Sharkey's rushes with straight left-hand-
ers on the face.
Miller has whipped Johnson of Sacra-
mento in five rounds. and the latter easily
disposed OF Billy Smith in four rounds. 1t
viii be remembered that Smith gave
Sharkey a good race for the long end of
the purse few months ago at Colma.
AS general thing amateur boxers be-
come ratified, so to speak, hen they en-
gage in their first professional bout, but
Miller's friends declare that the big fellow
is al all times as cool as cucumber and
will make very scientific fight against
the champion of the navy. 1t can be
safely said, however, that in case Miller
becomes excited and losas his equilibrium
he will certainly go down and out in short
order. Game qualities in pugilist are a
very necessary qualification, too, and if
Miller can stand the wild and desperate
swings which Sharkey will aim at his
head, his chances of defeating his OPP
ponent are very good.
Sharkey is too well known to need any
comment. He is most powerful fellow
and hits as hard as a kicking mule. He
measures As inches around the chest and
20 inches around the neck and will fight at
10 pounds. This is the first contest be-
tween big men OF note that the Colma
Athletic Club has arranged and it should
certainly prove a most exciting mill.
Jack Dempsey the once famous middle
weight pugiist of the world. died at his
home in Portland, Or, OH Friday morn
ing. The name of Jack Dempsey is ia
miliar to every man who took an interest
in fisticuffs. His friends he could count
by the thousands, and there are few if any
people living who have been given any
reason to speak an unkind word of the
most popular pugilist who ever entered
the ring.
Ever since the time Dempsey was de-
feated by La Blanche by one of the foulest
blows a man can give another when con-
testing for supremacy, and at time when
he Dempsey had the MARINE" under
his thumb so to speak, the ex-champion
middle-weight lost courage and hope. In
fact Dempsey grew reckless and seemed
to care little for his future. He continu-
ously spoke of that cowardly blow which
originated in the mind of Jimmy Carroll
as a last resort to win coin less the honor
OF victory.
His defeat by La Blanche broke his
grand string of tiftv hard-earned victories,
and In confidential way he afterward in
formed friend that it would be the means
OF fastening death, the result of broken
heart.
Dempsey tried every means of getting a
return match. but La Blanche had had
enough of Jack and would not consent to
another meeting. This fact drove Demp-
sey wild, and to again place himself be-
fore the sporting people as the great Non
pareil he challenged the elongated Bob
Fitzsimmons. Every reader OF tisticuffs
is conversant with the fight and Its result.
Poor Dempsey was broken hearted, and
the once great and popular pugilist faded
away physically until death came and
called from the ranks of famous fighters
the greatest hero of them all.
