then sitting
'''SSss XIII MiIIer out the gist
of their views, I have come
to but one conclusion about
tonight's fight between the
Brown Buddha from Detroit
and the Gargantuan Goliath
from Italy.
I am positive it will be a
butcher. It will be a barbecue IN
every sense of the word. Blood
will flow and terror will reign.
Due For Real Battle
Certainly it will outStrip in
ferocity week before lasts some
what tame encounter between
Baer and Braddock, the nearest
equal in unoffensiveness that I
can recall, being that terrible
Klick- Canzoneri scrap in Wash
ineton for the edification OF
the Shriners, who stayed away
in numbers and proved that
Shriners are pretty smart peo-
pie any way you take them.
It doesn't stand to reason that
the second important heavy
weight fights within dozen
nights can be so barren OF bit
terness as was the Baer and
Braddock championship per.
Torrance, and in so saying l
mean to take nothing away from
our new champion, whose life
story is being presented to you
daily in The Times. He beat
Baer and beat him badly, but
neither man made what you
might call a great stand"
Therefore, it must be in the
books that we are to see a dog
fight tonight. On the one hand,
we find Camera striving desper-
ately, maybe Historically, and
futilely, to get back into the
heavyweight picture in serious
way, after being on the canvas
ii, IL, 10 times, when he lost
his title to Baer last fall.
And on the other hand, we
have an Unconditional prowling
panther who has come along
rapidly since he started his pro-
fessional career July 4 a year
ago. scoring 10 knockoutS, four
decisions and losing not a single
engagement. In all Of these ~
fights, Louis has not met a really
dangerous foe.
Cameras Last Chance
He is meeting a formidable
foe tonight. a man who will
tower over him like the Empire
State building, one whose i'm
mense forearms form a perfect
armor for his body, a man who
has q wallop of his own but is
slow to take advantage of open"
ings, and, too, a man with a lot
Of heart, else he wouldn't have
gotten up off the floor so many
times in the Baer fight.
Each will be fighting for a
chance to stay in the dizzy swirl
which is the upper strata Of the
heavyweight division of that
queer dominion called FiStania.
Should Camera lose, he will
be out of the picture perma-
nently. He has had his chance
twice before. On the first &C.
casion he won the heavyweight
title from Jack Sharkey. The
second occasion, when he was
face to face with a great mo-
ment, he stumbled all over the
ring to lose to Max Baer.
He is rapping at the door once
again, the outer door Of great
ness. He must get Louis out Of
the way in order to gain the in
ner precincts where James
Braddock sits, the monarch OF
the heavyweight house.
One Of These Things
The same throne room is also
the goal Of Joe Louis, the
sphinxlike, lynXlike killer who
goes about his work with the
GOODNESS, design and premedita'
ton of a kidnaper. Tonight he
is looking to commit the per-
feet fight. He is relentless, fear
less, deathly! If he fails, at 81
he still has time to stage a
comeback, but not so with Car
nera. It's do or die with him.
And so this figures to be one
Of those fights which will have
the men tearing off their ties
and the women screaming
stop that fight"
I hope it is that kind OF a
battle. The game needs one and
besides, if I may bring in a per-
Sonel viewpoint, when I go say.
age, I like to see a bull fight,
not a June, WRdding march.
So it will be something more
than a light haircut and a
shave tonight up at Yankee
Stadium. The man who falterS
or hesitateS is in for a savage
beating. In the jungles they
never let their victims up. They
have no use for a shrinking.
covering adversary. No pity
no compassion.
