LIKELY TO FIGHT

Prediction.
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, March a-Jack Denp.
sey may not choose to fight in June, but
there is strong movement on foot TO
draft him later on in the Summer.
This. of course. would mean a scrap
with Gene Tunney In September.
While Tom Heeney figures to give
Gene rousiEs good workout. no ore
will give the New zealander better than
an outside chance TO win over the
champion.
Jack Sharkey Is going to try his slams
on John Risko on March r. Risko
made slashing good fight over Paolino
and won the decision, but John in turn
vas whipped by Heency Sharkey had
an easy time beating the Clevelander
two years ago. Granting that Risko
has improved some since that time, you
would have q hard Job trying to get
the fans TO think he will defeat Sharkey
Sharkey Is in Running.
The Boston fighter cannot be counted
out Of chance at the title unless MS
work Is so bad that he eliminates rim
self. The fans expect good deal from
Sharkey. Even though ne wins over
Risko. he will have 70 do IL in con-
vincing fashion. A feeling that Sailor
Jack is an in and outer would be con-
firmed unless ne does better than he did
in his first appearance since he vas
stopped by Dempsey last June.
Here IS where Dempsey fits into the
picture. 1t is hardly likely Dempsey
would consider fighting Tunney without
tune-up fight. Jack admitted the
seven rounds he worked against Sharkey
did him more good than two months n
the gymnasium. There is nothing like
actual ring work to bring fighter UP
to the mark and Dempsey knows that.
While Dempsey is in the East fighting
the law suits Jack Kearns Is bringing.
the famous figure Of the ring may listen
to few arguments. The chances are
that Jack will be convinced and re will
see both Dempsey and Tunney in acton
twice this year.
