To borrow the descriptive phrase
from the red-head in the second
row, Abe Coleman is pretty big for
his size.
At least he was big enough, this
runt of the society of berserk behe-
moths who parts his hair only two
inches more than five feet from
the floor, to dispose OF Lou Plum
mer, Baltimore heavyweight, in two
straight tumbles in the main go OF

Dancing from his corner at the
summons of Referee Heze Clark,
the dinlinutive New Yorker, touted
as the nations Hebrew heavyweight
wrestling champ, took on the ap-
pearance of an overstutfed terrier
yapping at the heels Of a mastlft.
Actually he stacked up much bet
ter against Plummer than 1t
seemed. He weighed in at 200
pounds. Plummer topping him by
thirty pounds, and what he lacked
in height he more than made up for
in breadth and speed. His shoulders

he was not, as are most of the large
hunks of meat in the mat ring,
muscle bound to the point where 1t
required a supreme effort for him
to close his fingers into a fist.
Coleman's savage rusheS off the
ropes tantalized Plummer beyond
the big fellows endurance. Lou
Topped crafty all over the ring,
diving into and butting nothing but
the floor, as Abe skipped out of his
way. Even when Plummer did pin
the runt to the canvas with a leg
split he couldn't force a fall.
Then Plummer set the stage for
the first tumble He hurled Cole
man around the ring until Abe
looked dizzier than the third Friday
in the same week. Lou became
careless. Off the ropes Abe hur-
tied into the pit of LOUIS tummy,
and as the big man arose Coleman
flashed through the air and drop
kicked Plummer in the jaw. Twice
he repeated, and then pinned Lou
for the first fall in twenty-five
minutes.
Twelve minutes later, after toss

Coleman picked him up and threw
him with an airplane spin for the
deciding fall.

Armory will rematch Dick Raines,

CHICAGO, Feb. 28-The van
guard of the Chicago Cubs, the club
expected to give the world cham
pion New York Giants their keeneSt
opposition in the National League
pennant race, arrived today pre-
paratory to the departure tomor-
row night for the Catalina island
training camp.
Lon Warneke, Cubs right-handed
pitching ace, and Billy urges,
shortstop, were among the early
arrivals. Warneke came from a
baseball school at Hot Springs, Ark,
where he has served as instructor.
"How many games do you think
you'll win this year?" Warneke was
asked.
About as many as we come out
of with most the runs" replied the
Arkansas hog caller.
Did you gain any weight?"
"I weigh 1876 now. What would
I want to gain any weight for?"

Don't Dismiss Loughran Lightly,
but Think of the Handicap!

I can't see him winning. He has
more than mere size to defeat; he
has pretty fair fighter to defeat.
CTILL quite number of men who
- know as much about fighting
as I do, and perhaps a great deal
more, are stringing along with
Loughran who will climb through
the ropes on the short end of a
long price. They are basing their
opinion on the subsequent Sharkey
exposure, plus the fact that Car
nera looked none too impressive
against the ancient Pauline some
weeks ago.
That may be very sound reason
ing. Admittedly there can be no
doubt about the Sharkey estimate.
But I am inclined to believe the
Pauline thing can be thrown out.
That was more or less Of lark
for Camera. I happen to know he
didn't train for the fight. A better
fighter would not only have stayed
with him that night, but would have
beaten him.

Chicago Cubs Set to Head

What effect do you think the

ing?"
'Shucks, how should I know? I
amt never seen it.
Thus ended the interview with
one of the National Leagues great
est pitcher. In 1882 he won twenty
two games and lost only six, leading
the league percentage, earned runs
and most games won. Last season
he won eighteen games and lost
thirteen, many of the defeats by
one run.
IF Chuck Klein hits for us as he
did for the PhiIlieS," comments
Manager Grimm, 1--WE won't be los
ing so many of those close games
this season. 1t was lack of hitting
and not lack of pitching that beat
us last year"
Nine players, coaches Johnny Cor
rlden and Mike Kelly and Manager
Grimm will be in the Cubs party
leaving tomorrow night. -Four more
players will join the party at Kan
sas City. The rest of the squad will
report direct to Catalina island.

