 New York, June 21-Luis Angel Firpo and Cmdr. Jack Dempsey, who in 1923 staged the most thrill ing brawl in boxing history, have teamed up to direct the ring des- tinies of Abel Cestac-a big, brawny Argentine White Hope"
 Cestac, who arrived quietly in New York recently, begins active boxing preparations today at Still mans gymnasium, where he has been conditioning in semi-secrecy for the past three weeks.
 Before Dempsey went west on his latest bond-selling tour, he turned Cestac over to Max WaXman, as manager, and Whitey Bimstein, as trainer. WaXman, who formerly pi- loted champions Joe Dundee, Vince Dundee, Harry Jeffre and Kid Will Hams, handles all of Dempsey's bus mess affairs. Bimstein is one of the nations best known trainers.
 Waxman said today, we expect Cestac to make his first United States fight about the second week in July. We won't pick his first op- ponent until We see how Abel shapes up in training. At Dempsey's request, we have tried to avoid pub licity in connection with Cestac. Dempsey believes that a fighter should hammer out his own story in the ring.
 We don't want to hail this boy as another Wild Bull of the Pam pas until we find out just how we'll he can fight All we know is that Firpo claims Cestac is the best young heavy ever developed in Ar gentina. Firpo is confident that he will be re ady to knock out Joe Louis in another year or so."
 Firpo, now 52 and a millionaire cattle baron in the Argentine province of Buenos Aires, sent a representative - Horacio Estlo - to the United Stats with Cesto. Estol, Buenos Aires newspaper man, promised today that American fight fans will be surprised when they see Cestac in action.
 Estol. said, he is terrific puncher With either hand, and strong as bull. He is big and awk- ward, but so was Firpo. He is not a smart boxer-he is a fighter, who goes in to tear his man to pieces. He is unbeaten in 56 amatuer and eight professional bouts. He scored 39 knockouts against amateurs and five against professionals. He can punch and he is tough-never been on tn floor yet"
 Estol brought Cestac down to Dempseys restaurant and intro duced him to reporters. The Argen- tine heavy is 24-a big, black haired. handsome chap who looks like an athlete. He packs 230 pounds of brawn on siX-foot- three inch frame. He has long arms and big. powerful hands. He does not speak Englih.
 Through Estol as interpreter, Cestac explained that he is farmer of Basque French nationality. He was raised on his fathers farm at Chivilcoy in Buenos Aires province Firpo became interested in him five years ago when Cestac was doing his year of military service. required of all Argentine youths. Firpo taught him the fundamentals of boxing and

ferriss Beats Every A. L. Club

Boston, June 21.-(UP)-The Red SoX freshman, Dave (Boo) Ferriss goes after his tenth victory of the season today and if he succeeds in beating the New York Yankees his club will move into second place in the American League.
 Ferriss had rough going in his last time out six days ago when it took him IA innings to down the Washington Senators 5 to f. His only defeat came at the hands of the Tanks a week ago Sunday.
 For the first time in his Amer ican League career, Ferriss will be pitching to catcher other than Bob Garbark. Garbark sustained a badly bruised thumb Tuesday and will be unable to catch for several days. Fred Walters will catch Fer riss in today's game. Walt Dubiel will hurl for the Yanks.
 The Sox had planned to use Fer riss in yesterdays doubleheader - postponed because of rain-so that he would be available for next Sun days contest. Now Ferris probably won't pitch again after today until the opening game against the White SoX in Chicago Wednesday.
 The freshman hurler has yielded only 15 runs in ST innings-an average of about run and half per game. He has hurled four shutouts and beaten every club in the league.

CARNERA LONGS
 FOR NEW YORK;; HATES NAzIS
PAGE SIXTEEN
BY ROBERT L. MEYER United Press Staff Correspondent)


