PRAISE FOR CARNERA.
DEFEAT BY LARRY GAINS. It will be many a day before I forget that' English crowd as they cheered Gains, said an English writer after tho recent boxing ccpntest in London when Larry Gains scored a points decision over Prime Camera. All the way back to his dressing room wo ran through the crowd, a searchlight lighting up tho conqueror's return —and let this fact bo clea.rly noted, it tells how much he had taken from himself in beating this giant: Gains ran back to his dress'ng room, 200 yds. away. He had strength enough to run and to greet, his friends, and he showed not the slightest sign of fatiguo. And as I came back the lone giant was reliuming alone. " I thought I had won," he whispered in his broken English as bo smiled. A good sportsman is Camera.
