SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
July 2O.-When a ringman goes
into action it is with the
knowledge that three ways of
possible defeat may come to him:
IA knockout.
2To be outpointed.
3-To lose on a foul.
There's no fear in my heart
not the slightest worry-that
Sharkey's is going to put me to
sleep. Any time I look. at my
record for taking punishment and
compare myself with Sharkey as
a puncher, I can't see where his
haymakers are going to menace
me.
Sharkey couldn't floor either
Harry Wills or Mike McTigue-
men who are seven or eight
years older than / am. There
are fifteen to eighteen other
men-yOunger mef-isted in
his record who went the dis.
lance with him and never were
put on the floor.
So I'm reasonably safe from be-
ing knocked out.
Those who figure Sharkey to win
base their conclusion upon the idea
that he'll outpoint me. They think
he'll step all around me and keep a
left jab in my face all the time and
thus keep me from tearing into him
and ripping him from punches.
In my day I've fought plenty
Of men who were just about as
fast and probably as clever as
Sharkey: men with left jabs
that were counted to hold me in
check. Fulton. Brennan, Miske,
LeVinsky and Gibbons were iab.
bers par excellence. yet broke
through their 1abs and beat i
them.
And I'm going to break through
Shrakey's. imagine that I'll have
to take a few Of those jabs, but
when hand Sharkey a right-hand
stab to the heart or left hook for
the liver as payment for jab it
won't be long before he may decide
that the jab stuff is not so good.
Then he'll have to do one of two
things: ~ Get on a bicycle and
pedal his way to the finish, which
will lose him the decision, or (2)
stand up and slug it with me
which is just what I want. If
there's going to be any decision
victory in this fight-well, I'll hit
Sharkey enough left hooks to Offset
any points he may gain with his
left jabs.
The thing that worries me
about this fight is that foul
stuff. From all hear, Sharkey
seems to be the kind of boy
who goes into the ring with
tights draped up around his
neck. and then, If the going
gets bit rough he begins to
yell "Foul!''
hope what hear about Sharkey
isn't true; hope he's the. kind of
fellow who, If he must 60 down to
defeat, goes down gamely and hon.
estly. without trying to save him
self by some shady trick.
Through fourteen years I've
fought something like seventy
fights that are on the record book
and about fifty that aren't. In
all my career I've never been dis.
qualified. I've tried to fight cleanly
and fairly all through my battling
years and certainly do not intend
now to resort to any other method.
II can't whip Sharkey on merit,
