DUSKY DETROITER READY FOR GONG By ALAN GOVLD Afisnrltited Press 8 port a Editor NEW YORK. June 35. (AP) No matter what happens tonight when Joe Louis, "Brown Bomber" from De troit, trains his short-range fire on Prlmo Camera at the Yankee sta dium, their box office appeal assures one of the biggest financial successes since pugllllsra took the country from Old Man Depression. Favorable weather reports, coupled with extraordinary Interest aroused throughout the country by the most Important mixed match In more than a decade of heavyweight activity, boomed the ticket sales. There was little chance of a sellout for a park that can accommodate close to 60.000 but It appeared cer tain more than 60.000 cash customers would contribute nearly $400,000 to see Just how long It will take the youthful negro, Louis, to bring down the 200-pound Italian giant. Dwarfs Title Bout Crowd Such a turnout would dwarf the relatively small crowd, less than 30, 000 paid, which saw James J. Brad dock take the heavyweight title from Max Baer two weeka ago. It would act a new 'high" for non-champion hip boutha since Jack Dempsey flat tened Jae Sharkey In the same arena In 1037. The odds appeared likely to be at least 3 to 1 In favor of Louis when the clana gather at the ringside. There was little Camera money In sight. Broadway shared the general belief of fistic experts and followers-at-large that the huge Italian Is made to or der for the deadly-punching negro. Despite his advantage In alse, reach and experience, Prlmo's qhanoea of avoiding Louis' knockout punch were not considered bright, 8ee Early Ending The belief In well-informed ftstln circles was that Camera, still shell shocked from the terrific beating he t;vk from Max Bner last summer, would be lucky to last half a dozen rounds. Racial rivalry and the fact that the fight occurs at s time when the gov ernments of Italy and Abyssinia are In s dispute has prompted promoter and police to co-operate in taking unusual precautions against the poa- r . 1 w '-i'fi try- 'V"1' X- 'j, - Joe Louis (above), sensational negro heavyweight of Detroit and strong contender for the heavy title, was ready to go against Prlmo Camera, ex-champlon, In a 15-round bout tn New York June 25.

Both principals were kept tinder guard aa a result of unsubstantiated rumora that attempts would be made to "aproach" one camp or the other. The commotion was reminiscent of the old days when no big heavy weight fight was complete without alleged underwold activity, threatened arrests or attempts to put something In somebody's tea.

Members of the 20-30 club who are sponsoring the event, announced that tentative plans are to have the games at Van Bcoyoc field, where the soft ground will probably prove welcome to the backs and shins ot the city dada who are expected to take part. Donkey baseball has become the rage, according to Herb Brown, who Is directing arrangements for the local prevue, since Jack Bartlett in troduced it at the World Fair. He has a herd of well-educated, but characteristically stubborn donkeya. j which have been trained in the rules i and regulations of baseball. Each player Is seated on one ot the beaatA, with the exceptions ol the catcher, pitcher and shorustop. and the results, during the course of an otherwise regulation baseball game, are said to be mlrthquaklng- The game la absolutely, guaranteed to keep one laughing from atart to finish, and especially so when the players are prominent local business men. Negotiations are under way to se lect three teams, possibly from the chamber of commerce, the Elks lodge and the Eagles lodge, one game to be played on each of the three days of the series. Negotiations are also underway to have Mayor Porter pitch the Initial ball. The donkeys are unshow, assuring that no player be hurt, and the long-eared quidrupeds are trained probably much better than the con testants will be In the wiles of the sport. . T NET LONDON.
