Why Not Tom sharkey.

Tom Sharkey came TO life long
enough this week 10 hurI a challenge at
Jack Johnson for a night The chal-
lenge brought out a long laugh from
many OF the fight fans. But why not
Sharkey. If COrbett's recent def1es are
to be taken seriously? Surely no one

claim TO recognition than Corbett.
Didn't shar<ey make a better showing
against Jeffries than COrbett? Didn't
Sbarkev fairly defeat Corbett twice, al
though & fixed police force robbed him
Of the decision I'm one case and a fixed
second for Corbett stopped the fight in
the second attempt, when Sharkey had
Corbett all but out? Sharkey might not
be able to make much Of a showing
against johnson, but Of all the old
timers and once famous fighters, Shar-
KEY looks today as the best Of them all
