New Britain herald., 1927-07-19


have decided the outcome of the
Dsmpsey-s harkey 4. fight Thursday
night We come to the stage in the
preliminaries in which tbs two prin-
cipals in the bout are finishing their
training.
The diversified opinions express
ed on the outcome OF the heavy
weight battle which is drawing a.
much, II not more. interest than Z
championship encounter. shows how
the fight is being doped out all over
the country. Dempsey has his back
ers and Sharkey has his.
Betting on the fight for the most
part, Is very light. Sharkey rules the
favorite at 6 to s, but predictions
are that the odds will disappear by
tomorrow night and that even money
will be placed.
The Herald" will have tho wire
service of the Associated Press In
operation Thursday night and = blow
by low account Of the battle will be
annol lced from the windows on
Church street. One Of tho largest
crowds in the more recent years is
expected out to hear ths returns.
Stories coming from Dempsey &
camp today state that he Is display
ing almost all his old time speed.
Probably he has been working I'M
der wraps and has a great deal
more stuff than he has been show
ing to the public.
Dempsey certainly has the fight
world buffaloed and those who are
wise in their betting ways. are show
ing a disposition to shy at the start
ing wire before placing their "gelt"
on either man. Cautious betting is
the rule rather than the exception.
Once again the Girls Industrial
Baseball! League game last night was
interrupted by the crowding Of the
spectators. 1t might be we'll to elimi-
nate the crowd that persists In
standing behind the catcher and in
dulge in the remarks which are COM
edy to them but which nettle all
others.
The suggestion to rope off the dia-
mond is being accepted all around
and it is our fond hope that steps
will be taken to make the crowds
which attend the games act orderly,
at least.
Here's the real dope on the COM
ing heavyweight battle:
Harp" 1goe-sharkey will have
to beat two things when he steps
into the ring Thursday: Overcon-
fidence and Dempsey. Why. there's
nothing to it but Dempsey, you wait
and see.
Among those who will be present
at the ringside Thursday night will
be Coach George NJ. Cassidy of the
New Britain high school football
team. "Cass" expects to make the
trip from his farm in Poultney, Vt.
The coach is working hard in his
spare time to complete the football
schedule. According to tentative ar
engagements, games are to be played
with Troy Conference Academy on
the latter's battle grounds and with
Grenville, Mass. which last year
hung a defeat on the Hartford pub
lie high school football team.
The usual games with New Haven
Hillhouse, Weaver high school OF
Hartford and other state high school
teams will also be played. The sea-
son will end on November 18th
when New Britain will be host to
Hartford high on the Memorial field
grounds in Willow Brook park.
