By Joe Williams Sharkey-Carnera Fitfht Was on Level man Jack Reckless—Had to Take Chances mm a Sailor's Punches Didn't Hurt Primo

YORK, July I.—Was the Sharkey-Carnera fight on the level? The boys along Broadway were asking that question today. The boys along Broadway always ask the question. Especially the boys along Broadway who happened to guess wrong. I guessed wrong myself, but I think It was strictly on the square. And yet the setup for a Barney was perfect. Two or three of Sharkey’s bouts would not bear close scrutiny Camera’s own handlers admit in private that not more than half a dozen of his earlier fights were on the up and up. Put two men of this type together and there is ample justification for lifting of eyebrows and nodding of knowing heads. I do not say there is too much lifting of eyebrows and nodding of knowing heads in this trade, but I do say there are times when visible results should be accepted at face value. a tt tt WHAT was to be gained by putting this fight in the bag? Even the professional gamblers were betting even money, take your pick. To me that is always the ulitmate tip off. It is proof enough that nobody knows anything. You can t engineer a betting coup without changing the odds, and the odds did not change materially for twenty-four hours. I think you can with mental comfort dismiss all thoughts that Sharkey laid down to Camera, and readers of this column do not need to be reminded that the writer has never carried a flaming torch for Sharkey. Much of the in-the-bag talk arises out of the fact that Sharkey was hit on the chin and stayed down, making no effort to get up until he was counted out. I have no way of knowing whether he could have gotten up. I don't think any one else has. You have to be hit on the chin yourself to know about that. Very likely Sharkey could have gotten up. Most great fighters do when they are dropped I have never accepted Sharkey as a great fighter —except in spots—and when you have to accept a fighter as great in spots he is not a great fighter Granting he could have gotten up, Ido not blame him for staying down. ana WHETHER Sharkey could have gotten up or not, I think all those who sat close to the ring will agree that he fought a gallant, courageous fight—a gallant courageousness that frequently bordered on recklessness I note, incidentally, that Gene Tunney blames Sharkey’s knockout on his reckless deportment in the ring. Recklessness calls for bravery of a sort. But I am not convinced that Sharkey was reckless to the point of self-destruction. His only chance to win lay in a certain recklessness. However could he hope to reach the giant of a man in front of him except by trying to tear through his awkward defense and land a telling blow? This Sharkey did repeatedly, and did well, despite the fact that many of his St. Georgian assaults landed on nothing more substantial than thin air. He had height, weight, reach and youth against him. He was in the position of a man trying to break the bank with his last dollar. Frequently he had to leap high in the air to land or even try to land with a right. tt tt tt SHARKEY had only one picture in mind. Two years ago he had hit Camera with one punch to the jaw and knocked him down, practically out. It would be easy to do again, he must have told himself. It wasn’t. And you do not have to go far for the answer. In two years the kick had gone out of the Sharkey punch. I counted seven clean hits to Camera’s jaw. Not one of them fazed him.

