SHARKEY And DEMPSEY WIND Up
TRAINING IN DASHLNC FASHION;
both CLAIM TO Be IN THE PINK.

Only long walk in Central Park
and rub down are ON the card
fer tomorrow, the fighter having
reached the peak OF condition and
his fighting weight of 1872 pouncs.
Trained down to o fine edge,
Sharkey found it harder than ever
to pull" his punches today and
he uncorked some steaming rights
and lefts in sparring which drew
words Of caution from his corner.
Both hands we're dealing punish
ment in the fighters one round with
Paul Cavalier and two with Johnny
Urban, but the most effective punch
Sharkey landed was vicious left
hook that was almost 3 swing, FOL
lowing close on the heels OF a right
feint 1t staggered Urban despite
the huge Is ounce glove which pill
lowed Sharkey's fist
Sharkey swept through his final
workout with dash, speed and a
confident smile, yet, he showed no
slackening in attention to training
details. Several minutes OF rope
jumping to timber his legs preceded
the three rounds OF sparring, and q

on the light bag followed it.
Nearly 1,500 fans watched the
boxer in the glass enclosed gym
atop Madison Square Garden, while
the seat sale for Thursdays fight
passed the $4,000 mark, in tickets
and neared the $10OOOOO mark in
receipts.
Sharkey continued a tavoritc in
the betting. Wagers were reported
at odds ranging from six to five, to
13 to 10 on Sharkey TO win.
The bulk OF Dempsey money was
placed at longer odds, about / to
3, on the chance of knockout
victory for the former champion.
The card OF bouts supplementary
to the main go Thursday night was
completed today when George Man
ley of Denver, and Ray Neuman or
Jersey City, light heavyweight, were
matched for six roGnder to be
staged after the Sharkey-DempSey
battle -Four Ground bouts Will pre-

WHITE SULPHUR SP r l N q 5,
Saragota Lake, N. Y, July 19 a1-
Closing training with an easy llve-
round workout, Jack Dempsey To-Day
hammered light and heavy bags for
nine minutes as proof that he has
suffered no injury to his left arm.
Tapering off in the stretch OF
preparation for the 15-round battle
with Jack Sharkey in the Yankee
stadium Thursday night, Jack dis
played all the viciousness OF perfect
mental and physical trim. The for
i1ler heavyweight champion sought
only to add final touch to marx
manship and condition before 1eav-
ing tomorrow morning by automo-
bile and train for New York.
Apparently aware that reports OF
injury to his portside battery, strong
est weapon in the Dempsey arnla
ment, had spread far and wide, Jack
opened up ON both bags with a
harrage of left hooks that nearly tore
the sacks from their mooringS. The
rat@a-tat-tat of the light leather
sounding steadily against the board
ceiling, during the six minute drill,
was broken occasionally as Jack
gr1lnted, whanged over a terrific lett,
and growled toward the spectators
as if to dare contradiction that the
hand was in any but perfect con-
dition.
Again in driving assault on the
heavy bag, Dempsey put every ounce
of power behind driving lett smashes
intended for the body. Previous to
the three rounds OF bag punching
the former titleholder yanked pulleys
and shadow boxed for two rounds.
He ended the day with a minute OF
ring exercise.
Dempsey will leave the camp
about IL a. NJ tomorrow morning
after an hour of road work.
NEW YORK, July 19 H0-With a
last resounding swipe at a punching
bag after three final rounds in the
ring, Jack Sfarkey today wound up
his training for the battle OF his
life against Jack Dempsey Thursday
night.

BasebalIdom Honors
Giants Manager On
His 18th Anniversary

NEW YORK, July 10 HG-Base-
balloon joined hands with New
York City today in honoring John
j. McGraw, veteran manager on the
New York Giants, who won ten ma
tional league pennants and three
worlds series championships tor the
nations metropolis and who III 70
seasons at the helm has finished in
the second division only twice.
1t was rs years ago today that Nc
GraW came TO New York as Giant
manager during the bitter days of
baseball war. McGraw at that
time left the American league to re-
turn to his first love but American
league magnates turned out ou his
Jubilee to pay tribute to his re-
markable career.
Colonel Jacob Rupert, owner OF
the Yankees, took a prominent part
in the celebration and Ban Johnson,
retiring head OF the American league
and once one of McGraw'S bltteresy
foemen, was an honorary member
of the executive committee.
Despite showers, 10000 turned out
at the Polo grounds where parade
was held in McGraw's honor with
many notables in line. Mayor Walk
er of New York and the trans-At-
lantic air heroes Commander E@sIch-
ard E. Byrd and Clarence Chamberlin
headed the march. Other celebrities
were Baseball Commissioner KeneSaw
Lands, President John Heydler of
the National league, Secretary John
Farrell of the Monor leagues and
Emil Fuchs, owner Of the Braves.
McGraw received numerous gifts
of silver, and flowers along with
scores of congratuIatory kilograms
from all parts OF the world.
Mayor Walker presented McGraw
with a large silver loving cup on be-
half of his friends in New York. On
the cup was figure OF McGraw as
a ball player in the uniform OF the
old Baltimore Orioles
The New York players presented
their pilot with silver service,
Roger Bresnahan making the ad
dress. A silver platter was gift
of the Lambs club and silver
headed cane remembrance from
the park ushers.
The defeat today at the hands o.
the Cubs during the jubilee festival
duplicated McGraw's team showing
in the first contest, under his man
agement two decades and half ago
when the Giants we're downed by the
Phillies. Before the regular cham
pionship game, prominent theatrical
stars !burlesqued a contest.

CONNIE MACK TALKS
OF ATHLETICS

The showing of the Philadelphia
Athletics to date has been most dis
appointing Manager Connie Mack
has been the chief mourner.
Making the cross country jump from
Boston to ST., Louis, spent several
hours discussing baseball III general
and the Athletics in particular, with
Connie.
In the spring when I looked the
Philadelphia club over at Ft. Myers,
Fla, it seemed to me enough strength
hao been added in Cobb, Collins,
Wheat and Boley practically to insure
the pennant.
Connie Mack, was very frank in
expressing the belief that this was a
Philadelphia year. The same conf
dent spirit pervaded the ranks OF the
players. Some of the boys had started
to figure just what to do with the
world series money.
A mighty good ball club in 1926, it
certainly looked as if the four stars
mentioned above would add the nee
essary paise and power to make it
pennant winner
Little wonder that Connie
Mack is disguised, when, with the
season more than half over, he
finds his club only few games
better than the 500 mark on the
years play.
BLAMES LOSSES ON PITCHERS
"This has been the most disappoint-
ing season of my entire career, re-
marked Connie. Things will have to
be mighty pleasant the rest OF the
summer to erase the worries of the
first half

gether pennant winner after many
years of experimenting. So far the

Yet I know it. is a, much better ball

do you know what club has gotten
the poorest pitching in the league
this year?" he asked. Before I had a
chance to reply he answered his own
question with:
"The Athletics
when tn eseason opened thought
had the best balanced stall IN the
league. The pitching averages prove
to the contrary.
ST figured my three right-handers,
Gray, Rommel and Ehmke, would
turn in approximately SO victories on
the season., an average of about II
each. With the season more than
half over, the trio has won only one
fifth of that number.
Lack of pitching has killed off the
chances of the Athletics"
Failure to be a strong pennant
contender all the way has caused
some Of the experts to venture
the opinion that Manager Mack
