NEW YORK, May 24.-cene
Tunney, who plans to leave within
q few days for his training camp at
Spectator, N. Y, believes that his
next opponent will be Jack Sharkey,
the Boston heavyweight, who
knocked out Jimmy Maloney here
last Friday.
Sharkey is the man will meet

said during discussion of Promot.
er Tex Richards plans. "I see
where Jack Dempsey picks Sharkev
to beat me. Well. I think that
Sharkey. Is immeasurably smarter
than Dempsey"
Richard himself was not m
certain as to who Tunney'S
next opponent will be, He said
he would like to nit Demnaev
against ISharkey here around
August /, but fears that the
former champion NAV decide
not to return to the ring.
Meanwhile Richard still hopes to

commission today in another effort
to have Pauline reinstated in this

Calling Jack Sharkey the man
who constitutes the threat to his
worlds heavyweight title, Gene
Tunney paid a striking tribute to
the Boston Lithuanian yesterday at
the office Of Promoter Tex Richard
during discussion of the battle
at the Yankee Stadium, in which
Sharkey knocked out Jim MaIoney
In five rounds last Friday night.
"Sharkey is as good a fighter
as I've ever SEEM" said Tunney.
He has everything. I was
really astOnished at his showing
last Friday night. He's smarter
than Dempsey and faster.

hitter. They have different
Sharkey stalks his man; lets him

NARBERRY
GL|STENS

So long as Fred Marberry is on
the job, the Griffs are dangerous.
No better proof ever was seen than
when he appeared on the scene in
the eighth inning Of yesterdays
game with the Yankees. The giant
Texan radiated confidence and, by
the same token. the champions
began shaking and shivering as he
prepared to face them.
The Griffs, scoring a couple Of
runs in the seventh, were leading,
8 to 2. when Marberry appeared on
the hill. Babe Ruth, who had
doubled off Braxton and reached
third on Gehrig's bounder to Judge,
carried the threat of tied score.

called upon his relieving ace.
At once Miller Higgins, the

piOns, yanked PaSchaI and sent
in Ray Morehart. a southpaw
hitter.
Marberry uncorked some terrific
shoots and soon had the pinch
hitter in a hole. Forced to hit at
something. Morehart swung blindly
at a high fast one and the inning
was over.
But the Yankees were not done
trying. Again in the ninth they
showed fight and kept the fans
trembling with t-I-iety. With one
gone, Dugan laced a two-bagger on
a line over Rigney's classic brow
and gave way to Gazella. Pat
Collins succeeded in getting a pass,
Vera replacing him. A hit meant
a tied score.
John Grabowsh came up for Bob
Shawkey and Marberry went to-
work on him. He Embossed all his
magnificent speed and struck out
the Yankee backstop. Then came
Earl Combs. He was soft, bouncing
to Rigney to force Vera. The

Gehrig followed with his tenth,
a high soaring fly surrounding
the right field wall close to the
foul line. And then and there
the Yanks were done scoring
for the day.
Rigney's triple to the left field
corner, with Bluege's long fly to
burst, gave the Griffs their first
run in the third frame and they
went ahead when Myles Thomas
blew up under the strain in the
seventh.
Goslin opened that seventh by
smashing a liner for three bases
right through Ruth to the score
board, Judge bringing him over
with long fly to Ruth. Then the
fun began. Ruel scratched a hit to
Koenig and the Yankee fumbled
Rigneys' roller altogether.
Thomas seemed worried and
walked Bluege, filling the bases.
Bucky Harris decided to gamble by
taking out Thurston. though the
pitcher had been holding the Yam.

came up and, being a patient lad,
