(AP) The ringing echoes of the fistic dynamite set off by Joe Louis In the midst of the greatest fight crowd In five years reverberated today with the convic tion that the "Brown Bomber" Is well on the road to becoming one of the greatest heavyweight punchers his rare has produced. The 21-year-old Detroit negro, who signalled his metropolitan debut by coring a spectacular six-round knock out victory over giant Prlmo Camera Jut night In the Yankee stadium, unquestionably stamped himself the biggest drawing card pugilism has de veloped Blnce the boom days of Jack Pempsey's prime. In setting reminiscent of the game's palmiest days, with ft crowd of 60,000 yelling with old-time lusti ness for the "kill," Louis slugged the 260-pound Italian Into a helpless, tot tering mass and Justified the gaudiest predictions of his backers. I'p and Down Camera was knocked down three times for short counts four, four and three seconds before Referee Ar i thur Donovan stopped the fight with I only 28 seconds of the sixth round left. The defenseless giant was bleeding from the mouth and was thoroughly hell-shocked at the end of a one sided match. It undoubtedly marked the end of Prlmo'a career as a factor In the heavyweight picture. Promoter Mike Jacobs, one-time as Beclate of Tex Rtckard, promptly an i nounced Louis will be matched for 15 rounds with Max Baer, former heavyweight champion, In New York this fall. Louis told Jacobs he would be witl ing to fight once a month. The pro moter said he would seek a match In late July or early August. "We may try to match Louis with Jack Doyle, the Irish heavyweight who made his New York debut with i knockout this week," said Jacobs. ' The fight world acclaimed the sen sational negro youth as the latest successor to such dusky greats as Peter Jackson, Bam Langford and Jackson, only negro to hold the world heavyweight title and ft witness to the triumph of the "Chocolate Clout cr" last night. James J. Braddock, newly crowned king of the heavies, also was a spec tator. It remains to be seen whether the "Brown Bomber" fights his way to the position of logical contender by the time Braddock fat willing to consider title defense, some time next year. Braddock Agrenhle "Braddock will not draw the color line," said Joe Gould, the cham pion's manager, "but It's too early to talk about a championship match with Louis or any other contender. Jimmy will be ready to tackle the best man they can produce." aid IDT j. got. r . ... nav tor nave - - MT. Keuss.

The compared him to Gene Tunney from the standpoint of his boxing skill, footwork and ability to seize openings. Camera cleared up one obvious point by re marking with emphasis that Louis hits "much, much harder" than Baer, Baer floored Camera 1 0 tl mes against three knockdowns for Louis, but the Italian giant rallied suffl cently a year ago to last 11 rounds with the Calltornlan. There was never any doubt about the outcome, in either fight, but Loula performed a much more workmanlike and effect ive Job. Louis established mastery in the first round with a few short but stag gering blows, one of which opened ft gash In Prlmo's mouth. The negro did not land ft knock down punch In this or the succeed ing four rounds. He stalked the Ital ian, boxing warily for openings, shift ing his attack from head to body, but always had command. Hwlft Climax The climax came swiftly In the sixth. Louis floored Camera with a. terrific left hook for the first time. Prlmo, thoroughly dazed, pulled him self erect at the count of four, only two be met with another two-fisted blast. He tumbled weirdly, started to get up but lost his balance and fell to one side. , Again he was up after four seconds, too far gone to realize the advantage of taking longer count. Helpless and glasy-eyed, the giant wobbled to one side of the ring, where a terrific right-hand smash sent him spinning to the canvas again. This time he regained his feet after only three seconds. Blood dripped from his mouth, his eyes were glassy, his hands dangling. Referee Dono van unhesitatingly stepped In to pre vent the negro from launching an other attack. At the finish Louis showed no more emotion than while sitting calmly in his comer before the first bell. From start to finish "Dead Pan Joe" never changed his boyish, serious expres sion. Camera Shows Nothing Where the negro was a picture of fighting ease and confidence through out. Camera was wild and obviously apprehensive from the outset. Except for a few weak Jabs, he did not show anything resembling a punch. The victory marked the 19th knock out for Loula In only 23 professional fights. Scarcely less sensational than Louis' victory was the size of the crowd, biggest attracted to the heavyweight wars since Jack Sharkey lost on a foul to Max Schmellng In a title match here in 1930. Promoter Jacobs set the paid at tendance clone to 67.000. but there were actually close to 70.000 specta tors In the Big American league ball park, Including the holders of thou sands of complimentary ticket and about 1500 police who quickly dis covered talk of possible racial dis turbances was a false alarm. The groaa receipts, 340,000, fell be low expectations, but marked a new high for a non-title match in the Iftat five year. They far surpassed the "gate" for the Baer-Braddnck championship bout. The net receipts were set at 277,000. Buddy Baer, 239, Livermore, Cal.. brother of former Champion Maxle. knocked out Frank Wotanskl, 205, Uttca, N. Y., In the first round of one of the preliminaries to the big fight. Scores Yesterday Coaat League. Mlaalona, B; Sacramento, 4. San Fnuiclaoo. 4: Seattle, 3. Los Angelea, 6; Portland, 8.

Belcaatro was contracted for sev eral appearances In the north, but LMlArd aueceeded In releasing him for a time, and Pete Is scheduled to ar rive in Medford tonight. Wolfe Is already here, ready and waiting for. and promising to take some of the scrap out of the belligerent Italian. Llllard was delighted with the ar rangement, with regrets for SAllor Franz's mishap, for Belcaatro la one of the grcatcat drawing cards ever brought to Medford. When pitted against a man like Wolfe, who proved weji-mgns unconquerable and ex tremely popular in his bout here last week, the wild Italian should have plenty of trouble connecting with hla ramoujs double leg punches.
