SHARKEY WILL
GET CHANCE TO
PROVE HIMSELF
Question of BOstOnian's
Courage to Be Settled
Tomorrow Night.
BY FRANK GETTY y
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Circum-
stance has made Jack Sharkey al
most as much of an enigma as was
Jack Dempsey on the occasion of
the cx-champion 5 attempted come
back.
The Bostonian, of course, lacks
Dcmpscy's prestige, popularity and
punch, but circumstance has made
him the outstanding figure in the
most important heavyweight bout of
the indoor season, and right fans
everywhere want to know what
sharkey proposes and is able to do
about it.
Accordingly, Sharkcy was sum
moned today to appear before the
New York state athletic commission
and submit to physical examination
ty one of the board s physicians.
The question of whether the Lith-
uanian is fit to fight having been
definitely answered, the question of
whether he is able to defeat Tom
Hceney Of New Zealand will be set
tied Friday night.
If Sharkcy $ recent retiecncc CON
cerning his condition had not ere
ated an air of uncertainty in the
minds of fight fans tomorrow
night g bout would not recall so
strongly that in which Jack Demp-
sey came back at Yankee stadium
last summer. Then, as now, how
ever, the doubt existed as to the
faVoritp' < condition.
1t is exceedingly hard, even for
the ablest critics TO judge fight
er s capabilities by what they see
during his training. Accordingly,
little was learned from what was
seen of Sharkey during his workouts
at Newton, Mass. Fight fans, how
ever, wiH be satisfied if Dir. Walker
Of the state athletic commission, is
satisfied that ShaEkey is in shape
to fight.
1t is notstonlv a question of an
injured hand. That has healed. 1t
is rather a question of Sharkcy's S
guts, literally and figuratively
speaking.
Personally / do not believe that
Jack Dempsey 5 body blows, dcliy-
cred in the memorable fight in
which he knocked out Sharkey last
July. were of sufficient force to rem
der n fighter useless in the future.

DISSATISFIED ON
HORNSBY TRADE
BY GEORGE KIRxsEY

(Un,ted press stan correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The rea-
son why the New Yorl; Giants trad

eest stars in baseball to the Boston

go DOWN in sport history rs one of
the game 5 unsolvablc mysteries.
Moro pcpieXcd today than ever
over the transfer of Il 100000 star
drawing $4,000 4 season to a sec
ond division club for two compare
tive unknowns, the baseball world
has found 10 logical answer to why
the Giants captain was railroaded.
The fans, especially the rabid
Giant rootcrs, want to know why
Hornsby was traded.
Telephone calls at the downtown
offices Of the Giants became so in
sStcnt that President Charles A.
StQneham was forced to issue a sup
Elementary statement in which he
said that Hornshy was traded "in
order to avoid any future conflicts
in the management of the club and
fer no other reason.
Eut baseball fans accepted this
explanation lightly. TheF point out
that il was John McGraw himself
who selected Ilornsby to lead the
Giants as manager on three differ
ert occasions last season and that
llornsby acquitted himself well
onoogb to draw public praise from
McGraU.
Behind this was the rumor that
MeGlaw did not want Iornsby
traded ana that the ownership of
the Giants was threatened unless
Horusby WAS disposed Of.
before the deal was announced,
NcGraw found it convenient to slip
away quietly, board train for
Florida, and leave President Stone
ham and Secretary Tierney to cx-
lain all about the trade. So far
they haven t. done so to the salts
faction of a million or so baseball
fans.
