...efforts to do so started in disgraceful failure. In the first big match he staged, Paulino Uzcudun knocked out an overrated Canadian named Soldier Jones in two minutes. To rehabilitate himself Promoter Dickson put Paulino into the ring against an English fighter named Harry Drake. Boxer Drake was so terrified at the sight of his bronzed opponent from the Pyrenees that it took several handlers to push him into the ring. There was a quick and ugly knockout and variorum reports of what happened to Promoter Dickson, who was supposed to have been hit on the head with a wine...

...next day. Baer was suspended for a year. When he returned to the ring, he had a new manager, Ancil Hoffman, and the reputation of being the hardest hitter since Jack Dempsey. After a year in which he lost fights to Ernie Schaaf, Tommy Loughran, Johnny Risko and Paulino Uzcudun he began to justify that reputation. In a return fight with Ernie Schaaf, he gave his opponent a terrific drubbing, knocked him unconscious for three hours. A year ago Baer won his right to fight Carnera by thrashing Max Schmeling...
