WAR CLOUDS LOOM

Garden Would Go to Court to
Prevent Primo From Meet
ing Sharkey.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

"A YEW YORK, April 8 (C.PA)-
M The sock market, already
groaning under an accumula-
ton of ills, is faced with an
other affliction during the coming
Summer. The portents point to what
is loosely defined as boxing war, with
the Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton on one side and the State Athletic
Commission on the other. The role of
bone of contention will be played, If
there is war, by the hulking figure of
Primo Camera.
The flstic fathers state that Camera,
suspended not quite year ago for ir-
regularities In connection with his bout
with Maurice (Bombo) Chevalier in
to good standing. That Is as far as the
on1cial statement goes.
Garden Will Fight.
Unoficially, 1t may be stated positively
that Camera Is being reinstated so that
he may box Jack Sharkey. the COM
missions little Rollo, at Ebbets Field.

recognized by the board as involving

of the proceeds of this affair are to be

The Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton Of Illinois, subsidiary Of the New
York corporation, has Camera signed
to contract specifying he will not box
any one without its permission until he
has met the winner Of the Schmeling-
Stribling fight for the title.
Where the trouble comes In Is that
the Garden intends. or says 1t intends,
to 60 to court, II necessary, to prevent
Camera from boxing any one in New
York for another promoter. James ].
Johnston, Ebbets Field impresario,
with the commission backing him up,
expects to disregard the Garden con-
tract and use Camera against Sharkey.
It may be stated that II Leon See,
Cameras manager of record, declines
to sign for the Sharkey brawl, Camera
will be permitted by the board to sign
tor himself.
That is the lineup. Unless somebody
backs down, a costly and far-reachinc
conflict is bound to result.
