But there, except for the grace
of divine Intervention, might have
gone Thomas J. Loughran, heavy
weight champion of the world.
In other words, he did not win
the heavyweight championship
from Primo Camera last night
out there at the Madison Square
Garden arena while most OF
Miami was turning the back Of
it's apathetic neck. He didn't
even get a chance to fight for 1t,
owing to the fact that it wasn't
q fight.
It was a hammer-throwing con-
test and the only rules were three
turns and stay in the circle. Mr..
Loughran had very distinguished
role. He was the hammer and,
in the course of Is rounds, ne
flung right out of everything, IN
cluding the title.
There was a time, through the
third to the sixth round, when
this pitifully meagre man, out
weighed by 86 pounds and as
fragile as a wine glass, not only
could have won but looked as
though he would. But the only
thing he could have won was the
fight and they weren't holding
one of these last night. 1t was
strictly a man-throwing contest
and Mr.. Loughran's status, gallant
soul though he might be, was un-
fortunate. He was the man.
Altogether, this was something
les than an engaging spectacle.
Big Man Too Agile
The little man had to be free
tn dance around and about and
in and out and the big man was
entirely too agile to allow for that.
He also was too braSh and rougn
to allow the other man to forget
him once he got him in none
too tender embrace.
This was all too clear as early
as the second round when Car
nera, whirling Loughran of bal
ance by grabbing him with a lett,
belabored him with right until
his knees tottered and shook. The
referee spoke very firmly to Car
nera at the time but somehow
Loughran didn't feel comforted.
There were times, in fact. when
Carnera almost charged him out
of the ring, yet the little man
speeded up to take the third and
fourth and get an even break IN
the sixth with rapid leftS to the
face and an occasional right TO
the body and jaw. Camera being
bothered by Loughran's right
cross.
Nevertheless, ne still had his

from his spill. Malcewicz then
continued on to Philadelphia,
where he, has an important en-
gagement with Sammy Stein to-
night.
Bout Ends in Draw
The best bout Of the evening
was offered by Sammy Stein and
Rudy Dusek. It ended in a draw.
It was filled with rough work,
with Rudy at his best along these
lines. The boys ended up wrest-
ling in their bare feet, if that
means anything to anybody. AL
though a 45-minute act, this one
seemed to last only five minutes.
In other wrestles, Hans Steinke
punished Jim Clinstock, or so it
seemed; Buck Weaver put IN the
power to defeat Dan Mcdonald,
and Paul Boesch Shellacked Jack
Spellman. A crowd Of nearly
5000 people thoroughly enjoyed
the nights "wrassling."

tired from all the wrestling and
brawling that he ceased trying
to circle the giant with the start
of the seventh. And the start Of
the seventh was the finish OF
Loughran. From that moment, he
never took a round and, at the
end, it was only a question OF
whether he would be able to last
to the final bell.
That he did must forever rS'
main q rebuke to Cameras
ability. Camera wouldn't have
won this prize fight by any code
except that Of the tap room
and bar.
Pulled Into Punches
He had to pull this midget
heavyweight into punches. He had
to grab his left arm and whid
him off balance in order to give
his own right hand some sem
blance of credibility. He had to
almost violate every rule before IL
was possible for two judges and
referee to see him as the better
man. The referee, a Mr.. Leo
Shea, did the best he could. But
his was, of necessity, the mega
tive role. He acted after the
fact, not before it. with the re-
suit that Camera was always
very contrite and apologetic and
Loughran always very muSsed
and blotto. He even had his foot
stepped upon three times during
the evening.
But, in spite of all that had
been said and written about this
subject, there Is really nothing
that can be done about this.
Even after the stopper has in
dicated that he is completely un-
nerved by what has happened, the
foot still hurts.
It is probably because Of this
and other things that Joe Smith,
Mr.. Loughran's manager and er'
rand boy, was up to a late hour
last night, telling one and all
that he wants a return engage
ment and that Loughran can't
miss the next time.

