CARNE:RA-bAER BATTLE | % MS
 FOR JUNE IA
Heavyweight Co ntest Moves Along Another
 Hitch-Conditions
By HERBERT w. BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer)

NEW YORK, March 27.-Unless a last minute hitch develops, Prl- mo Camera vii defend his heavy weight championship against Max Baer here June IA.
 Setting up a new an-time rec ord for pugilistic conferences, rep resentatives of Camera, Baer and Madison Square Garden finally have reached an agreement on terms for the match which will be held in the Gardens outdoor bowl on Long Island.
 Ancil Hoffman, representing the challenger, put his signature to the contracts. Louis Soresi, Prl- mos manager, will follow suit shortly, the Garden announced.
 Roughly, the conditions of the agreement were understood to be:
 1. Hoffman dropped his demand that Jack Dempsey be made CO., promoter of the match.
 2. In return, the Garden agreed to give Baer more than customary challenger's share of 121s per cent of the receipts, probably 20 per cent. Out of that, Baer will be able to "cut in" Dempsey himself
 3. Baer agreed to the Gardens demand that in the event hs whips Camera, he defend the title once under the Gardens promo ton.
 4. The Garden, however, agreed that Baer will be allowed to select the date for title defense and to have hand in naming his oppo- nents. This would give the Cali fornian a chance to fight twice this summer and then return to Dempsey's promotipnal banner. It was Dempsey who promoted Baer's bout with Max Schmeling last summer when Baer knocked out the Teuton in ten rounds.
 It took a battery of lawyers just about 72 hours to arrive at set of contracts acceptable to all con- cerned. Camera, with one eye on a $65,00o guarantee for South American tour, wasn't anxious to fight as early as June. He would have preferred a September date.
 Hoffman, as soon as he had sign- ed, left for California to locate Baer and put the Livermore Lar ruper to work. Baer hasn't fought since he knocked out Schmeling last June. Camera, on the other hand, shouldn't have so much to do. The big Italian trained faith fully for his recent bout in Flor ida against Tommy Loughran when he outpointed the Philadelphia veteran in Is rounds.

I have already whipped Baer, Shar- key and most of the others who have any claim to ranking among the heavyweights."
BOTH BOXERS LOOK ABROAD

Another curious angle of after math to the Florida fistic festival this winter is that both principals think they can make more money now by tawing boat ride to for eign shores.
 In a way it's the tip-off on pug ilistic conditions in the United States, where the combination of racketeering, chiseling and poor matchmaking has reduced profes- sional boxing affairs to their low est ebb in at least 20 years.
 Cameras board of management has lucrative offers in the main capitals of South America. The big Italian should find natural fol- lowing, as well as profitable bus mess, in such spots as Buenos Ali res, Rio de Janeiro, Montevidec, and other Latin American centers of sporting culture. It's bit late now to drag the one-time wild bull of the Pampas, Luis Angel Firpo, into the ring again but Victoria Campolo might jab off De Preem for few rounds.
 Loughran's manager, Joe Smith, meanwhile is considering a pro- position to take the Philadelphia boxing master to France for possi- ble fights with Max Schmeling Pauline Uzcudun, and others in Germany, Spain and France. Joe theory is that Tommy's reputation for going the route with Camera will provide good advance. ballyhoo abroad.

R ALAN GOULD ]

Tommy Loughran picked up more popularity on the strength of losing a 15-round decision to ponderouS Primo Camera in the late lamented Battle of Miami than he had collected for any one of the notable triumphs over stretch of 15 years
 Strangely enough, it has done more to bolster the Loughran con- fidence, too, than anything else in a long while. Tommy himself was supremely confident the night he stepped into the ring but so many friends had shaken their heads a bit sadly and warned him to be prepared for the worst that he must have harbored some hidden doubts as to his ability to with stand the tremendous weight and power of the giant opponent
 When ne found himself not only erect but still winning the widest cheers of the scattered crowd through the last few rounds, it must have been heartening to the former light heavyweight king. The ovation he received on leaving the ring and at every subsequent public appearance in the south has con- vinced Loughran he can do some thing farther to justify this public support
 I'm far from through" says Tommy. Tt may sound trite, but I think have just to began to know how to fight and handle these big fellows. I'm sure I could whip Camera in another bout and who else is there for me to fear?

CARNERA CAN TAKE IT. TOO

Loughran, having boxed both, thinks Baer would hang the kayo punch on Camera but he hasn't much support in this prediction among the fistic experts.
 Bigger, stronger and a harder hitter than Loughran, Baer un- doubtedly would figure to do more damage but he would have to do it quickly to avoid being worn down by Cameras rushes and body attack. The conviction is growing that Carera for all his lack of real hitting ability, can absorb as well as inflict plenty of punish ment The Italian is much more improved all-around fighter than his performance against so skill ful a boxer as Loughran indicated
