Show SCHMELING TO FIGHT BAER POMPTON LAKES, N. J. i.iax Schmeling, German Heavyweight Heavy-weight who once wore the title crown, signed articles yesterday to meet Max Baer in a 12-round bout in Los Angeles some time in April. It was Baer who stopped Hen; Schmcling's comeback attempt last June when the Livermore Larruper stopped the German in the tenth round of their scheduled 15-round affair with a technical knockout. Since leading with his chin that time Schmeling is of the opinion that he can reverse the order of things in another bout. Schmeling was a heavy favorite to win that bout last year and when Baer's heavy right crashed into the former champion's chin twice to floor him for the count of nine, even Baer's backers gasped. gasp-ed. Since them, however, most of Baer's training has been done on the dance floor, in the night club? and sparring around with pretty girls in musical shows. |
