UPRIGHT

The Cubs and Pirates are Keeling
around the National League ring
like Jack Sharkey today, while the
world champion st. Louis Cardinals
are apparently on the verge OF pull
ing a Dempsey and regaining their
proud position at the head Of the
pack. The Cubs are in first place
again, but they got there by the
somewhat negative method of losing
only one game while the Pirates
were losing two.
Having been walIOped by the
Giants, the Cubs tossed off .
7.to.3 decision to the Phillies
yesterday. They now are only
two and a half games in front
Of the third place Cardinals.
Ray Kremer, Pittsburgh pitching
ace, regained his early season form
but unfortunately Kent Greenfield
regained his form Of two years ago
at the same moment. Each allowed
only five hits but the Braves won,

injury by taking the nightcap, to 2.

TODkYS SRQRTORIAL
BY kIrk Miller

As an army travels on its
stomach, so travel the intrigal
parts thereof. A parable on the
defeat of Jack Sharkey last
night might be drawn from such
a premise. Jack Sharkey's
stomach wasn't built for travel
ing against good hitters and
when that caved in, his brain
caved in, he became hysterical
and started to look at the referee
instead of Dempsey's gloves
and in an unguarded moment
took one of Dempsey's short
left hooks to the jaw and bit
the dust, brethren, bit the dust.
With such a gesture on the
part of Jack Dempsey, the
Hollywood husband and ex-
champion of the world, went
the hopes of the United States
Navy and the boys who like
to lay a little on the line, par
ticularly when the odds are
tempting. A pack of money
was lost on Sharkey and q lot
of experts who figured Demp-
sey absolutely through after the
Sesqui fiasco had their tongues
in the sides of their cheeks.
Joe Holman, who has a bent
for verse lifts a toast to Demp-
sey, it being the cream right
off the top of very interesting
stack of morning mail. List,
then to Joe's rawlings and don't
think this an invitation to flood
this column of intellect and
predictions with verse:

Sharkey5 started well; Dempsey
not so well. j imagine that the
experts would certainly give Shar-

that it looked to me like Dempsey's
fight.
He OutsIugged Sharxey and
he outboxed him and won all

Sharkey put up a courageous
fight, but I cannot say it was an
awfuIly heady one. He thought
what he had heard about Dempsey
being an old man was all true. So
he went out to slug it and to rough
it and he was battered down and
finally knocked out.
The comeback of Dempsey was
q thriller for the crowd and it was
q spectacle that viii live long in

went TO his corner after the first.

kept charging in with the old ag-
gressiveness and played to the body
as viciously as Of yore. Except for
his painful lack of speed and
stamina, he fought a typical Demp-
sey fight. It merely was unfortu-
nate that Sharkey didn't get around
to doing the same for himself.
The Washington times., 1927-07-22

The Washington times., 1927-07-22

For Dempsey, often compared to
the tiger, might be old and broken
and toothless. but as long as a
tiger breathes he is dangerous to
human kind, and so 1t is with the
man who lives within the man who
masquerades under the synthetic
polish and culture that is William
Harrison Dempsey.
1t SENS like taking something
from a citizen who has about every
thing today when say that Sharkey
lost the fight as much as Dempsey
won it. This great hook-and-''I''-
man hardly could go wrong against
the remnant Of Dempsey that
plodded doggedly about the ring last
night. But the point is that Shar-
key did go wrong, awfully, painfully
wrong.

Just because George Is two down

a most sincere sap last night.
He had before him the spectacle
that was presented at the Phila-
delphia stadium last September
when Gene Tunney quite sensibly
declined to meet Dempsey body to
body and heave at 1t like a couple
of longshoremen. Instead, he moved
rapidly about in widening circles,
making a stand only long enough to
slap Dempsey about with quick
short punches and then went right
away from there.
don't say that Sharkey is a
Tunney, but he certainly is not a
Dempsey. A statement to which
undoubtedly he will place his seal
and hand today.
He ought to know it. any.

the truth Is never for him. He
had the superior speed but he
refused to use it, being too
vain to back away even from
the human killer.
It didn't seem to matter that
Dempsey's legs were gone and that,
in three rounds or less, they must
fold up OF their own WEAKNESS. No
Sharkey was too arrogant for such
a finish as that. He must finish
Dempsey with his own hand and,
in such d program. it was inevitable
that one man or the other must 60

Dempsey and Tunney are set now
