The Dempsey who faced Sharkev

he tried. He was told by both Jimmy

Oh, Sharkey knew what to do, but
he was too Cocky TO do it. He found
in the first round that he could swan
punches with Dempsey. or at least
he thought he could. and he elected
TO show the public that what they
thought of Jack Sharkey-that he
couldn't go in and outslug Dempsey

And SO, against all advices. against

! ] can find No fault with ShsrkcN's
work in the frs round. Nor can one
find anything particularly wrong with

he didn't stand OF ana box at LONG
range.
know Nnu're going Ia say bemr-
soy wouldn't let him. SharkcN showed
himself to he faster than Dempsey.
and he could have circlcd about the
ring. This would have prevented
Dempsey from getting in close to him
in these presiStent attacks and pound
ing the stomach. We are not con-
ccrned with whether the blows were
low ar high. Tho fact is that Sharkey
was hciug hit. and hit continually. in
the body, and rarely did he Chanec
his Ntvle so as to avoid these miNupS.
It was here that his overwhelming
conCcit contributed To his downfall
He had sampled some of Dempsey
blows. and they did not hurt him. tie
couldn't he hurt. He could take these
w9liops, But he didn't realize what
had pointed out In one OF my afnCles
before the hattle-that all punches
hurt. even though YOU don't actually
feel them during the heat of battle,
They hurt because they take Just
bit out of YOU, rob YOU Of nit OF
stamina. of resisting power, every
time they land.
Had to Learn for Himself.
Sharkey has been shown. He. as
said. is like the youngster. You can
tell a boy auything-he never profits
nv the experience Of is elders. lie
must learn for himself.
Now Sharkey has learned for hlm'
self. This thing Thursday night VIII
do him a world of good. 1t will teach
him bit of caution. 1t will make him
use the boxing ability that he un-
doubtedly has. for he showed some OF
it in the Maloney bout. He is young.
and it were better for him to get this
setback now and come on. than to get
it when he was right at the top. For
the fall would be greater then.
He has gotten his whipping for his
fault. The final blow, the left to the
chin. came because Sharkey resorted
to that terrible fault-he dropped his
hands at his sides. True. he was
starting to talk to the referee, but If
he had kept his hands up, the blow
couldn't have landed.
Now I think he will realize the i'm
portance of protecting himself at all
times" And. learn to Side-step, Jack!

As TO the knockout. there ran b.
no question that it came, not from n
foul punch. but from left hook to
the jaw while Sharkey was turning
his head TO the referee, presumably
to complain that Dempsey was not
keeping 'cm up.
1t may have been that loss of vital
ity caused by the alleged low blows
made Sharkey ripe. as the ring say
ing goes, for the clip he received on
the chin. And. on the other hand. the
wholesome Furnishing in the region
of thu iAidriff sustained by Sharkey
throu- huut the battle may just as
we'll have increased his susceptibility

Bad Look Given TO Fight.
\ bad look was impaired to the
fight by the influx of Dempsey money
st the last moment. while from the
outset the patent fact that Dempsey
Tunney battle next September would
outdraw 1uEney-Sharkey fight for
the championship by million odd dol
lars had given birth to a suspicion,
otherwise unwarrantable, that the
fight was Gin the bag"
So far as the writer's experience of
important ring battles has gone. the
better fighter never gets fouled. That
is TO say. he never claims Il foul and
does not get foully Knocked out. This
is not to say that i'll any fight low
blows are no. delivered. 1t is I'M
possible to prevent them in the thick
of rapid exchanges of wallops. But
fighters are pretty thoroughly pro-
tected. and nine ca ses out of ten IN Il
battle between high-class men it IS the
boxer looking 70 he hurt who makes
his appeals to the referee. The
writer docs not assert that Sharkey
was not injured by the alleged low
punches, even while calling attention
TO the fact that Jack in the past has
had a loquacious habit with referees.
Some say that Thursday night marked
one occasion when he talked too much.
Well at any rate the battle is over
and done with. and the minds of the
long suffering fans are turning to the
probable Dempsey-Tunney imbroglio
next September. Did Dempsey.
through his showing against Sharkey
demonstrate that lie will take ade-
quate revenge upon Gene Tunney
