HEAVY-WEIGHT BOXING
HAINES BEATS CAftNERA Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW~YORK, May 27. Leroy Haines, the negro heavyweight boxer, defeated Camera tonight on a technical knock-out after the ninth round had proceeded 40see. The Italian, who weighed 18st 131 b, was no match for the American, who weighed 14st 41b. From the opening of the ’ first round Haines had his opponent wobbling on the ropes, and until the end of the match punished him severely. Not that Camera did not fight back. He had a distinct advnntage in the second and third rounds, when he hammered the negro about the head. From then on, however, th« former champion weakened badly, and, pawing his way aimlessly about th# ring, absorbed a big amount of punishment. He was barely able to reach his corner unassisted after the eighth round, and in the ninth, during , a melee, he apparently injured his left leg. He began to reel, and the re fere# stopped the bout.