MIAMI, Feb. 28.-Can Tommy
1V1 Loughran spot Primo Camera
eighty pounds and beat him for the
heavyweight championship?
If you have the answer to that
question you have the answer to the
tifteen-round fight which is to be
held here tomorrow night.
Fighters have given that much
weight away before and come up on
top. But in every instance they
were superior fighters. And what
seemed to be a disadvantage in the
beginning turned out in the end to
be an advantage. The excess weight
was a handicap to the bigger man.
LOughran may yet prove to be a
superior fighter, but I don't believe
you can honestly classify him as
such before he goes into the ring
against Camera. He has been
knocked out twice, he has made
other bad fights, and he has not
been a thrilling performer.
Even so, Loughran is not fighter
to be dismissed lightly, He has one
trait that is characteristic of all
great fighters. A defeat doesn't
bother him. On the contrary, it con-
vinces him that in a return meeting
he can win. Up to now his convic-
ton has proven to be uniformly
consistent.
TTAMAS knocked him out. He
i L came back and beat Hamas.
Sharkey knocked him out. He
came back and beat Sharkey. If
nothing else, that proves he has the
fighting heart, and along with it the
fighting instinct. In his lexicon
there is no such word as despair.
That type is not easily beaten.
What does Loughran have to whip
besides hulk? I doubt that anybody
knows the complete answer. Camera
won the championship by knocking
out Sharkey. That made him look
very good, indeed. At least it did at
the time Not many fighters were
knocking Sharkey out in those days.
1t was blow to the prestige of
Camera when Sharkey reneged on
his retirement and came back to
pick up a few stray dollars. When
he came back it was plain to every
body that he had very little left,
and that Camera hadn't accom-
,plished great deal. Men like
Levinsky and Loughran had him on
the floor.
MYTH this in mind it is neces-
w sary to soften your superla-
tives in discussing Camera. 1t may
be that the fellow is still a circus
freak with oversize feet. Certainly
you can not lift him to greatness on
the strength of his victory over
Sharkey. Levinsky and Loughran
did much to discount that victory.
That brings you to this point:
Does Loughran have to be very good
to whip Camera? If you spend
much time mulling over the back
ground of the two fighters you are
very likely to decide that he doesn't,
and in arriving at that decision you
may turn out to be eminently cor
rect.
These backgrounds can be and
very often are misleading. I think
it is better to trust your own judg-
ment. And in this instance my
judgment is that Loughran hasn't
enough to win with. It will not
surprise me If he lasts tire limit, but

Camera and Tommy Loughran in

The wisdom of the betting circles

odds in Miami now are three to one
that Primo will retain his crown
against the smaller and faster
Loughran. Youth and size will
count for Primo, while Tommy'S

Virtually everything is on the side
of the champion-betting, weight
height, reach and age. Loughran,
however, has the greater experience,
and it is upon this factor that he
hopes to capitalize by skipping away
from the Italian in emergencies or
attacking with his rapier-ike f1icks
and jabs.
Dopesters Predict KayO
Whether Loughran will be able to
continue this sort of an attack de-
ponds on his ability to avoid Car
nera's club-hke blows Consensus
among boxing men today over
whelmingly pointed to a knockout
victory by Camera inside of eight or
ten rounds. But there were some,
very much in the minority, who be-
lieved that should the battle to-
morrow last fifteen rounds, the
Philadelphia would win the deci-
sion.
In keeping away from Camera,
Tommy must fight a defensive bat
tie most Of the way. And for this
reason the scrap has not had the
popular battle appeal that a speed
against strength, David versus
Goliath fight usually has.
The unattractive possibilities that
the bout offers, plus a storm which
swept this city on Monday, and
showers yesterday and today, has
kept the fans away from the box
Offices. Should the bout draw a
total gate of 100000, the promoters
will consider themselves very for
tunate.
Meanwhile Loughran advanced
on Miami from his West Palm
Beach retreat while his opponent
loafed at home in North Miami.
The weigh-in is expected to show
Camera at approximately 260
pounds compared to 1875 for Lough-
ran.
When they enter the ring tomor-
row night, Camera will be some
thing like a 3 to l favorite.
