Critic Picks
Jack to Win
by Knockout
Getty Believes Sharkey viii
Put RiSko Away Mon
day Night.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, March 9.-Jack
Sharkey, splendidly trained at 100
pounds, should win by a Knockout
over Johnny Risko next Mondav
night. The Lithuanian has a rel
good fight somewhere in his system,
and there is no reason why he
should rot deliver it when he meets
the rotund Cleveland heavyweight.
Risko, after a period of compara~
tive inactivity, does not shape up
as Sharkeys equal in his New York
training. Slow of foot and fist with
only the indomitable grit of bull
dog to carry him through Johnny
should be comparatively easy for
Jack.
1t is true that Risko has been
knocked out but once during fair
ly active if brief career. and then it
was Chuck Virgins, of Indianapolis,
who delivered the coup de grace. 1t
is equally true that Sharkey'S
knockout record is not impressive.
Nevertheless, the Lithuanian, with
every advantage of size, speed, box
ing skill and backing, should be able
to stop the former Bakers boy
within the limit of fifteen rounds.
