BOXING

CARNERA AND LOUGHRAN. MIAMI, Tuesday. With all their training completed, Camera and Loughran rested to-day. Their trainers declared that both arc in excellent physical condition. They are expected to tip the scales at about 258 and 181 pounds respectively. The weighing-in ceremonies take place to-morrow afternoon, a few hours before the 15-round bout is scheduled to start. Much bickering over officials and rules has been settled with a local referee and judges selected and a complicated system of point scoring instead of the customary rounds won or lost, the compilation to decide the winner, as under the New York rules a decision by a foul is not allowed. Brokers reported practically no betting, with the prevailing odds favouring the Italian. Inclement weather has further retarded the ticket ,-salc, and it is»now doubtful if the gross receipts will be more than £IO,OOO. TIGHT POSTPONED. (Received Thursday, 8.50 a.m.) MIAMI, Wednesday. Rain caused the postponement of the Camera -Loughran fight until to-mor-row night. GUARANTEE FOR PALMER. (Received Thursday, 11.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The guarantee of £9OO for three fights, which induced Palmer to disembark at Fremantle, was from Jack Mur.ro, former manager of the Sydney Stadium, on his own initiative. Munro plans to bring Lon Harvey from England to fight Palmer.
