Carnera-Loughran Affair To
Have Small Gate From All In
dications.
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 27.-Huge Pri-
mo Carnera is 5 TO 2 favorite to
retain his title in tomorrow nights
unattractive heavyweight cham
pionship brawl with little Tommy
Loughran.
On the eve of this bout, which
shapes up as the least compelling
in heavyweight championship his
tory with the single exception of
the Camera -Uzcudun farce at
Rome) everything is all set.
Carnera, the amiable oX-man
from Italy who wears the crown
that once graced such luminaries
as Sullivan, Corbett and Dempsey,
has finished preparations for the
contest. Likewise his 81 year old, 1876
pound opponent from Philadelphia.
Both loafed about their camps to-
day.
Handlers claimed both athletes
have attained physical perfection; "
have finished their strenuous
training without cuts, broken hands,
SPAWN or ringWorm. The vast diff
ference in their weights will be Of
'ficially emphasized on the scales at
2 p. m. tomorrow. Camera will re-
giSter slightly more than one-eighth
of ton, 258la pounds.
This bout was originally sched-
uled for last Friday, but it was
postponed because Of a horse show
and a couple Of social gatherings,
marking new something or other
in pugiliStic history Even now,
when the social functions have had
their day, natives and visitors alike
in this palm -fronted metropolis are
as eager for the braWl as a litter Of
chloroformed kittens.
This apathy is prevalent through"
out the country, with the exception
of one spot. There is considerable
suspense in the Flagler Street Off
ces of the Madison Square Garden
corporation, which is promoting the
affair. Whether or not any blood is
spilled in the ring, garden officials
fear that considerable red ink may
be splashed afterwards.
Thus far the garden has collect
ed about $4,000, or about one per
cent of the money spent to see the
Tunney-DempSey return engage
ment at Chicago. The gate may to-
tai between $4,000 and 100000.
Even that ora torical optimist,
James Joy Johnston, has ceased
talking about one hundred grand.
1t cost the garden $25 900 to recon-
struct the fight bowl

aging Pacho or acting as match
maker for the club, Pacho went
to the coast to become state light
weight champion and to lose his
title to Jackson whom he fights

port the main event, but with all
due respect to the other six boys