fHOOTINCr k PA Q,

THOSE who have been wondering whether the 1933 Indiana amateur golf championship would be played this year, where, when and all the incidentals will welcome the bulletin of Jess Mossier, the veteran association secretary, that everything is jake right now and the tournament will go on. Tire place was decided last summer at Hammond during the 1932 state meet when Dr. Harry L. Cooper tendered an invitation from the Chain O' Lakes course in South Bend. It wasn't long in being accepted. The dates were decided upon just recently, however, during a trip by the association officials over the course and at a meeting with the upstate club executives. Dates are August 14 to 19, inclusive. a a a Right now. Mrt-sler and G. A. Young of Lafayette, association president, are interested in making the event as attractive as possible. They know many golf widows frown on being left a day or two at a time but rebel when the time is extended to a week. Thev know the two-day women's tournaments that were staged in French I.irk the past few vears when the men's tournaments were held there were immensely popular. And they know that many a man golfer in this state will go to the state if the wife goes along. So they are after a course to stage a 36-hole two day medal tournament for the women on Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 15 and Id. Coquillard country club seems to be (he spot and it i almost a safe bet that the event will be staged. Coquillard entertained the women's state meet last year •nd sought to hold the men s state open (his rear, so thev apparentlv are tourna-ment-minded up there. They probably will welcome the ladies. a a a As usual, the mens state event will open with thirtv-six holes of qualifying plav eighteen on Monday and eighteen on Tuesday. The thirty-two placers with the lowest totals wtl qualify to fight it out for the championship bv match plav beginning Wednesday and continuing with two rounds of 18-hoie matches datlv until the final match on Saturday which will be thirty-six holes. a a a The remainder of the field will be divided up into flights of lit each for matches that also will begin Wednesdar and wind up Friday. The usual father and son taam match and other features for the qualifying round also will be staged. The clubs over the state are responding fast with their dues for 193.1. and this will enable their members to enter. If there is a sign the depression is over it certainty shows up plainly in the statement by South Bend and tournament officials that an entry of ?0(1 is expected. Thai will not include a large number of junlars, because this year only boys who take part In the state lunior tournament at Frsklne Park course, Aug 7 to 11. end capture the medalist honors or one of the four semi-finalist positions will be admitted in the men's event.

Indiana’s bespectacled star, in the national collegiate half-mile two weeks ago by winning the 800-meter in 1 minute 51.8 seconds. Metcalfe safely retained his title of the '‘world’s fastest human’’ by winning the ier than expected. He captured the 100 meters in 10.5 seconds, beating Jim Johnson, Illinois State Normal Negro. Metcalfe won the 200 meters in 21.1 seconds, three-tenths of a second faster than the meet record made by Charley Borah. Ivan Fuqua, Indiana university’s stellar quarter-miler, walked off with honors in his specialty, easily winning the 400-meters in 47.4 seconds. a half second off Bill Carr's record. Two other Hoosiers gained third place points, Ray Sears of Butler in the 3.000-meter steeplechase and Noble Biddinger of I. U. in the hammer throw.

Camera ‘Right Down My Alley/ Says Toughy Baer

BY HENRY ML E.MO RE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July I.—The only St. George Maxie Baer ever heard of is the hotel in Brooklyn, but the California butcher boy is ready to go out and lambaste himself a dragon, just as did the mythical Englishman in the days when knighthood was in flower. The dragon he craves to get hold of is Priino Camera, the new world's heavyweight champion. We caught Baer in his hotel suite today just as he returned from luncheon with a blond baby doll. “We'll have to talk fast,” he said, “for I've got a date with the sweetest thing you ever laid eyes on in

IXDIANAPOLS, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1933

Camera to \ isit Italv * New Champion Wants to See 'Mama, Papa and Mussoleen.’ BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July I.—Wholly oblivious to a popular demand that he meet Max Baer before the winter sets in, Primo Camera, new heavyweight champion of the world, made plans today to sail next week for his homeland—ltaly. He greatly desires, he made it clear today, to “See mama, papa an’ Mussoleen!” He will sail next week for Genoa. It need not be said that Mussolini as well as papa and mama will be glad to see the first Italian ever to become heavyweight champ. Camera's plans call for a brief visit to Italy. He will come back within a few weeks and start work in Hollywood on a movie written by Ed Sullivan, Broadway columnist. It's probable that Camera will then return to Europe to make a triumphal tour of the continent. There are some who see virtue in Camera’s decision, and some who don’t. After the kicking around he has taken since his arrival in America, it is pointed out, the Italian has a right to hang onto his plum for a year. Across the fence, however, are those who believe the prospect of a Carnera-Baer fight is more than enticing. They believe that the oldfashioned million-dollar gate might come back if such a bout were arranged. Cycle Races on Garden Program Rody Rosenberg, 1932 amateur motorcycle champion, will defend his championship at Walnut Gardens’ half-mile track next Tuesday, July 4, against a field of brilliant j cyclists. Rosenberg won eighteen out of nineteen races last year at various meets and holds eight track records. The race at the local track on the Fourth will be run under the auspices of and sanctioned by the A. M. A. Among the entries are Joe Lewis, Indianapolis; P. Piper, Orleans, Ind.; R. Sprag, Terre Haute; H. Goosman, Cincinnati; C. Gully, Dayton, O.; J. Williams, Springfield, and R. Conrad, Columbus, O. The program, which will start at 2:30, consists of five races ranging in distance from three to ten miles. There also will be a special match race between the fastest qualifier and Rosenberg. Qualifications will be held at 10 a. m.

