CARNERA WINS FOURTH SCRAP SI. hulls, Feb. 12.-—(U.R> -Primo Camera. the big Italian boy who pushes them down, had his fourth | American knockout to his credit I today. For all the world like a St. Bern ard dog cuffs a poodle, the 280-1 pound heavvweight swung his right I at Buster Martin's chin here last night BO s-conds after the beginning of the second round of their scheduled ten round bout. The Tulsa, Okla., policeman’s hea I cracked on the door. He was out more than a minute. A crowd of approximately 12,000 saw the “human bull” from Italy perform in the same arena where prize hulls and cattle paraded in the National Dairy Show last fall. The exhibit was brief and brought Camera's total time in prize tight rings since he arrived in America to somewhere around eight minutes. Camera had a 72-pound advantage over his opponent. The Italian weighed in at 281 (shoes and trousers counted) and Martin at 209*4Oddly enough. Martin went for Camera at the hell, succeeding in tapping his opponent with several blows to the body that didn't jar the colossus. A cuff or two front the European’s oversize gloves and Buster slowed down and stayed that way. Camera’s face wreathed in a grin in the clinches, as he looked over the top of the policeman’s head. Martin looked to he out on his feet at the end of the round. They clinched as the second began and then Camera quit toying. He swung his right at Martin's jaw and contacted. The Oklahoman was out cold, flat on his back and at the end of the count. Camera helped carry him to his corner. Camera trotted up to the ring 'ooking I ke a six-day bicycle rider, with a green cap on his head and a l : ght green sleeveless sweater covering his torso. Boos came from the crowd and his smile shitted to a glum scowl. Camera's share of the gate was 35 per cent, approximately $14,000, while Martin was paid $1,350. Camera left here today for Hot Springs, Ark., where he wil give an exhibition tonight. Friday he is scheduled to meet Jim Sigman. South American heavyweight, in an eight round bout at Memphis. o — H ~ ; Reports from Decatur high school today are to the effect that all tickets have been sold for the Decatur-West Suburb basketball game. A hundred tickets were sent to Bluffton and word from that city is that every ticket has been sold. My those West Suburbers like punishment. Tomorrow night the Commodores meet Central Catholic of Toledo —Indications point to a big crowd—it’s the only net game in the county and the way the Toledo netmen have been going this season, means the Commodores will have to play 40-mlnutes of banketball. Friday night Kirkland meets New Haven at Kirkland. For the first time in several weeks, the Kirkland team and fans have actually showed signs of life. About everyone in the vicinity of the Kangaroo camp is talking “Beat New Haven” and while it's a big assignment—Baskethawls believes the Kangaroos have a real chance to win. Coach Bill Bryan has two players that could make most any team in the county— Dettinger and Helmrich have showed a lot of ability all season. Os course their chief • past-time is making it tough for Berne, but the whole Kangaroo team is out afetr a dog next Friday night. Then Friday night here at Decatur. Roger Swaim is leading a ! hundred Bluffton fans over to Decatur to siing hymns, while the West Suhurberß take a lesson in basketball. Coach Herb Curtis reported today that the Yellow Jackets all were in fine condition for the tilt.

