CARNERAWINS IN RING FIGHT Chicago, Feb. . 1 (UR)~Forty- . seven seconds of fighting last i night enabled Primo Camera, tho t Italian Behemoth, to make a huge success of his ring engagements In America, but the Illinois Boxing Commission was in doubt today as to whether he should Do I paid for his work. In that breath of battling, II Primo had Elzear Rioux on thfloor five times, before the latter I took the final count, much to the ;disgust of the 17,000 fans who i paid almost $60,000 to see th? 1 ’ tlght ' ( Camera bounded out of his cor- [ tier, let out a few grunts like the . preliminary "chugs” of a railroad ; engine, ami started throwing . right punches. Rioux wont to the floor, but not in a manner to ■ convince the lillinois commission > that lie had been hit hard enough Ito be counted out. As the Canadian's head bounced i off the canvas for the last time, I Fred Gardner, member of th" j commission, arose from bis first | | row ringside seat and inquired, i heatedly as to what way keeping! , Rioux on the floor. He said the ■ purses of both fighters would b n j withheld pending investigation. Previous to the knockout, Rioux had been on the floor four times. Two of those falls were taken without the formality of a blow, in the opinion of ringside fans. The Canadian went to his knees twice as the round started in this manner. Camera, surprisingly fast for a man of his size (he weighed 269 pounds as compared with Rioux’s 210) was all over his opponent at the clang of the bell. After Rioux went down the first two times, the fans began to wonder and shouted their disapproval. The Canadian got up and ran! straight into a left hook which floored him again. He took a two. count, got up, and met a right cross. This time he seemed partly dazed but was up at a count of nine. Camera waded in and finally land: ed a right cross, which seemed hard enough to knock out anyone, Rioux spun around twice and hi, J the floor. That is the story of the fight. Ap-] parently the commission wasn't satisfied with it. for it will hear testimony regarding the battle at its meeting next Tuesday. The order holding up the purses affects some SIB,OOO for Camera, lioux was paid a small flatguar antee.The ultimate action of the commission is conjecturable. ' Chairman John V. Clinnin, whose word has been obeyed in commission decisions, had nothing to say regarding the fight. The testimony at the Tuesday meeting is expected to decide his attitude. The concensus of the fans was that anyone's money's worth was offered in the semi-windup, wherein King Tut defeated Bruce Flowers in ten rounds. Tut floored Flowers twice in the seventh. — o DpsklßoF. °h. i The New Jerusalem Angels, Mr. Crowds, went down to Kendallville last night and captured the Devils, horns, pitch-forks and fire and returned with another victory. And down around the south center of the county they still think Decatur tears Berne. The decisive ifefeat that the Curtismen handed Kendallville should convince Buck and other sport writets that Decatur at least has a chance, to beat the West Suburb. Tonight’s game, Decatur vs. North Manchester at Decatur high school gymnasium will start at 8:15 o'clock. The Commodores will go to New Haven tonight for a game with the Bull Dogs. The game will be broadcast play-by-play over loud speakers at Baker’s restaurant, M. and O. Confectionery, Green Kettle and the Daily Democrat office. The game will start at about 8:15 o’clock. Berne Bears, coached by Sonny Johnson, kicked a great big hole in the dope bucket by defeating the Krippled Kirkland Kangaroos last night 17-15. Berne sewed up

I tin* game in tlH* last 25 seconds by two free throws. J Kirkland made one more field goal than Berm* was able.to shove through the net. It makes a game each for the two teams, and wouldn't the finals of the Bluffton sectional be a great place to play iff the third game cf the series?

The Yellow Jackets should win from North Manchester without a great amount of trouble. • Decatur high school Reserves will meet Monroe high school in the curtain-raiser tonight.

Four weeks from tonight there II ' lie 64 of the best left in the anI nual state tussel for the title. The Curtismen should be among those 64 teams. Os course they have to beat Central, North, and South Side and New Haven—and There'll be some tough moments in those games —We're banking on their ability tho'.
