Max Baer Joe Louis Fight Bets 1935 Minneapolis Journal Article AE7-N6

Baer's Home Town
Bets All on Him
San Francisco, Sept. 19.-(P)-
Max Bear had better beat Joe
Louis next Tuesday night or else
his old home town of Livermore,
Calif., will be badly rent, if not
broke.
Baer boosters of the little wine
making and cattle raising center
have placed $3,000
with
Floyd
Russell,
local
betting
commis-
sioner.
Maxie was an awkward
butcher boy in Livermore when
he had his first vision of ring
greatness.
Russell's
latest
quotations
made Louis a 3 to 2 favorite in
San Francisco while across the
bay in Oakland, scene of most of
Baer's earlier fights, it was even
money.
