Dempsey Has
Lost Only Once
Via Knockout

Newt York, July 19.-(NEA)-Jack
Dempsey has been knocked out only
once in his ring career and has been
beaten only three other times In
70 bouts.
Forty-seven of these fights ended
in knockout victories for Dempsey.
Eleven were decision victories, two
were no-decision affairs, four were
draws and ten were exhibitions.
The battler who stands in a class
by himself is Jim Flynn, q Phoenix,
Ariz.. taxi driver today. Flynn
knocked Dempsey out in 1917, but
was paid back dearly later.
Dempsey got II knockout victories
in lYl8t and most of them came IN
the first round against such fellows
as Carl Morris, Bill Brennan, Arthur
Pelky, Fred Fulton and Kid Nc
Carthy.
His important knockout victories
however, are the ones over Jess Will
lard in 1919 at Toledo, which gave
him the world championship and the
ones over Billy Miske. Bill Brennan
Georges Carpenter and Luis Firpo
while defending his title.
That night of nights at the Sesqui
Stadium in Philadelphia last year
when he lost the title to Gene Tun-
ney goes down as Dempsey's greatest
loss. His other losses were early in
his fighting career to Jack Downey
and Willie Meehan.

Few Beatings
Mar Record of
Jack ShQrkeu

New York, July 19.-(NEA)-Not
quite as imposing record has Jack
Sharkey in comparison to the record
of his~1uly 81 opponent, Jack Demp-
sey, the ex-champion.
But, as the loquacious Mr.. Sharkey
would say were you to make COM
parison, those records won't win this
fight!
Sharkey came out of Uncle Sans
navy in 1924 to start to start box
ing and since that time has engaged
in 33 bouts.
Like. his friend Dempsey, he has
been Knocked out only once. That
was in his first year OF fighting and
Romero Rojas turned the sleep punch
loose on the Bostonian.
Sharkey has only nine knockout
victories to his credit. the more prom
inent ones beiHg those over the an-
cient Mike McTigue and Jim Maloney
during the past few months.
His victories include ones over Fly
Floyd Johnson, Johnson Risko, two
over Maloney, Harry Wills, George
Godfrey, Bud German and Eddie
Huffman. !.
That Rojas defeat, with defeats in
1924 by Maloney and Eddie Record
and in 1925 by Charley Weinent and
Bud German, are the only ones
charged against Sharkey in the box
ing records.
And this fight with Dempsey, you
ask? Well. Mr.. Sharkey would say
that one can be entered in now as q
victory and how! Wait and see.

Says He Will BE Ready to

Style of Milling
Critical Verdicts Favor Lith,
But Public Opinion Is
With Opponent

New York, July 19.-tP)-The only
thing Jack Sharkey fears in his pat-
tie with Jack Dempsey Thursday
night at the Yankee Stadium is that
the former champion may pull a
"sneak punch" as his manager calls
it, or, in palmer terms, land 4 lucky
blow. -
Sharkey himself dismisses the
idea with a gesture. He is conf len,
Dempsey won't be able to slip any,
thing over at any time. He feels
that he will be ready to meet the ex-
title holder on any terms or in any
style of milling. But his manager,
Johnny Buckley, doesn't want any
chances overlooked.
Doesn't Want Him OvercOnfident
Il don't want Jack to be too conf
dent Buckley declared today. 1.-The
only thing he has to fear is that
Dempsey may slip one through. a
sneak punch. A lot Of things can
happen in the ring but I don't see
how Sharkcy can fail to win by a
knock out. Jack is younger, faster
and more accurate, if not harder
hitter, than Dempsey

Campus Comment

An alumnus of the University of
Texas volunteers the belief that ten
mis- players Of that great institution
are likely to succeed Bill Tilden and
Bill Johnston in the tennis world
when those two veteran stars pass
out of the picture.
Which may. be quite true when you
consider that Texas. chiefly through
the efforts of Louis Thalheimer,
Lewis White, Wilmer Allison and
James Quick, has kept in the front
rank in collegiate competition for
many seasons.
Allison, as you probably remember.
won the national collegiate title not
SO many day ago at Philadelphia.
The doubles team of White and
Thalheimer is listed No. 6 in the
national ranking, and Quick, said to
be just as good as the other Texans,
was placed No. II in the junior sim
giles last year.
All of these players are far under
the age Of the French stars who
seem to have things their own way In
the tennis world at this time. But
they can't 60 on forever, neither can
Tilden and Johnston. So it is likely
that the Texas school will see her
favorite sons installed as create
provided some of the many other
young stars Of today do not get in
ahead Of them.

Umpire's Decisions
BY The Associated Press


The Pittsburgh Pirates today re-
gained the top Of the National League
by the narrowest Of margins. The
Chicago Cubs lost the lead they took
from the Corsiars earlier in the
month.
Chicago took an even break with
the Giants yesterday, but that wasn't
enough. Meanwhile, the Pirates were
avenging double defeat at the hands
of Philadelphia. DOME Bush's club
drove Tony Kaufman off the mound
in the third inning Of the opener
and won, 8 to Z. In the second, the
Pirates pounded Ferguson out and
snatched 6 to"S win.
Hartnett Hits Homer
Gabby Hartnett's home run in the
10th inning Of the first game gave
the Cubs a 6 to 4 margin on the
Giants but the New Workers beat
Charlie Rob in the next game, 3 to

homer in the seventh.
Hughie Critz was almost the whole
show at Boston in Cincinnati's

Brooklyn and st. Louis were halted
by rain.

the bases loaded in the ninth at st.
Louis but the Yanks beat the Browns
10 to 6. Lou Gehrig took the home
run lead away from Babe Ruth by
knocking one of Ernie Movers twist
ers out of Sportman's Park in the
eighth. Gehrig now has 81 homers,
one more than Ruth.

