TALKING
IT OVER
BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Primc
IN Camera may be just a hollow
shell to Jack Sharkey and the rest
Of the boys, but Victorio Campolc
and 10000 persons who saw him
whack all the willingness and most
OF the life out of the angular Ar
gentine in a round an half at the
Garden Friday night today joined
in with the out and out assertion
that he's re-eating rhinocerous
among the bigger blokes.
Certainly. he's the champion Of Profess
sor william Muldoons dresdnaught divi-
sion
In the same ring in which he launched
the great American sucker tour by mop
ping M the place with Big Bow Peterson
three wears ago. Camera was a vastly i'm
proved fighting man. and as impressive as
3 Riant possibly could be under the cir
cumstances. liked the way he buekled
down to his task and dashed himself into
battle when campolo rocked him right
under the gun.
Victoria Maria might have regained his
feet after the second knockdown. when
fattened ANYWAY. The Primo punched en-
tirelv too fast. and was altogether too
strong.
Camera. whom Leon See said was stale
Friday night. TODAY opened $4,000 week
engagement at a Broadway vaudeville
house. Two or three shows day is the
little French managers idea OF COM
plete rest for the Venetian leviathan.
nj IN ma
the Primo with Tommy LouQhran. and NAV
wind up accepting the Christmas fund
date Of Dec. II. provided Professor Null
doom will waive his heavy-heavyweiRht
rule.
ONE thing must be said for Car
~ nera. He keeps busy, and for
the past few months has made no
effort to pick his spots. When Max
Schmeling ran out on him, he
tackled Sharkey, and not a few of
the more experienced boxing men
believed Campolo hit too hard for
him.
ONLY one other match can be recalled
in which two ouch big men squared off
with boxing gloves on their hands. That
was the meeting between this same Camera
and George Godfrey in Philadelphia a
wear ago last June. which ended in the
Negro fouling out in the fourth round.
Campolo at feet 81. and weighing
224ia. is a half inch taller than Camera,
who scaled 1861. and looked like man
on stills alongside his deep-chested and
stump-legged Argentine.
They came out punching like a pair of
loneshoremen. and at a cyclonic pace.
Campolo found the range with two right
hand shots to the head, and they wrapped
On arm around each others neck and
whaled away with free fists Breaking
awav. the Argentine almost upset Camera
with right hand shot TO the Jaw. but
the Primo steadied himself and COM
menced to score with short left hook
Campolo had Camera hanging on twice.
and hurt him with the only body punch of
the heht-a right hand drive, but the
Primo was the boss on the inside and
his short potts to the head were raising
havoc at the bell.
Camera sensed that Campolo had shot
his bolt at the conclusion Of the hrst
round. and came out prepared to complete
the lob in the second. The round wasn't
minute old before he dropped Campolo
with a straight riqht-hander to the chin.
Victoria Maria sat quite still until the
count reached eight and lust did make tAe
grade at nine.
CARNERA took his time about
~ sailing in again, and landed
several more jaw jolts before Cam
polo hit the deck again. 1t was an
other right that left the gangling
Gaucho ready for the finisher,
which was a left hook that did not
appear to pack enough power to put
him down. But the beanpole OF
Buenos Aires had enough, and sat
there blinking as referee Gunboat
Smith cuonted him out.
Probably the best story OF the fght
could be written around the battle jimmy
Johnston. the Garden manager had get
ting the two big bows in the ring. DR..
William II. walker OF the boxing COM
mission. had to vsnk Csmpolo out of bed
shortly before weighing-in time Friday.
He said he was suffering from pain In
the back.
Camera also complained of not feeling
well. which was quite all right with Cam
polo. After what happened. he would hate
10 face the Primo when he was physical
" ut.
The show was arranged for the benefit
OF the federation for the support of Jew
ish philanthropic societies. and the dis
appointing gate. about $4,000. largely was
attributed to the insistence of the sponsor.
Paul Block. that the ton tariff he s15.75.
Even he beef trust can't fight at that
price these davs-not even for worthy
cause.
