ed the Austrian bit, and he went on
! the defensive Sharkey boxed about
him in dazzling fashion, pecking nice
ly with his left. He dropped right
on Risko's heart that hurt the dough-
nut maker at the bell.
Round Four
Sharkey met the pudgy Cleveland
! youth at his own game. They ham
mered rights and lefts to the short
ribs for almost half minute. Sharkey
was careful after that and danced
away. AS Risko followed, left and
/ right crashed full into Johnnys head
and nearly toppled him. Hs swayed
/ . bit on his legs as the Boston COB
belted his body in an effort to open the
way for finishing shot. When the
! opening came Sharkey missed full
right smash to the chin by inches and
| Risko fell inside, swapping them to the
body, safe for the time being. The
bell rang as they drnnmed each others
ribs.

of the situation as he boxed cleverly

bidding in his own style, suddenly
lined a left hook deep in Sharkey's
body. They snapped freely at close
range And Risko blinked dizzily as
rights and lefts suddenly crashed to
+ his chin from all sides. Sharkey met
the baker continually with straight
left jab and then crashed his right
resoundinely under the heart. Risko
was quite muSsed and grinning crook
edly at the bell.
Round Six
Sharkey made the pudgy Austrian
look flatfooted and clumsy as he bored
him prettily and twisted him around
at will in the clinches. Johnny man
fully dove for close quarters, pinned
the sailor man on the ropes and ham
mered both hands to the body. A short
hook opened cut over Sharkey's right
eye The referee warned Risko and
the crowd booed disapproval as Johnny
sprayed a backhand across the eye.
Sharkey tried to box carefully at long
range but Risko stormed in to fail
him about the body with short choppy
hooks Sharkey was staggered bit,
but he scared Risko away at the bell. 4
Round Seven
Sharkey was careful again. He lost
it, however, when Risko suddenly got
inside his guard and fired both hands
to the body Jack screwed up his
face, apparently in pain and complain
ed to the referee. The arbiter motion
ed them on and Risko flashed another
left handed volley into the Boston
boys head and body. Sharkey nailed
Johnny with a short right uppercut
coming in, but he could not keep Risko
from lathering his ribs with more
short hooks. The crowd booed deri-
sions as Snarkey held desperately, ur1-
der the storm of body punishment.
Round Eight
Sharkev tore in, left hook following
to the body, but Risko hustled him
right into corner for another dose of
body battering The battle was strict
ly a matter, OF body Bruising and
both fired their huskiest shots to the
ribs. Sharkey whipped two terrific
hooks into Risko's body as he cameNoff
the ropes. Johnny piled back, his
short arms whipping in failing arcs
to the head and body. Sharkey kept
both hands across his mid-section as
ne WGIlG UoCk W 1O145 4OAA5O AAA A4A0' 49,
flung gruelling right under RlSko'
heart at the gong.
Round Nine
Sharkey drilled over left hook TO
the chin and Risko promptly went
wild. He bowled the Boston boy into
the ropes, ripping and tearing at his
body with both hands. That looping
left hook whacked twice full on
Sharkey's chin as they struggled out
to the center of the ring. Then
Sharkey went to the body, his left and
right nesting solidly under Rlsko's
short ribs. Two full smashes hurt the
westerner and right uppercut shook
him coming in, but with one full LETT
smash to the chin he nearly knocked
Sharkey clean from the ring few sec
onds before the gong. The smash |
dizzied Sharkey and did more damage
to his injured right eye.
Round Ten
Risko failed into Sharkey at the
bell chased him into corner and
sunk him for a count of three with |
left and right to the body. Sharkey /
apparently slipped under the blows for
he came up unhurt and raped into
Risko with his arms plunging like pls-
tons for the stomach. Three times, as
Risko missed right swings, Sharkey
buried his left hook full in the pit OF
the rubberman's body. Sharkey dane
ed around, plenty of action in his
knees, while Risko hung on heavily,
stung by the body blows, until the
gong.
Round Eleven
Risko boxed little, didn't get and
drove his old favorite left hook back
into Sharkey's body. For the hun
dredth time, at least, they fell to-
gether and crunched short pokes to the
body. AS they drew their heads back !
blood .trickled down from bad cut
over Riskos right eye. Sharkey took
heart at the sight and ripped into
Risko's stomach with both hands. Risko I
appeared to be losing steam under
relentless and clever attack,
while the flow of blood from his dam
aged eye made him blink frequently
went to his corner fresh and
dancing at the bell.
Round Twelve
AS they fell in close at the, opening
