OBJECTIONS TO CARNERA. (Received December 15th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 13. Mr James Douglas, editor of the "Sunday Express," writes as follows to his paper:— "As a citizen. I call on the Home Secretary to forbid Camera to fight at Albert Hall. A primitive giant like Camera, who is incapable of self-control, should not be permitted to box for gate money. You might as well sell tickets for a fight between a man-eating tiger and a, cow. Ho might kill his opponent, the referee, or one of his seconds." Lord Lonsdale, interviewed by the Sunday Express," speaking for tho Boxing Board of Control, says: "We should not put him in the ring: he does not conform with our ideas of bow a fighting man should behave."
