Successor to Ruth

Incidentally, it is the thought
Of many observers that base
ball is about ripe for some star
to come along and take the
shoes which Babe Ruth can't
be expected to fill much longer.

game has had its aces, at

of it's history. It has had its

Der IL must be lucky for me. It
was on October IL, 1926 in Ebbets
Field that first attracted atten-
ton when I licked Harry Wills
in thirteen rounds. Five years
later I got a thrill out Of crushing
another ring giant.
Some Fourth
The newspaper boys are still
talking about that fourth round.
That was the session in which
dropped Camera with a savage
left hook to the chin. The italian
giant got up at the count of 6. I
was on top of him at the time,
and prepared to hit him again
when he dropped to the canvas
without taking a blow.
Primo was confused and didn't
know just what to do. Under the
rules Of boxing, Camera lost
when he went down without get
ting hit. I started for my corner
believing that the, bout was over.
Johnny Buckley stopped me as I
was about to leave the ring.
Camera had not been disqualified
and got up at the count Of seven.
/ then got back into the thick
Of the battle. I had Camera
In poor condition from left
hooks to the chin when the
round ended. In the fifth
frame. 1 tried to stop Camera
with rights to the Jaw, but was
mot quite able to do so.
The ninth round found Camera
in poor condition again. Once
more it was left hooks to the Jaw
which had the giant in distress.
From that point on, Camera
showed signs Of being tired.
boxed at long range as much as
possible, as I didn't want to give
Camera a chance to use his ire
mendouS strength.
I found that by directing my at
tack to Cameras body, I could
bring his guard down. I then
would shift my attack to the head
and nail Primo with left hooks or
righthand punches.
In the fifteenth round, I
threw everything I had into my
attack. Camera backed away
under the fury Of my drive. I
nailed him with left and right
hand belts to the jaw.
I got a thrill out Of winning
but wish to praise Camera for
the fine stand he made against
me. He Is one Of the most
courageous heavyweights I have
ever met. Give him another
year of experience and he will
be even a greater heavyweight
than he Is now.
I was particularly impressed
by the improvement Camera

But there may yet be a Camera
circle dedicated to this courageous
giant who stood as best he could
against the shrewd skill and fear
some drive Of the cleaving clipper.
Camera, felled and risen, stands
straighter and higher than before.
The Sharkey who had paved
like a pup against the puny
Walker, tore at the dynosauric
Camera like shaggy-maned lion.
Yet, when the loser, battered,
bloody and beaten, lay in his
dressing room, he lay rather in
state than in disgrace. It had
taken the best Sharkey that ever
shot a lethal left or a ruinous
right to turn back this stranger
who had been derided by cynical
carpers. Last night those who
caro- to scott remained to praise.
When Gunboat Smith raised
Jack Sharkey's hand at Ebbets
Field the Boston lad whipped a
game man. Camera can take
1t. What he took must have
rocked MussOIini.
When Primo learns to uppercut
he may be champion of the
world. He wasn't ready for a
master boxer like Sharkey. Other
wise, he qualified. Sharkey made
the battle of his life and he had
to. It has usually been when he
had to that Jack didn't. But if
he never laces on a glove again
he can tell his kids about Column
bus Day in Brooklyn.
Dazes Giant Italian
Camera was bunting, and
Sharkey, after he got the measure
of the beefy foreigner, was slam
ming homers. His weaving saved
him and his Looping left hand
slugging and left and RICH socks
to the belt-line had Camera
dizzy.
That fourth round was one of
those for the book. Sharkey had
hardly begun to get inside or out
side the Tunney-like long left
which Primo kept popping into
his teeth when he took off about
10 feet away and caught Camera
on the button. The italian went

his swarthy face.

thing just then. He tottered to
his feet, confused, then dropped
to his right knee-a palpable dis
qualification. The COB caught
the point. Instead of rushing at
Camera he rushed at Smith-his
Navy training probably guiding
him to the Gunboat. Smith tried
to throw him off. Sharkey was
frantic. He rushed to his own
corner and began to climb out
gesticulating Historically, un-
heard in the hubbub. His own
men threw him back, saving him
disqualification, also.
Any hints Of faint or the we'll
known fix proved the hooey. If
ever a battle was fought on the
up-and-up and a decision given
without a possible whisper of
doubt, this contest for the heavy
weight crown Of America came
clean and pure. Sharkey won. It
would have been a scandal had
it been called even a draw.

A Chance Meeting

Barrett and another scout by
the name of Crosse met in
Texarkana, Tex, when Barrett
was on his way to the Texas
town where Martin was playing
ball to scout the young phenom.
That was six years ago and
Crosse was changing trains at
Texarkana to go to Houston for
Q convention.
I'm trailing a ball player
who's going to burn up the big
leagues some day." Barrett
boosted to Crosse over coffee in
the Texarkana station restaur-
ant. Crosse put it down as
the eternal optimism which
makes the baseball ivory hunter
akin to the desert prospector in
his search for gold.
''What'd I tell you down in
Texarkana that day?" Barrett
reminded Crosse recently in St.
Louis.
you knew your onions"
Crosse admitted.

a left hand very effectively.
It is my intention to keep
active in the ring. OF course,
I would prefer meeting Schcmel-
ing again, as know can lick
him. Max, however, has refused
to go through with the return
contest he promised me after
our last bout.
