Experts Disagree on Winner on
the Eve Of The Bout

New York, July 20 R-So- called
expert opinion differed sharply here
today on the eve of the Sharkey-
Dempsey fight.
Tom Sharkey famous old timer
in the heavyweight ranks, and from
whom Boston Jack got his fighting
name, was inclined to favor his
namesake, chiefly because Of his
youth and splendid physical condi-
ton.
Tom O'Rourge, veteran manager;
Gene Normile, Dempsey's former
manager: Jack Delaney, the light
heavyweight champion; Sid ferris.
New York lightweight; Jack Re-
nault, the Canadian heavyweight;
Abe Goldstein, the former bantam
weight champion, and Ruby Gold
stein, New York lightweight, were
among those who expressed pre-
ference for Dempsey's chances.
On the Sharkey side were Tex

tender; Jack Curley, promoter Of
the Willard johnson bout; Sammy

Jimmy DeFoorest, former trainer
of Dempsey, and a noted conditioner
of boxers, believes Dempsey has re-
gained enough of his old time form
to beat Sharkey even if the fight
goes the limit.
A newspaper poll among its read

BHdG.Borah Arguments on Dry Question Brings s. R. 0. Sign

Boston. April 5 P--With a ie- ported scramble for tickets said to compare favorabNy in intensity and price altitude with anything seen on the eve Of a Harvard Yale football game, and with the general public resigned 70 passive participation via two radio stations, the Butler Borah prohibition debate tonight was awaited with all the zest Of a tra- litional college clash.
 The acceptance by Chairman Wil- liam Morgan Butler Of the repubh- can national committee Of an invi- tation to occupy a place on the plat form along with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler 0, Columbia University and Senator William Edgar Borah had served 10 ease rumors of a possible republican split, brought to the open with the withdrawal Of Frank w. stearns. another friend Of President Coolidge, from the Roosevelt Club Inc. which was sponsoring the de- nate.

Stearns, h,m- self. however, declined to comment.
 An interesting side-Nght on the debate was the report persist ent to- day that the Roosevelt Clubs stock lad been boosted many hundred per cent by the affair.
 Although President Washburn did not confirm the report that his or ganization had jumped from a pal try seven members a few weeks ago 10 its fully authorized strength of 1000, he did admit that the club had dropped away to about $50 last summer
 At present, he said, not only were there 1000 members whose dues had been paid 10 months in advance but there was a waiting list of 35.
 Cnoffically the reason for the quick change in the clubs fortunes was seen in the realization by those wishing to be present at the debate that tickets were available only to members.

 Under practically completed ar ,angements President Butler will be given 45 minutes for the presenta- ton of the affirmative tonight, Sena- TOT Borah will follow with a 60 min ute discussion of the negative and rebuttal. and Dr. Butler will have l5 minutes in which to close.
 The precise wording Of the oues- ton, as agreed upon by both speak CTS was:
