WlLLS-SHARKEY GO Is
WORTH SOME ATTENTION
Winner Tuesday Must Be Given Strong Consideration for
Chance With Gene Tunney.

two outstanding men-aside from
the deposed champion. Jack Demp-
sey-who would have a real chance
against Tunney.
These men are Harry Wills of
Harlem and Jack Sharkey of Boston,
and they will have 20 fight 1t out
next Tuesday at Ebbets field, in
Brooklyn, under the direction OF
Humbert J. Fugazy.
If the big Negro can dispose of
the clever Boston heavy, he will find
many to support his claim to Il title
bout with the new champion. If
Sharkey beats Wills, then the loud
outcries of the Negro contender will
fall upon deaf ears.
Sharkey is known here as a boxer,
perhaps the best among the big fel.
lows, who will fight only when
stung. Wills is expected to sting
him into action.
The Boston heavyweight signed a
contract some months ago for fight
with Tunney, but has agreed to
waive that and take on Wills first.
If Sharkey beats Wills there will be
no need TO look further to find the
logical contender" for the heavy
weight title.

Billy
Says
CORBETT PICKED WINNER

~ I'M CORBETT finally broke
his long losing streak by
L. picking the winner Of the
Dempsey-Tunney fight. He was
strong for the challenger.
Tunney's victory over Dempsey,
by the way, probably was the great
est ring upset since Corbett himself
won from the mighty John l.. Sui
Ivan.
Corbett, since quitting the ring,
has turned to the stage and writing
for livelihood and has been mighty
successful at both, except for pick
ing the winners of championship
contests.
In a sense Corbett's selections have
become sort of a joke, since Jim in
variably has been on the loser up
to now.
Probably only one sport devotee
in the United States took Corbett' s
dope seriously, that Tunney would
defeat Dempsey. That individual
was Arthur J. Donnelly, wealthy st.
Louis sportsman.

JIM WIRES FRIEND

ri ASEBALL and the runners
kI are Donnelly's two favorite
- pastimes. While he likes
the fight game, his knowledge of the
sport Is limited. On baseball and
racing he is something of an au-
thority.
Some years ago Donnelly met Jim
Corbett. The former heavyweight
champion was doing a vaudeville
stunt in st. Louis, Donnelly's home
town.
Royalty entertained by Donnelly,
close friendship sprang up between
the two. 1t has been further
cemented by the victory of Gene
Tunney.
About a week before the fight Don
nelly received a wire from Corbett
telling him that Tunney was in great
shape and that while he might not
be able to knock out Dempsey, he
certainly would take down the de-
cision.
Donnelly showed the wire TO
several of the sports editors of St.
Louis. also some Of his more in
innate friends and the answer from
all Of them was the same:

RooterS Face Chill Breezes
to See Sixth Fray of
Classic.
BY Paul w. White.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
YANKEE STADIUM New York.
Oct. 9.-It was a great day for
hockey but the thousands stand
ing before the gates of the Yankee
stadium where today the sixth game
of the world series was to be played,
didn't seem to mind.
The chill breezes that swept down
River st. might have discouraged
any one except a baseball fan. But
the followers of the New York
Yankees, donning sweaters, over
coats and other apparel shedding the
fragrance of moth balls came out in
force to see their heroes battle with
the st. Louis Cardinals.
Eyes on Ruth
Overshadowing interest in the out
come of the game itself, 1t seemed
from conversation up and down the
lines Of prospective bleacherites, was
the question as to whether one
George Herman Ruth would strut
his estimable stuff.
The Babe thus far in the series
has failed to make a homer on the
home grounds. The right-field stands
placed so invitingly close to the
plate have as yet to receive a ball
from Ruths bat.
Figuring on the dangerous law OF
averages the fans were betting even
money that Ruth would supply that
lack today. The noise that greeted
the Babes" three homers in
Wednesdays game at st. Louis
would be as nothing if he doled one
out today.
Police Busy
A half hour before the gates swung
open it appeared that the January
weather would have only scant effect
upon attendance. The nearly frost
bitten fans were thronging the
streets converging on the stadium,
and police were kept busy in form
ing the enthusiasts into lines before
the bleacher and unreserved Sec
tons.
Vendors with hot dogs and other
edibles had a harvest. The fans were
glad to eat to keep warm. But a
chance to make a million was lost
when no one appeared with oil
stoves and wooden comforters.
