It tcok so long for Jack Silarkey to turn ip thoroughly convincing performance, such. as he did in stopping Tommy Loughran in three rounds, that the boys may be par doned for still wondering whether it was the real thing or just an- other of the occasional flashes of form by this Jekyll-Hyde of the heavyweights.
 Two years ago after he knocked cut Sllarkcy at the Yankee Sta dium, Jack Dempsey expressed the opinion that the loud-speaking sailor would be a champion one day.
 "All he needs is more experience, . said Dempsey. "He is tough customer and the best of the lot that is coming up."
 Just at present there is no one with a better claim to the title va cated by Gene Tunney than this came Sharkey. So far as obstacles to such recognition are concerned only the two foreign contenders Phil Scott of England, and Max SchmeIing of Germany can dispute this ecognition-unless it is the penchant of Mir. Sharkey himself to neutralize his best performances by those of distinct mediocrity.
 
 In 1927. his first big year, Sharkey lost to Dempsey after having the veteran former champion all but out in the first round of their memorable bout. A lot of experts thought Dempsey won that fight with a low blow but the facts were that Sharkey was so careless as to leave his chin unprotected while he turned to register protest with the referee.
 Sharkey was the logical con- tender" in 1928 but a draw with Heeney and the loss of decision to Risko in two colorless perform ances put the talkative tar out of the picture, costing him the chance for championship bout with Tun- ney.
 Early this year Sharkey was un- impressive again in outpointing Young Stribling in the Battle of Miami Beach Yet against Tom my Loughran he looked to have everything, the speed, aggressive ness and hitting power that marked his earlier successes against such men as Wills, Godfrey, Maloney and Delaney.
 Sharkey would not seem to have much to fear against the big, shuf- fling Briton, Scott, but he might find Schmeling, the rough and ready young German, as hard a nut to crack as Heeney or Risko Schmeling. at least, must be elim- mated before there will be any widespread recognition of Sharkey as champion.
 There are always the rumors that Jack Dempsey himself may be in-

duced to try another comeback, especially with. all the elements cf q natural involved in the pros poct of a return fight with Saar- key for the championship. But they should not be taken too seri- susly. The financial induccment might be strong but the one- tine Manassa Mauler, after three years nores of inactlon, hardly would rave anything left but tle cd glamour for 1880 come-1ac.-.

 NEW FOOTBALL LINEUP

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The latest hocus-pocus in coast football offense is being produced this sea- son by St. Mary's College. Coach Ed Slip" Madigan runs his plays off via three centers instead of from the lone pivot-man fashion.
