Knock Out Complete. Yankee Stadium, New York, Sept. 25. ? A brown tornado, mer ciless, savage Joe Louis, swept over the magnificent Max Baer tonight, picked him up in the most devastating whirlwind of punches the prize ring has seen since the heydey of Jack Dempsey, smashed him down three times, and finally crushed him in four rounds before the first $1,000,000 crowd of boxing's New Era. Baer was knocked out after 2 minutes and 50 seconds of the fourth rOtfYid. In little less than 12 minutes that he faced the chocolate cyclone, he took a beat ing so unmerciful, so complete that the crowd of 90,000, nearly filling the huge ball park, gasped at the cruelty of it. Down Three Times Three times the giant, curly headed Californian, trying to grin to the last through the crimson mask of his torn features, was haqiinered to the floor under two fisted blasts that hit him with all the suddenness and deadly ac curacy of a tommy gun at point blank range. He was floored three times in all, twice in the third for counts of nine and four, the. last time being saved by the bell and hauled to "his corner by his chief second, Jack Deripsey. When the blast tore into his head again in the fourth, he sank to one knee by the ropes, across the ring from his own corner. So badly had he been beaten, so com plete was his thrashing that his eyes were opapue, his knee trem bled as he slowly shook his head from side to side. The blood from his face was pouring over his chest as he stayed on one knee until Referee Arthur Donovan finished the complete count of ten.

TOBACCO PRICE CORK GETS FEW RESULTS I Washington. Sept. 25.? Despite I a minimum of tangible reaults. a' delegation of tobacco growers ! warehousemen and members ofi Congress left here tonight some what more hopeful of the future trend of flue-cured tobacco pricesl' than when they arrived. ' The delegation, which was ac companied by Governor Ehiing-i1 haus, held three conference*, one this morning with AAA officials ' | another this afternoon with repre sentatives of the large tobacco1 buyers and a third tonight among I themselves. i Seasonal Hope The spirit of hope was due i chiefly to an apparent generall. sentiment that the slight upturn j in prices noted this week will like- i y continue. It was pointed out that prices after October I have , .b?n .th* p"8t 23 5 per , TW S ,V Pr'?r t0 that dat*- - That would mean this year an average of about 21.5 cents from now on and an average for the , season of between 20 and ">i cents. * 1 E v"- Floyd, tobacco specialist of the State Extension Service, reported that the signup for the new AAA contracts now being of fered for 1986-39, Inclusive, is jalready under way in all but five (counties and will be practically ; completed within 10 days A signup *f 98 per cent ill ready has been obtained in bo'.h1 Pitt and Penfler counties with several other counties over 90 oer cent. J. B. Hutson. chief of the AAA tobacco section, who attended all three sessions of the delegation' and held a f&urth session with the Tobacco Advisory Committee at which It was concluded that possibilities for a change in parity prices of great benefit to the grow ers are decidedly limited, was somewhat more specific than he has been heretofore in regard to' 1936 reductions. I'nder 030,04)0,000 "The crop certainly will be placed at below 650 million I pounds, he told Dr. Clarence Poe. chairman of the group in revising a statement as to the accomplish ments of the meetings. "The ques tion in my mind is how much be low 650 million pounds to fix it, ' he added. The statement written by Dr Poe was approved by other mem bers of the committee, as well -as by Mr. Hutson, appeared to re present the views of most of those present, but it was distinctly more optimistic than the views of some of those present, with Governor , Ehringhaus showing the keenest ^disappointment because of the ab sence of concrete developments. Buyers Aloof All were somewhat surprised at the attitude of the buyers, who expressed a desire to cooperate' but who declined to make any .specific suggestions whatever. At To Parlty Parity was the principal topic of the conversations between the delegation and' Mr. Hutson and Other AAA officials. A study of parity will be made Iw', ? View to lts Increase, but ttle hope Is felt In that connec tion At the present time parity for flue cured tobacco runs about three cents above parity for cot ton, which has never been obtain-! ed. ^ The processing tax on flue cur ed tobacco has been decreased from 4.2 to 1.9 cents a pound 'but ! will almost certainly be Increased again to 3.8 cents on October 1 1936 unless there is a change In I the present law. It was decided that nothing could be gained by another tobac j co holiday and Mr Hutson declin jed to recommend any purchase of or loans on tobacco on the ground that prices are now above parity. Mr. Hutson's promise of a crop jnext year under 650 million pounds estimated consumption, Is in contrast to the present crop of over 700,000,000 pounds, in creased in order to increase stocks. At the conclusion of Its session 1 tonight, Chairman Clarence Poe, ' with the approval of Mr. Hutson and other members of the commit tee issued the following state ment: "While the committee appoint ed at Saturday's mass meeting has accomplished no miracles, and I expected it to accomplish none, I am nevertheless confident that it has done a worthwhile work. In some respects It has ac complished Improvements. In oth er respect*, it has cleared up mis apprehensions and discovered Im portant facta of promise. "1. The most important facta we discovered are those relating' to the general improvement In I prices that usually begins at this i season, anyhow, regardlesa of activity by growers. We were tn , formed, first, that average prices after October 1 are usually 2JU per cent higher than prices be fore October 1. Second, that this lusual increase in 1936 should (Continued on page eight) Annual State Fair Raleigh, Sept., 24.?

Injuries Handicap Tar Heels As They Drill For Wake Game rar Heels Looking for Hard Battle From Demon Dea cons This Saturday ? Great Passing Attacks Scheduled to Be Used By Both Elevens Chapel HIM, N. C., Sept. 24. ? Carolina battles Wake Forest Sat lrday at Kenan Stadium at 2:30 j'clock in a game which appeared it the opening of the pre-season vorkouts to be a "breather" but which now looms as quite an ob stacle for the Tar Heels. Injuries have cut the Carolina lopes to shreds, greatly weaken ing the Tar Heel reserve strength. Besides this, the Deacons, a "dark tiorse" a month ago. now appear is a strong club. They gave the tiighly favored Duke team a real fight last Saturday and are set to luplicate this feat against Caro lina this week-end. At the first of the season Coach Snavely was looking forward to ei season in which he would have plenty of reserve material. Things remained in that light for two or three weeks, but this past week caused a reversal in the situation. The reserves have been cut short by injuries. From the first string out with injuries at present is Herman Snyder, while both Tom Evans and John Trijnpey are slow ed up with past injuries. Among the missing reserves are Dick Dashiell, Gene Barwick, Bruce Smith, Crowell Little and Ed Juli ber. A1 Gaydos, soph guard, is out for the season. Some of these men will be ready for the Wake Fore3t tilt, but if so they will not be in shape to go at their full speed. Pass defense is the main sub ject at the Tar Heel camp this week. The Deacons flashed a weVl executed serial attack last week and Coach Suavely is preparing to combat such a drive in the Tar Heel battle. The Blue and White, in turn, is itself perfecting air maneuvers to employ in its first game of the seas^jj.
