sures an interesting Summer of
heavyweight competition, regard

over the services Of Primo Camera.
II Federal Judge Knox rules that
Primo Cameras contract with the
Madison Square Garden Corporation Of
Illinois renders the Ambling Alp ineii-
gible to box Jack Sharkey at Ebbets
Field on June 10 the promoters Of that
shindig can make q better match by
pairing Loughran with Sharkey.
In case the decision goes the other
way, thus invalidating Camera as q
September opponent for the winner Of
the July championship fracas be-
tween Max Schmeling and Young
Stribling, the Garden interests can
offer an even better September at.
traction by using Loughran.
Either way Loughran seems TO be in
line for one big shot, Though he has
strung along with the Garden, that
organization Is willing to release him
for fight with Sharkey at Ebbets
Field Is he is offered the chance for
q return match with the man who de-
feated him two years ago.
On his record OF eight successive
victories, each gem Of the Queens
berry art, since he hit the comeback
tran, the handsome Ptiladelphian has
richly earned another chance with
Sharkey. He would be well supported
