QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

L. H. p: 81 would like some infor-
nation on skin diseases and the
itch. What precautions to take and
what to do about it2 Can those
germs live in school books? How
long? Would a summer vacation of
three or four months kill them if
the books weren't opened2 Is there
a certain stage of the itch when it
can be caught from some enc, or is
it contracted at all stages?"
Answer: The cause of itch ia the
scabies mite. It burrows by choice
into the tender skin between the An
gers. If the person. is cleanly. it
may stop here.( Otherwise, it goes
all over the body. It can be spread
from person to person at any stage.
1t probably never dies out spontane-
ously. Sulphur ointment rubbed or
the itchy spots t. the cure. I do not
know whether it has ever been de.
termined how long the itch mite can
live outside the body, but as 4 pre-.
caution, if you put the school book
in the hot oven for an hour, the,
will be killed.
]. K: SIS there such a thing as
hereditary varicose veins? Would
that explain the appearance Of blu<
veins on The thighs at the early ag
of Is? Is there any possible way
removing these veins?"
Answer-The small superficial
veins that would appear just unde
the skin Of the thigh are not vari
cose veins. Those can be remove
by freezing with carbon dioxid
snow, or by electrolysis and otht
methods known to dernatologists.

WHETHER you can prevent a
cold or head it off once it has begun
is a question that probably never
will be settled. The advocates of
one form Of treatment or the other
point to their successes, but the
skeptics say that if, for some rea-
son, they do not have cold after
the treatment nobody knows
whether it was the treatment that
stopped it or whether they were not
going to have a cold anyway.
For what they are worth, how
ever, let us examine the plans:

statistics are those from corpora
lions such as the New York Edison
Company, which inoculated 1000 of
its employees and found that go per

Company, of Philadelphia, inocu-
lates all its employees with vaccines
and reports the incidence of colds
much reduced.

Gang Desperate

For instance, it must have
been a terrible surprise and con-
siderable of an eye-opener to
Camera the night he fought
Tommy Loughran in Miami as
heavyweight champion of the
world. It was a no-deciSion
match and a bad one for the
gang to make, but they had to
do something because they were
desperate for money at that
time.
The Loughran fight had to
go on the level because no one
had ever managed to tamper
with Loughran, and neither he
nor his manager was afraid of
guns. During the first Carnera
hit Loughran more than a dozen
Of the same uppercuts that had
stretched Sharkey twitching on
the canvas and never even red
dened Tommy's face. Loughran
staggered Carnera several times
with right hands and was him

from a punch. We had all seen
Loughran put on the floor by a
175-pounder. If a man weighing
around $50 pounds, as Primo did
for that fight, hit him flush on
the jaw and couldn't drop him,
and yet had knocked out one of
the cleverest heavyweights in
the business, it wasn't hard to
arrive at a conclusion. It was
obvious that he was phony for

-. Where the fight could not be
bought-that is to say, where
the fighter was unwilling to sue
cumb to a tap on the elbow for
a price-guns were produced by
sinister strangers to threaten
him, and where neither threats
nor money were sufficient to
bag the fight. he was crossed or
tricked, as in the case of Bombo
Chevalier, big California Negro
who was fascinated by the size
of Cameras chin, and he was
going to hit it, just to see what
would happen. Between rounds
one of Chevalier's own attend
ants rubbed some inflammatory
substance into his eyes So that
he lost all interest in tapping
anybody'S chin.
AS adviser and codirector of
this tour, Bill Duffy was cut in.
Bill was then in the night-club
and fight-managing business. It
is a curious commentary upon
the conduct of boxing around
New York that Duffy was al
lowed to operate as a manager
and a secono when there was a
rule on the books of the State
Athletic Commission that no
one ever convicted of a felony
was to be eligible for any kind

that it had been. But there

Primo and his handlers and fix

thence out of the country. The
Peterson fight in Madison

away with. They found out
that they could get away with

His Garden BOuO

He wore black fighting trunks
on the side Of which was en-
broidered a wild boar in red
silk. He disdained the usual
fighters bathrobe and instead
wore a sleeveless vest Of a
particularly hideous shade Of
green, and on his head a cap OF
the same shade, several sizes
too large for him and with an
enormous visor that made him
look even larger than he was.
Leon See, the Frenchman, then
his manager, was a small man.
The bucketcarriers and sponge
wielders we're chosen for size
too - diminutive men; every
thing was done to increase the
impression of Primo's size.
His head was large, even for
the size of his body, and looking
at him you we're Immediately
struck with his drea d ful l
gummy mouth and sharp, ir-
regular, snaggle teeth. His lips
were inclined to be loose and
flabby. He had good nose and
fine, kind brown eyes. But his
legs looked even more enormous
and tree-like than they were,
owing to the great blue bulging
varicose veins that wandered
down them on both sides and
stuck out far enough so that
you could have knocked them
off with a baseball bat.
This was the horror that
came into the Madison Square
Garden ring and sent sincere
shudder through the packed

horrible until he commenced to
fight, when he became merely
pitiful and an object demanding

