NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-In the sur
prise and rather general gratifica
ton which attended the finish OF
Harry Wills career as a champion
ship contender, the performance OF
the young Lithuanian lad who
whipped the big Negro was some
what overlooked.
Jack Sharkey. who was christened
Joseph Carl Kucoskey at his birth
place near Memel some twenty-three
years ago, was hailed the day fol
lowing the fight, however, as the
heavyweight best fitted to fight Gene
Tunney for the title next March.
The young Bostonian, who served
four years in the Navy, is queer
mixture of steel and boyishness.
When the referee stopped his fight
with Wills because of the Negroes
foul tactics, Sharkey burst into
tears.
Il feel like a baby he said after
wards. II was getting set for a
from me and 1 just broke down and
cried for a minute"
Against the towering Negro, who
outweighed him by some thirty-hve
pounds. and who could handle him
like an infant in the clinches, \Shar-
key showed the other side OF his
character His eyes of steeel blue
fairly stared the leering Wills out of
countenance.
"Once 1 had a good squint at
Harry, 1 knew the fight was over, ="
explained Jack. He couldn't meet
my eyes"
Another picture Of this new threat
to Gene Tunney's supremacy comes
to mind. Sharkey and his manager,
Johnny Buckley, were down from
Boston to present the fighters claims
to a match with Tunney some time
before the latter fought Jack Demp-
sey. 1t was in the offices Of the box
ing commission.
Sharkey presented a contract call
ing for him to box Tunney. Are
you pretty good?" asked Commission
err Muldon, rather sarcastically.
"Who?. Me? No, I'm not much"
replied Sharkey. "Who did l ever
lick that, amounted to anything"
It was unprecedented conversation
from a prize fighter.
The conqueror of Harry Wills has
licked some good men, however. Be
sides the Negro, he beat Jack Rem
ault, George Cook, Jim Maloney
King Solomon, Johnny Risko, Eddie
Huffman and Big Black George God

Unusually High Glass Games
for Early SeaSon-Fea-
ture at Yale.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press staff CorresDondent


NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The foot
ball card for the third Saturday in
October provides the best list Of
games ever scheduled this early in
the season.
Mid-October used to find the first
class elevens still meeting third
class competition. But football has
spread SO tremendously within re-
cent years that the number of "set-
ups" has dwindled, and the great
gridiron teams no longer can afford
to train for stiff November engage
ments on mediocre opposition.
Four games will be played Satur-
day which may be found later to
have settled the mythical eastern
football championship. Dartmouth
meets Yale; Syracuse plays the
Army; Georgetown meets West Vir-
GINA and the Navy encounters
Princeton.
Many fans already believe that the
Yale and Dartmouth Elevens are
the class Of the East. The Big
Green team, undefeated for two sea-
sons, viii come down to New Haven
with a much changed lineup from
that with which Coach Jess Hawley
developed the uncrowned champion
ship aggregation Of 1925.
Yale will meet Dartmouth with
Hawley plays. In its last game the
Ell uncorked a passing and off
tackle game resembling closely that
taught by the Hanover coach. What
the eleven will do in the face
of its own style Of attack is unknown
but the betting slightly favors Dart
mouth.
Syracuse has rolled up great
scores on its early opponents. but
the first real test Of the upstate New
York eleven comes in the battle with
the always dangerous Cadets.
West Virginia, which has cleaned
up thus far, will run into sturdy
competition from Georgetown, which,
despite It's tie with Pitt, looked like
one of the outstanding elevens Of the
year.
Princeton will meet revitaliZed
Navy team and win have to improve
over last Saturdays play to prevent
another Big Three team from going
down to defeat.

FAVORABLE BALANCE
OF u. S. TRADE DROPS
But Four Months Remain for
America to Equal Last Years
Figures.

But four months are left for the
United States to make up the wide
difference between its favorable trade
balances for this and the last fiscal
year.
Figures made public yesterday by
the Commerce Department for the
eight months ended with February
show the excess Of exports over i'm
ports amounted to &32S.123.512. As
against s7s.456. .423 for the same period
last year.
Explaining these figures, together
with the excess Of approximately S55.
600 900 in January and February OF
imports over exports, Secretary Hoo
yer said several factors must be con
sidered, such as higher prices paid for
imported rubber and q decline, in eX
ports of crude materials and crude
foodstuffs. which alone fell off about
$50. 900 900 in February as compared
with the same month last year.
The Secretary would not predict
whether figures for March and the re
mainder of the fiscal year would show
gains sufficient to bring the trade bal
ance in this country's favor UP to last
years figure. He reiterated. however
that the favorable balance in mer'
chandise would have to total $500. .00o..
600 or $500. 100000 IL the invisible bal
ance representing tourists expendi'

other forms Of American investme nts

had not decided upon any relief meas
ure and came to listen to the Secre-
tary's views. rather than to present
their own. .s
After the conference, at which Sec
retary Jardine discussed farm relief
legislation at some length. Mr.. Mosher
said in reply to a question. that I'VE
feel that he has given us some good
advice, although there were some diff
ferences in matters of detail"
The committee later went into eXecu-
tive session to formulate a policy
which II is expected 10 announce
shortly.
The committee changed the usual
place of meeting from Memphis I"

pie Of an equalization fee.

COTTON TRADING
Of WEEK NERVOUS
Apprehension Over Coming
Crop Is Reflected in
Price Advances.
Ry the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 2.--Increa sing
nervousness over the start Of the
coming crop has been reflected by ad-
vances In the cotton market here dur
ing the past week.
Further rains and unsea sonably low
temperatures over the South have
been coupled with complaints of de-
layed farm work, and while the bulk
of the demand has been attributed to
people who have sold during February
or early in March. some little broad
ening of both trade and investment
demand has been reported.
The buying tapered off as prices
reached the 1S.cent level for October
contracts. or after an advance of
about so to 30 points from the low
levels touched at the beginning OF
March. Moderate reactions followeA
under profit.taking. which was prob
ably promoted by the approach of the
Easter holidays and reports that the
higher prices were bringing out rather
freer offering of spot cotton III some
of the Southern markets.
A continuance of unsettled weather
proved a check on selling otherwise,
however. and the market showed a
end of the week
The opinion most generally ex-
pressed by local traders Is that de
lays to farm work during March may
not prove of much consequence in
the long run should weather condi-
tions during April be favorable. A
late start for the crop would be con-
sidered very unfortunate as increasing
the risks of boil weevil damage dur
ing the Summer. but the feeling ap-
pears 10 be that there is still plenty
of time to plant and some operators
think that with a week or two Of really
good Spring weather. nervousness
over any delays so far reported would
soon disappear.
This idea of the situa tion may have
been partly responsible for checking
the advance during the earlier part
of the week, but prospects for re-
newed rains over the Easter holidays
had sustaining effect on Yesterdays
market.
Only one of the private reports on
acreage prospects has been issued SO
far. II pointed to prospective re
duction of about % per cent in acre
age, but an increase of per cent in
the use of fertilizer. These figures
were without apparent effect on the
market. which would suggest that the
trade is either waiting for later and
more conclusive reports or that the
percentages indicated were about in
line with expectations.
