RING BECKONS, BUT
JACK IS UNCERTAIN
Wants to Fight Again, Yet
Doubts Ability to Get
Back Into Form.
BY ALAN J. GOULD,
Associated Press SnnrfS Editor

NJ IAMI BEACH, Fla, March l.
N The main mystery in the box
N ing business, if not the success
of the whole heavyweight pro-
gram for 1929. still revolVes
around the dynamic figure OF the one
time man mauler, Jack Dempsey.
The fight crowd that came here for
the big show left apparently more m
tereSted in whether Dempsey Will flghc
again this year than in what will hap
pen next to either of the principals or
the melodrama of Miami Beach.
Dempsey would like to fight once
more; first. because he loves the cutting
game: second, because it would afford
him a chance to regain heavyweight
championship recognition and retire at
least 100000 richer. Jack admits all
this. The reasons are potent in favor
of comeback. but it is a question
whether they will be sufficient.
IT don't know honestly, what / will
DO" he said. I've been turning things
over in my mind of course. It's hard
to keep away from the game. It gets
me. Every time l sit at the ringside
feel like climbing up in. l catch myself
bobbing and shifting unconsciously as
] watch a fight. It's in my blood, l
guess.
en- any more. I'm not getting any faster
or more rugged doing a promoters
work. 1t is increasingly hard after long
absences from the ring to regain fight
ing condition. 1t will be two years this
September since 1 fought Tunney the
last time In a total period of six years
] have had only three boutS-two with
Tunney and one with Sharkey.
Even if it has meant lot of money
a total of only 81 rounds of actual
fighting in six years is hardly enough
to enable me to say I have kept in ac-
tive trim"
Without exchanging blow and after
lodging only one stray shot. Dempsey
collects Approximately $4,000 for his
part in the promotion OF the Miami
Beach bout. Whether or not his con-
nection with the Madison Square Car
den Corporation is resumed. he may
figure that this unexpected venture
opens up new as well as profitable
field of action. All things considered it
may appeal to him more than running
the risk of possible injury in the ring.
After both Tunney bouts. Dempsey was
cut seriously and bruised about the
eyes. He was under treatment of doc
tors for considerable time.
when I get back to New York and
nave Cnance 10 CONSIDER all angles OF
the situation. will let you know what
I'm going to do-fight or remain a
business man." Dempsey concluded.
If Dempsey does not return to the
ring. it is entirely conceivable that the
final test for No. ranking position
among the heavyweights for 1929 may
Involve two foreign sluggers-youthful
Max Schmeling of Germany, who
punched his way to fame with a knock
out victory over Johnny Risko, and the
Acrobatic Basque, Pauline Uzudun.
Pauline is confident he can take"
6harkey If they meet. as appears likely,
at the Yankee Stadium in June.
Schmeling has passed all tests with
honors so far.
!. A Notwithstanding match would
lack nothing in color and interest even
though it would be embarrassing evil
dence Of lack of llomebred talent for
the main fistic argument.

HEENEY TO TACKLE
MALONEY TONIGHT
Returns to Ring in Boston
for First Time Since
Losing to Tunney.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ OSTON. March Tom Heeney
- of New Zealand returns to the
ring here tonight after a lay
- off since his defeat by Gene
Tunney in last Julys title bout.
He will face Jim Maloney the Boston
heavyweight, whom he knocked out in
the first round of fight Is months
ago.
Maloney has blazed successful come
back since then and he was confident
today that he would dispose of the New
Zealander in short order.
Although Heeney looked fit in spite
of his long vacation, Charlie Harvey
his manager, said he would have pre-
ferred to see the Hard Rock polish up
at the expense of two or three minor
battlers before tackling Maloney
Both fighters had a good deal to say
about what the match meant for each
of them. Harvey pointed out in Toms
behalf that if Heeney lost, at least two
profitable bouts for the man from down
under would have to be cancelled. Ma
loney expressed his anxiety to be back
among the championship contenders.

MUST Be HIT HARD
TO AROUSE SPIRIT
But Referee Holds Boston
Nan Good-StribIing Not
Given High Rating.
BY LOU MAGNOLIA.
Referee Sharkcy Striking Fight.

"A A IAMI BEACH. Fla. March IL
M have been asked to tell what 1
w think of the abilities Of Jack
1 L Sharkey and w L. Stribling as
! saw them i'll action WedneS-
day night
Sharkey is a good man, one of the
best. He has one fault, though, that
may cause him trouble 1t seems that
he must be stung-really hurt-before
he can get warmed up to the job before
him. Take the first few rounds OF the
fight. Stribling didn't have much the
worst of it. Then, in the fourth, w. l..
landed a terrific right flush to the jaw.
There isn't any doubt about Sharkey
being hurt. 1t jolted him right down
to his heels, and I guess he saw lot
of stars
From that moment on he fought
harder and was a much better per-
former. You can't question his fighting
spirit, but he should find a way of STIR
ring up his combative qualities without
being hurt.
1t seemed to me that Stribling was
overturned. He probably would be
better ringman if he laid off altogether
for the best part of the next year. The
would have burned out almost anybody
else. 1t seems to have burned out him
as we'll.
Not of Title Caliber.
From what 1 have seen Of sStribling I
don't think he ever will be a champion
In my estimation he fought a poorer
fight against Sharkcy than he did
against Tommy Loughran. His left
hand wasn't what it should have been,
considering the power that is behind it.
Probably the ncuritis that attacked him
several days before the fight had a lot
to do with the rather aimless poking
that he did with his Southpaw.
This fight in Miami Beach has part
ly clarified the heavyweight situation.
A few more such battles will set one
man above all the other contestants in
the division Gene Tunney vacated, and
we will again have recognized cham
pion of the world.
On his showing Jack Sharkey is GER
tainly entitled to as much recognition
as any one else. He is big and strong,
and against Stribling he boxed we'll.
Stribling isn't going to quit because
he was beaten by Sharkey. He has a
fine burst of speed, a great right hand
and lot Of stamina.
