Jack Sharkev is the enigma of
the heavyweight division. A heavy
weight championship bout will be
held az Yankee Stadium next Thurs
day night and Jack Sharkey ought
to be in the corner opposite Gene
Tunncy instead Of Tom Hceuey.
The Boston Braggart has no one
to blame but himself that he is not
the heavyweight challenger. Twice
Sharkey his squandered opportuni-
ties to meet Tunncv for the title.
Last year his headstrong tactics led
to his knockout at the hands of
Jack Dempsey in the final elmina-
tion bout to determine Tunnev' 5 op-
poncnt.
Astounding in color, Sharkcy al
ways has been Tex Rickard s per
sonal choice for Tunney's opponent
since Gene won the title. Despite
the many times that SharkCv has
failed him Rickard still maintains
that he is the outstanding threat for
the championship.
Rickard attempted to maneuvcr
Sharkcy into the title shot this year
but Sharkcv sulkcd and bulked like
a cranky old woman and ruined his
chance. He would not condeseend
to open up and fight Heency in
their 10-round bout, holding and
cutting and refusing to give his
hest efforts. He fought only in
flashes against johnny Risko, los
ing a 15-round decision.
World Beater and Bum
Those two haphazard efforts cost
Sharkey a bout with Tunnev and
thousands of dollars. Sharkey re
gained himself in his next bout and
knocked ont Jack Delaney in 3 see
onds, catapulting himself back to
the top of the contenders, only too
late to get the big chance.
One night Sharkey is world
beater: the next night bum. If
Sharkey should happen to get his
title shot on one of his good nights,
new heavyweight champion is
quite likely to be crowned.
The following are Sharkev's three
best fights and in all of them he
resembled coming champion.
In 1926-Won on foul, 18th round
from Harry Wills.
In 1927-Knocked out Jim Ma
lcnev in five rounds.
in 192S-Knocked out Jack De
lanev in 73 seconds.
The following arc Sharkey's
three worst fights and in all of them
he looked as if he couldn T take it:
In 192Hknocked out by Romero
Roias in nine rounds.
In 1927-Knocked ont by Jack
Dempsey in seven rounds.
In l92S-Defeated by Johnny Ris-
ko in - rounds.
Sharkev has natural animosity
toward Tunney and openly predicts
he II knock out the champion if he
ever meets him. Sharkey boasted
he d knock out Maloncy and De
laney and he lived up to his word.
Tunnev says Sharkev is a ''cow-
ard at heart;' and Sharkey SAYS
Tunney is afraid to meet the logical
contender.
Tunney handpicked Heenev for
his opponent, Sharkev says, be
rause he knew he couldn I whip me
or Risko. This isn't the first time

Michigan Has
Card Filled
for Two Years
Wolverines Meet Purdue in
'29 and 80; Harvard
Also Scheduled.

BIZ Times Special
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. T.
Michigan, in announcing it's 1929
football schedule, departs from one
precedent in scheduling games the
last Saturday in September with no
games the first Saturday in Novem-
Der and continues the usual pre-
cedent of meeting some of the
strongest teams in the country.
Coach Wieman plans to start the
season one week earlier than has
been the custom for years with two
games Sept. % at Ann Arbor with
Albion college and Mt. Union col
lege as opponents.
Michigan State college is sched-
uled at Ann Arbor for Oct. 5, and
a week later the Wolverines Jour-
ney to Lafayette, Ind, for a game
with Purdue which will mark the
first football clash between the
schools since 1900. On Oct. 10,
Michigan entertains Ohio State at
Ann Arbor and the following week
the Maize and Blue team meets
Illinois at Urbana.
Then follows week of rest, made
necessary by a conference ruling, al
lowing only eight games q season.
but on Nov. 8, Michigan begins
series Of three games, the first with
Harvard at Ann Arbor, followed by
the Minnesota game at Minnesota.
The final game of the season, Nov.
%, will find Michigan playing Iowa
at Ann Arbor.
And yet, if Michigan'S 1919 sched-
ule can be considered difficult, the
1880 schedule is more so. 1t is now
complete and contains games with
six conference opponents, Harvard
and Michigan state college. The
home games are with M. s. c., Min
neSota, Illinois, Purdue and Chi
cago. Foreign contests are with
Ohio, Harvard and Iowa.

