May's two homers to the left field bleachers were good for five runs and ran his home run mark for the season to 16. This put him into a tie with Hank Sauer of Chicago Cubs for the lead in that department.

Marv Grissom came into the game in the fourth inning and sup- pressed a Cardinal attack that had routed Sal Maglie and Bob McCall. Grissom was credited with his third victory against one defeat. The loss was charged to Joe

Ex-heavyvieight. champion Joe Louis, who picks Rocky Marciano to beat Ezzarcl Charles either by a knockout or an uiiainiiiious de- cision in I.l1L'll‘ title light this month, selects his fight with Buddy Baer in Washington in 1941 as the most. exciting of his career. That bout was something like the wild and wooly Dempsey-Firpo frat-as of 1923 when l"ll'p0 crashed Dempsey through the rope: onto the typewriters in the first round amt Dempsey came back to knock- out the “Wild Bull of the Pampas" in the brutal second round.

. . .

Louis told sports writer Andy O'Brien in Montreal that. he would never forget the scrap with Buddy Baer. Joe was making the 17th defence of his title and was at the peak of his career while Baer big and strong. was given little chalice to survive the first round. As the bell sounded for the first round Louis rushed from his cor- ner and connected with several left jabs. Then it happened. Bar-1‘ connected with a solid left to blast Louis through the ropes. Louis got up at the count of four and covered up for the remainder of the round.

. . .

Louis took over the second round and belted Baer around the ring. It looked like curtains for I018 Buddy but he hung on. As the third round opened Baer charged across the ring and put Louis on the defensive. One of Joe's eyes was swelling badly. Both fighters slugged it out during the third and fourth and coming to the end of the fourth frame Louis was bold- ing on.

In the fifth Baer went all out. Louis‘ battered face began bleeding and he was having difficulty see- ing. His left eye was completely closed and he clinched repeatedly. But in the dying seconds the Brown Bomber connected with a solid right that dropped Beer In the canvass as he caught. the big fellow flush on the jaw. Baei‘ caught Louis with R smashing right. early in the sixth round as Louis rushed in for the kill. Joe was staggered but he shook off tile effects and dumped Baer on the canvass with I flurry of lefts and rights.

o .

Beer was up again at the count of seven. Louis rushed with a one- two and Beer went down again- apparentlv out like a lamp. But BR€I'_8Il‘LIizEl6‘d back to his feet at the count of nine and was nailed again by a hard Louis right as the bell sounded to end the rounrl. In the excitment Bacr‘s manager Ancil I-Ioffmnn was shreiking at referee Arthur Donovan that his fighter had been hit after the bell and demanded the decision via the foul route. The referee refused but Hoffman would not get. out of the ring. He was still in the rim! when the bell rang for the seventh round and Donovan was forced to award the fight to Louis. Its no
