He's scarcely bigger than a pint Of

uaprika as kipling's Fussy wuxsy. His
rich, name is Giuseppi De Meln. blu he
. known to the fstic> fans as Young
Zuln KID And tomorrow ne embarks

over Ia dear oil Lunnon. where In the
National sporting Club on December IL

And 20 We trekked up to the Pioneer
snoring III on West Forty-second
Stree, last night to see him box Jack
sharkey and To try to get a line OH what
hs chances will be against the wonder
ful Wilde
We pl,nkcd oursclf right down In the
middle OF the biggest crowd the Pioneer
: & mas held In many moons. A large
percentage Of the assemblies &c was COM
posed of Italians who were on hand to
shower young lie Melfi with "vivas" In
his Patti appearance. But there were
lots Of others present. including Eddie
Foy. m~lionaires. bootblacks and women.
You know boxing has become quite de
r,rcur among a certain set which basks
under B~roadway's midnight uns Aphro-
dlte looked down from the balcony on
Mare IN the ring.
Better stay Home. Zuls.
We saw Zulu Kid force. the lighting
all the way and win from Sharkey OH
work. Zulu tended to his knitting from
fagfall 20 finish, Sharkey fought in
Ills and spells. II Jack hadn't lone so
..,.k lo.p,8 Ia hotu,aa, hta alttae he
might have gained a draw.
But after seeing the Zulu Kid In
action against Sharkey our advice to
him would be 10 stay at home.
All that Zulu has to commend himself
% speed and stamina. He II a human
dynamo and can keep his little lists
whizzins through the air like bullets
from first to the final clang Of the
gong
but II reports OF the ability Of the
sensational Wilde are true Zulu Kid
will need more than that to keep his
.Scu'cheon u~ntarnished. He will need
wonderful skill and c~leverness. Of which
he showed no hint last evening. He
will need 10 pack a punch. and ne n
noticed any dynamite or n~itroglycerine
behind his blows last evening.
Zulu Kid sized up as a mighty fast
and tough little second rater. And so
lis chances against a boxer whom Eng
lish experts credit as being the great
,s' little fighter England ev0r has
turned out-a greater man at his weight
han either Charlie Mitchell or .Jein
prlscon-do not appear any too roseate.
Zulu weighed In AT an even lI2
pounds, the same Iounda9e he will have
to make for Wilde. He conceded five
and a half pounds to Sharkcy. who
ip0ed the beam AZ ll1', pounds. Both
how weighed IN ringside In September
Morn attire.
The first round a Zulu's on work..
Sharkey no; showing anything till the
last ten seconds VI lighting. when he cut
loose In a whirlwind rally. The second.
'hird. fourth. nth and sixth rounds saw
Iulu steadily boring in and blazing
dway with rapid fire lefts and rights at
close quarters. Al long range Sharkey
had the b~t OF the milling, but Zulu
was careful 10 keep in close.
Shtrkey ever n anon went to the
viii and opened up in cyclonic rallies.
holding his W in the savage exchanges
M Jack took too much rest in between.
Zulu never let up in his bombarding.
Shnrkcy ONE strong 1T End.
IN the seventh round Sharkey pulled
a Leach Cross stall and several times
"Hh' J. look as IT he was grogRy and on
ne verge Of a Knockout. He came
nah in the ninth and tenth with some
iul,d"g battling and in the toe to toe
'N.hanges frequently made Zulu. the
shier man, give ground. Sharkey had
the better Of the last two rounds but
MS telatcd rally was too late to turn
The tide.
Al the end Of the mill we asked Char
Icy Harvey. the boxing impresario who
has seen Wilde box several times in
England, what he thought OF Zulu Kids
chances.
Well said Charley. 'Zulu's a tough
Little bird. but Wilde should jab him into
inince meat. Wilde IL one OF the greatest