Mix Tuesday in
Legion Features

For next Tuesday nights legion
boxing show, four fighters have been
engaged to perform in a double
windup of two ten-round matches,
and when Major Greene announced
from the Armory ring Tuesday night
that Tracy Cox and Bobby Allen
would meet in one of the features,
with Tut Seymour of New Orleans
clashing with Norman Brown of
Chicago, in the other, there was a
good response from the customers.
Allen and Cox met two weeks ago in
a fast eight-rounder, which Coke
took by slight margin. Early in
this contest Allen had one of his
glims closed, but despite this break,
made real fight of it.
Norman Brown crashed into the
favor of the Armory crowd recently
when he knocked out Cecil Hurt in
three rounds. Browns opponent
next Tuesday, Tut Seymour of New
Orleans, is highly rated in data
forwarded to the legion by his man
ager. Wins over Farmer Joe Coop
er. Armand Sheckels, Basil Galinio,
Billy Algers and others are recorded.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. If Ed

GiIfiIIan May Get Job
Jim Peterson, who played center
and guard on the freshman team
of last season, has been alternating
on the first team with John Bonni-
well, who saw action in several
games as a substitute last season
Another entrant in the race for the
center post is Robert Iilfillan, who
last season was pivot man on the
junior varsity quintet. Gilhllan with
game experience may solve Nc
Nichols dilemma.
At the other positions Pennsyl-
vania is fortified better than in
some years. In Al Brodbeck, who
two years ago was a star on the
freshman team, McNichol has a
find. His work in practice gives
hope that he will prove a high Scor-
er from the floor. He is fast, agile
and has one of the best basket eyes
in the squad. Paired with Brod-
beck at forward will be the veteran
Ed Lobby.
Guards Keep Berths
The guards, Schaaf and Lazar, are
fixtures. Both we're stars last

BILLY EVANS,

TXTHAT do you think of the deal
wv whereby the Chicago Cubs
acquired Hornsby? Since the cham
pion batsman of the National
League was sent from the Boston
Braves to the Chicago Cubs, in one
of the biggest trades of recent
years, that question has been put
to me by hundreds of baseball fans.
81 wish he was coming to Cleve-
land instead of Chicago" has been
my immediate reply.
HOWEVER. THAT ANSWER HAS NEVER
QUITE SATISFIED. WHILE 1T CON-
VEYED TO THEM MY OPINION. THAT
ANY MAJOR LEAGUE CLUB WOULD
MORE THAN WELCOME A PLAYER OF
THE CALDER OF HORNSBY, 1T DIDN'T
QUITE ANSWER THE POINT AT WHICH
MOST OF THE FANS WERE DRIVING, AS
TO HOW HORNSBY WOULD FIT INTO
THE CUB LINEUP.
u =
BECAUSE Hornsby, within as
ID many years, has been a mem
Der of four different major league
clubs. there seems to be the impress
sion in the minds of many fans that
he must be bad actor, hard to
handle. know Rogers Hornsby

never was there more erroneous
estimate of q players character or
temperament.
have always found HOrnsby
gentleman on and off the ball field.
In the heat of battle he is salts
fled only with victory, one of the
few remaining fighters, who figures
no game a good game unless it ends
in victory. The fighter, the player
with strong convictions, always
makes enemies.
THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO
WONDER HOW HoRNSBY WILL FIT IN
TO THE WAYS OF MANAGER MCCARTHY
OF THE CHICAGO CUBS. APPARENTLY
THERE ARE SOME FANS WHO FEAR
THE TWO WILL CLASH AS TO AUTHOR
Try. I DOUBT IF ANYTHING COULD BE
FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 1T
WOULDN'T SURPRISE Me AT ALL IF
THE PUNCH ADDED BY HORNSBY MADE
THE CUBS A MOST DANGEROUS CON-
TENDER.
INSTEAD of HornSby claShing
i with Manager Joe Mccarthy, I
look for the two to work together
perfectly. There is no question as
to the ability of Mccarthy as
leader of players. He has demon
strated his ability in the majors and
the minors. Teams managed by
Joe Mccarthy are always interest
i'm, because they are in there fight
ing, and usually in the thick OF the
pennant struggle.
I feel that HOrnsby will relish
playing under so capable and ag-
xresSive a leader and do his ut
most to add further laurelS to
the many now held by Joe Nc
Carthy.
Il
REGARD THE DEAL THE CUBS MADE
FOR HORNSBY A REAL TEN-STR1KE.
TAKE IT FROM ME. I COULD IMAGINE
NOTHING MORE PLEASING THAN TO BE
ABLE TO ADD A ROGERS HORNSBY TO
THE ROSTER OF THE CLEVELAND CLUB.
