FARRELL PICKS DEMPSEY BUT
IS INCLINED TO HEDGE SOME

pected to win in three rounds by n
] knockout but if the fight went the
limit he was sure to win the de-
cision in 15 rounds.
Yesterday afternoon, after Shar-
key had gone through rundown
and some gym exercises in Tex Rick
ard s Garden, he said he was going
to win just as soon as he could
punch his way through to it.
But Johnny Buckley, his manager,
warned "we re betting that we win
. in eight rounds and we're betting
all the money we have that Jack
viii not be on the floor once dur
ing the fight. .
Bucklcy's last minute statement
that Sharkev was sude to win in
eight rounds was taken to mean
that Sharkev was sure to win in
with Dempsey and that he would
rot be reckless enough to step out
and punch with him.
The betting odds had Sharkey a
nine to five favorite ON the theory
that he would go out against Demp-
sev as he did against Maloney and
use his boxing odds against him.
But Sharkey is so cocky that the
smart bctters feared he would go
out and start to trade punches with
the former champion.
Dempsey Has Punch
All the experts figure that If
Sharkcv goes out to swap punches
with Dempsey he will be sure to
lose. Because Dempsey is on record
with Il punch that can knock out
any opponent in one swing, and
Sharkcy never has stopped one of his
opponents with one punch.
In his training camp at Saratoga
Dempsey looked as we'll or better
than he did at Atlantic City and
ho assured all his newspaper friends
that he was ready for the best fight
of his life.
The stories carried about Dcmp-
scv'S left arm wore terribly cXag-
gcratcd. There is nothing wrong
with Dempsey left arm, his heart,
or his legs.
| think Jack SharkPy is so cockY
be will 90 out to swing punches with
Dempsey from the first round, and
that if he does that he will be in
greater danger of being knocked
out.
Sharkcv is a good boxer, however,
and If he goes out to fight along
tie lines his manager, Johnny
Eucklcy, intnuated, he can win.
Sharkcv has one of the best LETT
hands that any heavyweight has in
.the profession today. He murdered
Jim Maloncy with it when he work r.
cd methodicallv on the right eye
and then on the left eye, and re
duced him to such helpless condit-
ion that hc didn't have enough
strength to raise his hands against
Sharkcys right uppercut.
But Sharkcy is so confident and
50 cocky that he may 90 out and
swap punches with Dempsey, and
ii he does, he hasn ( Il chance.
Sharkey has only been fighting
since 1921, and we do not believe
that in such a short time he has
picked up enough experience to on
ablc him to go out and fight against
former champion like Jack Demp-

SEATTLE. Aug. 26. - B. N.

In an interview, Hicks said ::

is very significant that just prior
