FOR RING NATURAL

(By RINGSIDER)

A Crowd rivalling that that graced the Tunney- Dempsey bout in 1927 is expected to see Max Baer, "wild wolf of 'California," challenge Primo Carnera, Italian "Man Mountain" and holder of the title, for the world's heavyweight boxing championship at Madison Square's outdoor bowl at Long Island City to-night.

The fight, considered to be a ring natural, is not expect ed to last the 15 rounds, as the confident Max Baer is not thought to be in it enough condition to attempt a points de cision. Baer's only chance, and his father says it is a good one, is lo secure an early knock out against the "Ambling Alp," who has pounded Paolino Uzcudun and Tommy Loughran almost to insensibility in his last two bouts.
