NEW YORK, March 12.-All
Jack Sharkcy of Boston has to do to
get himself a fight with Gene Tun-
ncv this summer is TO knockout
Johnny Risko of Cleveland III 10
rounds or less, in Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Betting commissioners think so
well of Sharkey S chances that they
are betting l3 to ) on the Bostonian
to win and even money that he stops
Risko before the final bell.
Risko, who was baking bread five
years ago, has ruined more than one
heavyweight S championship aspir-
ations and it may fall TO the lot of
the pudgy Clcvelander to eliminate
Sharkey from the heavyweight pict-
uIe.
Up to his old boasting and brag-
ging again, Sharkcy may be ready
to fight the battle of his life to-
night as he says, but he is going to
have to come back quite a ways
from the form he displayed against
Tom HceneY recently.
q m ready this time Jack
growls. 81 II beat this bum and then
give me Tunncy."
In his training here, Sharkcy ap.
pears in magnificent shape and
looked every inch the challenger for
the world 5 heavyweight title.
\ defeat for Sharkcy would upset
"ll the best laid plans of Tex Rick
ard and unless Jack Dempsey de
cides to return to the ring Tex might
have difficulty promoting one title
bout this year, much less the two

DEVOTION OF WIFE CHANGED TREND
OF WISCONSIN POLITICAL SITUATION
Walter j. KOhler, GubernatOr-
ial Candidate, Owes Posi-
ton to Mate

Milwaukee, Oct. 9.-(AP)-A
woman's tribute to. her husband
launched Walter J. Kohler, Million
aire manufacturer, into politics. and
enabled him in his first contest to
defeat politicians previously invul-
nerable in state elections.
Kohler. conservative republican
candidate for governor, opposed by
the La Toilette forces, and q fac
ton of that group that had followed
Governor Fred Zimmerman off the
progressive reservation, won the
nomination for the governorship.
He is opposed by Albert G. Schmen-
deman, mayor Of Madison.
Chance and his wife's devotion
opened political doors to Kohler,
who had spent most Of his Sd years
in business. One Of four men NOM
mated by conservative republicans
to seek posts of delegates at large
to the national convention died. The
first door swung back for Kohler,
who knew little about the practical
ity Of what happened in the arena
where popular elections were held.
But the manufacturers wealth
was . handicap, members Of the
executive committee thought, in
considering him for a place on the
delegation. The kohlers attended
the executive session. The manu-
facturer's name was about to be
abandoned when his wife, companion
Of % years, told Of his sincerity,
devotion and worth. Her own sim
certify opened the second door, and
Kohler was in the political arena.
He ran 50 well in the election to
name delegates, finishing second to
Senator La Toilette, that the con-
servatives centered upon him for
the governorship.
Schmendeman is 81 years old. He
IS an insurance man. During the
Wilson administration he was min
lister to Norway.

STATE AUDITOR
OFFICE LARGER
John Steen Wins Long Strug-
gle to Get More Office
Space in Capitol

After Z long hard battle State
Auditor John Steen is going to have
more office room.
In recent years the struggle for
adequate office space among the
various departments at the capitol
has amounted almost to a contest.
The state board Of administration.
which operates the building, has
not infrequentl,, had requests to
take part Of the space assigned to
one office and give it to some other
department. The official whose
space would be reduced has invar-
iably protested that he, too, was
crowded.
Removal Of some offices from the
capitol to the Bank Of North Da-
kota building has given little relief.
Stems office. to. which has been
assigned additional work in the last
few years, has been especially
crowded-but the additional space
i not beine taken from any other
office. One end Of the Railways on
the main floor Of the building is
being partitioned of and will give
the auditor IN additional room about
30 by 20 feet IN dimensions in which
Stsen hopes TO place five or more Of
his clerks.
