Brilliant Successes In European Tours

Various groups of American athletes this summer made victorious tours through Europe and those who have followed their numerous starts must express the greatest admiration for them. Their victories were so numerous and their displays in general so imposing that occasional defeats were of no account. The aim of the tours was to test out the experts of the Old World in the year before the Olympic Games. They encountered the best athletes

"HARDEST CHIN I EVER HIT”

(Special to "Telegraph")

New York, Sept. 25. Maxie Baer, the former heavy- weight boxing champion, has emphatically announced that he is finished with the sport and will not put on gloves again. He remarks that he was never meant to be a fighter and that he dis- liked the pastime.

In an interview here, to-day Baer wald: "I never fight aga was not meant to be a fighter and never liked it. I hope Joe Louis makes lots of money. He is a good kid. I got mine, I am glad I've got a good manager."

Jack Dempsey, also a former heavyweight champion, was of the opinion that Loula is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

The Harlem community is still delirious.

Jimmy Braddock, the present world champion watched, the fight from the Press row. He was like watching a man who would spring the trap at one's execution.

Louis remarked: "Baer's chin is the hardest thing I ever hlt."- United Presa.
