K. 0. Over Burns
in First Round

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Sept. 27.-Harry Eb-
belts, New York, sent the middle
weight aspirations of Johnny Burns,
Chicago, glimmering here Thursday
night when he knocked out his OPP
ponent in the first round of a
sheduled ten-round bout. Burns was
able to last only one minute and
thirty seconds.
The National Boxing Association
recently named Ebbets, Burns, Ace
Hudkins and Rene Devos as logical
contenders for the crown of Mickey
Walker, declared vacant because Of
irregularities.
In the preliminaries Don Buchard,
Detroit lightweight, won six-round

Elevens Hit
Full Stride
Rivalry Tits in All Sections
Feature Weekend
Card.
BY DICK MILLER

No matter what part of the state
it is, high school football teams
find themselves with tougher oppo-
nents for this weekend. Most of
the teams going into their third
games of the year are in prime
condition and the time to tackle the
ancient rivals and stronger elevens
has arrived. There will be no alibis
for the outcomes.
1t is causing Muncie loss Of sleep
as they realize that their Bearcat
team is woefully weak this fall and
their ancient rival, the Trojans of
Newcastle are stronger than ever.
Even the Muncie rabids are con-
ceding Newcastle a victory Sat-
urday at Muncie. Newcastle last
won from Muncie in football back
in 1922.
Westerners Battle
In the west the talk is about
Jasonville- Wiley of Terre Haute tilt
Saturday. The miners are strong
and so are the Terre Haute boys
Their battle will be no more keenly
fought than the Gerstmeyer OF
Terre Haute and Marshall, ILL.,
struggle which will be played as the
other half of a double bill.
Clinton officials will probably be
unable to pack 'em in for the Gin
ton Shortridge Indianapolis game
at Clinton tonight. Clinton, un-
defeated in 1928, has now run
the string to twelve victories with
out defeat and some fear their I'M
broken string is in danger with
Shortridge. Garfield of Terre Haute
and Brazil should stage a hot scrap
with Brazil big favorite to win.
Away down south, Princeton is
confident Of victory, invading Evans
vile for a battle with Bosse, who
beat Mt. Vernon, $40, last week.
North Card Full
Seymour, who eked out a one
point win with Shelbyville last week
travels to Bloomington, while Shell
byville plays host to Connersville
Up in the far north several Of the
strong teams have early season
games against tougher tests.
Hammond and South Bend, with
the former holding an edge, clash
at the Bend. Elkhart, already re-
sembling a steam roller, will find
tougher, but probably not too tough
an opponent in La Porte. Michigan
City, the team that upset the north
end last week with a victory over
South Bend, takes on a powerful
Goshen team at Goshen.
Froebel, with lot of talent, viii,
tangle with Washington at East
Chicago, another tough one to pick
Two other Gary teams both engage
out-of-s state 60 opposition. Horace
Mann travels to play Libby at To-
ledo, O.. and Emerson entertains
Mooseheart, Ill, at Gary.
Two other northern games call for
Mishawaka at Benton Harbor and
Warsaw at Plymouth, while down
in the central part probably the big
gest games will be between the fast
flying Kokomo Bearcats and Marion
Giants at the new Kokomo stadium
dedication, and Tech and ElWood at
Elwood. Elwood claims it was their
second team that fell before Kirk
lin, 27-0, last Saturday.

End Comes in Third Round
With Tommy Out on
Feet.
JACK IN GRAND FORM
PhilIy Boxer Fades Quickly
After First Stanza.
BY FRANK GETTY

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-A right
hand punch to the jaw has ended
any and all contention as to who is
the outstanding American contender
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pioship.
Jack Sharkey of Boston is the
man.
In the presence of some $4,000
spectators at Yankee stadium Thurs
day night, Sharkey effectively dis
posed Of the pretentions Of Tommy
Loughran by knocking out the Phil
adelphian in the third round.
Unable to Raise Hands
Smashed to the floor by a right
hand in the third, Loughran reeled
to his feet at the count of four,
dazed. He was unable to face mis-
opponent who sprinted from a neu-
trail corner to deliver the finishing
punch. He could only stagger into
another corner against the ropes,
unable to turn or raise his hands.
The referee, Lou Magnolia, stepped
between Sharkey and his helpless
victim. He waved Loughran to his
corner and raised Jack Sharkey's
hand.
Supported by Ropes
The widely advertised fight for
the heavyweight championship Of
the United States was over, ended
with the covering figure of Lough-
ran holding frantically to the ropes
for support.
Loughran had claimed that upon
entering the heavyweight ranks ne
would finish Sharkey in short order
AS it turned out. he was finished
himself within eight minutes of his
entrance into the ring.
Jack Sharkey is one of the great
modern heavyweights, and it hap
pened that Thursday night he
fought his real fight. Against that
kind of a Sharkey, the game Phil
adelphian had no chance.
Sharkey OeLS BUSY
The first. round was about even,
since they spared and jabbed, and
at that kind of a game Loughran
can hold his own with any one.
Sharkey pnt over one singing
punch in the opener, however. The
second round served to demonstrate
Sharkey's superiority, since he
punched his man around the ring.
The third round spelled the finish.
It was over so quickly that the
Loughran adherents scarcely had
time to catch their breath. Sharkey
rushed Loughran across the ring.
Suddenly a right hand crossed to
Tommys face. Sharkey thought it
landed high, between the eyes;
Loughran doesn't yet know where it
landed.
IT Finished Tom
But the important thing is that
it finished Tommy Loughran. All
ideas the Philadelphia may have
entertained of being heavyweight
champion must have gone out with
the lights which twinkled when
Sharkey smacked him.
Sharkey drove home that one
right hand punch and then trotted
to his corner. He was in fight
ing mood, but he had sense enough
to obey the instructions of the
referee. If Jack Dempsey had en-
ployed similar sense two years ago
at Chicago. they might not have
been boxing for the American
heavyweight championship Thurs
Gay night.

Sharkey Really
Good When He's
in Proper Mood

Retired Indicated Lightweight
Champion.
(Written for the United Press

CWritten for the United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Jack
Sharkey proved he is the greatest
fighter since Jack Dempsey when he
knocked out Tommy Loughra1. and
he should be recognized as heavy
weight champion of the world. He
knocked the cleverest boxer in the
ring stiff with one punch.
AS I predicted, Sharkey Is as
great fighter as he wants to be.
He went into the ring with his mind
made up to give everything he had.
If Sharkey doesn't get out of con-
troll now and lose his head, he is
going to make all the people who
have been criticizing him take back
few things.

victories in eight games.
During the middle of the season,
Ehnke issued an ultimatum that
he couldn't pitch without at least
one weeks rest. That made
him a rather costly asset. E.
Mack picked his spots and
Ehmke did good work. Asked
to work with only a three days
rest, Ehnke kicked over the
traces and it is said his suspen-
sion followed as result.
Pitched a few good games after
his suspension was lifted. q.
One of the few pitchers in the
