By Joe Williams If Sharkey Has Good Night, He’ll Win m m m Camera Is Lunger, Not Hard Hitter m m n Champ Best Against Unfeared Foes
YORK, June 27.—Primo Camera will go into the heavyweight championship fight across the river Thursday night with everything to gain and nothing to lose. The burden of proof will be on Jack Sharkey, the defender. Along with this advantage, the large Italian will carry several others, including youth, reach, height, a sixty-pound pull in the weights and a bovine-like temperament which can be and frequently is of great help to prize fighters. But practically all these advantages—with the exception of youth—are on the minor side. Against top-hole competition they are not likely to butter many parsnips, to say nothing of cauliflowers. Weight, height and reach mean little unless backed up w’ith fighting class. What I am trying to say is that if Sharkey turns on the pressure and comes up with one of his good fights, Camera can and very probably will be beaten. On rare occasions, Sharkey has been known to fight like an expert. And they do say that if you can make one good fight you can make another. It would seem, then, that the answer is strictly up to Sharkey. He has the tools. The question is, “will he use them?” How can any one say for sure whether he will or not? Sharkey has a habit of popping wide open in a crisis. The man doesn’t know himself. How can anybody else be expected to know him? a a it A DMITTEDLY Sharkey is two years older than he was when he met tV Camera the first time, and gave him a thorough varnishing, and it is inevitable that he has gone back just as far as all fighters, even the best of them, go back in that length of time. Against a dangerous opponent this would be an important consideration. But is Camera a dangerous fighter? He is big and strong and about as invulnerable as any human can be. This still doesn't make him dangerous from the standpoint of attack. True he knocked out Ernie Schaaf with a left jab, but the adtopsy showed definitely Schaaf was critically ill before he went into the ring. If Camera is a dangerous puncher today, then he developed into such overnight, and that is not the normal case history of punching men. They have the vital knack in the beginning, refinement and perfection are the qualities that come w'ith added experience. Heretofore, Camera has been more of a lunger than a hitter, and lungers are seldom dangerous. n a a RATING Sharkey off his last fight with Schmeling—one of the worst he ever made—you would be justified in picking anybody to beat him. Now that might have been a miserable performance for no other reason than that Sharkey was incapable of putting up a better one.. That, in short, he had slipped definitely into mediocrity. And again it may have been due to something else. Possibly a too extravagant respect for Schmeling’s right hand. If that we re so, then you can look for Sharkey to do much better against the Primo. because he will not have any knockout punch to fear, and that always makes the assignment much easier. Sharkey has always fought his best against men he did not fear. Strangely, among these men were Dempsey, the hardest hitter of our time. Others W’ere Loughran and Maloney, men he stiffened. I have no way of knowing whether inwafdly he fears Camera. If he does, it would be hard to understand why, except for his impressive hulk and the possibility that it might prove too great a task to hammer him dowm.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June 27.—Primo Camera will enter the ring in Madison Square Garden's bowl at about 10:15 Thursday night and should leave it less than fifteen rounds later, the first Italian world heavyweight champion. In other words, the writer predicts he will score a technical knockout over Jack Sharkey. It might be said of this fight that a good big man can beat a good little man. Camera seems to have developed into a good big man since Sharkey too ka fifteen-round decision over him in 1931, while the larruping Lithunaian, apparently has passed his peak. Camera is the largest challenger in ring history. Primo, weighing 262 pounds and standing six feet and a

champion are based largely on Sharkey’s decisive victory over Primo in 1931, the year when the Boston gob was at his peak. But it is recalled that Sharkey battered Max Schmeling all over the ring in 1930 before losing to the German on a fourth-round foul. However, when Jack won the title from Schmeling in their return bout in June, 1932, the battle was so close that most of the experts thought Sharkey had lost. His lack of sparkle in that bout served for many as the tip-off that Jack was slipping. A year of idleness since then certainly hasn’t sharpened him. Meanwhile, Camera engaged in twenty-four bouts since his beating by Sharkey, which should give him a great advantage in condition because nothing has been invented as a substitute for battling to keep a fighting man in trim. - ’ Popular Athlete Lost to Trinities The west side lost a popular allaround athlete when Frank (Cowboy) Smerdel lost his life in an auto accident Sunday.

Indians Cut and Slash Ball for 18 Safeties Tribe Trounces Colonels, 11-3, Monday, Logan Pitching: Free Gate for Women Again Tonight: Sigafoos Celebration Planned Wednesday, With Prices Reduced. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor "Red Killefer’s Indians entertained the customers with a base hit ■ demonstration at Perry stadium Monday night and slapped the horsehide to the tune of eighteen blows, burying the Louisville Colonels under the decisive score of 11 to 3. It was the series opener and in the third inning, when the Tribesmen cut and slashed the ball for seven runs, the visiting Kentuckians were as dizzy as a southern playboy colonel flowing over w T ith mint juleps. • • Lefty Logan kept eleven Louisville safeties fairly well distributed and was scored against in only two innings, striking out six and issuing one walk.

Grandstand 40 Cents Wednesday Wednesday has been designated as “Frank Sigafoos night” and it will wind up the series with Bruno Betzel’s Colonels. It will be along j the lines of an appreciation event j and a testimonial to the popular second sacker who put his name in the American Association record book by hitting in thirty-nine consecutive games, bettering the previous league mark by three games. The Sigafoos celebration will be a bargain for the fans. The entire grandstand, except boxes, will be thrown open for forty cents, and women will be admitted free without even the ten cents tax charge, j The bleachers, Wednesday night, will be turned over free to lads under 16. and the bleacher gates will be closed after the open section is filled. Capacity there is about 2,000. Baseball boasters of the Van Camp Hardware and Iron Company will present Sigafoos with a handsome trophy, and there will be several other presentations. Eight Hits in Third Louisville put one run over in the second stanza Monday and the home nine rallied immediately and chalked up two tallies in its half of the same round. In the third session Lee beat out a roller for the Tribe and the fun was on. The Indians poled six consecutive hits in that frame before an out was made and two hits and two walks followed before a Colonel double play retired the side. Bob Logan joined the swatting orgy and blasted a triple to right center, scoring two mates. He also batted in one marker with a single in the second canto. Sigafoos and Riddle whacked out doubles during the seven-run barrage. Twelve Indians stepped to the plate during the prolonged drive. Score Twice in Seventh The Hoosiers pushed two more markers around in the seventh, Lee batting them in. and in the eighth the visitors made their last threat, doubles, by Nachand and Norman ! and a single by Erickson producing ! two runs. It was an errorless contest and there was some sharp fielding despite the one-sided score. The ] Louisville infield executed four double plays and the Tribe one. Dudley Lee was the author of two infield hits that supplied the fans with a laugh at the expense of the Colonels. He bunted toward third in the first round and beat it out when the visitors let it roll, thinking it was going foul. In the third Lee topped the ball and it bounced along the first base line, in slow motion. Jonnard and Van Camp surrounded it. decided it was headed for foul ground and let it alone. Dudley scampered to first and the sphere stayed in. Lefty Bears Down Lefty Logan kept some juice on the stuff he dished up to the Colonels and there were only six Tribe assists. Lefty had the enemy lofting the pellet into the ozone. He fanned the first two men to face I him to indicate he was keyed up for | a large evening. Manager Betzel spent game time j in the grand stand, seated back of ! the Louisville dugout. He drew an indefinite suspension for some trouble with Umpire McLaughlin In Louisville Sunday. According to hearsay, however, it was the Colonel fans, and not Betzel, who made it tough for the arbiter.
