	As is the case with many fighters, Baer's initial retirement did not last long. He was back in less than a year (weighing in at an all-time high of 226 pounds), winning a six-round decision against overmatched [[Tony Souza]]. The Souza fight was the first in a series of eighteen bouts fought inside of three months, as Max toured the U.S. fighting local boys from Salt Lake City, Boise, San Antonio, Tulsa, Vancouver, Twin Falls, and other cities. He knocked out [[Soldier Eddie Franks]] in three rounds on September 3 1936, in Provo, Utah, and he defeated [[Andy Miller\|Andy "Kid" Miller]] by a six-round decision on September 21, 1936, in Sheldon, Iowa. Earl Jinkinson of the ''Sheldon Mail'' wrote the following: "Max Baer, the clowning ex-heavyweight champion amused the large crowd by playfully toying with [[Andy Miller]] of Sioux City. . . . As was expected the Sioux City lad was no match. . . . ~~[S]omeone~~ asked him to hit Miller and Max replied 'do you want me to commit murder?' . . . The bout was more of a clowning exhibition on the part of Max but the bout was well received by the large crowd. It seems to this correspondent that even after the Louis beating, which Max explained was due to his injured hands, and one look at his hands at this date is sufficient evidence to prove his contention, that Max is still a first class heavyweight contender."

	On April 15, 1937, he faced his first ranked contender since the shellacking at the hands of Louis. His opponent was England's heavyweight champion, [[Tommy Farr]], who defeated the former world champion over twelve rounds. It was Max's first loss in twenty-three outings. Less than a year later, he avenged the loss, flooring Tommy two times en route to a fifteen-round decision, followed by a first-round knockout of Ohio's [[Hank Hankinson]].
