June The search for fistic fire-works leads tomorrow to the" Yankee stadium, the biggest boxing crowd of the year will see if the youthful cannon cracker from Detroit, Joe Louis, has enough explosive power to blast through the ponderous defense -of Prlmo Carnera.

Acclaimed the most terrifllc puncher. in heavyweight since Jack Dempsey, Louis will attempt to cut down his opponent on the spot where the celebrated Manassa, mauler flattened Jack Sharkey eight years ago. The even money that the "Brown Bomber" would do it well inside the limit of 15 rounds, but a good share of the experts at least will be convinced only when they see it, done. Louis will make his metropolitan debut after a. sensational "buildup." Only 21.

years old and barely a year out of amateur ranks, the Detroit negro has compiled an amazing record in the Middle West. He has scored 18 knockouts in 22 professional fights. He Is reputed to have had every opponent he has ever met, amateur and pro, on the floor at least once with his short, deadly punches. He to the pressure under fire; however, so that it remains to be how effective he will be against a fighter of Carnera's size, courage and staying powers. No one expects Camera, for all his tremendous bulk, to bowl over the youthful negfo.

Primo's punch Is strictly of the barn-storming the Italian giant no longer Is lightly regarded. Fast for his size and exceeding l'y despite his tendency to become flustered by a heavy attack, Camera has developed an effective left hand to support his bear-like tactics at close range. It remains to be seen whether he can-forestall another such battering as he took atMax Baer's hands a year ago. If the fignt goes the limit and he hasn't be.en on the floor too often, Camera should have an excellent chance to win on points. The victor will be matched In September with Max Baer.
