NEAR FIGHT
|NOFF|CE

NEW YORK, May 21.-The big
heavyweight scrap between Jim
Maloney and Jack Sharkey at the
Yankee Stadium last night came
within an ace of being fought out
in the offices Of the boxing com.
mission yesterday afternoon when
the boxers appeared for the weigh
ing-in ceremonies.
Only the quick work Of Tommy
LOughran, Philadelphia light
heavyweight, prevented MalOney
from sailing into Sharlxey before
the officials and newspaper men
present.
While waiting their turn to be
examined by DIR. Walker, the COM
mission physician, the two contes-
tants occupied different corners of
the room. Sharkey, very boisterous
as usual. was chatting about some
thing or other with several friends.
In his cocksure manner he aimed
what Maloney interpreted as a wise
crack at the former Boston fish
monger.

ager, aside. Maloney started after
the Lithuanian with arms raised,
as though to take a poke at him.
Loughran, sensing trouble, quickly
blocked Jim's path ard, putting an
arm lock on the Irishman, stopped
him in his tracks.
MalOney struggled with
Loughran to take a sock at the
big POlack," as he called him.
Carroll. by this time, was also
in the center of the jam and,
together with LOughran, sue.
Ceeded in bringing quiet.
Though Sharkey had his back
turned to Shamus when the latter
made the first plunge toward him,
Jacks attention was attracted when
Loughran and Carroll bulled Shamus
out of the argument.
Let him come, let him come"
said Sharkey. IF he's looking for
little preliminary action now I'm
ready to give it to him. He can't
pull that grand-stand stuff on me
and get away with it."

was outclassed, given a boxing
lesson in left handing and head
slipping and, then when he was
well set, punching lesson in right
crosses.
The first round was the only
one that proved contest. They
mixed it merrily from bell to bell,
Maloney plying a left hook to the
head and Sharkey countering with
hard rights to the body. Toward
the close Of the round, Sharkey
opened a cut over Maloney's left
eye with two rights to that men,
Der, but still it was almost impos-
sible to call the winner at this
point without doing one man or
the other an injustice.
The second round opened auspi-
ciously for Maloney, who scored with
a series of lefts to the head. But
Sharkey was riding the punches, a
fact the crowd failed to compre-
bend. It was strictly a pro-Ma-
loney gathering and it thought it
was seeing its man win. But the
premature chant died down to q
whisper when Sharkey rolled away
from lead and countered heartily
with left and rights to the jaw.
MaIoney slipped in an upper
cut during the general excite
ment but Sharkey's reply was a
cracking right to the jaw as
James went back on his heels
and blinked.
A moment later, Sharkey claimed
foul and while he was Grating
at the referee, Maloney rushed in
and sloughed him plenty. This
made him so miffed that he car
ried the fight to Maloney right
down to the bell.
The referee pulled Sharkey's
tights down to start the third but
the gesture was meaningless as the
Lithuanian proceeded to left hand
his man all over the premises. To-
ward the end Of the session he
rolled away from a lead and coun-
tered with right hand to the body
that brought his opponent UP with
a jolt.
James was being pretty well left
handed through the first minute
of the fourth when he suddenly
|
ate play. Landing a left hook,
he rushed Sharkey all the way
across the ring to the ropes to
shoot lefts and rights at his chin,
But Jack came out Of it, shot four
more lefts to the chin without re-
turn and suddenly crossed a right
to the jaw.
That was the bell ringer. IL

Maloney had arisen from the last
Touchdown, game beyond belief, to
face a waiting foeman, rush blindly
toward him as soldiers sometimes
rush to the mouths of cannon and
fall sprawling in midring at
Sharkey's feet. utterly out.
The fight was over but possibly
a beautiful friendship was just be-
ginning. For as they toted away
all that was left of Jimmy Maloney,
Sharkey suddenly became man
possessed. Fighting madly In the
arms of his hammering seconds, he
broke loose by main strength and
rushed across the ring to lend a
hand to the paflbearers. And as
Maloney's deadened senses blinked
into consciousness a. minute later,
Sharkey was there to offer the
hand of one good fellow to another.
The dead past had buried its
dead. The man who was merCi-
less a few minutes before was
all mercy now.
And Jack Sharkey had been mer-
CHESS in cutting this fellow citizen
of Boston down to the degree of a
clustered, helpless apple woman.
But while he was doing it, Sharkey
also was beautiful to behold, a
boxer, a head slipper, a counter
puncher and all the attributes that
commend a man to those who like
to see another punched on the van
dyke.
Even more surprising was the
fact that Sharkey, supposed to be
an anaemic hitter, not only out.
stepped Maloney, but outslugged
him and that so-called punchless
right of his did all the execution,
It scored three knockdowns, all told
and the fourth went to Maloney,
exclusively and without intention.
That sprawl of his toward the man
who had made him what he was
probably had not been duplicated
for sheer courage on the field Of
sport.
