BAER OR SCHMELING FOR LOUIS

Hailed By Critics As A Coming Champion

New York, June 26 While the fight critics almost unanimously predicted to-day that Joe Louis is the coming heavyweight champion of the world, the prospective match in September for the Black Bomber with Max Baer appeared almost a certainty, Insiders are certain that Max Baer, former world champion, will fight Louis in September in spite of his damaged hands which are supposed to be the reason he lost to Jimmy Braddock.

If Barr's hands, which he damaged

on June 13 when he lost his title to
