The world's heavyweight championship came back to the United States last night after an absence of a year.
Max Baer, the new Jack Dempsey in every respect save seriousness, knocked out Primo Carnera, Venetian ring giant, in the eleventh round of their scheduled fifteen round battle in Madison Square Garden's Long Island City Bowl. He triumphed in one of the most sensational encounters ever waged for the ring's richest prize.
