Max Baer and Lou Nova will fight 12 rounds or less tonight to see which pets a September shot at Joe Louis' hevyweight champion-ship. As the greatest vocal struggle since the Lincoln-Douglas debates de-bates draws towards a climax Nova is favored at odds of 8 to 5. He gets the edge on strength of a marathon oration he has been delivering on his secret weapon which he'.calls "the cosmic cos-mic punch." Just what the cosmic cos-mic punch Is nobody knows, and please don't ask Nova or he is liable to tell you in 23,000 well chosen words. , Baer, never addicted to tersne!,s, has adoptei the strategy of sticking to one subert in thi eonversationaJ conflict. It Is his favorite topic and after all thewe years It Is almost as famous as Bryan's cross of gold speech "the great Max Baer and how I get that way." But even after he had loosed a conversational torrent, Baer found himself 47 adjectives and 26 parttcipal clauses behind Nova, so he , go:s Into the ring the underdog. under-dog. Fortunately, the rules of the New York boxing commission proved that fighters must wear mouthpieces, mouth-pieces, so there may be moments this evening" when tha boys will get their teeth tangled in the mouthpieces and have to do a little fighting out of sheer ennui. Eighteen thousand persons may pay more than ?80,000 -t to see the big boys go. Baer. an in-and-outer who looks brilliant one night and bummLsh the next, claims to be in the best condition cf his career. .Nova, out of competition for a year because of a blood infection infec-tion that almost cost him his life, has had only one important fight since he started his comeback.. come-back.. That was a 10-round decision de-cision over Young Pat-Comiskey. a Greek kid whom Baer belted out in less than one round. All indications are that this will be the heaviest betting fight of tlie year. Baer still has thousands nf -supporters despite what happened hap-pened to him on a June evening in 1939. That was the occasion of his first fight with Nova. On that evening Lou smacked Baer on the jaw and left a deep cut inside the lip that incapacitated Maxie DILLY conn TO FACE DARLUfID CHICAGO, April 4 U.P) Billy Conn manes another swing tonight to-night along the trail of other great "Hine men" Fitzsimmons, Corbett and Jack "Dempsey by spotting rugged Gunnar Barlund nearly 20 pounds in a 12-round qualifying bout for a shot at Joe Louis next June. Not long out of the light heavyweight heavy-weight division, the Pittsburgh Irishman was a 7 to 1 favorite to extend his three-year winning streak to IS. although his opponent oppon-ent is by far the best of the natural-sized heavyweights he has trained on for his big moment with Louis. Vood Lead, In Masters Golf Meet AUGUSTA, Ga., April 4 U.R A' margin of five strokes is the biggest lead ever piled up in the masters' golf championship. But this lead, held today by Craig Wood of Mamaroneck, N. Y., may evaporate faster than a bottle of Scotch at the 19th hole. For Wood is known as ' one of the mobt notorius "hot and cold" golfers in the his six under par 66 for the first 18 holes of this tournament of golfing masters was described by Bobby Jones as "the finest round of golf ever played," over the difficult Augusta national course. Wood "had five strokes to spare over Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lawson Little and Willie Goggin, whose 71 scores were the only other sut- par card3 turned in by the iu-man starting field. Bobby Jones' four over par 76 left him 10 strokes off the pace and trailing 25 other golfers. His round did not cause the bookies to lessen their 50-1 odds against him. A stroke behind the quarter at 71 were Felix Serafin and Harry Cooper at par 62; Sam Byrd, Ed Dudley, Johnny Bulla, Clayton Heafner, Tony Manero, Toney Penna, Jack Ryan, Sam Snead and Jimmy Thomson at 73.
