Primo Camera today had
~ a decision victory over
King Levinsky, but it was
the Kingfish who was getting all
the cheers and taking all the
bows.
Cameras not very impressive
showing against his comparative
ly tiny opponent was not the most
of Cameras troubles. AS he
reached his dressing room after
the fight two deputies placed him
under arrest in connection with a
judgment for $3,754 obtained by
George Biemer, a Fort Wayne,
Ind, promoter.
Unable to locate q bondSman, Car
nera's manager arranged for the italian
heavyweight to spend the night in his
hotel room, with the representatives OF
the law as his roommates. A few hours
before an attachment on Cameras
purse had been served on the Chicago
Stadium. Camera was scheduled to
appear in court this morning.
King Leaps to Hit.
Outweighed 1872 pounds, scaling a mere
1874 pounSS to 27212 for the gigantic
Italian and handicapped in reach and
height, so that 1t often was necessary
for him to leave his feet to land
blow to the head, the former fish ped
dler from Chicago'S ghetto last night
put up as stirring a battle as ever has
keen seen In the Chicago Stadium.
Tearing into the hulking Camera like
g terrier into q Great Dane, and even
attempting to wrestle with his tower
ing adversary, LevinSky won the hearts
of nearly 10000 spectators, even II the
unanimous decision of judges and ref
cree did 60 against him at the end OF
10 rousing rounds.
The Kingfsh, showing nothing but
disdain for Cameras size, came out
firing his right hand at the start of the
first round and, although leg and arm
weary from the mauling and buffeting
he had taken, was still swinging away
with the same earneStneSs when the
final bell sounded.
Camera outboxed Levinsky most OF
the way and piled up points with club
bling lefts and rights, but the Kings
deSperate-and very effective-flniSh so
appealed to the spectators that they
booed the ofncial verdict for several
minutes.
Never Near Knockout.
Most of Levinsky's terrific swings
landed on arms and shoulders or high
on Cameras head, but he was the ag-
gressor nearly all the way There were
no knockdowns and Levinsky never was
in danger of being knocked out, al
though q swooping, right uppercut in
the seventh caused the King to re-
treat while he .regained his bearings.
In the tenth LevinSky turned loose
everything he had left, driving Camera
tc the ropes and banging both hands
of the Italians head. One wild swing
caught Primo on the back Of the head
and he Rugged Levinsky to him for
second.
In the semi-final. scheduled for 10
rounds, Bat Battalino, world feather
weight champion, erased a recent defeat
in less than one round. His opponent.
BuShy Graham, of Utica, N. Y, who
several months ago outpointed the
feather king in non-title bout neatly
outboxed Battalino for about one
minute.
But the title holder caught up with
him. blasted a right to the chin, and
with two terrific body punches. Graham
was counted out in / minute A seconds.
The title was not involved, Battalino
weighing 1891, while Graham scaled
12S, pounds over the division limit.
The attendance was a reminder of
the pre-depreSsion era, II 1893 paid ad-
missions crossing O gate Of $4,000.
