While a aurprlalngly large crowd of SO.OOO looked on, Sharkey went to work methodically on the big ' Venetian and relentlessly cut him down to suw. Before the Boston sailor's hand was raised In token of victory after It rounds of spec tacular milling, Sharkey bed floored Corners for one nine count, closed one of the Italian's eyes and had given him so savage a beating that Prlmo was on the verge of a knock out on a half dozen occasions. Camera Has Courage. But If the fight reinstated Sharkey to his position as a leading con tender It served also to remove any lingering doubt as to Camera's cour age and stamina. The Huge Italian failed to exhibit his vaunted punch, but he demonstrated all kinds of courage. Subjected to punishment severe enough to have finished al most any other heavyweight, the Italian man mountain still was In there offering what resistance he could when the final bell sounded. Through the first three rounds and part of the fourth Camera amaaed Sharkey and the crowd with his speed and skillful boxing. Using e left hand a la Tommy ijoughran.

Qunboat Smith, the referee, started to' count. At six ' Prlmo, stunned, pulled himself to hie feet with the aid of the ropes, but went down again as his head cleared sufficiently for htm to obey his handlers' signs to take a count of nine. As Prlmo went down on one knee again, Sharkey tore across the ring and shouted! "He went down without being hit. He's disqualified. Count him out."
