BOXING WORLD
New York. June 26—The bell rang
and they walked out
Louis feinted a right to the bell}
and then threw a left hook that slit
Camera’s mouth so badly it bled from
both comers.
You knew it was all over.
That one punch told you—told yoi
better than all the thousands of words
spewed from the press agent's type
writer—that the dice were coming
up for Joe Louis, and that Prime
Camera’s number was going up—
maybe with the next punch, maybe
in the next round, but surely going
up
Piimo’s number went up in the
sixth. Coming out of a clinch,
Louis tossed a full right that caught
Primo flush on the chin. Like a pup
pet whose strings had been cut, the
giant Italian buckled at the knees,
swayed for a moment, and then sort
of poured to the canvas.
Bill Duffy yelled from Primo’s cor
ner:
“Take nine!”
But Primo was past hearing, past
thinking All experience was knock
ed out of him, and he rose without a
count.
I switched my eyes to Louis
As Camera rose, slowly, Louis, thf
same inscrutable mask on his face
shuffled in for the kill
He threw a punch. Was it a righi
or a left? I don’t know. It startec
too swiftly. It landed high on Car
r.era’s cheekbone and the Italian sank
to the floor like a shot-through ele
phant. Out of his head, he was up
as the time-keeper tolled, “Two-uh!”
Watching him, bleeding, glassy and
rubber-kneed, you wished he’d stay
down for good, for you knew what
awaited him.
Louis, as cold as ice, met him com
ing up and nailed him with a left.
You saw the blow this time, for he
started it from left seld Camera
hit the deck again. As he crumpled
on the canvas, his comer called
again:
“Take it all!”
But he didn’t hear them- Gamely
he clambered up, this time to run
into another left hook so vicious it
actually bounced him off the floor
and into a standing position. Louis
was drawing a bead on his chin when
Referee Donavan wisely stepped in
and waved him to his comer.
As Louis walked back to his comer
—his face still set in that cold, cruel
east—you knew that all that separat
| ed him from the championship of the
world were signatures on a contract—
. his signature and Jimmy Braddock’s
signature.
Against Louis, Braddock wouldn’t
have a chance. Neither would Baer
nor Schmeling. He’d chill them all
Joe Louis was unmarked as he left
the ring at Cankee Stadium after his
spectacular six-round kayo victory
over Camera.
The giant Italian’s lips were badly
cut and swollen and one eye was com
pletely closed.
Fight cr.tics and sports writers
were unanimous in hailing Joe Louis
as a coming heavyweight champion.
Their comment follows:
Ed Frayne, New York American—
“Louis is possibly the greatest heavy
weight boxing has produced. He hits
as hard as Dempsey and boxes as
we!' as Corbett and is as fine a ring
general as Tunney”
James Dawson. New York Times—
“Louis is the next man to fight for
1 the title ”
Trevor Wignall, London Express—
“Louis is the top man.”
Warren Brown, Chicago Herald
Examiner—“He is the only active
heavyweight today.”
Frank Graham. New York Sun—
“The best since Dempsey.”
Bill Cunningham, Boston Post—
“Louis can whip ’em all in one ring. ”
Jimmy Powers, New York News—
“Lcuis is the hardest hitter since
Dempsey and the best heavyweight I
have ever seen.”
Giantlar.d Rice, New York Sun—
“Right a: the top. A great fighter.”
B-ll Corum. New York Journal—
‘ rank Joe Louis first and Max Baer
second
Dan Pa 'ker, New Tork Mirror-—
“Louis is the tops ”
Caswell Adams. New York Herald
Tribune—"He’s so far ahead of the
ether heavyweights there’s no com
parison ”
After that hectic first round, when
J Lems proved to all those present, that
he really had two hands full of dyna
mite. boxing experts and connoisseurs
of fighting men realized that here
was a man among men. With two
sharpshocting fists he blasted all
doubts in the minds of his critics
about his ability to hit and further
proved that he could take all Camera
had to offer -without even flinching.
Harlem had its biggest moment
since it became the capital of the
Negro world when Joe Louis whipped
Primo Camera Tuesday. The huge
and colorful crowds caused old-timers
to scratch their heads and marvel at
the interest aroused through the up
ward climb and victory of this stolid
but handsome youth from the West, j

Hampton Institute, Vt., June
27.—-Leigh Richmond Miner,
builder of beauty in grounds and
total landscape at Hampton In
stitute, died in Dixie Hospital

Most simple, but beautiful and
impressive funeral services were

by Rev. Camille A. Cazeaud*

pallbearers being. Messrs. Robert
Ogden Purves, Wilfred E. Carter,
E. F. Wewins, C. E Chevene, E.

He came to Hampton in 1898
as art teacher, being in continu
ous service in that capacity until
1921 when he became director of
applie dart, with general over
sight of landscape architecture at
the Institute. The hosts of per
sons who have often and in so
many places expressed apprecia
tion of the beauty of Hampton’s
grounds, have been paying un
conscious tribute to the artistry
and sense of perfection of this
quiet, efficient worker who not
only wrote poetry but transmuted
it into lovely arrangements of
walks, buildings, bowers and
stately trees.
He was retired in 1933; but
Hampton’s campus will be a per
petual memorial of the work he
did here.
