UzCUDUN APPEARS
AS STR|BL|NG' FOE
Controversy Between Jacks
Handlers and Rickard
Has Become Acute.
BY HERBERT BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N YEw YORK, December ga
~ duel to the death between Tex
vi Rickard and Jack Sharkeys
4 board of strategy may be some
more fistic "hooey," but at least
It serves to enliven an otherwise sopo-
rife heavyweight industry.
AS the situation stand now, 1t appears
as though Young Stribling will battle
Pauline Uzcundun, the Basque wood
chopper. and not Sharkey, at Miami
Beach, Fla. early next year. Time was
when Sharkey was referred to as the
'Iouuacious Lithuanian" by facetious
sports writer's with flair for allitera-
tive effects. but at least the Boston sail
or never talked himself out Of fight
that would add 100000 or so to the
family bankroll. And that's just what
his manager or managers, as the case
may be-, seem to have done.
The controversy between Rickard and
Sharkey's handlers started when local
newspapers received kilograms purport-
ing to come from Sharkey and charg-
ing among other things that Rickard
was managing Stribling, Pauline and
Jack Dempsey. Further, the telegram
said that Sharkey. fearing he would not
get break" would refuse to fight
Stribling in the Georgian'S own sector
of the country.
Thus the kettle came to boil. Jimmy
Johnston. one-time 10 per cent manager
of Sharkey, shut off the heat when he
admitted that he had sent the kilograms
and signed Sharkey's name to them.
Apparently the incident was closed,
with every one happy but the news
paper men who fell" for the dodge.
Then Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's
manager, entered the arena with a new
set of charges which he leveled against
Tex from Boston in telephone CONVEX
sation TO newspaper men here.
Buckley charged Rickard had at
tempted to buy Sharkey's contract for
$50 900 last Summer; that he saw Rick
ard give Walter Friedman the money
to purchase an interest in Knute Han
up by saying the promoter was Turing
Sharkey into the South for the match
against Stribling so that the Boston
sailor would be knocked off,"
Buckley said he had turned down
Richards offer of $4,000 for the fight
and demanded $150.000. He will have
no further conversations with the pro-
noter unless newspaper men are pres
ent--at least, so he said.
After denying all these accusations,
Tex added that he was through fool
ing with Sharkey" and that Buckley's
fear of losing the decision to Stribling
was tacit admission that he did not
think the sailor could conquer the
husky Georgian. He added that, in
view of all that had happened, he prob
ably would match Pauline against
Stribling and let Sharkey out in the
cold.
All of which he may or may not do.

rounds at Madison Square Garden last

Maloney. who started his comeback
campaign by beating Johnny Risko a

to lead by good margin.

comeback in the last half of the fight
O'Kelly'S steady pecking with his left
hand tired Maloney and toward the
end the Boston boy quit trying to box
and slugged away in vain attempt for
