Weighs so Pounds Shy of Big

~ HICAGO, January 3l.-The for

~ before a Chicago assemblage
will occur tonight in the sta
dunn, with Elzear Rioux, French-Ca-
madam heavyweight, acting as the
other party in the ceremony.
Ballyhooed as the biggest fighter
since Jess Willard, the man-mountain
from italy has created tremendous in
terest among Chicago boxing enthu-
siasts, and arrangements today were
being made to accommodate $4,000
spectators, or about $4,000 worth, for
the 10-round engagement.
OF the approximately 4s0 pounds Of
bone and muscle luggcd into the ring
tonight, Primo will furnish 270, giving
him an edge of about so pounds over
the French-Canadian. He also will
have an advantage Of inches in
height 4 inches in reach and several
sizes in shoes.
Beyond the physical advantages, Car
nera will be the popular favorite. No

upright any longer than did Big Boy
Peterson, whom Primo flattened in less
than a round in New York last week,
when he made his American premier.
Rioux was confident he not only would
be on his fleet at the end Of the tenth
round, but believed he had . chance
Of outpointing the huge Italian. He
claims to have knocked q bear silly with
his right hand, and does not think
Primo Is tougher than q bear. How
ever. he took lacing from Helm
Mueller, clever German heavyweight, in
his last Chicago appearances, showing
little except ability to absorb punish
ment.
If Camera does as the trade expects
and quickly stops Rioux, the spectators
still will have the King Tut-Bruce
