JACK SHARkEY
LIKES PRN|NO; :
THAT s ALL

NEW YORK, June 14.-Argu,
ments on the outcome of the Baer-
Carnera fight tonight we're as free
as the air today as the boys tried
to win over friends for their man.
Here is the way some Of them
called it:
Jack SharkqS, former heavy.
weight champion of the world:
81 like Carnera? That's all"
Joe Jacobs:
"Carnera is my choice. Baer
hasn't taken good care of him
self, and is not in One-tenth the
condition he was when he
knocked out SchmeIing last
year. Carnera will be the cooler
Of the two under fire"
Clarence Gillespie:
"Carnera q cinch."
Charles Johnston:
"Carnera on decision"
Jim Tully:
"Baer will kill Camera. He is
. slayer"
Benny Leonard, former light
weight champion Of the world:
'T like Camera because Of his
ability to box and because Of
his marvellous Defense"
Floyd Fitzsimmons, Benton Har-
ber, Mich, fight promoter:
"I like Camera. Baer will
have to hit Primo on the but
ton to win"
Monte Brice:
"Baer in q walk"
Mike Jacobs:
"No predictions. Both are
my friends"
John Ferrone:
"Baer must knock out Car
nera, or he won't win.".
The Washington times., 1934-06-14

betting. One just doesn't bet on
anything so seemingly unstable
as this pair.
Until he contracted a cold, Sun
day; Camera looked the part Of
a natural, with his size, his box
ing ability, his condition and the
fact that he has fought three
times since Baer fought once. The
latter not only has been out a
year but has spent most of it
with his feet under a night club
table. He has, in fact, played
them high in Hollywood and on
Broadway, but he must be in bet
ter than fair shape now; he can
punch and don't for moment let
his buffoonery deceive you. When
the time comes, all that banter
of his runs down the middle Of
Main Street and he's simply out
for no good.
Be that as it might, it would
seem that he'll have to win in the
early rounds or not at all. This
Camera often makes the mistake
Of punching with a punching
fighter, particularly when hit,
but If he can settle down into
stride, he'll just be too hard to
beat. While he's settling, how.
ever. Mr.. Baer may nail him, even
as ne nailed Schmeling. It
wouldn't be surprising if both
were staggered right under the
opening bell.
May Miss Duffy
II that happens to Carnera, he
may miss the more or less expert
services Of his chief second, Mr..
Will Duffy, who has been unfor-
tunately detained out of town,
In Mr.. Duffy's place, will be Dan
Morgan, an old,line boxing man
who knows more than Mr.. Duffy
can ever hope to acquire.
The time is set, 10 o'clock to.
night; the crowd is ready, the
principals are on the scene, Car.
nera having arrived this morning
while Baer came in from camp
last night. They will weigh in to-
day at 2 p. m, an empty gesture
in a heavyweight fight, but ap-
parently necessary one.
Briefly, the big moment is at
hand. The stage is set. Curtain!I
The Washington times., 1934-06-14

Cameras best blow In straight
!, boxing Is q left hook which
singly hasn't the power in it to
lay an opponent low, but the &C.
cumulative effects of which can
by no means be said to be a
health builder.
Max Baer is a single-track
fighter. He points for the
. place he hopes to hit, always
trying for that one knock blow
which will end his travail for
the evening. For feinting and
the other fine arts of fighting,
Baer has no tact at all. He'll
pound away, miss, laugh it off,
dance around, measure off his
opponent and try again. Thus
he is, like Jack Dempsey, ever
q dangerous menace.
Contrasted to Cameras COM
paratively active 12-month,
Max Baer has stayed as far
away from the ring as it is
humanity possible since he
K.O.'d Schmeling June 8 a
year ago. Thus Primo comes
into the ring tonight in finer
competitive edge than Baer.
That, together with his, SUI
perior build and boxing ability
automatically gives Camera
the call.
Nobody with 4 grain Of COM
mon sense can deny that
The Washington times., 1934-06-14

