It was a massacre from the start Louis smothered the puzzled German with fists and had him on the canvas almost as soon as the fight started. He clubbed him down twice more before the fight was stopped. The kidney punch which Max said disabled him and which necessitated his having hospital treatment afterward for a broken vertebra was delivered after Louis had rocked Max with blows to the head. S200,000 a Minute Louis had the distinction of being the only champion in history to knock out an opponent before the first round was over. He also set a new world's record for earnings.

Promoters will probably 'look In vain for anyone In the present crop of heavyweights sufficiently bandy with his fists to relieve Joe of his crown. Only three fighters of today would stand an outside chance: Max Baer, who rehabilitated his e reputation as a performer when be fought Tommy Farr recently; Tony Galento, who has been called the "human punching bag; and Gunnar Barlund, the doughty Swede, who stopped Buddy Baer just when that young man seemed beaded toward a ring career. Max is scheduled to meet Joe in September for a crack at the title How much of a fight Max would be able to make against the champion is extremely problematical. The Baer who knocked out Schmeling. Camera and others would make a blg-tlm- good showing. But the Baer who lost to Brad-docand Louis wouldn't stand the Max Baer's ghost of a show. chances for future success depend on his physical condition and on his mental state. He can beat lighters he thinks he can beat, if he is in In or out of condition he condition would be a pushover for Louis unless he conquered the jitters that had him shaking just before his prtvkus tight with Louis. k Night Clubs Out Baer claims he is in cond.tion and that he will train faithfully and this seems to be borne out by the facts He has cut out the night club stuff since his marriage and the bird of his son. His decisive vic-toover Tommy Farr of England, ry more decisive than Louii scored over Farr, indicates he is telling the truth. He is only twenty-ninyears old. When he's right he can hit hard enough to knock anybody e out. If Max can't stop Louis and the odds are that he wont, then Galenic and Barlund sre all that stand In the way.
