CARNERA CARRIED OUT
FOULED BY GODFREY IN NEW YORK FIGHT WAS BLOW DELIBERATE? NEW YORK, Monday.! At Philadelphia today 40,000 spectators, including Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling and other boxing celebrities, saw Primo Camera (18st 101 b) defeat Godfrey (17st 121 b) on a foul in the fifth round. Before the contest Godfrey was greatly favoured in the betting. He opened by doing most of the fighting, then gradually slowed up and showed poor condition. The negro fouled the Italian giant twice in the early round, but each time Camera laughed and shook hands with his opponent. Godfrey took the first two rounds, the third was even, and in the fourth and fifth Camera began to show superiority until he was fouled by a blow in the lower part of the body and dropped to the floor in great agony. A doctor entered the l-ing and the Italian was carried out. Sporting writers say,.they consider Godfrey’s foul apparently was deliberate. rn a bout at Boston Campolo (16st lib) knocked out Ruggierello (15st), in the third round.
George Godfrey has been regarded in tbe past two years as “the black menace” to the heavy-weight title, taking the place of Harry Mills, who for a long time chased Jack Dempsey.
