Brobdingnagians

A limber Brobdingnagian hulked about Paris last week. Paltry Panams (Parisians) peered at his great height, 6 ft. 8 1/2 in., at his tall bulk, 265 Ib. This, they told each other, was Jose Santa, the Portuguese. Fabulously for a European Latin in the first round of his first Paris fight, he had knocked out his opponent.

His history: roustabout on Lisbon docks, sailor, medaled hero. Once he saved eight persons in a fire at sea, was scarred himself. As a ring fighter he is inexperienced. Bertys Perry, his French-American manager, was obliged to teach him not to slug, how to uppercut. Last week he was preparing to sail for the U. S. He wants a Labor Day bout with that Italian Brobdingnagian, Primo Camera (height 6 ft. 6 1/2 in.; weight 269 1/2 Ib.).

Carnera fought in Detroit last week, where he has not been suspended. Opponent was K. O. Christner, tough Akron rubber maker, who fought well against Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney. Carnera knocked Christner out in the fourth round. On June 23 in Philadelphia Carnera meets George Godfrey, 222-lb. Negro, whom white heavyweight challengers have consistently avoided.
