LA GRANDE EVENING New Promoter to Arrange Bout for Sharkey, Camera NEW YORK, March U P A new promoter has entered upon. New York's fistic scene to compete with Madison Square Garden In outdoor extravaganzas and perhaps to stage a heavyweight duel this summer be tween Primo Camera, the - Italian man -mountain, and Jack Sharkey of Boston. A veteran manager of fighters, a powerful Ugure In boxing circles, and something of a "white-haired boy" to the powers-that-be. Jimmy Johns ton is working strenuously to ar range a Camera -Sharkey bout to be held probably in Ebbets Field in June. Camera still Is under suspension 1 here but apparently the New York j state athletic commission is about 1 ready to life the ban, I The tip-off came yesterday from I William Muldoo. 86-year-old member oS the commission, who said: "Right now Sharkey knows too I much for Camera, is too smart, but it would be a good fight. It would be a tremendous drawing card and Camera is capable of giving Sharkey a real battle." Crowd, to Witness Thye-George Tilt PORTLAND. Ore., March 11 (fl Wrestling fans are eagerly looking forward to tonight's bout between Eton George, victor over Gus Son nenberg and recognized in many states as world heavyweight cham pion, and Portland's own "Terrible Teddy" Thye, the wristlock expert. The latter hold is also used by George, but he does not feature it as does Thye. George will have a weight advantage of about 17 pounds, but Thye fig ures on his mat strategy to offset this.

Navy Swim Star Smashes Record In First Season ANNAPOLIS, Md. VP) Raymond Thompson, swimming fctar in his prep school and plebe days, became eligible for the Naval academy tn trcQUeglate team this season- In the first two meets he engaged in, he set a new Intercollegiate dash record, broke two navy records and established himself, in the opinion of many, as the greatest tank star In Navy history. ... A week after the opening meet with Columbia, Thompson continued bis meteoric career by- defeating George Kojac, of Rutgers, marking the latter's first defeat In eastern in tercollegiate competition. Naval academy authorities already are talking of the sensational young ster as a potential Olympic repre sentative in 1932. Thompson topped the large field of eastern college swimmers at the , conclusion ol the Rutgers meet. with a total of 56 points, having scored 10 first places and chalked up six point in relay races. He was undefeated. His nearest rival, Lloyd Martin, a team mate, was 11 points behind him. - The young natator is 19 years old and weighs 182 pounds, which Is 20 more than he weighed when he starred at the Polytechnic Institute at Baltimore. He is six feet one and three-quarter inches tall, in his bare feet. . - In 1929 at Poly he captured the University of Pennsylvania inter scholastic 50-yard championship, probably his greatest school boy achievement. Thompson set new national and Intercollegiate records for the 50 yard, free style, at 23.1 seconds, when he defeated Kojac. In addi tion he set a new record for the Navy for the 100-yard freo style, cutting the time to 53.2 seconds, only four-tenths of a second behind the collegiate mark.
