Primo Carnero may be a popular heavyweight champion of the world, simply because his aire and strength appeal to tho multitude BEDIEIFjr t i aicuis t KXI'KCTIXO TOO MUCH My Ilrooko I '(-ten Church I think that we tend to require too much adult responsibility from our children, It may be that we think it good for them to learn early how to take care of themselves, or, as Is often the case, that mothers and teachers take that means of ridding themselves of some of their burden. Childhood, cvon among the ani mals, has a certain period of free and P?taneous action before It assumes the duties of life. Whereas we tend to prolong the latter end of Infancy too far, it. seems to mo that we demand too much of the earlier years, To ask a small boy to fill the wood box as his dally chore Is one thing, but to put him on his honor to flu It as full as possible and to make him feel that ho has betrayed a trust when he de liberately leaves gaps In the under layers, seems to me unfair. Physical responsibility can hurt no child unless the task is top great for his strength, but moral responsi bility mny tend to make him over- serious or even morbidly conscienti ous. The small boy who used to play hookey in the spring to go to the swimming hole was a far more nor mal human being than the sedate little creature of today who knows of the dangers of cramps and colds and the evils of not being promoted on account of absence from school. Fortunately, human nature being what it Is, there Is still left a host ; of happy, care-free little mortals who keep the truant officers busy, but we are doing our best to eliminate them. Much of the careless laughter will be gone from life with the disap pearance of the happy-go-lucky free dom of youth, and this laughter nothing can replace, of those attracted by the sub-normal tho abnormal or merely the unusual. ''Da Preem" was once a strong boy in n circus traveling In France. No doubt the same folk who found Inter est In the trained fleas and the lady sword - swallower paid their francs to stand In awe before the heavily muscled, thickly sinewed Italian youth, who was shortly persuaded to try wrestling for a livelihood and then built up for the more lucrative opportunities of professional pugil ism. No champion ever covered a stranger route to the top. When Camera first camo to the United States threo years ago ho was quite frankly exploited as a freak. His baokors reali&od ho had color and what Is known as "circus appeal," but It was essential to cVevelop the Idea he had a punch commensurate with his hugo bulk. For all outward effects and pur poses, this was simple enough. There was no trouble gotting "pushovers." Some were brought out of retirement Just to bo bowled over agnln by tho flailing arms of tho new man moun tain. Tho experts laughed openly. They described the type of "bathing suits" worn by those selected to "go In tho tank." The crowds packed tho arenas, on Broadway as well as Main street. Canto The inevitable It was all In good fun. One and all went away laughing heartily as the Italian was led on one of tho most extraordinary tours In fistic history. A few difficulties cropped up and in Boston the bnt tie -worn Jimmy Maloney took off tho "wraps'" and gave the big fellow a punching. Again In Florida Camera failed to dislodge Maloney from his feet In. 10 rounds, although Primo went through this affair with a broken rib. That was two years ogo and the unanimous verdict was that Camera could not punch and never would be ablo to punch, but he still was the blKgest heavyweight In tho contend ing class and tho "bulld-up" was not slackened. Persistently ho loomed In the background while Jack Sharkey and Max Schmollug waged their private war for tho world championship, each the hotter for a year and each outwardly disdainful of the giant from Italy. It was Inevitable that 0110 or the other must take on the man moun tain and perhaps it was Inevitable, too, that one or the other would tum blo down from the attempt to sur mount such size and power. Ol ven two years for development, for experience and tho acquisition of something more nearly resembling a punch than the clumsy clout of a brown boar, Carnern's defeat of Shar key mny seem entirely plausible and convincing. Who Is thero to match such phys ical handicaps with a devastating enough punch to bowl over "Ua Proem." except possibly tho nigged Max Baer? Isn't tho very freakish build and strength of the man suf ficient to keep him dominant? Much to Live Down Obviously, you won't find the an swer here or anywhere else for some time to come. The Camera board of directors wilt run no unnecessary risks in such times as these. They came in on the Inst big-money wave, when the folks were easily fooled and liked it, and It has been tough weathering the financial ebb tide of pugilism. None of the logical sequence of Camera events, however, can dis lodge from memory tho picture of a vast specimen floundering against third -raters, bewildered obvWusly by anything approaching flrst-iTi ring ability, winning most of his eights" ttith phantom swishes of those huge 1T.1V.U. Bo'QKiiwilmmon made tho classic remark that "the bigger they come the harder they fall" and It doesn't take much Imagination to figure what a slashing fighter like Jack 1 Denipsey or a master boxer like Oenc Tunney would accomplish against the sort of ft target Camera offers, GAINS NOTED IN STOCK EXCHANGE NEW YORK, Aug. 21 VP) Stock prices moved Into" higher territory to day, with most categories displaying a strong undertone throughout trad rf..ii. nin. nt i mom than a points were scattered over a wide front .although the alcohol, were the favorite Thn nlnHA WflA firm.
