WAGERING FIGURES
!. PRE-F|GHT PUZZLE
"DecIining" Champ Appears
to Retain Big Edge on
"Improving" Primo.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

~ vEW YORK, June 26.-If box
N ing matches were decided
Y on the basis of bulk, Jack
Sharkey could concede his
heavyweight championship to
Primo Camera now and go home
to Boston and ia e care of the
flowers he likes to talk about.
But there's more to it than that
and, unless Jack has turned over
night into one of those well known
'hollow Shells" then he should be
rated a strong favorite for his 15-
round title defense against the
big Italian\ in Madison Square
Gardens outdoor bowl in Long Is
land City Thursday night.
One of the most puzzling aspects Of
pre-fght speculation has revolved
around the betting odds. Where Shar-
KEY was a 4-to-1 shot when he fought
Carnera for the first time two years
ago. the odds now have dropped to
Z to with a possibility OF further
shortening before champion and chal-
lenger climb through the ropes about
$50 (E. S. T) Thursday evening.
Sharkey, nearing 81, undoubtedly has
lost some Of his speed. and by the same
token Camera has improved amazingly
In the last two years, but the champion
still appears to be much the better
fighting man. He'll have to concede so
pounds in weight and 7 inches in
height, but he did it before and gave
Camera beating over the same long
15-round route.

Carnera boxed eight rounds against
four sparring partners at Pompton
Lakes, N. j., yesterday and planned
another workout today. After that he'll
take it easy until the night Of the fight.
Sharkey, at Orangeburg, N. Y, went

The Sharkey Of 1888.
A S far as one can see, Sharkey
II has lost none of his boxing
skill. He knows his stuff. He
still Is one of the best OF all box
ers, with a pair of quick and
active hands and enough foot
speed and body action to handle
himself extremely well.
He also is chuck full of confidence
due largely to the fact that he won
in a gallop from Camera in their first
meeting.
To Sharkey, Camera is Just a big
fellow who can't punch much Sharkey
figures he not only can outlook and
outspeed Carnera, but that he can out
punch him.
And Sharkey's mental attitude be-
fore fight means about 80 per cent.
But, temperamentaI, inclined
to be moody, inclined at times
toward disc0uragement, a lot will
depend on how Sharkey starts.
If he finds Carnera Is tougher
party than he expects to meet,
you can look for a let-down.
The uphill trail never has been one
OF Sharkey's fatorite roads. But if he
gets the jump, you can look for action.
A year ago Sharkey had overlooked
Max Schmeling's improvement since
their first meeting. In that first fight
he had clubbed the German almost at
will through the first three rounds.
It was evident from a talk I had
with him before their second fight that
he expected to do exactly the same
thing. But when he found that Schmel-
ing was much harder to hit, that
Schmeling's punch could bruise and
from offensive to defensive war.
He teu back on toot,Dork,

Mental and Physical Sides.
CHARKEY, physically. is equipped to-
y day with quite enough to take de-
ciSion over Carnera-over the Car
nera that won from Birkie and King
Levinsky-but with little or nothing to
spare.
He knows more of the finer art of
boxing, such as feinting and weaving, or
making an opponent miss. Sharkey is
smart and he knows what it is all about.
But after one has been around
or 10 years, it is asking lot
to give away so much youth and
30 much weight, height, reach
and power, to say nothing Of the
extra keennesS that comes on the
way up.
Sharkey is in good shape He always
has been a first-class worker, as far as
getting into condition goes. He has had
the advantage Of working with q spar

he seems to be supremely con-
f1dent. Sharkey always has felt that If
he could whip man once he could re-
peat at any stated interval.
He believes he has Cameras number
and will be able to feint him out of
position, to befuddle him, and then win
with something to spare.
