putt Tor birdie two. Jones eQualed
the record for the first nine with a
81, duplicating his similar score of
last Tuesday when he set the record
Of G7.
Eagle on SIP Yard Hole
Jones closed this spectacular per-
formance today by shooting an eagle
three on the 512-yard ninth where his
spoon second, after screaming
to the applause of Il gallery nearly
mile long, lining both sides of the
long fairway and banked deep around
the green. He had scored two Brides
and had not been once over par. He
was five up ), at the first turn, al
though Evans, except for a bad six
on the ninth, had scored even tours.
Coming home, Jones made it six up
on the tenth with birdie and after
losing his first hole ut the eleventh
again made it six up at the fifteenth,
where Evans was short with his APP
proach when it hit the gallery. And.
after losing the sixteenth with his
only three putt green, he took the
home hole for his third lead Of six
up when Evans pulled his approach
to trap and took five.
Jones Out-Putts Evans
Jones had six one putt greens while
Evans had only two along with the
three putt greens. The Albanian out
drove Evans on virtually every hole.
This advantage usually was not great,
but on approaches Evans was inside
about as often as Jones. Chicks
first serious mistake was in over
approaching the green on the short
third hole, and he did not offend
again until the ninth where he
pushed his approach to q trap.
Evans was up against what most
of the other contestants have been, a
superhuman game of golf that could
not be equaled by any living golfer
except Jones. The British champion
has scored 10 under fours for the en-
tire week, including the bad 70 he
had Wednesday when he barely es-
capped defeat in the first match round.
His four scores, of which the last
three Of them in a row were 81, 68-
81, 67-271, is compared with the rec
ord of ,206 Evans set on this course
in 1916 in winning the national cham
ipionship.
Both Players Cheered
It was a cloudy Gay with sprinkle
Of rain once or twice, but the course
was not materially slowed by an
overnight shower. The gallery inn
partially cheered both players, moan
ing when Chick missed a hole and
cheering when Bobby dropped
seemingly impossible one. Among
the thousand Of onlookers was the
caddy who carried Chicks bag dur
ing the 1916 open.

ninth. which with its hill top green
and steep slope is equal to a 6OO-yard
hole. lost lots Of money to club mem
bers, who had bet that none of the
stars would make an eagle on it.
Evans most brilliant long play were
two beautiful wooden shots to the
ib41-yard thirteenth where he missed
a fairly short putt for an eagle three,
halving in par four.

Working Hard

Spectator. N. Y, Aug. 27.-(R-
Gene Tunney's next sparring session
has been set for. tomorrow afternoon.
The races at Saratoga today drew the
attention of the champion and his en-
tire retinue away from training.
Confident Of his physical fitness
Gene seems to regard his fight with
Jack Dempsey lightly. He did not
take up his gloves yesterday. but aft
err eight miles on the road in the
morning he led the way for several
of his guests in the afternoon on q
Ia mile hike.
Billy Vidabeck, one Of the cham
piOn's sparring partners who was in
the camp last year, expressed the
opinion that Tunney could we'll af-
tord to show down his boxing pro-
gram without any loss of effective
ness.
"Gene is in wonderful condition"
Vidabeck said. HE is bigger than he
was last year; he is strong and he
hits harder. don't see how Demp-
sey possibly can beat him. Gene is
harder to hit than ever"
! While Tunney's tentative plans
have called for him to break camp
next Tuesday and head for Chicago,
he may wait until the following day.
The champion today reiterated his
desire to stay in his mountain re-
treat as long as possible.
WEEK OF TRAINING
ENDS FOR DEMPSEY
Chicago, Aug. 27.-tR)-Jack Demp-
sey ends his first week of activities
at his Lincoln fields training quar-
ters today still with about seven
pounds to get rid of before meeting
Gene Tunney in Soldier field next
month.
Manager Leo p. Flynn made known
that the ex-champion scaled around
203 and would get down to about 1876
in time for the fight. Jack went
through four rounds of sparring with
three Of his stablemates. yesterday
and finished the day feeling better
than at any time since coming on
from Los Angeles.
Dempsey's discolored eye, the con-
sequence of his first sparring bouts
Wednesday, apparently did not worry
the ex-champion as he warmed up to
his mates yesterday and in the four
rounds he paid. little heed to pro-
tecting it.
Flynn is gradually increasing the
intensity of the training camp rou-
tine, but said he would be careful
not to bring Jack along too rapidly
for fear of his going stale before the
fight.

