NEW YORK, June 26. (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."

Fight critics were unanimous In
ranking Louis as the hardest hitter
since Dempsey. 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.

TO BATTLE
WOLFE
Sailor Franx. one-time champion
grappler of the navy, who wax sched
uled to meet Lea Wolfe of Texas In
the main event of Thursday night's
wrestling card at the Armory, was
rendered hore de combat by Pete Bel
castro In a recent bout at Belllng
ham, according to word received here
today, and Belcaatro, who has ben
releasel from a contract up north,
will meet the supple southerner here
Instead, Promoter Mack Lllard an
nounced today.
LI Hard stated that Fran, one of the
ring's greatest meanlea, tried to get
tough with Belcaatro, which Is a
thing very few gmpplers have suc
ceeded In doing. BelcaMro, accord
ing to reports, unleashed a drop-kick
that hoisted the tattooed terror out
of the ring, causing him to suffer
broken arm In the fall.
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.
Herman Olson of Sweden Is slated
to tussle in the 46-mlnut semi-final
with Al Stecher, clever Canadian
wrestler, promising a bout with fire-
worKs as well as speed. Both these
contestant proved that thev like ac
