THAT SHARKEY BOUT

IT'S all over now. The New York
L boxing commission will not take
any action relative to the seventy
three second knockout of Jack De-
laney by Jack Sharkey the other
evening. The French-Canadian was
said to have shirked training for the
bout and interspersed much golf
with his training routine.
Chairman James A. Farley of the
New York mitt 'commish" started
to say some things to the sport
scribes and mentioned a probe.
Later, James changed his mind and
denied that he had asserted that a
probe had been ordered.

THE HURRY BUGGIES
THOSE fans who want speed,
4 speed and more speed have
their eyes pinned on the activities
of the local brick motor oval, the
two-and-one-half mile dish around
which thirty-three of the fastest
speed creations in the world will vie
for the highest honor in automobile
speed on Decoration day.
1t is an open race this year and
every car which lines up at the bar
rier will have an even chance to be
the first to be signalled with check
cred flag, symbolic of victory.
The race promises to have more
local interest than has been evinced
for some years. Seven Indianapolis
built automobiles, Stutz, Marmon
and Duesenberg, among others built
locally, are represented, and 1t
promises to be one merry chase.

HOUSTON, June 25.-Mrs. Jesse
Nicholson, of Maryland, president of
the Women's Democratic Enforce
ment League, is to be placed in NOM
nation for Vice President of the
United States, according to plans
being made by dry organizations
here.
She will be backed by the
w. G. T. u, Salvation Army and
other dry groups, her sponsors say.
Fighting Mollie," they call her, and
the women believe she would add
strength to any ticket.
Mrs. Nicholson, however, says she
would accept the place only if the
head of the ticket were also a dry,
and if the Democratic platform had
dry plank.
Plans for launching Mrs. Nichol-
sons boom will be made at break
fast to be given by Democratic wo-
men of Houston early next week.
No woman has previously been
seriously advanced as a candidate
for such high Office.

way in life, he began to think in
the form of laughs. Not his own
laughs all together but rather the
broad idea of what makes the other
fellow laugh and yet not merely
laugh at a fat guy. Years have
passed since I have seen Fat
Perkins on the streets Of Terre
Haute. Only twenty-four or thirty
hours ago, as write this, I was in
Terre Haute, over the very streets
that produced Johnny Perkins. And
when I went into the Indiana
Theater on its first. birthday ami
versary yesterday, was anxious to
see how Perkins had grown into an
entertainer. He is first equipped,
as 1 noticed with that overload Of
flesh that makes one want to know
a fat guy. But he does not rely
upon weight. He has a brain. He
uses it. He cooperates with Charlie
Davis on this theater birthday
occasion that makes one marvel at
the way that both fit into each
others fun.
There is nothing strained here,
but rather a natural outpouring OF
talent. Perkins develops his first
song number into making the au-
dience actually wanting him to sing.
He takes his own time in becoming
serious" after his comedy attempts
and he wins at that, He brings
home the lesson that many a fellow
is missing the beauty as well as the
lesson of life by not being con-
tent with his own backyard. Per-
kins has an unusual contact, or
rather a method, with his audi
ence. He can be personal one min
ute and yet at the very next sec
ond swing his audience into his own
serious way of putting a lesson over
in song. I personally have not
talked with Perkins for years. He
has developed into comedian with
a purpose. He is not vulgar. He
knows how to deliver lines, both
spoken and in song.
The idea running through his re-
vue this week at the Indiana is
youth. It starts off with an or
chestra, I take it, made up OF new
college players from California. This
gang prances and do the nut stun
while delivering what they call
music. Then California quartet is
brought on. They have a certain
harmony quality which lands them
solid.
Davis and his orchestra develop
