SHARKEY LIKES
JACK DEMPSEY
Veteran Gladiator Figures
Willard a Goner.

Tom Sharkey picks Jack Dempsey to
knock Jess Willard out in about four
rounds when they meet.
Ordinarily the opinion of a fighter OF
a decade ago concerning present day
ring stars isn't worth a continental,
but Sharkey's words are worth listening
to because he starred against bigger
men than himself and knows the small
er mans advantages ana the big mans
handiCaps.
Old timers will recall that when Shar-
key was at his best he weighed less
than Dempsey does. rom tackled the
giant Jim Jeffries twice and in a total
of 45 rounds Of man-killing fighting
wasn't floored. Jeffries compared with
Sharkey about as Willard does with
the challenger. SharKey says:
This boy Dempsey looks like a real
fighter to me. He'll beat Willard sure,
and | look for him to turn the trick
in about four rounds. Willard never
was a great fighter, in my opinion
Show me n good man that ne ever
beat and | may change my opinion
HE beat Johnson when the black
fellow was all in, and at that 1t TOOK
him rs rounds to do 1t. outside Of
Johnson he beat no one who was even
a good second rater. He has been out
of the ring for three years and he
won't be half as good as he was when
he won the title. He may look all
right from the outside, but you can't
tell me he'll be there when the pinch
comes.
Don't let any one tell you that Will
lard can't be hurt. They never made
one yet that would not go when the
right punch lands. And this fellow
Dempsey can hit. He's got two good
hands and he doesn't waste any time
with his punches. | don't think | ever
saw any n who could sock much
harder thar Dempsey. That boy will
win and he'll make a great champion.
l wish him all the luck in the world. "
The most interesting feature Of
S~harkey's remarks Is the fact that he
admits Jack Is a bearcat fighter. Tom
has been a leader In the ranks OF the
old-time fighters who have insisted the
present-day fighters do not stack up
we'll with the mes Of a decade or more
ago.
Sharkey was able to hit Jeffries at
will despite Jim's great size. Tom be-
lieves Jack can get to Willard the same
way,
The very fact that Dempsey is up
against the same proposition Sharkey
faced probably has increased Toms ad-
miration for Jack. Besides this, Demp-
sey has shown that he is of the old
type OF tearing in aggressive fighter
that flourished when Tom was in the
game. This probably appeals to Shar-
key, too.

a sensational catch in Sundays game
against the Choctaws when he ran

TOM JONES PICKS
WILLARD TO WIN
Former Manager of Champion

Jones still retains his admiration for
Wizards ring prowess, despite his split
with the champion after plotting him

Havana. Jones said that, in his opin-
ion, the only chance Dempsey has to
win is to land a knockout.

Jones said that Willard is 40 years

the ring sharps, He declared that VIII
lard did not begin boxing until he was
81 years Of age and because of his late
athletic development, had not lost any
OF his fighting stamina.
He also sale that Willard had trained
