Hard-Hitting Sharkey Cts the
Official Decision Over
Youthful StribIing
10000 CHEER BATTLERS
Jack Dempsey Fails to 'Faw
Down and Go Boom as
Richards Successor

Miami Beach. Fla, Feb. 28.-{F-
The impetuous fling Of youth. II
seems, isn't enough. Young 6trib-
ling. idol Of the south and q veteran
Of pugilism despite his a years, had
his fling last night, but at the end OF
the glamorous melo1rama Of Miami
Beach the official decision went to
Jack sharkey. the hard hitting sailor
from down east.
In q ten-round match that was al
ternately fast and dull, hard fought
and close. Sharkey overcame q big
lead on points piled up by Stribling
In the first six rounds and won with
. strong finish throughout the last
four rounds.
The battering Bostonian had his
hand lifted aloft as the victor by Ref
cree Lou Magnolia Of New York, but
his margin Of victory was thin and
far from convincing. either to q ma
jority Of experts or to most Of the
crowd Of 10000 that was packed In
the picturesque setting Of Flamingo
park.
Magnolia. sole arbiter Of the battle,
did not hesitate to lift Sharkey's
hand. nor did his score sheet, show
ing six rounds for the Boston boxer,
three for Stribling, and one even
leave room for any doubt in his
mind. Ringside critics, although,
widely at variance In their opinion9[
were not far from unanimous III
agreement with the verdict. The ma
jority. in poll taken by the Associ-
ated Press, credited Sharkey with no
mare than . single rounds margin.
Strib Is Big Moment
Stribling. outweighed and outboXed,
but not outgamed, fought the more
spectacular fight. He furnished the
one big moment Of the drama in the
fourth round when he caught Shar-
key flush on the left temple with an
overland right that staggered the
Boston sailor and made his knees sag
momentarily. Then. as at other times,
however, the gallant Georgian was
unable to follow up his advantage.
Sharkey, In better fighting condi-
ton, was woefully slow, ineffective.
and wild at times, but he fought the
more businesslike fight. He won by
the colorless but nevertheless ef-
fective method Of pounding Strib-
ling'S body until 1t was blotc!1y red.
That punishing mode Of attack slowly
but certainly took the steam from
Stribling's own offensive.
