is an old-fashioned fighting undercur-

days when the Pittsburghs sharpened
their spikes for Cleveland and the boys
laid in their best supply Of brick bats

There's the best kind of shindy de-

ney Risko. also arranged by Tex
Rickard to build up Summer oppo-
nent for Gene Tunney.
When Sharkey defeated George God
frey and cut Harry Wills into ribbons
he was the most-talked-of young heavy
weight in the game. His Knockout Of
Jim Maloney boosted his stock sky
high Things that happened after
ward took some of the color out OF
those feats.
Wills was knocked out by Pauline
Maloney was stopped in round each
by George Godfrey and Tom Heeney.
Then Jack took on Mike McTigue. The
record books show that Sharkey scored
a technical knockout in the eleventh
round. but the fight did him much
more harm than good. Old Mike out
boxed him the earlier part of the fight.
and If it had been scheduled for only
10 rounds. he would certainly have won
the decision. Only the misfortune of
cutting an artery in his cheek on a
broken bit Of bridge work prevented
McTigue from going the limit.
Then Sharkey fought Dempsey last
July. He was stopped by Dempsey's
terrific body punching, and though he
said he was fouled, he had no one but
himself to blame for losing. Jack
wasn't even shadow of himself and
was on the edge Of knockout early in
the fight. But the Boston sailor fought
wildly. and without judgment, and
gave Dempsey the opening he was look
ing for.
Sharkey didn't win back any Of his

He kept throwing his right hand. lay
