/ NEW YORK, June %. (UP)-
1t will be age battling youth,
speed versus Drawn, and a canny
veteran pitted against an up and
coming youth, when Jack Shar-
key and Primo Camera meet in
their 15-round world heavy
weight championship boxing bout
tomorrow night at the Madison
Square Garden Bowl. Long Island
City.
Sharkey. the champion, MAX
ing his first defense Of the title
won from Max Schemling 4 year
ago in the same ring, represents
age, speed and experience; Car
nera is the yOungster, on his way
up and possessed of the largest
body in the ring today.
SHARKEY OUTWEIGHED
Camera is 25; Sharkey 81. Car
nera will weigh in the neighbour
hood Of 26O; Sharkey no more
than POS. Although ne has Tough.
IT bouts compared to Is for the
champion, Camera has not the
background that Jack possesses.
Most of the Italina'S bouts were
setupS-build-up bouts for the
future. Sharkey's scraps were
all against the toughest men Of
the ring in the last five years
Dempsey, Heeney, Risky, Schmel-
ing, Wills, Walker and Godfrey.
Tomorrow's fight, expected 10
be witnessed by a crowd of from
$4,000 to $4,000, is the second
meeting between this pair. The
circumstances surrounding the
last fight We're far different from
those in this second encounter.
J 1t was October y, 1881, a cool
autumn night that Sharkey and
I Camera met at Ebbets Field.
Brooklyn. Sharkey won the de-
cision and placed himself back
on the top of the heavyweight di.
vision whence he had fallen as q
result of a draw which he fought
with Mickey Walker. A year be-
fore he had blown his chance Of
winning the heavyweight title Oy
fouling Max Schemling in the
fourth round.
SITUATION CHANGED
Tomorrow night the situation
is changed. Sharkey is now a
champion and Carnero a challeng-
er for his title.
Because he is king of the
heavyweight division, Sharkey to-
day was a slight favorite to win.
] But because of the recent upset
victory which Max Baer scored
over the veteran Max SchemHng.
T letting men are keeping the odds
near to even money. They figure
that Camera is at least an even
chance to come through and they
lave no intention Of paying off
juicy odds if he does.
: In fact, many boxing experts
figure Primo as an almost certain
victor. They point to his smash
ing defeat of Ernie Schaaf, who
died several day lsater in Poly
clinic Hospital.
! CARNERA CHANGED STYLE
! They add that Camera has
changed his style of punching,
that he no longer pushes with his
right but hooks with all his 800
pounds behind the blow. And
when 2GO pounds is hurled behind
a fist. thy say. not even Jack
Sharkey is going to stand up and
take it.
But there is still another an
gle, according to Sharkey back
ers. In addition to having ex-
perience and speed on his side,
Sharkey followers claim for the
champion psychological adj
vantage.
There has been much specula-
ton as to the effect of the ira
gic ending of the Ernie Schaaf
bout will have on Camera. Shar-
kew fans says that. no fighter who
killed a man in the ring ever has
come on to make a success. But
Camera hackers now point to
Max Baer who once killed a man
in the ring, as a living refuta-
ton.
Some critics believe that the
Italian, who was deeply moved by
Schaaf's death, will be afraid to
throw his heaviest punches for
fear Sharkey will not be able to
withstand them. Others. however,
believe Camera accepted Schaaf's
death as one of the breaks of the