Saratoga Lake, N. Y, July 1o.-LP)
--Circumstantial evidence has very
nearly convicted Jack Dempsey of an
injured left arm only three days be-
fore the former heavyweight cham
plon must carry that nightly potent
weapon into combat with Jack
Sharkcy in the Yankee stadium.
But single mute witness, a bulky
leather sandbag Of 200 pounds heft,
slowly turned battered face to Il
jury Of newspaper men in the center
Of Jacks training ring and the
charge Of serious injury had to be
dismissed.
Official denial that Dempsey had
suffered such a blight to his chances
Of conquering the Boston sailorman
Thursday night might be incorrect,
but there was no denying the evil
dence offered in Jacks behalf by the
hapess bag after the workout yes.er-
day.
Rum0r Is Rife
Scarcely an hour after Jack, during
a sevcn-round workout had smashed
the bag for six whole minutes with a
series Of left hooks and vicious right
crosses that sent the big sack flying
almost to the ceiling, rumor spread
through the camp that an injury to
Dempsey's left arm had caused the
layoff in training over the past week
end and had brought about the form
er title sudden decision sew
eral days ago to do no more boxing
before the Sharkey melee. Manager
Leo 4. flynn admitted the arm was
sore and the craze for facts was
on.
ihe final explanation was this:
Several days ago Dempsey, in pro-
tecting himself from the hostile adj
vanees OF sparring partners, caught
several blows on his left arm A
slight soreness developed and Jacks
handlers, following a procedure they
always employ IN treating stiff mus
cles, wound the arm in liniment and
bandaged il lightly to protect his
clothing. The bandage itself had no
more significance than the soft cot
ton stockings Of thoroughbred
horse.
Slams Bag Hard
But one of the camp personnel. on
grabbing Jacks arm playfulIy Sun
day night, felt the bandages. The
whisper passed from man to man for
day and finally broke into a full
blown rumor after yesterdays work
out. But the way Jack had slammed
that bag shortly before ruined the
story.
Although he worked with no SPAR
ring partners, Dempsey yesterday
showed the newspaper men more
power, savageness and speed than at
any time in the training grind. For
six minutes, with arms held high,
Jack whanged the light punching bag
with never sign of WEAKNESS. Then
he stormed around the heavy bag.
Whipping both hands into the leather
with crushing power, for the first
time in three weeks of training here
Jack appeared to have regained
good deal of his old-time speed Of
foot. He finished with a round each
OF pulley work, shadow boxing and
ring calisthenies.
Dempsey's training here ends to-
day with short limbering workout.
He will leave for New York by train
tomorrow.

Raising the direct issue of Commits

ment owned and developed property.
the United Cigar Stores Co. today
threw down the gauntlet to the COM
mission. declaring that it does lot
now intend to change in any way the
plans for it's new building at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and E streets. The
Fine Arts body has not replied to the
direct challenge of the cigar company,
intending to let the matter rest until
the monthly meeting Thursday. At
that time an answer will be given
to the issue raised by the private
builders.
Only yesterday the commission was
asked by the Public Buildings Com

jurisdiction by some Government
agency over privately constructed
buildings abutting on or adjacent to
Government property. the intention
being to establish control of type OF
structures to be erected on the north

bill designed to place jurisdiction over
such structures in the hands of the

Commission. Construction work on

A week ago the commission wrote

IN CAUCUS DEMAND
Senator Curtis Instructed to
Confer With Independents
on Farm Relief.

Senate Republicans, in a conference
today, failed to accede to the demands
of five Western independents that as
surances be given for a vote on their
legislative program at this session.
In an effort to reach an agreement.
with the five progressive Senators the
Republican caucus instructed Ma jor.
ity Leader Curtis to confer with them
Senator Curtis did not elaborate on
the announcement of the action taken
by the conference further than to say
that he would confer with the West
ern Senators as soon as the opportu.
nifty presented itself. 1t was not GER.
tain whether he expected to come to
an understanding with the progress
sives or whether he would have to re-
port back to a future caucus the re-
suit of the peace parley.
Letter to Curtis.
Several days ago a group of West
erners, composed Of Senators La Fol-
lette and Blaine of Wisconsin. Frazier
and Nye of North Dakota and Ship
stead of Minnesota. addressed letter
to Senator Curtis, asking for assur.
ance that votes would be had at this
session on farm relief, bill limiting
the power Of the court in issuing in
functions and an investigation into
the American policy in Central and
South America. Senator Curtis gave
the group his personal assurance that
he would do everything possible to
bring the questions mentioned to a
vote, while pointing out that he could
not commit the majority. The Pro
gressives came back with a second
communication. insisting upon more
definite pledges. 1t was as result
of this second letter that Senator Cur
tis decided to lay the correspondence
before all of the Republican Senators
at the caucus today.
Although leaders did not reveal
what possible proposals might he
made to the progressives. the designa-
ing of Senator Curtis to meet with
them was looked upon as a move to
bring about some understanding.
Although the progressives who
united in writing the letters have not
said what course they would take II
they do not get the assurances asked
for. the final outcome Of the exchange
is expected to have an important bear.
, ing on the organization of the Senate.
In view Of the exceptionally close divi-
SiOl between RepuDIlCanS ana Demo-

gressive votes from the Republican to

cisive.
