Tiger back-field ace may not be at his best HURTS TOE trouble is the big toe on his left foot which he injured in a workout At last reports it was sore enough to make the triplethreat man limp Coach Georgs (Spud) Murphy however believes Dry will be able to start Harry Morgtson and George Gould fleet backs and Gene Metzger quarter will be running mates Murphy said There will be one change in the line Fred Falk starting at guard In place of Red Moran The Tigers were strengthened today by the return from Seattle of Art (Gunboat) Hartjes huge fullback Hartjes is particularly effective in backing np the line and will move in for Dry if the injury proves too trouble- some Dr Gardner has a young and ambitious squad of four full teams and may try to wear the Tigers down with strings of

(JP) The rise of one Important big league Iigure and the fall of another fur- That would mean Chicago would nished the hitting high spots of the By Edward Neil SPECULATOR Sept 21 plenty ol verbal bat tling going on about it but Max Baer was determined today to take another leaf from the book of Gene Tunney the man who never overlooked a bet and fly down to fight Joe Louis in the Yankee stadium Tuesday night Tunney who first made this tiny Adirondack town a fight camp flew from here in a seaplane to the last championship defense of his career against Tom Heeney in New York in 1928 He also flew from Stroudsburg in the Pocono mountains to Philadelphia for his title triumph over Jack Dempsey in the rain of the Sesqul-centennial stadium in 1926 TO UPSET FOE Gene said then that flying was a gesture to upset Dempsey who was so harassed by that time that he care if Tunney came afoot or on horseback Not until after Gene had retired was the reason for the flights during which Tunney was violently airsick revealed It seems that Gene had sound medical advice to back his air jaunt The altitude at Speculator is about 2000 feet above sea level The air naturally is more rarefied than at sea level where the fight will take place There is less oxygen in the air in the mountains So doctors told him that during his training his body would accustom itself to the rarefied atmosphere that when he1 went down to sea level the increased percentage of oxygen in the air would act like a supercharger on an automobile For 12 hours the increased oxygen would act as a stimulant After that a mild reaction sets in Baer knows that and is deter' mined to fly to the fight just as Tunney did but Mike Jacobs promoting what looks like the first $1000000 prize fight in New York in eight years is as violently opposed as Tex Rickard was when Gene broached the subject But Mike apparently will have no better success than Rickard did planned to send after you is in the workshop stop No can use stop Suggest take Ja' cobs wired Baer Max wants to fly like to fly in the best but more than that he wants his way a flying junk shop resting on the lake he Informed Jacobs bother about plane in workshop Will come down in this ASSURED OF PLANE This assured Baer of flying to New York in the finest safest most palatial ship Jacobs can beg borrow steal or even hire better not think kidding Max said today coming by air and not leaving here untU Tuesday He has more reasons for wishing to stay here as long as possible He wants to sleep the night before the fight that means his future in the bed to which he is accustomed He hates the thought of a long automobile ride 250 miles to New York with the necessity of another workout to iron the kinks from his legs He dreads taking a train which means a sleeper or a long day ride Probably more than anything else he hates the thought of being cooped up in a hotel room In New York for 24 hours unable to go out because of crowds unable to entertain because of the'- fight coming on not allowed to see anyone Idaho All Tars Team Mix Tonight California team Mexico is expected to dely on speed and an aerial game devised by Howell whose
