Death Of Good Heavyweight

LACKS ELASTICITY TO SCORE ON MOVING TARGET

Primo Carnera is likely to re- main world's heavyweight boxing| champion for years unless a really first-class heavy-weight arises writes a Home Correspondent. He was outboxed by Laughran in the early rounds—until Loughran, like Stribling and others of talent far superior to the Italian, was over- come by the sheer fatigue of bold- ing off an opponent of nearly 20st.

Gains, who was beaten recently by Len Harvey, a man of 12st, out- boxed Carnera for fifteen rounds at the White City, and the Italian has also been outpointed by Jim Maloney. Jack Sharkey and Stan- ley Poreda.

will cause him to collapse, as was the ease of his giant forerunner, Jess Willard. And at the pre- Hent time there is a chronic short- age of heavy-weights of champion- shin class all over the world.

American boxing opinion is that Carnera's domination of the heavy-weight class is killing in- trests in a sport which has been Batiling hard during the last five yours to retain its popularity. He was unpopular with the crowd in bie fight against Loughran-pol because of unsporting tactics, but because his immense stature given him such a tremendous advantage in nearly all his fights.

That he failed to knock Aut Loughran

Is not surprising. Garnern has never possessed the elasticity to plant an accurate, de- cisive blow on a moving target,

NO U.S. OPEN LAWN TENNIS TOURNEY

PROFESSIONAL RIVALRY

TOO GREAT

NO ADVANTAGE GAINED

(By ALAN GOULD)

New York, March 29. There are several reasons why no national open championskip

tennis tournament will be conducted in the United States this year, but one of them seems quite sufficient for the ilme being.

It is the fact that there is not enough rivalry at the present time between amateurs and professionals. from a competitive stand point, to make an open tournament worth conducting.