Stumble Continued

Duffy usually split even on
things with his dearest friend,
Owen Madden, better known as
Owney. The Philadelphia under
world collaborated through the
medium of Mxaimillian Boo-Boo
Hoff, and the same courtesies
were extended all the way
through to the Pacific Coast,
where occurred the Bombo Che
Waller incident. There was an
investigation resulting In the
suspension of afew ti1ffnnp portaflt
people. But Camera and his
swindle went merrily onwards.
And it continued until he won
the heavyweight championship
of the world by ostensibly
knocking out Jack Sharkey,
then world champion, in the
sixth round, with a right upper
cut. I say ostensibly because
nothing will ever convince me
that that was an honest prize
fight, contested on its merits.
If that fight was on the level,
it wasn't like either Of the COM
panieS operating the two pugs.
AS far as Primo knew, the right
uppercut with which he tagged
Sharkey in the sixth round was
enough to kill a steer. He had
knocked out many men with
the same punch. Now he was
the heavyweight champion Of
the world, and even if he didn't
have any money to show for it,
Italy and Mussolini were going
to be very pleased.

Born Too Late

Not, however, until he fought
and was knocked out by Joe
Louis was it apparent what a
dreadful thing had been done
to this great hulk of man.
Joe Louis slugged Camera into
bleating submission, cruelty and
brutally.
Here, then, was the complete
sell. He had nothing. His title
was gone, his money Squandered
by the gang.
He was born far, far too late.
He belonged to the Twelfth or
Thirteenth century, when he
would have been a man-at-armS
and a famous fellow with mace
and halberd, pike or bill. At
least he would have fought
nobly and to the limit of his
great strength, properly armed,
because Carnera was a coura.
geous fellow to the limit of his
endurance, game, and a willing
fighter when aroused.
Today there is nothing left
for this man but reflection upon
his humiliation. He was just a
big sucker whom the wise guys
took and trimmed. What an
epitaph for one who came from
the ancient and noble, race of
giants.

the first stiff-punching heavy
weight who was leveling would
knock him out.
Max Baer did it the very next
summer. The following sum-
mer Joe Louis did it again, and
then an almost unknown Negro
heavyweight by the name of
Leroy Haynes accomplished the
feat for the third time.
It is difficult to bag or fix a
heavyweight championship prize
fight, though it has been done.
But in the postwar sports rem
aiSSauce there was so much
money at stake in a heavyweight
championship fight that it took
more cash than most could pro-
duce to purchase either cham
pion or challenger. It stood to
reason that if the champion fig
ured to make a million dollars
or more out Of his title he WASH t
going to sell out for any less.
Too, the power of the gangs was
weakening. Repeal dealt them
a terrible blow and took away
their chief source of revenue.
But Camera was broke and
needed money. He could only
get it by fighting Baer. And the
Baer fight could not be fixed.
Baer's reputation was good. He
was powerful hitter and it was
apparent that now at last the
rest of us were going to be made
privy to what it was that hap
pened when Camera was struck
forcefully on the chin. We dion
have to wait long. He was
knocked down three times in the
first round, and lost his cham
pionship in the eleventh round
on a technical knockout when
he was helpless, having been
knocked down a total of 13 times
during the 10 and half rounds.

the result of beatings taken
around the head. None Of the
carrion birds who had picked
him clean ever came back to
see him or to help him.
No one who was present in
Madison Square Garden the
night that Primo Camera was
first introduced to American
audiences will ever forget him as
he came bounding down the aisle
from the dressing room and
climbed into the ring. 1t was
q masterpiece of stage manage
ment.

Only a Freak

But I think the most dreadful
part of the story is that the poor
floundering giant was duped
along with the spectators. 1t was
not until late in his career that
he ever knocked anyone out on
the level. But he never could
fight, and never will. In spite OF
his great size and strength and
his well-proportioned body, he
remained nothing but a glandur
lar freak who should have re-
fl1airfed with tie small RfefIc1f
travelling circus from which
Leon See took him.
Now, it must be understood
that Leon See was one Of the
most intelligent men that ever
turned a fighter loose from his
corner. He was not much more
scrupulous than the bevy Of
public enemies who eventually
took Camera away from him
simply by muscling him, but he
was much more far-seeing and
he had certain well-thought-out
notions and theories about the
ridiculous game of boxing.
See was a keen student Of the
human body-for a prizefight
manager-and he knew some
thing about men. He was aware
that abnormalities of size were
usually compensated for by
weaknesses elsewhere. He found
exactly how is not known
that Primo Camera would
never be able to absorb a hard
punch to the chin.
But See also had something
else. He was a Frenchman and
so he had a heart. He loved big
Camera.