a remote chance of Tommy'S
ever beating Camera, if anybody
is entitled to another chance, it
is Loughran. He earned a re-
turn bout with a show of stam-
ina and starch that will have
the fight world talking for
long, long time. He refused to
quit against overwhelming
odds.
He Made the Show
1t is my thought that Lough-
ran saved what might have
turned out to be a very one
sided fight. The underdog from
the day that the match was
made, if the Philadelphian had
lost by a K. o. as many thought
he might, the 10000 spectators
would have gone away from the
ringside with one of those, II
told you so," looks of disgust on
their countenanceS.
Yes, Loughran made himself
look mighty good and he made
Jimmy Johnston, the match
maker look good-irreSpective Of
the financial success of the
affair. Universally pronounced
a poor piece of mating of fight
ers, the show was saved by the
guy who was supposed to have
no business in the same ring
with the italian.
In a few days, Loughran will
come north to his Quaker City
home and you may expect him
to get just as great a welcome
as if he were bringing home the
worlds heavyweight champion
ship. There's a lot of local
pride in him up yonder that I
could never understand from
his ring record-but I can grasp
it now. He's the surprise and
the toast of the ring world TO-
day because of his outright
gamenesS.
The Old Writ Is In
There Is one feature of the
Miami fight that stamps 1t as
of championship caliber, the
same being that it did not
eventuate without one Of the
principles being served with
writ. No big fight is complete
without summons. Primo
was the victim of such plot
to tie up his money, the
grievance coming from a
Florida night club which al
leges Cameras manager, Bill
Duffy, is in arrears in the
amount of $2,261, an item Of
rent claimed by a Daytona
Beach rendezvous.
It looks as though the joke
is on the plaintiffs, because
there was not enough money
in the house last night to sue
over. If that night club really
wanted to get its dough, the
time for it to have sprung the
writ would have been days in
advance OF the flgnC Win q
view to stimulating some in
terest at the gate.
Well, my friends, it looks as
though Florida will not go for
fight spectacles of any sort.
It seems to want no part Of
them. Fishing and the horse
racing and the dog tracking
and golfing yes but the
tourists seem to feel they can
see a good fight at home any
time, without being asked to
pay $40 tops for the privilege.
I shouldn't be surprised to see
Madison Square Garden pull
stakes completely from Florida
now.

LOughrGn Game to Core
In Staying Is Rounds
With 86-POund Anchor

There may be a chapter in
the ring annals dealing with a
greater degree of gameness
than Tommy Loughran showed
in lasting the full IS rounds
against Prirna Carnera in
Miami, Fla, last night, but if
there is, it was never brought
to my attention.
AS I sat in rapt attention
to the radio account, hearing
how Carnera constantly hov-
cred over his challenger, NOV
ing in and advancing through
out in hope of crushing Tommy
as he did Jack Sharkey last
summer, I marveled that each
ending bell sounded with
Loughran still on his feet.
I can't see that Loughran
dropped the least bit of pres
tige in losing his first crack
at the title after is years of
building himself up to the OPP
portunity. Any man who can
weather Is rounds Of hooking
and jabbing and cutting at the
hands of the Italian monster
and still stagger to his corner
has a heart of iron and a will
that must be impossible to
break
Weight Handicap
When one ponders the 86
pounds advantage Camera had
in weight and the five years
of youth that was also in his
favor, the greater seems the
miracle that Tommy Loughran
survived without even going
down once
AS often as Carnera landed
on Tommy, body and head,
the thought occurs that per-
haps it is Primo who has
turned out to be the light
Taper. Where were those
blows of which Carnera proved
he was capable in the Sharkey
fight last summer? There is a
question a lot of people are
asking themselves today, and
I am among those who are
curious.
The accounts do not say that
Loughran did any great damage
to the champion. Truth to tell
there we're few who expected
him to and these figured Lough-
ran would wear himself out
early trying to Whittle down
the big fellow.
Time and again Tommy was
Jared to his toes and a fighter
with less courage would have
collapsed in a heap. But two
things held Loughran in good
stead, his legs and his noodle.
Used Head Always
1t is apparent that the chal-
lenger was in there thinking at
all times and on many occasions
when Camera would rain a tat
too of blows to his head and
body, Tommy shook 'em off and
danced away on those ancient
dogs which have been treading
the resin since 1919.
In view of the outcome of the
Miami fight, I believe Carnera
and LoughrSn could movc into
Philadelphia or New York next
summer and play to a lot Of
people.
Loughran certainly proved he
is no pushover TO: a man weigh
ing nearly a hundred pounds
more and while off of last
nights scrap there may be only

gress Hall guests.
An interesting program of short

Following the dinner there will be
dancing and a "Dinty Moore" for

Many enthusiastic acceptances have
been received from local and out-of-
