Everybody wants to see both assassinated, with the result that upward of 12,000 ruffled and indignant citizens will view the event with mingled feelings. The best they'll be able to do is to be for the guy who's not on the ground.

First Since Braddock Bout. It will be first in public since the night he refused handshake and aimed a petulant kick at his own water bucket, thus bringing down upon his head the ire of all rightthink- ing lovers of fair play, or something. It will be first since that obstreperous evening, almost two years ago, when he finished in front of Louis in a somewhat eccentric sprawl, kneeling there as though in prayer. He was quite conscious, a fact which stirred some of our more blood-thirsty critics to extreme and apparently enuring anger. They thought, and still think, that the only way a man can decently lose around here is to end up in a shroud.

Sensible. But Punishing. As a matter of plain fact, Baer was hit that night with punches the like of which for one, never want to see again. It finally became almost too much for the eye to tolerate and when, presently, he sank to his knees, it seemed that in a life time of simpering antics he at last had done a sensible and quite reasonable thing. But, seemingly, the onus will never wear off.

will be the second meeting between this pair, Farr having won the first in London a year ago, and in the background, the promotion is building up the illusion of a return meeting for the winner with Louis for the heavyweight championship. In that case, it had better not be Baer, who, in all likelihood, would thereupon find himself unavoidably detained out of town. For as far as concerned, that Louis licking will never wear off, either. Farr at Long Odds. The betting odds this morning say that it be Baer, however, the price being quoted as 9-5 favor of Farr, which probably is pretty much as it should be.

The Welsh miner got a punch that would make a fedora out of your derby, but fast, young and right shifty, can over you like a fresco and, besides, he'll have Joe Gould, old manager, right under the ropes to tell him what to do. Joseph ought to know. Braddock, in fact, did it for every minute of 15 amazing rounds after being 10-1 in the betting and, having once seen it done, one realized how simple it wa.s. The routine is to move constantly to the right, meantime popping Baer on the profile with a left jab, and every time the latter winds up his matinee punch, you move swiftly inside and let it fly over your haircut. However, in case you move swiftly inside, complications very shortly set in.

In fact, if the punch blow your brains out, you just anything to worry about. You also just haven any brains. a new deal in Nebraska high school basketball circles.
