Possible Hand Injury
Louis Big Concern
Fighting Simon
Handlers Differ on How
Many Rounds Chomp
Will Need for K. O.
Rv the Associated Press.

Pv the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 20.-Joe Louis
has no doubt as to the outcome of
his battle with ponderous Abe
Simon, set for 20 rounds or less, to-
morrow night.
All that is worrying the powerful
Negro is how long it will take to
explode his 250-pound foe and
whether he'll damage his hands in
doing 1t.
A damaged hand would be SER
ious blow to the world heavyweight
champion in his "fght-a-month"
campaign. He is scheduled to box
Tony Music 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 con-
vince hometown admirers that he's
capable of finishing an opponent
with quick, spectacular knockout.
In previous Detroit engagements,
Matte Brown and Patsy Perroni each
stuck 10 rounds with the champion,
while he required II to stop Bob
Pastor after flooring him four times
in the first round.
The champions handlers have no
fear over his ability to triumph, but
differ over the question of how many
rounds will be required. Trainer Jack
Blackburn feels that Louis can't miss
in three rounds. Co-managers John
Roxborough and Julian Black said
the finish depends on how much
punishment Simon can absorb.