Along those lines tonight's
battle will be waged-a serious,
cautious Camera will be meaSur-
ing strength and skill against a
care free, catch as catch can
child Of nature with enough
dynamite in his right hand to
drop any human target that will
remain still long enough to let
him land on an exposed position
Of his anatomy.
But Camera, despite his pro-
portions, is no stationary BULLS
eye for Make Baer or anyone
else. Carnera learned to shift
his feet long before he learned
to work his forearmS and fists
back and forth. AS long ago as
Carnera's foul at the hands Of
George Godfrey in 1880, he was
agile a-foot,. and so tonight's
task for Baer is by no means one
OF simply stepping up and clout-
ing Camera.
Two Tender Points
They say Camera does not
like it in the stomach.
They also say he does not
care for it on the chin. AS for
that, show me anyone who does
crave punishment in either re-
gion. Isn't it true that those
are very tender points and that
no man is exempt from extreme
SensitiveneSs at either?
In rebuttal to such claims
about Camera shrinking from
attack in those two zones, may
I ask If Baer expects to leave
his chin and midsection totally
exposed?
In boxing parlance tonight's
scrap Is the old story involving
a boxer and a fighter. It may
amaze you to know that right
now Camera, with three fights
under his belt in the last year,
is almost as aStute a boxer as
was Gene Tunney. Primo makes
few false motions in the ring.
Cave-Man Swing
He has a chopping right hand
which he brings into play only
when he is desperate. It Is the
down-swing Of q cave man on

may, in the light of later events,
be quite without Justification.
This pair, probably the biggest
and strongest that ever fought
for the championship, may brawl
desultorily and namely for the
complete schedule Of IS rounds.
But that's not the reason the
crowd has paid $25 ringside prices
and a total of almost $400, 900
the bumper yield Of four long,
haggard years.
They will expect more than
action. They'll be there because
they expect the principals to do
great violence to one another and,
frankly, these are not principals
who would care to major in cul
ture and refinement. AS matter
Of fact, they'll kick, bite, gouge
and claw. They do not like each
other: anyhow, they didn't the
first time they met socially. After
that, it seems their repugnance
rapidly ripened into something
really worth while and fine.
Used to Advantage
AS for Camera, his more than
26O pounds have been used to ad
vantage in recent fights, especial
ly when he clasped the victim in
a smothering embrace or Stomped
upon his careless feet. They say
he can't punch. But when he
even looks at you, it hurts.
In the midst of this profound
uproar will be a comparatively
little man in gray, delegated by
the New York commission to call
what shots he may and, in gen.
eral, enforce order. This official,
whoever he is, may find himself
in the spot occupied by Dave
Barry in the seventh round at
Chicago or by Johnny Gallagher,
the night he stood around in q
daze and let Dempsey go over
Firpo like an estimate.
The man might be Gunboat
Smith, because Of his size, but
that gentleman no longer is IN
great favor with the commission.
My guess, in fact, is that the
nominee will be a man, picked
largely because Ancit Hoffman,
of the Baer camp. has objected
to him, namely, Arthur Donovan,
son Of old Mike. which is all
right. I don't think Mike had a
Marcel.
Even Money Bet
The betting was rapidly reced-
ing toward even money today,
| However, there was very little
The Washington times., 1934-06-14

All but one Of the old famil-
lar touches has been applied.
To date neither contestant has
jumped in q lake to save a
drowning grl, but every other
stimulating effect has been ap-
pied to a fight which has need
ed no reSuscitation from the
moment the match was made.
It is and has been q natural
and will be a financial and pu-
giliStic success.
John Law Steps In
Even the percentages of the
champion, Primo Camera, has
been thrown into litigation
through the temerity Of a Lon
don waitress.
The boys have tossed verbal
blasts back and forth at each
other.
One Of the local boxing COM
missionerS a week ago stepped
into Baer's bungalow and pro-
nounced him unfit to be out OF
q wheel chair.
The ticket sale, it seems, had
been tagging a bit in view Of
the unorthodox training habits
attributed to the challenger.
and Immediately the two fight
ers threw off the shackles Of
sports page publicity, and ap-
peared in unmodest headlines
on the first pages.
Then to lend spice and color
lest the public forget there was
to be a fight on this very day,
Carnera came down in his
training camp with a cold,
which settled in his throat no
later than the last weekend.
This sent doctors rushing to
his camp with stethoScopes and
tongue depressorS. Carnera had
to open his trap and say:
"Ah!"
Had it been Baer, he would
have turned the ordeal into an
act and said:
"Ah, nertz"
And therein lies the difference
In the men.
On the one hand Carnera iS
colorlesS and unimaginative.
On the other, Baer Is IRE
sponSible, headleSS and needless.