 Gorizia, Italy, June 21.-(UP)- Former world heavyweight cham pion Primo Camera, is anxious to get back to New York's Broadway as any homesick C.. l., would like to get his hammy hands on a few Naz.s, take a few belts at Billy Conn in an exhibition and set sail for America, he said today.
 "Da Preem," broke except for the part of his ring winnings that he left in charge of brother in New ark, N. J., planes the Naz.s for most of hSi ills and when he talks about them, he br;stles with hate.
 Recalling in halting English how the Nazis stole his fortune and took food away from his babies, he left the definite impression that it will be bad for any of them who may cross his path.
 Ut was a year ago this month when I stood in the door ob my home at Sequals, Italy, staring into the nuzzles of guns pointed at me by four German soldiers" he said. Camera said he had gone that | day to withdraw some money from | the bank to buy Italian property Germans, he said, saw him draw out the money and followed him home.
 T got my money-one million six hundred thousand lire-(about S5o,- GOO in American money at that time) and I went into the house to my wife, my son Umberto, my little daughter, who was only 16- months old then,' he said Soon 1t came, this knock on the door and I know what it is.
 My wife ran to me and put the little girl in my arms, then opened the door," he said. There were these four Germans with guns. They came in and pointed the guns al my family. I would still like to kill them with my hands and I could do 1t because I was so mad. But what could do? They would kill my family. So I must give them the million six-hundred thousand lire My wife says so. They came back many times after that and they al- ways want money or food. Some times they take two or five thousand lire and they are always hungry
 The 240-pound man-mountaln has no idea of returning to the ring thinks he could determine just what chance Conn would have in a heavyweight title bout with Sgt. Joe Louis, the champion, if he went about thre grounds with Pittsburgh Billy in an exhibition. Camera was knocked out by Louis in six rounds in 1885 before the Brown Bomber became champion.
 N. Y. His" Town
 After that he says it will be 'tfe good old U. s. A." for him again.
 Boy, I don't care what I do just so I get to New York he said That is my town. They love me there. In 1888 I came to Italy only to SC emy mother and marry my self a wife. Then the war trappec Tie in here Boy, wish I had broke both legs just before I stepped on that boat in New York.

St. Joseph's 9
 PorochioI kinqs

One hit in two games was all young Dick Januska, St. Joseph's Parochial sohoolboy pitcher gave Sts. Peter and Paul batters, but the best he could get was a split; yes- terday's TO shutout winning the Parochial championship and a chance to play for the city title next Monday night against Mary Abbott, winners of the Grammar league crown.
 Six runs in the third inning was more than enough to win for St.. Joseph's as the east end school batters could do nothing with Jan uskas pitching. Dwyer was removed for Oulette in the third inning when the former gave up four walks, a single and made a wild pitch al- lowing four runs. Two more runs scored on a single off Oulette by Miklenevich. The winners got an- other run in the fifth after two outs, though it was not needed. Geary | spoiled Januska'S second successive no-hit effort with single in the fourth innin. Oulette pitched well after the third, but the damage had been done and s. Petes could not hit or score as the game went on.
 St. Joseph's has won 13 of IA games this season under the tute- lage of Rev. Joseph Radzevich. On Monday at Hamilton Park they take part in the anual War Stamp game to settle the schoolboy champion ship of aWterbury. Score:

arranged for his first amateur match in November, 194O. He is single, and a living athlete who never has tasted wine or even coffee.
 The newcomer is built like a fighter, with broad, sloping shoul- ders and a torso that tapers nicely His features are unmarked by bat tie scars and he has no caulif1oWer ears.
 Estol said to the reporters, when this boy makes good; when he fights an important bout in Madison Square Garden-Firpo will fly tc New York to see the fight. Maybe Firpo and Dempsey will work il, his corner that night. That would be quite an event.

Sundays Slate
 Washington Hills vs Aviglianese
 A. c.
 Tribune A. c. vs Brooklyns
 Westover Flyers vs All Stars.
 NOTES The Tribunes are monarchs of all they survey at the moment-fve wins and no defeats.
 Their 2-1, 14-inings triumph over Roy Murphy's Eagles, was one of the tightest and most interesting games of the past several seasons.
 Speaking of interesting perform ances, there hasn't been anything better to look at in the league this season than Bridgeport Chuck AL thausen's no-hitter as he pitched the Brooklyn to a 10-1 win over Hamden.
 Atlhausen faces Packy Sheas Tribes Sunday in a postponed game. Brooklyn A. c. followers who have n't been to the park in years are turning out in droves for the ap- pearances of Billy Magro's surpris- ing club.
 One of the big surprises of the season is the play of Joe Joyce of the Eagles, Joe is not only hitting well but is also doing some nifty fielding. His sensational stab of a clothes-line drive off the bat of Tex Rudi, Tribe first sacker, was a sight to behold.
 Bill Stanton, veteran city loop umpire, made his season debut in the Tribes-Eagles classic" and per- formed in his usual fine style. With Bill, Leno Castaldo and Jimmy Crichton to rely on, the league is better fixed than any circuit in the state for first class arbitrers. The fans are amazed at the cali bre of ball being dished out at the park this campaign. Charley Beck man Schick, just back from a long sojourn on the west coast, says that there is no sandlot circuit in Cali 1 fornia which can equal the local loop for class.
 Speaking of class, keep an eye on Tetrault, Eagles shortstop. The
