessly, methodically, never wasting a blow and rarely slackening a punching pace that has had few equals In heavyweight history, Louis knocked out the former champion In the fourth round of a 15-round match that revived all the glamour of the prize ring in a near million dollar spectacle at the Yankee Stadium.

Baer not only was completely outclassed but made the fatal mistake of trying to box Louis. He was knocked down three times, twice in the third round, where the bell saved him as he sat blinking on the floor. He was counted out while swaying on one knee near the end of the fourth round. It was the greatest heavyweight show but also one of the most one-sided, top-flight heavyweight matches since the famous Tex Rickard died and the great Jack Dempsey retired. In 11 minutes and 50 seconds the youthful negro punched Baer Into a bloody, senseless wreck; a battered figure still trying to muster the pretense of his once marvelous powers of resistance, fading out of the picture in defeat with magnificent gestures of futility.

It seemed that Louis must have hit Baer nearly 500 times with as vicious a two-handed onslaught as any first-class heavyweight has absorbed since Dempsey slaughtered Jess Willard at Toledo in 1919 or hammered down Louis Angel Firpo at the Polo Grounds in 1923. It was, in the words of a late critic of the fight business, modified murder In every sense of the word; a killing so devastating and complete as to leave not a single question for dispute. On his honeymoon today, upward of $200,000 richer, and taking it all with the same coolness that characterizes his amazing ring workmanship, Joe Louis seemingly has no worries about a pugilistic future that contemporary word artists are painting in the gaudiest possible hues. The Brown Bomber's 25th consecutive victory and his 21st knockout since he turned professional scarcely 14 months ago capped the climax of the most spectacular march since Dempsey waded through all opposition to the world Championship. The Max Baer-Joe Louis fight round by round follows: Round One Baer came slowly from his corner, hunched in a half crouch, and Louis stabbed his face lightly a half dozen times with lefts.

Louis missed a left hook to the body and Baer ripped into him savagely with a right to the head. They locked in a clinch, both cold and deadly, and pawed carefully at each other. His face never changing, Louis flicked a stream of lefts into Baers forehead, hooked a hard left to the head then smashed Baers chin with both hands on the ropes. A right to the head brought blood trickling from Baers nose and he forged in desperately, missing a long wild right. Baer opened up with a savage attack but Louis survived the storm and drove Max into a corner where he hammered his head unmercifully.

Baer reeled in the corner. Pinned there and Louis hammered him savagely up to the bell. Blood covering his face, Baer slapped disdainfully at the negro as he walked to his seat. Louis round. Round Tvo Again' Baer came up slowly, pawing with his left and Louis snapped a left hook into his face.

Baer crouched low as the calm negro stalked him and blood was trickling again from Maxs nose. They boxed carefully in midring and suddenly Louis smashed Baer mto a corner with three tremendous rights to the chin. Baer grinned foolishly, utterly unable to solve Joes attack as the negro nailed him first with a left hook, and another right to the Jaw on the ropes. Baers face was crimson from a stream of Louis left jabs. Joe whipped a left hook into the body, a smooth moving chocolate machine, then belted the big white man mto the ropes with another right to the head.

They cuffed at close quarters blood from Baers face crimsoning the brown mans shoulders, and Just as the bell sounded, Baer whipped a terrific right to the negros head. The negro faltered for a second on the ropes and Baer lashed him furiously with both hands keeping it up after the bell until Referee Donovan pulled him away. Louis round. Round Three With fresh energy Baer, pawed at the negros head with his left, but Joe stabbed steadily, flicking Baers face with left jabs. Louis thudded a left book on Baers chin, but Max, gaining confidence, roughed Louis in a clinch, belting his head with both hands.

Louis shot a clean right hard to the Jaw, and poured a volley of left hooks Into the side of the former champions head. Baer took his lacing magnificently, stalking after the negro, as Louis moved around the ring, lashing his face with lefts. Grinning through a bloody mask, Baer ripped a left hook Into Louis head, but the negro pinned him on the ropes and knocked him down with a barrage of left hooks. Baer came up at nine. He went down again under another olley of left hooks but the bell saved him at the count of four.

Dempsey ran out, dragged the bloodied white man to his corner and they sought desperately to restore him. Louis round. Round Four Baer came out haltingly and Louis stalked him like a panther after stricken The title held by the ex-stevedore, James J. Braddock, is Louis' goal, but it probably will be a year before he gets the chance to claim it for his race for the first time since Jack Johnson ruled the fistic heights. A match with Max Schmeling, the German who once wore the heavyweight crown, is the next major goal for the brilliant negro.

