TWO THOUGHTS" CLASH
IN BATTLE OF JACKS

DF TIIt NrHNtidtFN IEt$A.
Of fiStic thought will be at stake in
the Dempsey. Sharkey battle next
Thursday.
If Dempsey wins, it will he a
triumph for the mental worry school.
whose belief has been that the former
champion lost 10 Gene Tunuey last
September chiefly because he was
harassd by legal matters and not in
the proper frame of mind to fight at
his best
If Dempsey is defeated it will be
hailed as victory for the hollow
she'll theorists who asserted that he
lost his title because he had definitely
passed the peak of his fighting fern
and become a has-been.

SHARKEY TRAINS WRONG;
VIEW OF BENNY LEONARD

"when he goes IN there he fights diff.
ferentlv.' Buckley also told me that
he has a five-minute chat with
before entering the ring at
which time he gives him instructions
as to what TO do. Johnny added that
Jack always does exactly as he is
told. Nevertheless. | believe this is
bad practice. this habit of allowing
sparring partners to hit you at will
and laugh it off | do not approve Of
tearing in and fighting in training
when YOU know the way to win the
contest with Dempsey next Thursday
night is to stand up straight and box
carefully, with an eagle eye watching
that Dempsey does not strike that
man-killer blow Of his--a blow that
Dempsey still possesses for at least
the first three rounds.
I want to see Sharkey practicinG
boxing. clever boxing. the kind of
stuff he's going to use in the ring.
practice makes perfect. YOU know. and
SharkcT will have TO be letter perfect
in his boxing lines when he faces the
former titlehoIder.
Looks Great Physically.
When Sharkey was through work
ing | went back 10 his dressing room
as he was undressing. Physically he
looks great. lie weighs about 1876
pounds, and ! believe he had better
not work too hard or he might "a

and l just do this to get in shape.
From tomorrow on I am going to
box"
lie also said later. Don't fool your.
self about me tearing into Dempsey
| right off the bat, Dempsey may not
| be the Dempsey he was at Toledo but
| I know that guy can still sock ans

OF course, Jack was as c0cky as

| George Engel, who managed some
great fighters, and who [ believe
| knows as much about getting a fighter

Retired Lightweight Champion of the
World

NEW YORK. July III dropped
in on Jack Sharkey's training in
the Madison Square Garden Gym
nasium today. 1t was my first visit
there and | was amazed at its size
and the airiness Of il. The place
was damned with spectators and
they gave Sharkey quite an ovation
whom he appeared, clad in boxing
tights and a thin top shirt. Jack
was evidently we'll pleased with the
Applause, and he got right down 10
the work of boxing.
First he went two rounds with
Johnny Urban, then he took on Leo
Gates, the Mohawk Indian for a
round, and he finished with one
round of clowninG with Rocky Stone.
Now. in my opinion. Jack Sharkey
is training all wrong. Instead of
boxing up straight, using Il straight
left hand jab, which he can use with
great effect, he fights open-Widc
upen-throWiug all his boxing science
10 the winds.
Boxing His Best Asset.
Sharkey's best asset is boxing. lie
is. in my opinion. one Of the best
heavyweight boxers | have seen in
some time. The main fault / found
III MS WORK yesterday, ana also III
his previous fights, was that when
hit he is prone to forget his boxing
and tear right in wide open to fight
his opponent. This win he just the
thing Dempsey would have him do.
The eX-champion. though big and
cumbersome. even slow, still can
punch hard enough to knock down
am opponent If lie makes the con-
tact.
So if Sharkey boxes him as clevcrly
as he knows now Dempsey viii he
unable to reach him. But. as ! said,
Sharkey is showing too much of a
propensity TO tear in when hit. and if
he does this when he fights Dempsey,
he will be fighting in the style that
the former champion loves to meet

NEW YORK, September 27.-Thc
cotton market opened steady today at
an advance of to 16 points on a con-
tinuation of yesterdays buying, pro
NOTED by reports of cold rains in the
Southwest and relatively steady
Liverpool cables.
The weather map, however, showed
no actual killing frost i'll the belt,
making it appear as if the rains had
moderated the drop in temperatures
to some extent. While another squirt
OF buying came in on the prospect for
frost in northern Oklahoma should the
weather clear, it was supplied by real
izing or liquidation by some of yes
terday's buyers.
After selling up to 21.59, December
eased off to 21.3S, and active months
were within point or two of yester-
days closing quotations at the end OF
the first hour.
October notices, estimated at about
900 bales, were reported in circula
ton, and caused further liquidation or
switching into later deliveries, but
these early offerings were absorbed at
about recent differences, with ex
changes of October for December re-
ported at "a to 35 points.
Reactions from the early advance
carried the market off to about yes
terday's closing quotations. December
selling down to 21.3S during the middle
of the morning. The detailed weather
reports, showing considerable rainfall
in both Texas and Oklahoma, with
minimum temperatures ranging down
to 36 degrees at some points in Texas
and to "a degrees at one of the Okla
hOma stations led to q renewal of buy
ing later, however, and prices firmed
up during the middle of the day. At
midday December was selling around

advances of is to 22 points.

CORN HAS SETBACkS
AS WHEAT ADVANCES
Smaller Grain Values Relatively
Firm on Dry-Weather Reports
From Australia.

CHICAGO, September 27:Much
lower prices for corn resulted early
today from failure of frost to devel-
op in the corn belt. Wheat values
were relatively firm, owing largely
to continued dry weather in Australia
Starting at " to 5s cent decline,
corn later underwent a material fur
ther setback. Wheat opened a off

all round. Oats were easy. Provisions
tended downward.
Emphasizing the latest escape of
the bulk of the corn crop from
threatened damage by frost, advices
were at hand today from field observ-
ers in Minnesota saying corn is mostly
safer over considerable section of
the State and that fully 80 per cent
is good hard corn. A leading expert
telegraphing from Olivia, Mimi, said
frost could do no more damage in that
section as husks are generally dry
and corn is of good quality.
