go was Jack Sharkey to 5 fav-
orite when the former champion an
nounced he was going to attempt
comeback.
The odds, it will be recalled,
shifted strangely a few hours be-
fore Dempsey went into the ring
against Sharkey and when the
fighters were ready to work, Demp-
sey was six to five favorite.
There were stories at the time
that Arnold Rothstein and Abe At
tell, who pulled an alleged coup in
the first Dempsey.Tunney fight,
had bet the homestead aud all the
family. jewels on Dempsey. But it
was learned later that Rothstein
and other big operators were not
playing Dempsey, that they were
loading all their cash on Sharkey,
especially after the first round and
that the big operators lost about
&25o,000 on their misplaced judg'
rnent.
: The early odds mean little. Money
is offered as feeler and the oper-
ator who can get his money down
first at good price has a chance
to copper bis bet if he thinks his
money is in the wrong groove.
The early odds probably will
shift because Dempsey always has
been hard man TO bet against and
as long as he is able to walk into n
ring and lift his hands he will be
a risky man to get against.
