AT W, \"A,-‘ \7/_-\5---\ A— The Foening Sfar Sporls WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1935. ot Louis, Even Money Bet to Land K nockoud, Plansto Pound Camera Under Heart THRONG OF 50000 | MAY Y S000 Giant Will Give Colored Sensation First Real Test Tomorrow. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 24—The search for fistic fire works leads tomorrow night to the Yankee Stadium, where the biggest boxing crowd of the year will see if the youthful cannon cracker from Detroit, Joe Louis, has enough explosive power to blast through the ponderous defense of Primo Carnera. Acclaimed the most terrific puacher in heavyweight ranks since Jack Dempsey, Louis will attempt to cut down his 260-pound opponent on the spot where the celebrated Manassa Mauler flattened Jack Sharkey eight years ago. The betting was even money that the “brown bomber” would %do it well inside the limit of 15 rounds, but a good share of the experts at least will be convinced only when they see it done. Louis will make his metropolitan | debut after a sensational “build-up.” Only 21 years old ang barely a year out of amateur ranks, the Detroit Negro has compiled an amazing record in the Middle West. He has scored 18 knockouts in 22 professional fights. He is reputed to have had every oppenent he has ever met, amateur | or pro, on the floor at least once with his short, deadly punches. Never Under Heavy Fire. E H under fire, however, so that it remains to be seen how effective he will be against a fighter of Carnera’s &ize, courage and staying powers. No one expects Carnera, for all his tremendous bulk, to bowl over the youthful Negro. strictly of the barn-storming variety, but the Itallan giant no longer is regarded lightly. Fast for his size and exceedingly game, despite his tendency to become flustered by a heavy attack, Carnera has developed an effective left hand to support his bear-like tactics at close range. It remains to be seen ‘whether he can forestall another such battering as he took at Max Baer's hands a year ago. If the fight goes the limit and he hasn’t been on the floor too often, Carnera should have an execellent chance to win on points. The victor will be matched in September with Max Baer. Goal Seems Far Away. OUIS is gunning for the heavy- weight championship, ambitious to be the first of his race to scale the top since Jack Johnson ruled fistiana, but the goal looks a long way off. The | plans for Champion James J. Brad- dock do not call for any taste of the dynamite in the young Negro's fists. If the predictions of Promoter Mike Jacobs are fulfilled the fight will draw more than 50,000 cash customers and & “gate” approximating $400,000. These figures are sensational, meas- ured by current box office standards. ‘They would mean the second largest “house” in fight history for a heavy- weight mixed match. Harry Wills and Luis Angel Firpo, the “Wild Bull of the Pampas,” drew slightly more than $500,000 at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jer- sey City, in 1924. Preliminary bouts, starting at 7:15 p.m. (Eastern standard time) will in- clude a six-rounder between Buddy Baer, younger but bigger brother of Max, and “Big Boy” Rawson. The main bout is slated for 9 p.m. There will be no broadcast. If the weather forces a postponement the show will be held Wednesday night. —_— vsmn. HAS yet to feel the pressure Primo’s punch is | | | | | FROM THE PRESS BOX No Noticeable Racial Feeling Aroused as Louis Threatens BY JOHN EW YORK, June 24—This certainly is not the day of the color line nor the white hope. Twenty-five years ago, our Nation was so mortified by the presence of Jack Johnson on top { of the heavyweight ash-heap that his foe, James J. Jefries, became an idol and the object of teary pleas and sob- racked appeals and women's petitions to bring the title back to the so- called white race. Today, & buff-colored son of sunny Africa is storming the heights again, but nobody seems to mind. The words “white hope” and “give up this day our daily Nordic supremacy” are supplanted by “eight to five on Looie” and “ten’ll getcha twenty he don't.” Maybe Louis’ opponent is re- garded in certain of the warmer sections of the country as a white hope, but around here he is just plain “Laddie” Carnera, distin- guished social light and sucker for a right-hand swing. It’s possible that, if Joe gets past Primo and earns a shot at the title, the public gorge will rise to 90 again, and there will be shouts for & true- blue Caucasian to stamp out the king of the cafe-au-laits. Perhaps the public will insist on an American white hope. Baer and Braddock are technically American, while Primo and Max Schmeling have nothing American about them except their managers and their cash assets. Louis Cold and Drab. UT I doubt if there will be much excitement, even when Joe col- lars the crown. Sammy Goldman, manager of Canzoneri, says there will be. So do several Southerners of my acquaintance. To most of the boys in this subconscious neighborhood, however, “Lynch” is the guy who runs the bar on the corner and “white hope” is some sort of unfortunate social weakness like athlete’s foot, the brandy habit or fallen tonsils. I don’t mean that Louis is a more attractive fellow than Peter Jackson or Jack Johnson or the other targets of “white hope” hysteria. He isn't. From what I've seen of him, his only qualifications for public es- teem are his thrift and his kind- ness to his mother. He is cold and drab compared with Johnson, Lang- ford, Walcott, Gans and Siki. Louis has none of Walcott's good | nature, nor Langford's showmanship, nor Gans’ intelligence, nor the love of strutting which led Jack Johnson to lacquer his nails, wear a beret and read print through a monocle. to Thrash Carnera. LARDNE! He is pale beside Siki, the thick- skulled Senegalese. You can’t imagine uuh bumml up Montmartre with a | 41 one shoulder, a monkey on the othér and a lion cub trotting be- hind him on a leash—nor smashing up a chiropodist’s office because the doctor drew the line at treating black feet—nor slapping cops—nor swigging wine from a two-gallon jug—nor wearing an opera cape, tall hat and tan shoes. These traits actually made Siki more attractive than Louis in some ways, though I doubt if Joe's mother would care to see him model his life on the Bat’s. The Bat, you remember, came to no good end and wound up with capital amounting to $600. Few Good Colored Boys Lately. Am all, it's probably because Louis behaves himself that there is no very strong feeling against him. That's one reason. Another is that we have been short on good colored heavyweights for a long time. Harry Wills was a menace, but menacing doesn’t take the place of fighting. George Godfrey seemed for a while to have all 1t takes, but George was so eccentric that the promoters became tired of playing with him. Louis, as a fighter, is close to per- fect. That, and his sober conduct, and the recent shortage of good dark boys, have combined to boost Joe over the hurdle of race feeling. It's only a guess, but I believe that there will be as many whites rooting for Louis as for Carnera at Yankee Stadium. May- be that's why they call it Yankee Stadium. In the twentieth place, Primo Carnera is by no means perfectly equipped for the role of white hope. People have heard that Primo used to knock fellows out without touching them. They have heard that he chums around a good deal with men of low standing in the community. Also, he was bounced on the floor a dozen times in his last fight with the haymaking harlequin, Max Baer. So Primo is not a white hope and Louis is not a black menace. The racial angle is deader than a smelt in this fight. But there are so many other angles to it that Promoter Mike Jacobs expects a $400,000 house and the boxing nuts are going around town weaving and bobbing with ex- citement. And Commissioner John T. Doyle has made Louis a 3-to-5 favor- ite, which means that the whites are Louis 5-3 Choice To Beat Carnera BY JACK DOYLE, Broadwhy Betting Commissioner. EW YORK, June 24.—The bet- 3 tors, apparently not the least bit disturbed by Joe Louis’ in- experience and the brevity ef his fighting record, have established the Detroit negro a strong favorite for his fight here tomorrow night with Primo Carnera. The trend is all toward Louis as the fight ap- proaches. At the same time, there is enough Carnera money available to make this the liveliest betting fight of the last few years. I am offering the following odds: Against Louis—3 to 5. Against Carnera—13 to 10. Against the fight going the limit of 15 rounds—even - money.

