Dempsey Tired i'm Third.

In The third round. it looked as if
it was only Il question of time when
Dempsey would fall down from
key. as the only thing Dempsey had
left was grit and the thought. "I'll get
this fellow with one desperate punch"
AS the rounds continued Dempsey
would iunge and put everything he
had behind that left hook. 1t landed
often. but did no damage. OF course,
it slowed Sharkey up. especially those
body blows in the first two rounds.
Nevertheless, Sharkey was by far the
stronger and steadier. He took the
former champion once by the arm and
just twisted him around-imagine
Dempsey pushed around. Sharkey
fought exactly as he trained, allowing
himself to be punched in the midsec-
ton in close quarters without even
trying to protect himself. OF course,
can understand Sharkey not being
hurt by those blows and he, being 81
cocky fellow. thought he'd let Demp.
sey wear himself out. But all the time
these blows were slowing him UP and
robbing him of his vitality.
In the fifth round Sharkey came
out and for the first time boxed, moved
around, made Dempsey miss and coun-
tered with q series of lefts and rights
to Dempsey's head and had Dempsey's
nose bleeding and also put a cut on
Dempsey's right eye.
In this round Dempsey to me was a
pitiful sight trying to reach Sharkey
and get into close quarters, and Demp-
sey would hit Sharkey on his tights,
making Sharkey back away, his guard

Dempsey Out Slowly.

Referee O'Sullivan called them both
into the center of the ring, gave the
instructions and they went back to
their corners. The bell sent them on
their way.
Dempsey came out slowly, crouch.
ing over to one side, something like
the one used by Jim Jeffries. Demp-
sey threw a left hook which landed on
Sharkey's shoulder and they went into
a clinch. Dempsey pounded at Shark
ey's body with left and right hooks.
One of these punches was below the
belt. Sharkey stood his ground and
fought Dempsey right back in Demp-
sey's own style. Sharkey continued to
fight Dempsey at close range and cared
nothing at all about boxing Dempsey.
Right there and then l was worried,
for again Dempsey hit Sharkey a low
punch, which made the Bostonia<
crumple up and put his guard very
low as if he felt another hook of
Dempsey's was coming low.
In the second Sharkey came up very
fresh and looked none the worse for
the little ruffiing Dempsey gave him.
He walked right into Dempsey and
again started to fight in close. He con-
tinued this for the entire round and
could not understand why Sharkey de-
iiberately slugged with Dempsey. when
he knew he could outlook him, make
Dempsey miss and wear him out, and
then come on and fight Dempsey at
his own game. But apparently
Sharkey thought Dempsey's blows
could not hurt him and he also saw
Dempsey firing. as everybody else did
Apparently, though. he thought he
would show the public that he could
fight and stop Dempsey by fighting
and not by boxing. This was a fatal
mistake, against which I warned him

BY BENNY LEONARD.

Retired Lightweight Champion of the World.
NEW YORK, July 22.-I didn't see
how Jack Sharkey could lose to Jack
Dempsey in the ring If he boxed the
ex.champion.
could see how he would lose If
he snapped punches with Dempsey.
He did the latter and he lost.
Sharkey fought all wrong, forgot
to box and allowed Dempsey to hit
him at close quarters as he did with
his sparring partners in the gym.
If Sharkey had boxed there would
have been nothing to it. for Dempsey
was through after the first round.
All he did was go along and try to
connect and win by a knockout,
which was impossible. AS the rounds
progressed Dempsey's face and body
told the sad tale that he was through.
Dempsey was the first to enter the
ring, and the moment he reached his
corner he began prancing up and
down as l said he would do. Sharkey
climbed into the ring soon after and
started to scowl at Dempsey, but
Dempseys back was turned to him.
Dempsey was first introduced. and
as the cheering and applause grew
in volume Sharkey also applauded.
When Sharkey's turn came Dempsey.
too, applauded. but with his back
turned to Sharkey.

RIGHT TO KILL ILL
PERSON STIRS REICH
German Pastors Play on Proposal
to End Suffering Is Debated
Throughout Nation.

by the aSSOCldLeu tTcSS,
FRANKFORT-ON-O Germany,
January 11.-Nation-wide discussion
has been aroused on the question
whether it is right to kill a person
afflicted with an incurable malady
The subject, on which all sorts of
opinions have been expressed In the
past, has been revived by play,
THE Mother written by Rev. Walter
NithaCk- Stain, pastor of the fashion
able Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
of Berlin. which recently was given
for the first time in the Frankfort
Municipal Theater.
In the play a daughter is found to
be incurabIy insane. She has attacks
which threaten to become worse as
time goes on and which presage d
life Of torture both for the patient
and those who love her. Her mother,
unable to. see her daughter suffer,
gives her a sufficiently large dose of
q medicine to kill her.
When the physician taCtfullY sug-
gests that undoubtedly she misjudged
the dose or administered it at the
daughters wish without knowledge
of its fatal effect, the mother stanch-
ly maintains, Il have killed her"
The mother is brought to trial.
Despite her self-acCusatiOn she is &C
quilted.
Thus. it is commented, the drama
fist has replied positively to the ques-
ton of whether it is right under Ger
tain circumstances to kill At the same
time he offers what might be termed
an ethical recompense." No sooner
is the mother acquitted than she
atones for what she still believes to
be a blameworthy act by becoming
nurse at a hospital where nervous
disorders are treated.
