GIANT BOXER
APPEARANCE IN ENGLAND
OPPOSED
LONDON, 13th December.
Mr. James Douglas, editor of the "Sunday Express," writes aa follows to bis paper: "As a citizen I call on llio Home Secretary to forbid Camera to fight at the Albert Hall. A primitive giant like Camera, who is incapable of self-control, should not be permitted to bos for gate money. You might as -well soil tickets for a fight between a man-eating tiger and a cow. He might kill his opponent, the referee or one of his seconds." '
Lord Lonadale, interviewed by the same paper, speaking for the Boxlne Board of Control, says of Camera"We should not put him ia the ring. He does not conform with our ideas of how a fighting man should behave."
