CARNERA BEATEN
Outclassed By Negro Heavyweight TECHNICAL KNOCK-OUT By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received May 28, 10.55 p.m.) New York, May 27. Leroy Haines, negro heavyweight boxer, defeated Primo Camera tonight on a technical knock-out after tlie ninth round had proceeded 40 seconds. The Italian, who weighed Tvst. 131 b.. was no match for the American who weighed l ist. 41b., and who. from the opening of the first round, when he had his opponent wobbling on the ropes, until the end of the match, punished him pretty severely. Not that Camera did not fight back. He had a distinct advantage in the second and third rounds, when he hammered the negro about the head. From then on. however, the former champion weakened badly and. pawing his way aimlessly about the ring, absorbed large amounts of punishment. He was barely able to make his corner unns sisted after the eighth round, and. iu the ninth, during a melee, he apparently injured his left leg. He began to reel and the referee stopped the bout.
