anspolis street Railway Company's
public relations department told the
industrial safety conference in the
statehouse today.
"The pedestrian should be put on

that while police halt one person
crossing against the red" three
other offenders walk by him.

Political conditions have handl-
capped the governmental employ

1T would be strange, wouldn't it,
if the next name to adorn the
Muldoon-Tunney Trophy should
end in 'EY" as the last two have
done. Dempsey, Tunney, Sharkey-
why not?
And Sharkey, in way, is sort OF
a combination OF the two in whose
footsteps he may follow-a puncher,
like Dempsey, and boxer, like Tun-
ney. But, before I get crowned, let
me hasten to add that at his best he
cannot punch as hard as Dempsey
nor at his best box as well as Tun-
new. Neither does he have the gray
matter Of the last heavyweight title
holder, nor the fighting spirit and
ring personality Of the Manassa
Mauler.
However, Sharkey will do until
better man comes along, and VINO
among US can tell whether better
man will come along the night OF
June IL or not? Today let us con-
slider four reasons why Jack should
win the world heavyweight cham
pionship in his. fight with Max
Schmeling Of Germany.
First, and granting that Sharkey
has the physical qualities that
champion should have, such as skill,
speed, strength, courage and the
ability to hit and to take 1t, he
should go into this fight with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-06-06

greatest will to win that he has ever
had before any bout since he almost
knocked out Jack Dempsey in the
first round of their memorable en-
counter three years ago. To win the
title for wife and children, and for
America, his country, what greater
incentives could a man have?
Second, we know that Sharkey is
good, whereas Schmeling is still quite
an unknown quality. The COB is an
in-and-outer, yes, but in some of his
fights he has looked the part of a
real champion. When few other
white heavies would mix with God
frey and Wills, he fought and beat
them both. Maloney, Delaney and
Loughran he put away in total Of
nine rounds.
Third, apparently he is in splendid
condition, and as he has trained and
fought twice since Schmeling last
fought, he ought to have the edge
in that respect over the German.
Last, this time the crowd should
be with him and not against him,
and for that reason he should turn
in one Of his real good fights.

CARNERA SHOWS HE
REALLY CAN FIGHT
Behemoth Takes Place
Among Title ContenderS With
Kayo of Christner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ETROIT, Mich, June 6.-Primo
Camera, "the Ambling Alp" is
one Of the foremost among
the heavyweight contenders to-
day by reason of his impressive four
round knockout victory over Meyer (Ko)
Christner of Akron, Ohio, in Floyd
Fitzsimmons' arena last night.
After a bad first round, in which
Christner sent the crowd of $4,000 wild
with barrage Of let's and rights which
the giant Italian could not ward off,
Camera began a systematic attack, d.
rected principally at his opponents bad
left eye. He had the optic badly swelled
at the end of the third and set the blood
to flowing freely from cut over 1t
with a brace of left jabs in the early
part of the fourth.
Then came a ponderous right to the
chin, with minute and 40 seconds to
20, and the man whom Sharkey, RiSko
and Knute Hansen couldn't fell went
down. Not until well after the count
of 10 was he able to rise.
Big Weight Disparity.
Primo outweighed the Akronite by
"a pounds, scaling 265 pounds, COM
pared with Christner's meager 201, but
it was the superior height and reach OF
the giant Italian which decided the
match. Time and again Camera held
Christner at arms length and banged
him with his free glove.
Christner fought gamely to the end.
Aiming his blows high, he used both
right and left to good advantage, sew
eral times making Primo vince per-
ceptibly. Camera remained calm
throughout, however, absorbing punish
ment with a smile and smashing back
at every opening
Eighteen thousand skeptics, who paid
$4,000 to see Primo in action, left
satisfied that he can take and give.
