CAVALCADE SEEN AS WINNER RICH SANTA ANITA HANDICAP
Primo Camera Stands As Colossal
Monument to Managers Stupidity
Bout With lmpelIittiere Not to
Effect Dissemination Of
Logical Challenger

New York, FED. 2l.-(NEA)-What-
ever else may be said about Primo
Camera, he forever will stand as q
colossal monument to the cupidity
and stupidity Of fight managers.
They did 100 per cent bad Job on
Camera from the outset, and have
maintained the standard since Make
Baer treated the Venetian Leviatl1an
like big bowling pin last June.
The result is that Camera today Is
back in the circus where he started.
His affair with the equally large Ray
1mpellittiere at Madison Square Ger
den on Friday puts him there.
Instead Of clamoring for a return
match with Baer to which most any
ex-champion is entitled, and attempt
ing to corner Steve Hamas, the next
man in line, in a rebuilding program,
Louis Soresi hid Carnera in South
America. There Camera added moth
ing to his prestige by permitting an
over-stuffed Victorio Campolo to stick
around for 10 rounds. Carnera ironed
out the same Campolo in two rounds
three years before.
The Camera Impellittiere bout Is
attractive only because they are the
two biggest men who ever met with
padded mittens on their hands. It
affords Camera no opportunity to
prove that he is something more than
the mere hulk that many have sus-
pected all along.
Camera Sidctracked
Meanwhile, the winner of the Ha-
mas-Max schmeling meeting In Ham
burg OH March 10 will be in a much
better position to heckle Baer.
Camera has only q six-figure note
to show for five years of effort under
Leon See, the little Fernchman to
whom he was directed by Paul Jour-
nee. who discovered Big Boy.
The avaricious See twice sent Car
nera against the late Young Stribling
abroad before the Italian knew how to
hold up his hands. The foul endings
Of these two brushes were viewed OBJ
liquely.
See made unfortunate Broadway
connections and Camera became in
volved in several unsavory perform
ances which left him discredited.
Camera must have had something
to have lived all this down, and was
far from disgraced in his battle with
Baer. Against Baer, he exhibited
courage worthy Of a finer setting
than the prize ring.
Every possible break went against
him. He trained virtually alone, with
Bill Duffy, the only man In whom he
had confidence, detained by the gov
eminent because Of income tax
trouble.
Never Stopped Trying
Camera appeared to be the lone
soonest man in the world and fright
ened when he assembled the platform.
Primo was on the floor badly hurt be-
fore he could get q grip on himself.
He twisted an ankle in q knockdown
some time before the finish. Yet he
continued carrying the fight to the
hard-hitting Baer until Referee Ar
thur Donovan interviewed.
Just how much the beating by Baer
took out Of Camera Is . question.
Certainly, it did Primo no good, but
1t will take someone more formidable
than Impellittiere to prove just what
the Ambling Alp has left.
Impellittiere is q young giant OF
Cold Springs, N. r, whom Harry Len
ny threatened to make champion
without his going to the trouble Of
fighting.
Finally. Lenny matched Impellit-
there with Tommy Ioughran. who de-
cisively outpointed him after being
badly cut above an eye. Then Walter
Neusel, the blond German chemist,
chased Impellittiere several country
miles.
Camera starts all over again in the
1mpellittiere joust, but he may be
getting break at that. It's Just as
we'll for any CT the current heavy
weights to keep just as far away from
Baer as possible.
