NOT TILL SUMMER

MAX BAER'S NEXT FIGHT f

Keasons why Max Baer's decision not to fight again until the next American summer is justified are given by Daniel M. Daniel in "The Piag." lii tho first place, he- writes,'the game is boing buoyed ap and is still getting the pleasant impetus that started with the Baer victory over Camera. A fight with any of tho so-called contenders at this time would be in the nature of an anti-climax.

And then there is the fact that it is hard to pick a man to fight Baer. The stage is set for an elimination tournament between Camera, Steve- Hamas, Art Lasky, Tommy LougliTan, Max Schmeling, aud others. Of course, fcli<» managers of these fighters may prefer to ignore an elimination process and take their chances on a title match with Baer. Will the managers once more kill tho goose that lays the golden, eggs?

In the past, ring practice gay© the beaten champion the moral advantage for tho next match. Jack Dempsey kicked that ancient custom in the face after the Jess Willard fight in Toledo, and a new codo seems to have been developed in the heavyweight division. Dompsey, with or without plaster of paris bandages, gave Willard so terrific a beating that.there was no real call for a return fight. At present Camera could be placed in the same category: as Willarcl. . ' '
