All that is worrying the pow erful negro Is how long it will take to explode his 230-pound foe and whether he'll damage his hands in doing It. A damaged hand would be a serious blow to the world's heavyweight champ ion in his "fight-a-month" cam paign. He is scheduled to box Tony Musto in St. Louis April 7 and Billy Conn in New York in June. Louis promised today to knock out Simon with the first punch if possible. He is determined to convince hometown admirers that he's capable of finishing an opponent with a quick, spectacu lar knockout. In previous De troit engagements, Natie Brown and Patsy Perron i each stuck ten rounds with the champion. while he required eleven rounds; to stop Bob Pastor after flooring him four times In the first round.