Promoter Mike Jacobs, heir to Rickard's mantle, said he plans to match Louis and Schmeling for a 15-round fight at either of New York's big ball parks next June, the winner to box Braddock for the title in September. Louis told me he wants to fight es often as possible, said Jacobs, who already has the negro under contract for two more years with an option on his fighting services until 1940. He says that getting married now also means he will have to keep busy but it's going to be tough finding opponents. Unless some young fighter develops sufficiently during the winter to earn a match with Louis, it looks like he may have to wait until he meets Schmeling in the spring. For those who saw Louis crush Baer, there isnt the slightest doubt that the Chocolate Soldier can and will whip Schmeling and then take the gallant Braddock.

The simple, indisputable fact is that there is no outstanding heavyweight who figures to go the route under the Bombers barrage. Baer was to provide the big test, demonstrate whether Louis could "take it and make the going tougher for Louis than all the other fighters he has met combined. Max may have had fury in his heart, but there was no dynamite in his fists. Instead of setting a whirlwind pace, he came out cautiously. Instead of slugging, he tried to box as masterful a young boxer as the ring has developed in a generation.

He absorbed, as he said he would, all that Louis could throw at him, but even concrete can resist T. N. only for a brief time. After taking a terrific lacing for two rounds, Baer crumpled under the negros two-fisted fire and sagged slowly to the floor for the first time midway in the third round. The blood through which he had grinned insolently, disdainfully in earlier melees, dripped from his face, now a grotesque mask.

As he squatted, the curly-haired Californian managed another smile, and with the instinct of a great showman that he has always been, waved to the crowd that was on its feet, yelling for the kill. It was a characteristic Baer gesture, a magnificent touch from a warrior who knew the end was coming. Eyes bleary, Baer staggered to his feet at the count of nine. He met another withering blast, backed into the ropes. then swayed and toppled again.

He was saved this time by the bell, at the count of four. Frantically Jack Dempsey and other Athletic Director R. L. Browne of Southwestern Louisiana Institute will leave during the week-end for Jackson, Mississippi, where he will attend a meeting of the executive committee of the S. I.

A. A. Director Browne is back from New Orleans where he was present at a meeting of the Southern A. A. U.

meeting. He stated today that one of the steps taken at this meeting was adoption of a resolution, voted unanimously, opposing participation by the United States in the Olympic Games in Germany. This move, he added, was based on the actions which the Hitler government has taken against Catholics and Jews and in same instances Protestants. The New York Giants pro football team has the signed contracts of 35 players. Officials still are looking for more material I KNOX 7 Famous Vagabond SOFTBALL game.

He stabbed Baers head with his long lefts, twice hooked Baers chin with the lefts. He was setting Max up for the kill. A left sank deep in Maxs body and he stumbled back. Another left and right bent him at the middle. A left and right to the chin rocked Max and as he leaned back against the ropes he threw his first punch of the round, a light right to the head.

Max backed into another corner, blood dribbling down his lips and Referee Ponovan warned him for backhandlng. Louis was coldly deliberate as he flung a left hook into Baer's head, then mashed his mouth up with a biting volley of left Jabs, Louis missed a long right and they fell into a clinch. A long right floored Baer. He sank to his knees, dropped his hands to the canvas and stayed there helpless as Referee Donovan counted him out, a knockout victim in two minutes and 50 seconds after the start of the-fourth. Louisiana Public Utilities defeated the Lafayette Steam Laundry club in a 10-lnning thriller, 15-14.

Stansburys home run in the first half of the 10th inning decided the contest. G. Reaux, of the Steam Laundry team, had a perfect day at bat, getting two triples and three singles in five times at bat. Stansbury led the L. P.

Side Glances By George Clark handers told the battered former champion to keep punching, but the old tire was gone. Max knew it and so did everyone else. Louis, still in no great hurry, methodi-1 cafly stalked his man, shifting his crushing left hooks to the body, blows that wiped the last vestiges of a grin from Baers bruised, bleeding face.

Once Max flicked a back-handed blow to the Bombers face. The referee admonished him but it was unimportant. Soon Louis in again, smashing two lefts to the head, then a right that put Baer down for the last time. Maxs eyes blinked. He was on one knee, swaying a bit.

He didnt hear the count and he didnt seem to care. He was still swaying when Referee Arthur Donovan swung his arm down for the tenth time. Baer was out for the first time in his career, in every sense of the word. All told, Baer didnt land a half doaen solid blows. His announcement afterward that he is through with the ring came as no shock to those who witnessed the failure of his attempted comeback.

The young Detroit negro became a benedict two hours before his bout with Max Baer last night, marrying Marva Trotter of Chicago in a Harlem apartment. A noisy throng of more than 1,000 negroes waited in front of the place. W. C. Trotter, brother of the bride, was the minister who performed the ceremony.

The bride wore a dress of white satin and was attended by her sister. Novella. She was nervous. John Roxborough, one of Louis managers, was best man. A license was sent to the apartment because the Municipal building was closed.
