Carnern asks, in all sincerity, what Baer's career consists of, and the answer, hoarstly, must be that he knocked out Max Schmeling. Whether the ended the Germon's carcer os a Lepnotcher, or whather Schmeling was ripe at that moment to be taken by any good hiter, no UTIC ever will know.

The credit there may be Steve's or it may be Baer's, Or whether credit there is for both those victories might have to go to the ring rust that settled in tic· German's joints in year of inactivity.
