Boston Lithuanian Has No
Doubt of Gaining Victory
Over Dempsey-'Made to
: Order For Me- He Says Of
Ex-Champion = 'Tunney's
EASIER He Ayers
By ALAN J. GOULD

ASSOCIATED Press Sports Editor)
New York, July 13.-LR-Confi-
dence-plus--that's Jack Sharkey.
No aspirant for heavyweight cham
o.onship honors ever climbed into
ing with more assurance, expressed
and otherwise, than the Boston Lith-
uanian. IT he whips Jack Dempsey
on July q at the Yankee Stadium,
thereby gaining the right to fight
Gene Tunney for the title, it will
merely be a fulffllment of Sharkey's
own predictions.
Dempsey Sharkey has said, "is
made to order for me. / will beat
him sure. And Tunney? He will be
easier than Dempsey"
Advances Fast
Confidence, plus his unusual fight
ing equipment. has carried Sharkey
rapidly up the fistic ladder, lessthan
a year. When other heavyweights
were sidc-stepping the so-cailed
dark menace" Harry Wills, Sharkey
went about bcsieging promoters to
match him with the negro. He final
ly convinced Humbert Fugazy to do
it, but there were few #. any ex-
perts who had any idea Sharkey
would upset the giant ex-stevedore at
Ebbets Field last October.
After crawling through the ropes
that night. ,Sharkey stuck out his chin
in an aggressive manner, gave Wills
what is generally known as the "cyc."
then walked over to the radio and
declared:
Hello. folks! m lick Wills sure
as shooting tonight"
1t is well-known ring history that
Sharkey did click Wills, scientific
ally and thoroughly, although the
decision went to him on foul in
the thirteenth round.
Fight Made Him
Sharkey was made by his deci-
sive victory over Wills, who was thus
eliminated from the picture as a
heavyweight contender q fortnight
after the downfall of Dempsey be-
fore Tunney at Philadelphia.
Again last winter, when Mike Nc
Tigue was on the high road of a SEN
sational comeback, bowling over
such men as Pull Berlenbach, Sharkey
showed no fear of Michael's new
found punch.
4It's a shame to fight such an old
man but I'm willing to do it If no
one else will" Sharkey commented
Mike proved a tougher nut to crack
than even Sharkey figured, however.
The Bostonian won on technical
knockout in the twelfth round. Had
the fight been limited to ten, Nc
Tigue might have taken the decision.
But Sharkey, at least, showed his
ability to take it" in this bout, alb
sorbing Mikes hardest wallops with
out even hint Of going down.
Has Vocal Vigor
Sharkey lacked none of his custom
airy vocal viRor before his outdoor
battle with Jimmy Maloney, fellow
Bostonian. at the Yankee Stadium in
May.
"Maloney always has been made to
order for ~e," Sharkey asserted.

been punching, apparently as hard as
ever in his brilliant career, and it is
the power Of his punch on which he
depends to carry him through to a
victory.
