[
New York, Jan. 4.—World’s cham
pions in prospect have been picked by'
a number of eminent men including
Jim Corbett, Jim Jeffries, Squire Ab
ingion and a number of others. But
Douglas Fairbanks is the first actor
who has stacked his reputation as a
picker of coming champios.
Doug's best bet is Sammy Baker, a
negro, weighing 230 pounds in traiu-|
ing, is twenty years old, six feet four
inches tall and has an eighty-four
inch reach Baker has been kept un
der cover for eighteen months, under
going special training and grooming'
for a profesional ring career—all at;
the expense of the ~reat film star
who believes he has a champion un
der his wing.
Tin finding ot Baker makes a dra
matic story. He blew into filmland
from Oklahoma and was lucky enough)
to land at a time when dusky persons j
were in demand to play parts in “The
Thief of Bagdad.” Baker was select
ed at once by the casting director to
play the part of an African chief. )
Fairbanks saw him and was so im-j
,pressed by Tie man’s gigantic si/e, hist
! grace of movement, and his youth,
that he turned him over to a profes-_
; sional boxing instructor for an opin-j
; ion as to his natural ability. The re
| port was good and the actor decided
| to finance his education as a fighter,
i For nearly two years Baker has
| been working with the greatest en
: thusiasm and in the past three months
! in ^Tht private tryouts against pro
I Sessional heavyweights, Baker is said
■ to have won five of the goes with first-!
round knockouts and three with knock
outs in the second round
Critical observers of ring affairs
have looked Baker over and believe!
that he shows a lot more than did
Harry Wills when the brown panther
was making a reputation out on the
West coast.
His education has been completed
’ lie chances are that he will
shortly come east to show his wares
to the fans.

Prc.f Albert Michelson of the Uni
ve/sity of Illinois who is one of the
scientists to make final tests of the
Einstein theory of relativity. He will
measure the velocity of lighi in con
nection with the movements of air.
With a tube one foot in diameter laid
in the earth in the form of a square,
1500 feet to each side, he expects to
make tne final tests. If ether travels
with the earth he holds it will take
the same time to go around the pipe
in either direction. If the beam trav
els faster in one direction than in the
other he considers it would indicate
that the ether does not move with
the earth and does affect the velocity
of light.