BY JOHN B. KELLER. ONEST, rugged milling, as good as any ever offered here by talented club fighters, is predicted for tonight at Grif- fith Stadium by Goldie Ahearn, old- time ringman, who has matched the boys for the 36 scheduled rounds to start at 8:30 o’clock. Four eight-rounders and an open- ing four-heat event will bring together a flock of crowd-pleasers, most of them highly popular with Capital fight enthusiasts. Flings at fistic heights will be at stake in the main bout between Phil Furr, District welter title holder, and Tony Rock of Scranton, Pa., and in the semi-windup between Roger Bern- ard, the Flini. Mich., flashy feather, and Lou Fox of New York, according to Matchmaker Ahearn. A victory for Furr means the prom- ise of & match with Harry Dublinsky, something for the local lad to shoot at, while Bernard by winning would be in line for a crack at Frankie Klick’s junior lightweight laurels, says the Washington matchmaker. Tough Test for Furr, Flmn who boasts a No. 10 rating among the world’s welters in the Ring Magazine, recently came back in fine fashion after some disappointing ring appearances. He handily beat Frank Bruno the last time out, flatten- ing the New Yorker four times over a six-round route. If Rock has every- thing his ring record indicates, Phil probably will have to step just as fast again tonight if he would get that shot at Dublinsky. This Rock has completely outclassed Jay McCadon, who laced Furr; knocked out Pete Gullotta and. deci- sioned Prankie Petrolle, Pete Suski and Bruno. He has done a lot of fighting around Scranton, it seems, where a fighter runs into many hard- boiled products of Pennsylvania's coal fields. Bernard, a hard-fighting boy with a wallop in each fist, barely managed to outpoint and outpunch Fox in a six-rounder that was the high spot of the recent Shrine show at' the ball yard. The way he looked at the finish of that bout Bernard should give a corking show over the longer stretch. Temes, Katz Resume Battle. 'WO others who battled to a draw in the Shrine show will resume hostilities tonight. Joe Temes, rated 2s best among the feathers of Greek extraction in this country, and Julie Katz, a likely-looking youngster out of Tony Canzoneri’s stable, will en- deavor to settle definitely their argu- ment. Temes is a scrapper of the whirl- wind type, but Katz is a clever boxer capable of giving a fine scrap. Katz, before turning pro not quite two years ago was among the best ama- teurs of New York and New Jersey. He won Golden Glove titles in two classes. Temes only last week scored a three-round knockout over Tommy Horn, tough Baltimorean, at Rich- mond. In the first of the eight-rounders on the card, Tincan Romanelli, who is well liked among the smaller New York clubs, and Andy Martin, a Bos- ton veteran, will mix. The opening four-round affair will bring together Al Dintamin, local bantam, and Joe Transparante, a red-headed Italian of Baltimore.

