But there isn't 50 much money left,
and the Chicago income Isn't what It
used to be. Extravaganza, graft pay

OF the huge bankroll.

The peculiar feature of this gathering
now at Miami Beach is that few seem
to expect any great thrills, but that
hasn't hindered the purchase of seats.
The idea is that as long as there will
be a show on display they might as well
take look at the matter. If the actors
are a bust, the scenic settings will still
remain above par. Wherever there are

will be as loud as ever. Many of them
go expecting the worst, but that doesn't
affect their vocal capacities when the

n IAMI BEACH. February 2S-
nH Jack Sharkey is picked to win
WI over Young Stribling when the
4 4 pair meet in the Battle of the
Everglades here tomorrow eve
ming.
After watching both men in their
training, the writer is not at all con-
WINGED. as so many experts seem to be.
that the fight will go the 10 rounds that
it is limited to.
Both men have concentrated on body
punches. Sharkey has specialized on a
sharp left hook TO the body and a right
uppercut to beat a left lead, while
Stribling has been perfecting a sweep
ing left hook to the body. Both men
have an idea that neither can take It
in the body. For that reason they have
been stressing hard raps to the body
All during training the gloves have
thudded at the bodies of the sparring
mates. The sparring partners have
SHOWN the effects appreciably. This ac-
counts tor the fact that both Jack and
w. l.. have had to change sparrine
partners every two rounds or so.
Crosse Helps Sharkey.
Johnny Crosse, the Mount Vernon
heavyweight. who is rated among the
best of the younger crop Of heavy
weights, has been drilling at full speed
with Sharkey. These settos have been
as good as, actual contests and have
done the Boston sailor a world of good

Deen right for all his fights. and, save
for rumor that his left arm is weary
ana sore, he Is fit and ready to give
his best.
Stribling's mental poise is all that
could be desired on the eve of the most
important contest of his career. The
same can be said of his opponent
Snarkey showed his impetuous, irritable
sell just before his final workout by
refusing to use the trunks Jack Dempsey
had ordered for him. Johnny BUCKLEY.
who IS mentor to Sharkey, laughed of
the gobs objections until finally the
nghter went into his workout keyed to
the battling point. He gave ample evi-
dence he is ready for the bell.
Sharkey weighed 1922 pounds for
his final weighing in and thinks he will
add another pound before the bell peals.
Both men are noted for their work at
long range. so that their concentration
on body punches may not show them I'D
to the pest advantage. But, of course.
IICiC ID piODdUlliIy lIldt Lney Will stand
OF and slug it out, as both are accus-
toned to do.
Magnolia Clever Referee.
There is no doubt but that both men
will have hard time trying to get
away with sneaky punches, as the
referee, Lou Magnolia is q conscientious
official who will not stand for fast ones.
But, on the other hand. Magnolia will
not let technicalities spoil the fight. so
that neither man will be able to sue
ceSsfully claim a foul unless seriously
hurt.

both men set to swap inside blows. pre-

Is something like that of Bobby
Jones. Bobby Jones made great start
as kid of a. In 1919. at the age of II,
he had reached the final round Of the

lie Hunter in 1921, Jess Sweetser in 1922
and Max Marston in 1928. 1t was at this
point that large part of the multitude
rose up and said that Bobby Jones would
never win a championship. He could
beat the palukas-but not the real peo-
pie. They were slightly wrong. He ran
up eight national championships be-
fore he sat down to rest. They forgot
that Jones was youngster, just getting
adjusted, when the others were taking
him.
