BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Corresponding

NEW YORK, July 9.-One of
the primary assets of a successful
prize fighter is confidence.
And young man just oozing

Looking over Jack Sharkey of
Boston, talking to him and watch.

preparations for his battle with
Jack Dempsey a fortnight hence is
dangerous for an observer.
For this big L.ihuanian with his
steel blue eye and massive frame,
swinging confidently through the
final stages of his training today is
bound to inspire confidence in his
ability to win his way to the heavy
weight championship of the world.
When Jack Dempsey was here,
face to face with Sharkcy, over
awing the simple sailor with super
ior savoir faire, the Bostonian did
not appear so impressive.
But now, with the actual battle
only two weeks away, there is Il
masterful swing to Sharkcy s move
ments, an Impression of justified
confidence about the Lithuanian $
training mancuNcrs.
To let Sharkey tell il, the fight
is as good as over.
"Ill take him and take him in
n few rounds Don't forget, the
Boston heavyweight said after his
first New York workout.
An the talk I've heard about
the fight, lack added, has been
about whether Dempsey can come
back or not.

not need to come back. If ! can I

New Kind of Cure

After practicing medicine for 80
years Doctor Halben of Germany has
come TO the conclusion hat the best
way TO treat patients recovering from
serious illnesses is to prescribe a trip
In the sky for them, says the New
York Post. He declares that three or
four days spent soaring among the
clouds is far better for c~onvalescents
than three weeks spent at the seaside
or In the country. Zone feels new
born," says the doctor. 'and returns
to earth with a feeling Of well-being."
This sort Of cure will appeal to the
rising generation. What young boy
or girl, for that matter-would fail to
follow the directions of his doctor and
his nurse IL he were promised a trip
In a balloon or On airplane as soon as
he got out of bed? That would be
something to look forward to-some-
thing worth getting well for. Sick.
ness would become a mere prepare
ton for a great pleasure. The doc
tors suggestion seems entirely req.
sonable. The air up there must bs
pure and wholesome. and such a TRIP
certainly offers a soothing change of
scenery every waking minute Of the
day. Better than all. the convalescent
would escape answering innumerable
questions concerning his illness.
something he could not escape at any
health resort on earth.
