Glory for Vanquished.

ITO THE gallant loses went what
ever real flstic laurels there we're
in bizarre bout, fought between
showers before the smallest crowd and
gate" since prize fighting was an out
law sport. Camera won because he
was too big for even the marvellous
Loughran to handle for as long as
IS rounds-45 minutes-of mauling,
wrestling and clubbing. but Loughran
thrilled the small crowd, which
cheered him as heartily as it had
booed the champions tactics from
start to finish.
Pending an official count today it
was estimated scarcely more than
$4,000 spectators, of whom perhaps a
third were there "on the house" wit
messed the first heavyweight title
fight in Florida since Jim Corbett
knocked out Charley Mitchell at
Jacksonville in the gay eos. The
gate receipts were placed between
$4,000 and $50, 1000. This marked
the lowest ebb for the heavyweight
championship business since Corbett
fought Bob Ftzsimmons at San Fran
cisco in 1902. 1t contrasted sharply
with the first big bout in this Winter
playground in 1929. when StribIing
and Sharkey attracted a gate" of
100000.
Loughran's brilliant fight against
the heaviest odds any heavyweight
challenger in history has faced, a
deficit of 86 pounds in the ring and
better than a 1-to-5 shot in the bet
ting beforehand, was the only factor
that saved the bout from being a
complete flop.

LOUGHRAN SEEKS

Claims He Had Battle Won
Until Champion Stepped

BY ALAN GOULD,

\ 4 IAMI, Fla, March 2.-Due
M exclusively to his su-
wv perior poundage and
4 power, the combination
of which proved entirely too
much for even the ion-hearted
challenge of Tommy Loughran
to Offset in IS wearying rounds,
Primo Carnera retains posses
sion of the world heavyweight
boxing championship today and
turns his thoughts toward the
completion of negotiations to
meet his next American rival,
Max Baer.
The title was just about all that
the mountainous man from Italy had
to show for his ponderous efforts last
night in clubbing back the attempt of
Loughran to match his mere 184
pounds of beef and Drawn.
The champion, in his second title
defense since he knocked out Jack
Sharkey last Summer, won decisively
enough. He gained the unanimous
vote of the three officials and a mar
gin in 10 of the Is rounds, but he
was unable to land a single punch
with sufficient power to dislodge
Loughran from his feet. Camera
simply dubbed Loughran, by slow,
cumbersome process into such a state
Of WEAKNESS that after holding his
own with a dazzling exhibition for
the first 10 rounds, Philadelphia
Tommy lasted the closing five rounds
mainly on raw courage and display
OF boxing skill that never deserted
him.

This fortnight statement,
spoken with labored breath
into the microphone by

what one might have ex-

scrapper as the Philadel-

doomed to disappointment
before it Started-with a
feeling of downright pity for
the gallant veteran, but with
keen appreciation of his
gameneSS also.
Then Bill Duffy, chief of
Cameras staff of managers,
came on to tell his unseen
audience that in all his ring
experience he never had wit
messed a greater exhibition
against odds than that dis
played by Loughran, adding
that Tommy had demon
strated that with the excep-
ton of the champion, he was
the greatest heavyweight in
the ring today and had
proved himself capable of
beating Baer or any of the
others.
This undoubtedly was over
stating the case by a consid-
cradle margin. but there is
no getting away from the
fact that Loughran, giving
away half a foot in height,
Sc pounds in weight, many
inches in reach and precious
years in age, by going the
limit of Is rounds with his
huge opponent thoroughly
amazed the sports world
which had not only rated
him no better than l to 5
to win, but had established.
the odds of ! to 2 that he
would be kayoed.
From both an artistic and
financial standpoint the
bout was a prize flzzle, just
as was predicted, with the re-
ceipts even smaller than the
most peSsimistic estimate.
At no time did Loughran
appear to have a chance to
win, and during the last five
frames when Camera opened
up, it simply was a question
whether Tommy could remain
upright to the finish.
But the handsome and
genteel Irishman, who has
spent half of his 81 years in
the ring, earned only the ut
most respect and admiration
for the raw courage he
flashed against overwhelming
odds.
Today all hats are off to
Thomas Patrick Loughran.
