The Washington times., 1935-06-24

Mrs. William R a n d o Up n
Hearst is chairman.
The Free Milk Fund has
staged some of the outstanding
New York fights of the decade
and is invariably successful IN
its efforts to create good sport
and plenty of good milk for the
underprivileged of New York
How could it help meeting Such
fortune when two master minds
like Bill Farnsworth and Damon
Runyon make the matches and
practically promote the bouts
for this very humanitarian
cause?
Tomorrow's newest edition OF
Milk Fund venture will be none
the less auspicious by virtue OF
the fact that great fellow with
a big heart, Mike Jacobs, has
Joined FarnsWorth and Runyon
in their joint roles OF fronting
for the Louis-Carnera fight.
House About 100000
Here in New York they are
talking of a 100000 house for
tomorrow's fistic extravaganza,
and such conversation is not
idle chatter. The gate will be
so near that mark that it won't
amount to a pint of milk, one
way or the other.
The world of leather larrup-
ing knows far more about Primo
Camera, who I do not think
am sighting when refer to
him as the "other fellow" in the
Louis fight, than it does OF the
chocolate-coated Detroit dyna-
mite drop.
Carnera has been up and
down the fistic ladder in a span
of five years, whereas Louis IS
certainly a newcomer of less
than one years experience, and
therefore it is of him that I
wish to sing today, more than
of the giant Italian.
Louis has not the color, and
I am not trying to be facetious,
that was the great Dempsey'S,
but he has the wallop, and that
is Just important in fight
and also carries a big pull at
the turnStiles.
Has neadest Pan
Joe Louis has possibly the
deadest pan of any of the un-
inspiring physiognomies OF all
recent sports history. His face
is as blank as a Buddha's. You
talk about Poker Face Helen
Wills; you talk of immobile
Carl Hubbell, Paavo Nurmi,
Luis Firpo, Tom Zachary,
Sammy Rice, Charley Ruffing,
Hank Leiber, Glenn Cunning
ham-Joe Louis is a cheerful
cuss compared to any of these
blin king unconcerned OF
sports.
However. you will note that
those names have carved the
records in athletics, so Joe
Louis comes to us with one OF
the great attributes of a win
ner. His clay countenance is
inscrutable. From it, it is i'm
possible to decode of what he
is thinking. Cool, calm, eau
tious and calculating, Joe Louis
will be anything except an open
book to the towering italian he
will be facing tomorrow.
And this Brown Buddha OF
the resin, based on his actual
ring record as well as his train
ing Seige for tomorrow's fracas,
has everything the doctor Or
dered to carry him where he
is going. He can box. His gun
cotton wallop is unquestioned,
as his 18 professional victims by
the knockout route will Nattest.
He has won four other fights
since deserting the amateurs,
and lost none. AS a Simon-pure
Louis won 43 K. O'S, seven de-
cisions, and lost four fights.
He Can Take It
You might say from such a
record that he may not be able
to take it, but if you go a little
back into his early days as a
fighter, you will find several in
stances of gameness and rallies
that mark his as truly great
fighting heart.
In his first public appearance
when he was a green, awkward
novice, Joe Louis got up off the
floor seven times in two rounds
to lace Johnny Miller in the
third and final round of light
heavyweight amateur bout.
From there, nursing a fractured
knuckle on his left hand and
flock of boils under each arm,
he went to the A. A. U. cham
pionshipS a year ago last April
to score three knockoutS m his
