FUSILIERS OUTPLAY CLUB IN "A" RUGBY FIXTURE AT VALLEY

BAER'S SERVICES SOUGHT

LEO LEAVITT MAKES MAX ATTRACTIVE OFFER

BUT “SCREEN” IS MORE ATTRACTIVE

London, November 21.

MAX BAER can have a $20,000 purse for a re-

-turn to the ring in an Oakland-fight, accord- ing to Leo Leavitt, the fight promoter.

Leavitt, the man with the Monday night permit, believes that Baer will draw big money against either Art Lasky or "Butch" Rogers.

Leavitt talks of a fight in the Oakland Baseball Park, al- though he talks of asking a special permit from the State Com- mission to hold the show either in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Such a fight would be held.

managed to beat the Club by a goal (5 points) to a try (3 points), when they met in a Rugby encounter on the Club ground yesterday afternoon, there was little doubt but that they were the superior team, as their tackling and passing was of a much higher standard than that of their opponents.

During the first half the Army side did most of the attack- ing, and some fine bouts of passing among the forwards and some brilliant individual efforts by Lt. Rice-Evans were featured. Hutchinson, the Club's stand-off half, seemed to be out of prac- tice, continually attempting to break through by himself, with disastrous results. Preece, of the B.W.F. was the better of the two full-backs, and continually found touch with powerful kicks.
