SHARKEY WHIPS PRIMO CARNERA i New York. Oct. 13.— (U.R) Jack gharkey, reigning American heavyweight champion, and 'Gunboat'' Smith, survivor of boxing’s "white hope" era. shared credit today for providing the finest heavyweight ftght since Jack Dempsey's unforgettable brawl with Luis Firpo. _ Sharkey did his part by thrashing Primo Camera over a 15-round route at Ebbets Field last night, »nd doing it so decisively that the Xstiper man" myth surrounding the Italian was dissipated. • However, had it not been for Smith, the fight would have ended hi the fourth round with Sharkey Winning on a technicality and 30,000 spectators robbed of the contest they paid SIOO,OOO to witness. • The “Gunner," who fought 20 year ago when ringmen scored victory by technicalities, saved the fight when a less determined official might have been stamped into allowing the contest to terminate tn another questional finish. ~ Sharkey, leading From the start and punishing his foe at will, floored the 261-pound Italian with a smashing, short left hook to the jaw. Primo was confused when he got off his back and on his knees. He pulled erect at the count of six, but hearing the shouts of his seconds urging him to take advantage of a full count he dropped back to his knees. • Sharkey and his manager.

- — 7 i down without being hit—a rule I violation punishable by disqualification. Primo, at a loss to understand it all. got up again, dropped to his knees a second time Sharkey rushed forward, and finally came up, ready to fight, at the count of eight. Smith urged Shakey forward. ' hut Jack ran to his own corner and ' attempted to jump through the! ropes. Sharkey then waived the' foul claim and went back to fight. [ Encouraged by the knowledge that Camera could be hurt, Sharkey blasted pway with poking left i hooks to the head and body and! went on to win as he pleased, taking 12 of the 15 rounds with Primo! winning only the sixth. He boxed' beautifully, evading all of Car-; nera's blows save an unexpectedly capable left hook. He feinted Primo into position for smashes, to the head and face. Sharkey I soon had him bewildered. The fifteenth round was Shar-' key's best round. He landed a terrific left hook to the chin as the round opened and for the remainder of the session drove the Camera about the ring. Primo reeled about and appeared out on his feet. With the very fans who had booed his entrance now cheering his every move. Sharkey didn't event wait for the decision before seeking out his protege. Ernie > Schaaf, with a request to "run out I and phone the Mrs. that I pounded ■ hell out of the big baboon." Sharkey's great showing, which won him the unanimous decision' lof Referee Smith and Judges C.! F. Mathison and George Kelly, set I at rest the unsavory rumor that '■ Jack planned to retire and had agreed to "dive." He also proved I

l that he is far from "washed up," !as many critics contended about I his bout with Mickey Walker. His performance was his best since he I first won fame by defeating Harry I Wills in the same ring five years ago to the day. Camera, still a clumsy novice, i proved more capable and more 1 courageous than anyone had suspected. Even Sharkey was willing to admit that fact, visiting Primo's .corner to declare: "You're a hell of a sight better! than I thought -and plenty game." i That just about told the story, I Camera, clumsy and lacking knowI ledge of how to hit properly, prov ! |ed unexpectedly game, took his. 'punishment without a whimper and I ; gave promise of developing into a J I fairish sort of fighter. Sharkey : ' looked to be what critics have hailed him for the past five years I—the most worthy contender for the world's heavyweight championI ship. o Ohio State Faces Hard Basketball Schedule Columbus. 0..
