New York, June l5.-(P)-Rever-
berating Friday from the smashing
savagery of the most spectacular bat
tie of big men in nearly IL years Of
ring history, the fight world acclaim
ed new heavyweight champion Of
the world-Max Adelbert Baer of CAL
ifornia. curly-haired wolf OF
man who combines contemptuous
grin and the stage mannerisms Of
movie actor with a killing right hand
punch.
With magnificent gestures. absolute
disdain for anything his giant foe
could do and a sporadic but vicious
onslaught. Baer stopped the huge but
helpless Primo Camera in the
eleventh round of a fifteen round
match before roaring crowd of $4,000
in Madison Square Gardens Long Is
land bowl, thereby ending the Italians
one-year rule at the top of the heavy
weight heap abruptly and bringing
the crown back to the United States.
Camera was knocked down no less
than II times from the force of Baer's
smashing blows before Referee Ar
thur Donovan stopped the onc-sided
affair, with only A seconds to go in
the eleventh round. and awarded the
verdict to the broad-shouldered. 25-
year-old American on technical
knockout.
The giant. 1853 pound Italian was
still on his feet at the finish. after
bravely trying to continue against
odds that he knew were overwhelming
against him. but he was bloody. reel
ing wreck of figt .ng man and he
was muttering "fini-fini!' in utter
helplessness when the referee decid-
ed finally to halt the slaughter.
Camera Down II Times
Camera was knocked down three
times within the first minute of fight
ing as Baer loosed succession of long.
dynamite-laden right hands to the
head, followed by bruising lefts to the
body. The Italian was down three
times again in the second round, with
Baer rolling on top of him as they
waged the widest kind of melee.
For the seventh time in three rounds.
the Giant was flopped to his haunch-
es in the third. still too bewildered to
take anything like count and recov-
er his wits. He rallied bravely for
the next few rounds but in the eighth
he sprawled full-length to the floor
from the force of an Intellectual lunge.
Only the bell saved Primo from
knockout in the tenth round. at one
stage Of which Donovan stepped be-
tween them and changed his mind
after giving every indication Of his
intention to stop the fight. Twice
in this round and twice more. in the
eleventh. the topping Tower Of Italy
went down under crushing blows.
The 2l0-pound Baer. spotting his
giant foe more than so pounds. proved
that devastating punch can wipe
out any and all physical barriers to
handicaps. Jack Dempsey. the old
Man Mauler" was one of the first to
rush into the ring to slap the broad
back Of his California protege.
Spectacular Match
The Californian's lopsided mastery
Of the giant who has stalked through
the heavyweight ranks. his powers still
something OF a mystery until they
were left scattered all over the prem
iSes Friday night. furnished the eli
max to one of the most extraordinary
OF all heavyweight title matches. A
belated flood Of wagering sent the
challenger into the ring to 6 shot
to capture the championship.
There was never much question
about the outcome after the first
few slashing right handlers bowled
Camera off his feet. Although the
big man continually did nearly all
the leading, while Baer backed slowly
away or side-stepped with the ease of
> dancer, there was no time when
Primos stiffest left jahs or faltering
right hand uppercuts caused Baer
to do anything but make a derisive
face.
Camera at none Of the stages when
he was being most severely battered
took the advantage of a long count.
Only four times out of the eleven oc-
casions when he recoiled and hit the
floor from Baer's punches did the
timekeeper even have time to swing
his mallet. There was count of two
for the first knockdown. another for
only one second in the third and
two short counts. lasting two and
four seconds, in the tenth round.
Carnera's two trips to the floor in
the eleventh and final round were
more from his own weakness and un-
steadiness than from any greater
force in Baers lunges or punches. He
sprawled once along the ropes after
being slugged with right handler and
he went down In the middle of the
ring soon afterwards from a half push
and half-punch.
