FORTUNE,MADE IN AMERICA.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
London, December 14.
Exactly a year, ago Camera landed in London practically down and out, with shabby clothes, but an ambitious manager. His first fight in London against Stanley netted £lOO. This; weekend he stepped out from a Pullman car at Victoria dressed in the height of fashion, and with the air of a man about town. Hundreds crowded round him, and he had to face a whole battery of photographers. He admits that he now has a personal fortune of £30,000. He earned £lOO,000, but some nine persons concerned hr his pugilistic career are entitled to a percentage of his earnings, he explained. “I’ll say I am satisfied. Two years ago I was a handyman travelling with a circus. Now-I have everything; the whole thing is a miracle,” said Camera. His chief anxiety now is .to prove to the English public that he is not a slaughterer, but .a boxer.