Leon Chagnon, New York Giants’ 1 No. 6 pitcher, hurled relief for Fred Fitzsimmons in three of the former’s first four appearances vn the mound this season. and Primo’s Ability In looking over the more important details of the Louis-Carnera assem- blage, which takes place tomorrow night, there are two outstanding angles to consider in advance. 1. Has Carnera one good fight in his huge sys to offer that at least is partly in keeping with his cSmbined bulk and agility? 2. Is Joe Louis, with a year’s good Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. Training for their big battle at New York tomorrow night has its compensations for the huge Italian and the hard-hitting Detroiter, despite the drudgery of bag-punching, road work, shadow boxing and sparring.

BY BILL DISMER, JR. self to home spectators for the first time this season yesterday when he made his debut in the District of Columbia tournament being held this week at the Columbia Country Club and all that we had learned to expect of him by our reading of his out-of-town | activities was fulfilled. He swept through his first-round match with Happy Jacobs and wasn't in action long enough to allow half as intimate inspection as many would have liked, but in the 30 minutes or 80 he was on the court he showed plenty. Six-love, six-love were the scores, and playing like he was yesterday we're not going to hold our breath waiting for him to lose his first game. He completely dominated the pro- ceedings, and had he gotten home before 3 a.m. yesterday morning after an all-night, all-day automobile ride from Chicago he might have won 12 love games. Barney seems to be “there” again this season, and local courtmen who hope to stop him are going to have their work cut out for them. ITS just possible that Barney may face a stiffer opponent in the fourth round than is first apparent from a glance at the pairings. A little be- low him in his bracket is the unim- posing name (to those who don’t know) of Lyman. Now, Lyman is one of the two players of former Navy Leech Cup teams (Lieut. McCue being the other), and he is the boy who beat Fritz Mercur just a few years back when the latter was at his height. Lyman must face Shore, seeded No. 6, in the third round, but if he upsets the former junior champion, look out, Barney!

In this case the giant the wallop, and that is what swings the balance in favor of the colored Carnera towers head and shoulders above Louis.

The Italian is & good boxer. He knows how to stab out his left as he rushes in for a crack at close quarters. But boxing alone is not going to beat Louis. An overshot jab and the shortness of the Negro’s punches nullify the points scored by a jab. Primo Got Slow Start. CARNERA reached the top after poor showings against fairly good heavies. There was nothing in his work against the veteran Tommy Loughran to lead any one to think he carried any kind of punch for one of his weight and strength. Louis is not the master boxer Loughran is. Their styles are totally different. Loughran depended on a long left to keep a rival at a distance, and his right was car- ried high to ward off swinging blows. ‘With-these he stood Carnera off for 15 rounds, and had not Tommy grown | tired from lugging the giant around | the decision might have been different. The major point against Louis is the short time he has been fighting | professionally. Against this one can say that Joe has fought often enough, against varied styles, to give him | sufficient experience to cope Wwith | Carnera. Thirty rounds with Patsy | Perroni, Hans Birkie and Natie Brown | showed he could go the route without | tiring. Knockouts over Lee Ramage |and Charley Massera, good boxers, proved he could put over the sleep | wallop without extending himself. | None of the five mentioned, however, | has the ability to assimilate & blow ls well as Carnera. Louis More Impressive. OUIS has been more impressive than Carnera in training. Ex- | perts who heard so much about the Negro's work in the West were skep- tical until they saw Louis work. His style and wallop were likened to those of former great fighters who made ring history. The battle plans, if they are not being divulged for the purpose of | fooling Carnera’s handlers, are for Louis to slip Carnera’s leads and | strike below the heart. The pictures of the Carnera-Impellittiere fight have been viewed a number of times. Every time Primo winced and turned his head when hit under the heart there were exclamations of joy from Jack Blackburn, Johnny Roxborough and Julian Black. “That’s where Joe will hit him!” they shouted. Unless the referee allows Carnera to violate the rules by roughing, elbowing and wrestling around in close, Louis figures to be just as strong and as dangerous as the Italian, no matter how far the battle goes.
