was the sentimental favorite and
Sharkey the professional favorite
in the Back Bay but the writer
rather looks for the odds, which

Tar along the trail-to the title and
years beyond it-but trails end is
inevitable. And so he finally lost
to a younger and better man.
The trail is only beginning
for Sharkey and MalOney, but
IL may be that either or both
of them will go as far as John
and certain it is that they will
make money undreamed of in

Sharkey will get it. Sharkey Is
the stand.out. The better man as
proved by the two decisions out Of
three he took over Maloney in
previous fights and the fact that,
in the last of these, he seemed
to have solved Maloney's short
arm style by the simple expedient
OF eternally crowding him.
Sharkey's confidence too, is
impressive, although during re-
cent days he has Overdone the
thing and seems to be taking
too much for granted.
The cut on Sharkey's eyelid may
play its part also. Sharkey doesn't
bleed easily on the surface of his
body and head, but an eye is an

better. 1t will bleed if sufficiently
encouraged and have seen many

However, the chances are good
that this one will go the limit, and
that Sharkey's speed and left hand
will pile up the majority of points.

pick a winner and know exactly
why he did it. There won't be
more than IL pounds between
them, with Sharkey weighing
around 100 and Maloney about 202,

The story Of the pennant races is
