Buddy Baer Faces Fistic Crossroads Must Win Over Mann To Remain Among Heavyweight Hopes By HAROLD CONRAD It doesnt seem so long ago that we used to call Buddy Baer Max's kid brother. Maybe it's because Buddy Is the quieter of the two that we never heard much about him, but a peek at the records reveals that he has been bobbing around in the ring for more than five years.

Now, Max ha won a world's title, had almost as much publicity as Lindbergh and broken more hearts than he has Jaws, but Buddy's career in the ring has been as colorful as a glass of milk. When and Southern hospitality, was here to stay. He called in a Mr. Schumann, a patent attorney. Mr.

S. inspected the ancient machines, made some study of the situation and designed new models. These sketches were turned over to Mr. Charley Grainger, an associate of the Colonel at Churchill Downs, who owned an iron foundry', thus the first mutuel machines in America were turned out Wherefore, even today the Colonel still insists that the pawnshop is really a great American Institution. "It saved the Derby, didn't it?" hell ask.

EVERY DERBY Of course, you know that Colonel Winn has seen every Derby since 1875, when Aristides, a little chestnut colt coupled with Chesapeake in the betting, came galloping home in front of a field of 15. There are variations to the story of the Colonel's attendance at the first race. Some stories have it that he viewed the event from the limb of a tree. Others have him crushed against the infield rail. The Colonel himself says that he saw the race from the tail of his father's grocery wagon.

The Colonel is now 78 and is usually found in the company of another young squirt, Judse Charles Franklin Price, who is 83. The Judge has seen 62 of the last 65 Derbies. GREAT Gt'Y If you get down to Louisville for the race you may have difficulty in catching up with them, especially the Colonel. He's kept pretty busy on Derby Day. But take our word for it, he's one of the tops in sports.

He pays little attention to training rules, smokes many big cigars and will sit up all hours with a julep in his hand. He likes to have people around him all kinds, of high and low esteem. In fact he even likes to have sports writers around. And he'll tell you: "I suppose there's a better "way to live than the way I know, but no one has ever told me about it." Perhaps no one has ever discovered the formula. shop to stay in business.

Yes, it can almost be said that the Blue Grass classic owes its present existence and success to a benevolent old "Uncle." It happened back In 1908. six years after Col. Matt Winn had taken an active interest in the Churchill Downs track. It seems the hard-boot politicians got to calling one another names and the result of the argument was a ban on betting. Incredible as it may seem, it became illegal to Improve the breed via the media of wagers in old Kentucky.

So what happened? So, Colonel Winn and his associates peered back through musty laws and came up with a lulu. This law had been passed in 1873 and held, in substance, that it was O. K. to bet through machines but not to bet with humans, always allowing that a bookmaker is human. WHY, "VNCLE!" So, Colonel Winn scouted around and found that previous owners of the track had operated mutuel machines.

He asked some questions and learned that the mechanical gadgets had not been popular with the customers and that the old owners had sold them. Now where does a fellow sell anything for which there apparently is no market? It didn't take Colonel Winn very long to add up two and two. In a blink of a kitten's optic he was off to the local pawnshop, and Bingo! There they were. The machines weren't works of mechanical perfection. They were old and even mysterious to the men who operated them back on that Derby Day of 1908.

But they turned the trick. In fact they turned a $50,000 trick for the Colonel that afternoon. STOPGAP The 1908 mutuel gimmicks were only a stopgap with the Colonel. He didnt expect to use them again, had hoped that the politicians would be in agreemen and bookmaklng restored by 1909. But the statesmen were still at loggerheads the next year, and the Colonel decided that mutuel beting, 41ke the Julep 0 A I BROOKLYN PREP Kashdan Shines In U.S.

Silverstein, Berfond Gain at Trinity Wall Europe, when he established an international reputation. After defeating Abraham Kup- chlk, another Brooklynlte, and drawing with Reuben Fine of Kew Gardens, Kashdan wrested a well-played game from Herbert Seidman of Brooklyn College.

This halted what promised i be another series of successes for Seidman, who previously had drawn with the national champion, Reshevsky, in his first-round game and then defeated Weaver W. Adams of Boston. Kashdan succeeded because he was able to concentrate force upon Seidman's king's pawn, while operating also on the open queen's bishop's file. Seidman was obliged to strike his colors after 24 moves. Sidney Bernstein and Abraham Kupchik are also from Brooklyn.

The former has had his bye, he drew with Shainswit in the second round and won from Littman of Florida in the third. Kupchik started off with a loss to Kashdan and then drew two games with Pinkus and Rejnfeld. W. K. Wimsatt and I.

S. Turover of Washington have offered two special prizes, including one for brilliancy. Adams of Boston could have made a good bid for it in his game with Albert C. Simonson, but he missed his chance at his 21st turn. By playing correctly and sacrificing two rooks, he might have checkmated Simonson.

Instead. Simonson won in 22 moves. The scores follow: By MAX LODAW Phil Silverstein and Ben Berfond won an extended encounter from Andy Widener and Irv Bergman, 16-21, 21-8, 21-14, as the second round of the Trinity Club's mixed class doubles was completed last night.

'I A ss telU a guy has been tossing punches for five years you should have a pretty good idea of where he's headed for. Tomorrow night the silent Baer meets Nathan Mann in a 12-rounder at the Garden, If Buddy doesn't get by Mann we know where he should be headed for straight back to that ranch in California.

If he does, he rates a crack at what's left of our top bracket of heavyweight contenders. Sidetracked by Barlund There was a time when Buddy really looked like a hot prospect, but in his next local ring start against Gunner Barlund he got tired in the eighth round and the referee stopped the fight in favor of Mr. Barlund. We haven't seen him around here since, but he took a long rest and, according to reports, did some right fancy fighting out on the Coast. His chief boast is a victory over Lee Savold, the mid-Western kid who was being built up for a shot at Joe Louis.

Buddy had him on the floor three times and broke his hand. Savold managed to hang on and Baer outpointed him for the rest of the fight with a busted mitt. Bud went back into training right after that fight and, since he had to use his let. hand, they say his southpaw flipper became highly developed and that as a result he is now a pretty fair boxer.

Stars to Use Ruiz Against Bushwicks Silvano Rui, standout pitcher of the Cuban Stars in years past, will be the staring selection for the Havana nine Sunday when that team makes its American debut of the season In a doubleheader with the Bushwicks at Dexter Park. The Stars recently arrived from Miami, where they trained for a few days after the hop from Havana. The Cubans, whose members shared in upset conquests of the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds in Spring games, have lost none of their old stars, of whom Ruiz is one of the brightest.

In addition, they'll present several newcomers. Ruiz is remembered at Dexter Park as a crafty hurler who has locked horns with Bushwick acea in extra-inning battles. His dependability brought him the decision in several of these tussles. Consequently, he makes an ideal starter for the opening game of the twin card.
