Merchant Is American
Hope With Hammer
At Olympics

The Pacific Coast has an
understood Hercules, competing
in the colors of the Olympic
Club of San Francisco, who is
expected to be of great value
to Uncle Sam when the Olym-
pics are contested in Amster-
dam next year. He is Johnny
Merchant, the newly crowned
hammer throw champion, who
beat ITO feet in his speciality
at the National A. A. u. games
at Lincoln and who had been re-
ported to have done better than
that in practice.
Merchants all-around ability
in the field gave the University
of California three Intercol-
legiate A. A. A. A. titles in a
row several years back, and
now that he is with the Olympic
Club, the newly-crowned cham
pion seems to have improved in
his work. Matt McGrath is
dropping back, and Freddy Too

has held for many years.

ever it is, IL anything, it couldn't be

johnson said he was glad the
load had been lifted from his

striving to make baseball the
greatest of American sports have

He predicted that within the next
few years a third major league

the club owners who thought l was

NEW YORK, July 1S.-F'ulfilling
his prediction of last week, Jack
Sharkey hit his fighting stride to-
day and revealed to those interested
some definite indication of the
capabilities he expects are going to
enable him to send Jack Dempsey
back to Hollywood on July FL.
Before a crowd of interested spec.
tators at Madison Square Garden,
Sharkey went in for a brief work
out of eight rounds. When he
started training last Friday, the
heavyweight championship con-
teHder announced he would show
some actual form the early part of
this week. and he held to his
promise. He moved fast, stayed
in close. guarded himself well, and
shortened his punches without
losing accuracy or force.
