Smith Team Wins
With Anderson holding the Y.

which was made in the ninth in
ming, the Smith team had little
difficulty in romping away to an
IL to win in the game played on
Diamond No. 1. Although he was
wild, Anderson frightened up in the
pinches and held the opposition
scoreless until the seventh when
several misplays of his mates al
lowed the ~" team to break into
the scoring column.
Anderson issued II passes during
the game but it was his effective
pitching and the alright playing
of the Smith team that cut down
the chances Of the "Y" team to
cross the plate. The Smith infield
worked in harmony, getting all
balls hit to them and the runners
at first. Joseph, who was on the
mound for the losers. was touched
up plenty by the Smith crew.
The Smith batters hammered out
enough hits and scored enough runs
in the first inning to win the game.
Five runs were brought in without
the first out being chalked up.
Then Joseph bore down and held
the team safely until the seventh.
Smith started with singles by
Gostan and Kogelman. Hattings
made an error on Argosy's ground

The "Y" team scored its only run
in the seventh when Steinman and
Hattings walked. Carl Witham
smashed a hard grounder at Gosten
who let 1t get away from him.
Steinman had crossed the plate be-
fore the ball Gas recovered. Hat
tings was thrown out when he at

Kogelman furnished the hitting
OF the day when he made a homer
into left field. Lynch contributed a

The champion Washington team
went down to defeat on Diam nd
No. at the hands of the Nathan
Hale team, the score being Is to
10. A ninth inning rally wherein
the Washington batters got six
singles, five of them in succession,

snappy double play by the Nathan
Hale team killed Washington's
chances and chalked up the first
loss of the season against the team
that won the title last year.
Golas, pitching for the Nathan
Hale team, was easily the star of
the winning side. He held the pow
erful Washington team to six hits
in the first eight innings and al
though he weakened in the last
frame, he pulled through finally
with win.
Washington was without an eff
ficient battery Capodice who started
walked four men and hit another in
the first frame, which coupled with
a single. gave the Nathan Hale
team its start. Kaczynski relieved
him In the second, but he himself
went out like a light in the third
and Labicnic twirled for the rest
OF the game.

was going to field day at the ex-
pense of the Nathan Hale crew.

inning. Nathan Hale then tied he
count and Washington. through the
fine pitching Of Golas, was held
scoreless until the fifth when an
other run was scored.

(BY JACK SHARKEY)
CAS- told to Jimmy Powers)

I have been mistaken for every
thing from 4 Polack to a Mick, on
account of my name, 1 suppose. so
here is the straight dope on myself
as requested.
I come from Lithuanian stock.
My original name was Joseph Paul
Cukoschay. l was born in Bing-
hamton, n Y, on October &c, 1902.
My father, mother and sister still
live there. / live with Mrs. Sharkey
and our two children in Boston.
Just three years ago I came to
Boston as a sailor, making $3.50 a
year as wages, on the L. S. S. Den
Yer. At the present time, if I keep
on fighting, my manager tells me
can make 100000 in purses.
When I started boxing profession
ally I took the name, Jack Sharkey
I called myself Jack, after Jack
Dempsey, whom I have always con-
sidered one Of the greatest cham
pions the ring has ever known, and
the Sharkey end after Tom Sharkey
old-time heavyweight, who. like my
self, saw service in Uncle Sans
navy.
The name Jack Sharkey caught
Immediately 1t was so popular
with me that 7 petitioned success
fully the court in Boston to have it
made my legal name. So I shall be
Jack Sharkey legally as long as I
live.
1 spent my boyhood days with my
parents at Binghamton. 1t was my
mother who formed the code of
living that has enabled me to reach
the physical perfection that has
always listened to my mothers adj
vice because I know it is unselfish.
I consider my success her success.
When 7 was boxing with Wills my
mother made the trip from Bing-
hamton to New York SO that she
could be near me. She waited in
her room in an uptown hotel until
! hurried to her after the bout. And
when She held me in her arms and
found l was not marked, she sobbed
with emotion.
As a boy I attended school In
Finghamton, I completed the third
grade in the Oak street school and
then transferred to ST. Patrick
parochial school, where I was taught
by the good nuns,

go 10 work to get our household TO-
gether, so I went to work in a shoe
factory and tackled soles and as

When I was IA quit the shoe
