NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-"Ah,
weel some wan plees poosh da
Schmeling at Prime while Prime
he feel so good" grinned Primo
Camera, on this particular day
and date. Yes, indeed. the very
same fellow, whose fiddle feet
now rest upon the deck OF the
throne seat of the "dreadnaught
kingdom" Of pugdom.
Prime weeSh now, eef Schme-
ling were be so oblij to fight
heem, and mebbe a coopla fellers
in de same reeng which all de
time been saying de Prime he ISIS
bum" added the new champion
of a class that became extinct
when Vittorio Campolo swooned
the other, or, rather the late but
unlamented dreadnaught into
forgetfulness of titular ambitions
in Madison Square Garden last
night.
"Dey have say Prime, he no
can beet. He jooSt pooshes. All
time know deterrent. Eef I get
chance at beeg man Campolo he
beeg, I no haff to heet down.
jooSt straight. So I beet heem
a good wan in de second and
who says Prime is beeg bum
now?"
Primo glared and looked
around. No answer.
Who say Prime beeg bum.
ha?" he roared.
Cave-Man Setto
Nobody spoke. Silence thus in.
dicated that Prime" no longer
is "beeg bum" and that he really
is somebody to be reckoned with
in the heavyweight class even
though Jack Sharkey did every
thing but rivet him to a ring
post.
Camera and Campolo put up
a cave-man fight last night while
it lasted. That first round was
wild, wild-and still wilder. Cam
polo, showing contempt for the
man who outbulked him "A
pounds, came with a roar from
his corner and in the twinkling
of an orb, the air was full of
whistlying leather catapulted by
arms of giants; leather that en-
cased huge fists clenched for the
kill"
Campolo's swift and savage at
tack surprised Carnera-but only
for a span of 10 or IS seconds.
Then Camera fought back and
the two goliathS stood there in
midring, trying with each punch
to battle the other into human
wreckage. For more than half
the round Campolo held the adj
vantage and then Camera S
weight, his bull-like strength and
his ripping body smashes began to
slow down Campolo.
They we're slugging like blood
LISTING maniacs with the bell. 1t
was Campolo's round, despite the
last-minute rally of Camera. Yet,
as both fighters sat in their cor
ners, it became obvious to all be-
holders that it no longer was a
question as to who would, but
merely a guess as to how far Wit
torio could travel with the man
who had bent him almost double
with three punches in the opener.
Camera Lands
Another gong and out they
came. But this time it was Car
nera charging. Campolo met him
with a long left, and another.
They traded short rights to the
body and then-ah, then. Cam
polo lunged in with the hope of
spearing Camera but Primo al
ready was swinging a right with
1861 pounds of manpQwer in the
sweep of his arm and the blow
caught Cam: olo flush on his left
chin.
The whole body of Campolo
quivered. His mouth flew open,
his face became ashen, his knees
buckled and, before Camera
could strike again, Campolo
crumpled to the floor for nine"
He came up, Keeling. staggering,
glass-eyed and wrecked. Camera
tore in, belaboring with short in
side punches. Campolo swayed,
tottered to the ropes, came clear
from them, out in the open,
hands down. head rocking. knees
banging against each other.
Camera chauffeured himself
into range, bounced one off Wit
torio'S right jaw. another off his
left and. like a gently folding
accordion, the huge frame of
Campolo. closed up. sort Of floated
to the floor-and that was the
end of the symphony of swat.
Primo After Champ
The "Dreadnaught Division" was
created for this particular brawl-
and Camera and Campolo were
the only persons of prominence to
occupy it. Now that Vittorio has
been eliminated, this means that
Primo is bereft of future play.
