NEW YORK, 'Oct. 13 (AP) The
bigger they come the better Jack
Sharkey likes It and Prlmo Camera,
for one wont Tenture to deny It.
In the same ring at Kb bete field
where he found 170-pound Mickey
Walker too tough a foe to take a
few weeke ago, Sharkey bleated ble
way to a decisive victory on polnte
over the 360-pound Camera last
night and bounced hlmaelf right
. back to the forefront of challenge!
for Max Schmellng'B heavyweight
crown.
. 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.
Camera stabbed Sharkey off balance
and had the American floundering
about wondering what It was all
about.
But the whole complexion of the
fight changed In a flash In the wild
fourth round, when Sharkey, after
taking a cuffing In the clinches,
suddenly lashed out with a left hook
that dumped the huge Camera on
the canvas with a dull thud,
Count Resumed.
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."

ring, but his manager, Johnny Buck

Referee Right.
Under the rules, Smith was with

New York state athletic commission
regulations provide that If a fighter
goes down, gets up and goes down
again without being hit, the referee,
within his discretion, either may
disqualify the offender or resume
the count.
By the time Sharkey was ready
to resume Camera was on his feet,
leaning against the ropes. The battle
was on agala but Camera never
was the same. -
Camera won only one round, the
third, and held Sharkey even In an
other, the 13tb. The others all went
to the Boston sailor. Camera weighed

conference game next Saturday when
It journeys to Grants Pass. The
team resumed practice last night.
after the Eureka contest, and a week
of hard drilling will be the order
of Coach Burgher. Last year Grants

The locals have recovered from
light attack of over-confidence
and have perfected their forward
pass ' attack, as shown by the ' score
In the Eureka game.
Grants Pass this season has a
green, but fighting team. Klamath
Falls beat them, 10 to 13, and the
Pelicans had their hands full In the
second half, when they were held
scoreless. The Josephine county
squad also played a 6 to 6 tie with
Bandon, considered the chief Coos
county opponent of Marshfleld.
In Klamath October 24.

of the season. Klamath Falls, In
mora than 20 years of competition,
has tied the locals but once, and
this season they are preparing to
lay claim to state champlonshln
honors. They have a heavy, expe
rienced team, and defeated Ashland
last Friday, 22 to 12, In the dedica
tion game on their new field.
Klamath Falls confidently expects
to defeat Medford this season, and
hope to win their first southern
Oregon conference championship.
Medford Is all that atands between
them and that goal.
Coach Avrlt has Instilled new life
Into the Pelicans, and he has plenty
of reserves.

after the locals' scalp, and have been
drilling aU season for Saturday's
game.
