Brown Bomber Draws Record Crowd in Louis Carnera Fight

Louis, 21, seen as the era’s top drawing card, echoed earlier Dempsey fame while promoter Mike Jacobs eyed a Baer rematch and possible future foes. Braddock attended, with talk of a title shot and the color line debate fading as Louis’s star rose.
