BOXING CARNERA AND LOUGHRAN. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) MIAMI, February 22. (Received Feb. 23, at 9 p.m.) Both Camera and Lqpghran went through heavy training drills to-day preparatory to the championship bout on February 28. Unofficial betting odds etill favour the champion, but critics are inclined to be more impressed with Loughran’s condition. His weight now is about 12st 121 b, compared with the Italian’s 18st 111 b, but he is training harder. Loughran engaged three sparring partners to-day, and boxed skilfully, while Camera appeared to find it difficult to land punches against his aparrers. However, it is predicted that he will knock out Loughran within three rounds. CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES v. WESTERN AUSTRALIA. (United Press At-delation.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
