No CarneraS.

If ou ask me where the men are to be found, I should make it clear in the first place that I cannot hope to unearth a second Primo Carnera Even the vast and miscellaneous o population of America has not yet furnished a man to stop the Italian conqueror. Carnera, it must be admitted. is one of the boxing giants of all time.

That a comparatively small conn- try like Italy, where boxing has never been a national pastime, aa with America and Great Britain, should have produced this pheno- RW. menal man can only be dismissed O as one of the physical wonders of

the world.

Recreio Team.

Fame in a Night.

What sort of men, therefore, can we hope to find who might avert defcat in the ring with Carnern? It would be an achievement to fight a draw with him. Suppose Reggie Meen, the Leicestershire shoe opera- tire, had accomplished this at the Albert Hall, the fillip to his fame would have been incalculable.

His name would have been passed from lip to lip over the entire American continent. Meen says he still believes he could knock Carnera down. I wish I could believe that too, but I am afraid that before such a thing happens Reggie Meen must go through a very thorough course of training.

Youth Required.

In the making of a great boxer it is necessary that he should be

I was reminded of the great Donald Dinnie, who may be regard- ed ns the perfect type of the young Highland man the professor had in mind. writes Clyde Foster in The Evening Standard.

I

fancy that even Primo Carnera would have found in the counterpart of Donald Dinnie a man as strong as himself and of even harder frame, although lack- ing Carnera's great height.

Irish Physique,

A leading London physiologist assures me that the quest of the British heavyweight "hope" could also be turned with advantage to some of the scantily-populated parts of Ireland. Here, he says, are to be found the finest. physical speci- mans of young manhood in the world whose diet, he incidentally mentions, is of the plainest descrip- tion, such as coarse brend, potatoes, herring and an occasional rasher of bacon,

Greatest Heavyweight. Frank Moran, the Pittsburg den- tist, who fought several times in London recently, was so Irish that he seemed almost to have inherited the accent of his race, though he had never lived among them.

And perhaps greater than these Irish heavyweights, perhaps the greatest the world ever knew, Robert Fitzsimmons, was a Cornish man born and bred. The classic fight of modern times is that be tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons at Carson City, when the indomitable Cornishman wrested the champion- ship of the world from the greatest boxer that ever wore the gloves,

Dream Fight.

What, you ask, would Fitzsim- mons have done in the ring against Carnera? The question is 帮助一 answerable, but I would hazard the supposition that he would have given Carnera more trouble than any man the Italian has ever met Fitzsimmons held the two-fold title of middleweight and heavyweight.

Supreme Courage. I shall always think of Fitzsim- mons as a man of supreme courage and as the British boxer of the past whose spirit it would be well for present-day boxers to emulate. Fitzsimmons was a real Aghter. Carnera would have struck no ter- ror into this lon-hearted man. Not long before his death Fitz sent swimming in the sea me a Christmas card showing him near Los Angeles with his pet two-year-old Hon.
