Local Sports to See
 Buff-Sharkev Co

~ Johnny Buff is going to defend his bantam title tomorrow night in the Garden against Jack Sharkey and several parties of Bridgeport fight fans are going to travel to the metropolis in the expectations Of see ing a rattling good fight. Buff will naturally be the Tavorite, but sur prise may be uncorked.
 Sharkey has shown himself capa- bIe of great performances. but fa- nous sportsman may have said a n1outhfu1 when he remarked: ''Shar- key and Shawkey. they're both through"
 Sharkey has been taking care of himself lately and it would surprise no one to see him give Buff a thrilling scramble for the coveted bantam weight crown. There is small chance that Buff will knock him out, as Joe Lynch did. when Jack made his great drive for the title, but there is a possibility. and very real proba- biIity, that the two-fsted ancient from Jersey City will handle the chai- lenger in so clever a manner that the decision of the judges will be easy.