Word was received from Arthur the great Trester, I.H. S. A. A. guardian-supreme-chief dictator at Berne today that Woodrow Huffman of Hartford township is eligible to play on the Berne basketball team at once. There’s just one thing wo can't {understand. Huffman played for Hartford town-hip on the Friday | night, after he left school nt 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Then on the following Monday, he enrolled lat Berne What was his status ‘Friday night and Saturday of that particular week-end? We're thoroughly convinced however that Huffman came to Berne of his own free will and without any undue influence. Congratulations Berne on getting one of the best basketball players in Adams county— Congratulations Woodrow, for being named after the greatest President the country ever had. The Adams Theatre will broadcast the Decatur-West Suburb net game Friday night. Mr. I. A. Kalver, one of the Jackets best boosters has an nounced that he will run only one show Friday night, starting at 6:30 o'clock—and ending when the big game starts. The regular admission will be charged for the show, and the broadcast will be an added attraction. The West Suburbers are getting all worked up over the Friday night game. They get worked up »a ily over there—For Decatur it’s hist another basketball game—for Bluffton it's a big stone wall, that on’y one team has been able to penetrate this season. The Curtismen, this year, have showed more fight and more basketball ability than any Decatur high school team, since Basketbawls used to go to Porter's Hall with Johnnie Joseph to root for Lose. Peterson, Vancil, Vail, Tyndall and that outfit of players. We remember the Bluffton-Deca-tur rivalry in those days — when Decatur's entire police force of one man, would have to accompany the Bluffton team down to the Cloverleaf station and insist that the agent get a special order to ston the night train at the West Suburb. But Bluffton has grown some physically (if not mentally) since then and now the Suburb has a daily paper with a sport writer, of no little ability who also attempts to officiatebasketball games without no little ability—and the village also boasts other famous citizens such as “The Two Famous Reds,” who conduct a pant shop across from the court house; And a beautiful little fellow by the name of Simmons who sells insurance (occasionally) and plays golf and other things— And a slim, skinny guy by the name of Roger who helps keep the annle of rivalry between the two cities ripe by once in a while taking over the reigns of Buck in the column —W. J. Krick, dean of men of Decatur high school asked us to say that it is no fau’t of his that the above described fellow is his brother-in-law. And. all these and many more have ordered tickets for the game Friday night—so if the game i n’t as good as most of the games, von'll see one of the greatest circus side-shows ever gathered under one roof. Get there early folks, and watch the B'uffton crowd come in if you want a real treat. and— COMMODORES BEAT C. C. OF TOLEDO. and— YELLOW JACKETS BEAT BLUFFTON BADLY. Hack Wilson Wins Damage Suit Verdict Chicago. Feb. 12. — (U.R) — Hack Wilson, Chicago Cubs outfielder and the National league's leading strikeout victim, was justified when he climbed into a box seat to take a few pokes at a fan who suggested he bench himself to strengthen the team, a jury in superior court here ruled yesterday. Edward Young, a milkman, was denied damages of $20,000 he sought from the Cub star because of injuries Young alleged he received when Wilson planted a few blows on his jaw. Young admitted at the hearing that he had a few seidels of beer before the game but claimed that for his "good natured razzing" he received a wrenched back and a cut Up.

BALLPLAYERS 1 PLAN TRAINING New York, Feb. 12. (U.R) With J advance guards of a number of major league baseball squads pnek- | Ing up today, preparatory to mov ,ing southward and westward to the training camps of spring, the subject of ' hold-outs'' assumed new importance In the minds of many ' j managements. Heretofore, through the winter * stove league period, recalcitrant, 1 dissatisfied hall players —or even 1 unconfirmed rumors that they felt 'I that way about their pay for 1930 —did not even mildly annoy their owners. On the contrary, it was just so much more free advertising for the ancient and national pasttime. But while you can keep interest tin baseball alive with publicity, you cannot win pennants, nor even keep a club in the ,first division. Some of the better known ball players —Mr. Arthur Shires, for example — have been memlters of • woefully incompetent second division clubs. So with only a week remaining before the clubs start spring training, the "hold-out" as-urhes a new importance. Probably the most notable athlete on the dissatisfied list is George Herman Ruth, the N w York Yankees' best l>et both for ballyhoo and busting the baseball. Few doubt that the differences between the home run king and his boss, the genial Colonel Ruppert, will l»e straightened out before the 1930 season opens. But for all that, the Babe is the figure-head and inspiration of a group of “hold-outs" which includes some of the best ball tossers in the business. The Yankees may expect to come to terms with Ruth, but other owners do not thank him for setting a bad example. The New York Giants, who have spent more time this winter talking over law suits and mutual recrimination than plans for prodding the players to a pennant this year, couldn't get to first base on : April 16 with the players they have signed thus far. Their three best infielders, two of their best outfielders and a leading pltchei and catcher haven't sent in their signed contracts, nor have they in | dicated any intention of doing so I at the rates quoted by the owners Brooklyn, which will make every effort to become a contender in i 1930, following the amicable settlement of differences among the ' club owners, has some of its beat bets, including Dazzy Vance, on the "hold out" list. Many players, of course, are bluffing, but others are not. and the painful period for pockets hes ar, ived. o SPORT TABS Bloomington. 111., Feb. 12. — It took Jake Schaefer, national balkline billard champion, just one run to de'eat David McAndless it) an exhibition match here, 25(1 to 24.

They are George Simpson of Ohio State, holder of the world's 100yard dash record, and Tom Warn i of Northwestern, co-holder of the : national collegiate pole vault record.