Camera-Schmeling Title Scrap Proposed for Rome

Louis Soresi. Camera’s pilot, favors such a bout. He believes the stadium’s 130,000 seats w*ould be filled, because of the enthusiasm in the home land for Italy's first heavyweight champion.

f Sharkey fight, Soresi figures the I Schmeling bout in Rome would draw* better than any match in the United States, excepting one with Maxie Baer, Schmeling’s recent conqueror. A match with Baer is impossible at present because Baer is tied up with Jack Dempsey. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling’s manager, naturally favors the fight in Italy, i not only because of the money, but because it would give the German a chance to regain the title. Schmeling is vacationing in the Bavarian Alps near Munich, Germany, conditioning himself. However, Madison Square Garden must be reckoned with before such a match can be made. The Garden has a contract for the Italian Giant’s next fight. Soresi said Friday night he would ask the Garden either to promote or permit the bout in Rome.

a close fifth. Frank Sigafoos batted in the lons Tribe tally off young Dean Friday, in the first stanza, and after that tall Paul was the master. In the initial round Lee walked after one away, Cooney forced him. and Sigafoos scored Cooney with a double to right. Mild Threats Smothered There were a few mild threats as the game progressed, out whenever the Indians looked as though they might get started, Dean tightened and knocked 'em back. He fanned Pete Chapman three times in a row*. Layne beat out a hit in the third. Riddle doubled in the fifth and Lee beat out a bunt in the eighth, which with Sigafoos’ double in the first constituted the Tribe hit total. The Birds tied the game count by registering one tally in the second round when three hits and shaky Tribe fielding put Jim Turner in a hole. In the fourth the visitors tacked up two more runs and Turner was relieved by Lefty Bob Logan. Anderson doubled after one out, crossed the plate on Borgmann's single, and when Riggs also lined to a safe spot. Turner was removed. Riggs' blow put Borgmann on third and Riggs w*as erased trying for second on the throw-in. Heath solved Logan for a single, scoring Borgmann, and Heath expired stealing. Logan hurled good ball, but it was wasted as Dean kept mowing down his mates and in the eighth Lefty dropped out for a pinch hitter and Daglia finished. Columbus played errorless ball and three miscues were chalked against the Tribe. Birds Use Collegian The Birds tried out a rookie at second. Lew Hinchman, former Ohio State university all-round star athi lete. He handled himself well in ‘ the field, but was held hitless. Fred i Bedore robbed him of a safety in j the sixth by coming through with a fine stop back of first. Branch Rickey, general manager of the St. Louis Cardinal chain parent club of the Birds, w r as a visitor at the stadium Friday and held conferences with Prexy Red Trautman of the Birds and Manager Ray Blades. Hinchman accepted terms just before the Friday tilt. James Turner, a young infielder from Vanderbilt university, and Harold Funk, catcher from Houston, w*ere others to join the Bucks Friday. Fine Play by Borgmann Slugger Frank- Sigafoos was held to one blow by Dean Friday, but it took a spectacular stop and throw by Borgmann in deep short in the fourth to prevent “Siggie” from fattening his average. The Indians are approaching a long absence from the stadium. The game tonight, tw-o Sunday and two Tuesday wull end the Tribes performances here until July 28. Bob Kahle, young infielder of Richmond, Ind., has been working out with the Indians dining practice sessions. Chief Killefer believes the lad has the earmarks of promising talent. Anyway, the kid has fine size and will receive further chances to demonstrate his skill. He has not been placed on the official club roster.
