BAER BEATEN EVEN BEFORE GONGSOUNDED 'Psychological Kayo’ Beat Max In His Dressing Room, Says Mental Expert (EDITOR’S NOTE: Dr. J. L. Moreno, mental expert who studied Max Baer and Joe Louis in their training camps, gives in the following article his analysis of the fight). By J. L. MORENO, M. D. (Copyright, 1935, UP)) NEW YORK. Sept. 25. OF) — A psychological knockout beat Max Baer as much as Joe Louis' mighty punch. This psychological knockout be gan in the dressing room five min utes before the fight. Baer. Jack Dempsey and Billy McCsmey were alone in the shower room. "Max." said McCamey. "Go in there fighting at the gong. Don't box that fellow or he will murder you. “Yes.'* cut in Dempsey, “There will be no boxing.” "I'll go in fighting,” Baer prom ised. Which is exactly opposite to what he did do. What happened to Baer in the dressing room, the psychological knockout there, was the climax of training camp events. At camp there was always a gap between him and his trainers. He did not succeed well in taking ad vice. Read avidly everything about I»uis. about his own conditioning, asked everyone how he looked to them. In phantasy he was brooding. He visualized himself and his op Snent in detail. If he could have Iked freely with someone, it might have helped. But he posed as a superman, tried to fool him self and everyone. Surrounded by friends, he was in fact a solitaire. His body became stronger but his mind became more desperate as the fight neared. Seeking a last straw, he asked Dempsey to be his second But when he had Dempsey in the dressing room, nothing hap pened to change the fact that Max Baer in his oysterious self was still alone. He listened but could not absorb Dempsey's suggestions. When he entered the fight there were two men fighting against him. One was the real Louis, peer ing at him. The other was the ghost of Louis, which his imagina tion had built up before the fight. Louis showed some surprises. He did not fight by instinct alone—he was thinking. He was not the automaton in the hands of his trainer which the fans had been told to expect. He was an independent Louis, or more so than we had believed, making decisions on the spur of the moment. I think Baer took him by sur prise. He expected a different Baer, a wild swinger, a vicious at tack carried to him. He waited pa tiently for this. His attitude at the •tart was hesitating, watching. He found out in these moments In the ring things which his Train er Jack Blackburn could not tell him. He felt through a psychology of his own that Baer had no de fense against him. Maybe in these moments the adolescent Louis became a man. Louis showed also Intelligence of a sort concerning whi:h little has been written. A real test of intel ligence—one of the l*est—Is the ability to live through the actual moments as they confront one, and not let the present ins cant be over shadowed by moments of the past or the future. Louis showed something else also. 1 form of Intelligence In which his race is likely to excel. The white man's civilization has the sad dis tinction of training mind and body •part from each other. There have been civilizations more primitive but wiser than ours to this respect. They knew a co ordination between the two. an intelligence which cannot be dis covered except in action. Joe Louis showed this Tuesday night. Though he was fighting, in some of his movements there was an almost spiritual grace. He was able to think while moving his arms and legs, without marring or losing any of the skill of his physical movements Cameron Records CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT Judge Geo.

"Bonnie Scotland” shows Wednesday ana Thursday at the Capitol, Browns ville. In the first place, imagine, if y i will, Messrs. Laurel and Hardy in kilts!

UP) —At the door of high office in Ok lahoma. the forbidding sign that says “for men only" still hung high Wednesday an the basis of incom plete and unofficial returns from Tuesday’s special election Thus Oklahoma refined its uni que position as the only state In which no woman can be gcvembr nor occupy any of the next seven most important elective offices in the stalehouse. In the balloting that brought wo men their second official setback in five yean. the returns showed strong majorities for constitutional amendments to provide pensions for the aged and to clear the way for the legislation to exempt home steads from ad valorem taxation. Of the total of 3375 precincts, unofficial figures from 1.930 show ed 116.105 for the initiated proposal to lift the tax burden from homes 52.400 against; and 104.189 for the Initiated old age pension amend ment. 59.799 against. Apparently defeated were all of the four constitutional amendments referred by the legislature. These called for tax-exempt ion of home steads on a more limited basis; for less liberal pensions to the aged; the “women’s rights” question, and re organization of the state land office. The women’s leaders, apparently a bit stunned by the upeet of an election where most observers ex pected an easy feminine victory, ac cepted the defeat as a new challenge. “We’re starting another campaign tomorrow.” said Miss Jessye Ar nett of Oklahoma City, vice presi dent of the state Business and Pro fessional Women’s Clubs.

GOP Takes Pointers At ***** ***** Louis-Baer Fight For ***** ***** Drive Against Roosevelt WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. (#y— Fresh from watching the Baer Louls fight, members of the repub lican national executive committee met Wednesday to prepare for bat tling the democrats in the 1936 presi dential campaign. The meeting actually marked the beginning of the republican cam paign to defeat President Roosevelt. It was the first session the com mittee has held since before the 1934 off-year elections. One spokesman for the republicans said the committee call evidenced the revival of republican hopes for next years election, that it would not have been held if the pessimism of a few months ago had prevailed. Without power to discuss candi dacies or policies, the committee was called to talk finances and cam paign strategy'. The committee’s last report showed *40,000 in the treas ury. hardly more than necessary to carry on normal activities. George F. Getz, of Illinois, national treas urer. was expected to discuss plans for augmenting this fund. It would be necessary, if the plan to be advanced by Harrison E. Spangler of Iowa, one of the leaders of the “grass roots” conference, should be adopted. Spangler wants to open up a party office in Chicago and begin the campaign in the west immediately.
