GIANT ITALIAN

READY FOR STRIBLING. j MANAGER CONCERNED. BOXER, MAY LOSE TEMPER. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) Rleceived 2.30 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Nov. 17. Camera’s first appearance against a first-class boxer to-morrow is arousing almost as. much interest as a. world championship, and there is certain to be a record attendance'. The Prince or Wales is going. . The fight”might easily be a iurnmg in Camara’s career. Most other fights have been of humorous variety. Camera’s viewpoint is : • ‘After all I am only a novice, and Stribling is one of the three best heavyweights m the world. I want a good, clean fight without any tricks.. I have not hit anybody yet with all my power, and I don’t want to lose my temper.” ' This remark is causing his manager a good deal of concern, as he fears that the Italian may be driven so mad by the exceptional cleverness of Stribling that he will lose control and pick him up in an endeavour .to throw him out of sight. He did that in Paris three months ago. His temper is easily aroused. • . It is an oddity that Camera within a few months has been transformed into a skilful boxer after his appearance in Paris when, a® a joke, he knocked out a man by hitting him on top ‘of the head as if wielding an axe. The measurements are : Camera, 6ft 10in in height and 20 stone in weight; Stribling, sft llfiin . and 13st 101 b. Camera's reach is six inches longer than his opponent’s.
