MOMENTOUS DECISION REACHED CHINA'S PARTICIPATION AT THE WORLD OLYMPIC GAMES IN BERLIN IN 1936 AND THE DAVIS CUP TOURNAMENTS AS FROM NEXT YEAR WERE DECIDED UPON BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NA- TIONAL AMATEUR ATHLETIC FEDERATION AT ITS EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEET- ING HELD IN NANKING RECENTLY.

The board upheld the delegates' with- drawal from the Olympic Council when Japan sought to introduce Manchukuo as member of the international athletic meeting.
The Board also decided that as far as China is concerned. the Far Eastern Olympic Council is still existing and prepare- tions will be made as usual for the next gathering to be held in Shanghai.

TO FAME TOLD IN PICTURE FORM
Born in Omaha, Neb. on February 11, 1909, Max Baer wan reared on the sunny slopes of the Pacific, giving California the right to claim him as her own won. Of Jewish-American stock, Max comes from an enthusiastic boxing family. He is shown, left, giving "Pop" Baer a dutiful embrace, while his brother, Buddy, also a boxer, follows salt. In 1929, Max made his debut in California slugging zircles, becoming known as a big, fast, rame fellow with a deadening wallop, and a speciality of knockouts, administered in a brief, Ughtning manner. Setting a merry pace in his ring encounters, Max broke into national prominence in August, 1930, when he knocked out Meyer "K.0" Christner in the second round of their bout at Oakland. Baer, ple tured after winning the battle, was regarded then as one of the most promising of young heavyweights, sports writers halling him-as the next champion. Tragedy entered his
career just two weeks after his encounter with Stribling when Frankie Campbell collapsed in the fifth round of his 8ght with Max, and subsequently died. Max, however, was freed of manslaughter-
charges.

Publicity resulting from Baer's fight with Campbell brought offers from promoters to fight in the east, nd Max responded. Fans were disap: pointed when he lost a ten-round decision to Ernie Schaaf, in New York City, upper left, but were pleased when h stopped Tom Heeney, lower left, in three rounds. Then he tackled and was beaten by Tommy Loughran, right, in ten rounds. Seeing possibilities in the young fighter that few others were able to see, Jack Dempsey, former champion, became interested in Max after th Loughran affair, and took him under his wing: Dempsey's ideal always has been a speedy, aledge-hammer puncher, and he knew Baer could hit. He arranged a fight between Baer and Panling Useudun at Reno, Nev., a scene of which is above, but Bagr lost in twenty rounds. But, despite this defeat, and the one administered Max by Risko at Cleveland, Dempsey con tinued to maintain his confidence in is protege.
Although he lost the fight, Baer won x wife, marrying the former Dorothy Danbar in Reno a short time after the battle, The Baers who were divorced last October, are pictured in a loving embrace. Staging a comeback after the Faulino affair, Baer averged an early defeat by whipping Ernie Schaaf to Chicago, and then wound op 1932 by stepping Tally Grifith in seven rounds. In June, 1933, Max tackled and defeated Max Schmeling, former": champion, in 10 rounds. Abore la s ́scene of the Schmeling Baer fight with Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager, Inset: Leaving the ring temporarily, Max went to Hollywood and starred in a motion picture, about a prize fighter. He is shown in a scene from "The Frise Fighter and the Lady" with Mynie Loy. On the coveted throne, Baer, a carefree, likeable Aghter, portends to be one of the most popular of all champions.