SHARKEY MISSING OFTEN.
AND ALSO "TELECRAPHS''

Iprove so fatal in battle with power
! full hitter.
You can time and anticipate almost
| all of Sharkey's leads. I tried this
yesterday. I was able to foreca st
every blow Sharkey started for one
round. That was the only round
tried it, and I told my friends who
were with me just what Sharkey was
going to do each time he let one go.
Sharkey has gotten SO that he
weaves lower, and more with his
body than he did when I looked at him
week or more ago. At that time
he was weaving nicely, better than
Dempsey, but now he is bending a bit
| too low, and has too much of his
body in the motion. l thought he
| looked better and did better when he
| was weaving more with his head. He
was more elusive then and. even if
| he did get hit, he was generally
rolling" with the punch.
Sharkey showed a bit of viciousness,
as / said at the beginning, in this
workout. But I'd rather see him in
his almost careless attitude than in
one of these rather wild attacks. These
latter make it appear as if jack loses
! his head or gets a bit rattlnd when hit
or disconnected by an unexpected
blow.
I'll agree with Johnny Buckley that
Sharkey knows what's doing all the
time, but even when a man is very
angry he plenty of time knows what
he is doing. But the fact remains that
he does it. He does things he would
not do in cooler moments.
Sharkey seems to be in grand phys
ical condition. He tells me that he'll
win, and he doesn't brag about it. Just
says it as if any idea of him losing is
preposterous. He's confident, sincere.

He happened to spot Gene Normile,

know a lot of folks will say some
thing about the Dragging Sailor doing
his stuff again. However, some of
the newspaper boys put the thing up
to me direct, and there is my answer.

Of the newspaper boys snapped me
right up and wanted to know If that
meant I was going right in after
Dempsey with the crack of the bell.
Maybe / ought to explain What L
am driving at when l intimate that
| am liable to take Dempsey in
hurry and yet not bring such a thing
about by sluGgins my way to quick
victory.
The answer is that I honestly be-
lieVe my hitting has improved
greatly, and / would not be surprised
to see Jack so down very early If
nail him with a good punch to the
mouth. 1t doesn't have TO be right,
either.
Maybe I am mistaken, but ! have
certain reasons for believing that
DEMPSEY cannot take it like he used
to. l don't care to so into these rea-
sons, and they don't mean that l do
not regard Dempsey as still danger
Gus fighter.
If he does so down and gets up, you
can take a bet on it that he'll go
down in a hurry again. Once 1 feel
I've got my man it won't be case
of playing safety first as long as Gene
Tunney did. 1 am going to take ad-
vantage of anything that I may have
over Dempsey in the matter of speed
and skill, but. at the same time, I am
going out to give the spectators a
fight for their money, for they GER
tainly are paying plenty to see this
one. No matter how far some of the
critics may think Dempsey has
slipped. I still think with what he has
left and his great courage that you
are going to see a whale OF hight.
I'll do my part to make it one.

n TEW YORK, July 19.--I never
saw so much interest in a non
N championship battle as there
/ is in this Jack Sharkey and
Jack Dempsey match. More
than 1000 fight fans sweltered in the
Madison Square Garden gym yester-
Gay afternoon and saw Sharkey go
through his training stunts, which
he did with quite a showoff of vigor.
I learned later that he has cut out
roadwork in the morning and this
accounted for his extra pep.
lie battered Paul Cavalier for two
rounds. clouted Urban for two and
went a round with Leo Gates. Only
fva rounds, but he put lot into
them, and at the finish he weighed
192 pounds. his manager, Johnny
Buckley. told me. ! didn't watch him
weigh. for it doesn't make much diff
ference what his weight is now. He's
about at the notch and anything be-
tween 100 and 1876 would be fine for
him.
Much has been saida and written
about Sharkey's left hook. Well.
Sharkey hasn't got left hook. What
he has is a swing, a left swing, and
that's a lot different than hook.
Its longer and travels farther. It is
easier TO avoid, but there is more
power in it when and if it lands.
Missed Plenty, Too.
The critics seemed to be much i'm
pressed with Jacks viciousness in
there yesterday. He certainly hit a
number of hard swipes. but I noticed
that he missed, and missed plenty.
Sharkey ought to be much more accu-
rate with his punches by now than
he showed in this workout. He has
only one more day to polish up. and in
spite of what Johnny Buckley, his
manager, and Harry Kelly, his
trainer. say about how he'll fight a
different fight in the ring, still those
faults that pointed out Monday still
hang on.
Sharkey feints lot and he, did that
Yesterday. When he finally does
step in with that left swing, he leaves
himself wide open. He is wide open
when he is attacking.
Also, when he tries to step in with
hic right he seems to misjudge his
distance and he falls in and is not as
effective with the blow as I would
like to see him.
He still hangs on to that bad habi
of dropping his left hand down at hi
side, down to his knee. almost. II
were Kelly this would fret me ter
ribly. / sure would get after Jack t.

Oh, don't think I'm looking for per

fine young boxer, such an excellen
fighter as Sharkey, have these fault
that are so easily corrected, and cal
