ALWAYS IN SHAPE,
| TOMMY CAREFREE
Mutual Hate Presages Real
Battle When Reavles
Clash Next Week.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

T ARvEY's' LAKE, Pa, septem-
Der l9.-An air, Of confidence
prevails In the camp Of Tom
Il Il my Loughran. Watching the
big fellow 60 through his PAGES,
the observer Is impressed by the care
free, confident manner of the former
light heavyweight champion, who is
billed to tackle Jack Sharkey next week
In New York City. Tommy's manager
even goes 50 far as TO predict knock
out for his charge.
Loughran has not done much of any
thing in the line Of hard training. He
really does not need much time to pre-
pare for any contest because of his
methodical way Of doing things It can
be said that Loughan is never out Of
shape and can pack his bag and step
into ring at any time without going
through a long training period.
Aware Of Hatred.
While Tommy tips the beam slightly
under the 190-pound notch, this does
not mean that he is packing on weight
Just to convince the public that he Is
hefty enough to compete among the
heavies. To do so would be ruinous.
A full week remains bsfore he &ill be
called upon to face Sharkey at Yankee
Stadium, and there Is plenty of time
for the polishing up process designed
to. bring him down to real fighting
weight.
Loughran is fully aware Of the fact
that Sharkey hates him and will do his
utmost to knock him out. Tommy Is
preparing for this by speeding up and
carrying on at fast pace, figuring that
after the tenth round Sharkey will be-
come winded and his punches will lose
their steam. That Is the plan Loughran
will follow. II he had excess weight
on his frame, his speed would suffer.
and that would defeat his pre-battle
plan. The Philadelphia will weigh

VUh DS AbOh CoOkA1os
All this talk about Tommy. standing
up and trading blows with Sharkey can
be taken with grain Of salt. An old
dog does not learn new tricks SO readily.
Loughran would be foolish to attempt
to be slam-bang fighter for this con-
test when he is a natural-born speed
ster and counter-puncher. II the fight
goes along to the eleventh or twelfth
round there is a possibility that Lough-
ran will toe the mark with Sharkey
and attempt knockout-for Sharkey's
dislike of Loughran Is reciprocated by
the Philadelphia fighter.
The work of Loughran to date pres
ages q fast boxing contest from tbs
start, with. the possibility that 1t will
wind up in a punching bee. One thing
Is sure-the fight will not be the bore
some affair that so many fans think 1t
will be.

put through signal drill.
The first signal listed for the referee
Is the military salute, which will signify
unnecessary roughness. It takes no lit
tie time for a recruit to give q snappy
salute that would satisfy Gen. Pershing,
consequently the referees should take
brief course at West Point In order to
perfect themselves in this signal.
The second signal is placing the
hands on the hips, which will signify
that one Of the teams is offside. Only
a good grand opera Carmen can do this
gracefully. The referees will require
some special instruction there.
The third signal, grasping one
wrist. will signify holding. Few
referees, excepting Yale's otncials,
will require any instruction IN this
one. The temptation for Yale OF.
fetal at a game involving his alma
Yale!" Is raised would be to hold
himself instinctively and gum up the
code. But 1t hardly Is probably that
Yale men will be ofdciating at Q Yale
game.
The fourth signal is more complicat-
ed. A pushing movement with the
hands with the arms hanging vertical
will mean that q side has been penal
ICED for pushing or helping the runner
with the ball. This Is q difncult del"
sartean feat Try 1t in your own gym
nasium. It requires freedom Of wrist
movement that could be acquired only
by some special exercise such as fencing
The NTH signal consists Of cross
ing the legs to indicate tripping or
clipping. This may be difficult for
referees lacking the proper sense OF
| balance. There always Is the danger
that a referee, attempting to cross
his legs hurriedly, but In dignlned
fashion, may trip himself up and
fall. That would throw the whole
scheme askew, for there Is no such
signal In the code as referee as
Stunning the horizontal position OF o
British heavyweight.
The sixth signal is the shifting OF
hands In the horizontal plane. Perhaps
the referee could learn to do this grace
fully with some elemental instruction
from Mr.. William Tilden, I'd, who in
furiated Q tennis gallery at Forest Hills
by making this same motion. But then
Mr.. Tilden has most eloquent hands
and might not be able to impart his
art to the average foot ball referee.
The NapOleonic Signal.
THE folding Of the arms, the seventh
i signal, will mean that one side has
declined a penalty. An official car
attain some dignity in this signal by
working out before q picture OF Napo.
leon Bonaparte, who usually Is pictured
with the arms folded.
The eighth signal, pushing the hand
forward from the shoulder with the
hands vertical, signifies interference
with the forward pass. This Is simple
Army setting-up exercise, and the most
simple referee should be able to gel
aw~v with 1t without spending any toe
mu h time in practice.
/ 1cha ninth siRnal waving The

hands behind the back, indicating
illegal forward pass, including the
bali touching an ineligible player,
seems like q stealthy gesture. Sons
of the referees may have some dim"
Guilty in conquering their self-con-
sciousneSs In making 1t.
Both arms extended over the head
will indicate that o score has been
made. Bringing the hands together over
the head from this position VIII indi-
cate a safety. Some exercise will be re:
CURED to make sure that the. referee
does not confuse these signals and not
clap his hands over his head IN appro-
baton until he Is certain that 1t Is Q
safety.
Placing the hand over the mouth
will indicate that the penalty Is In
flicted because q player failed TO re-
port. or that he communicated with
other players. This seems mixed. II
means that the penalty Is either Tor
reticence or gabbiness.
The twelfth signal. fingers touching
over the head with the arms forming O
zero, signifies foul by both teams. No
little practice will be needed to have the
referee form perfect zero, and II the
zero Is not perfect 1t Is bound to con-
fuse the spectators and others who Won
ger WIlhG u 4OOt U0AA 8UAAAC 40 sSAA 0SVN"
The Thirteenth Signal.
TT seems TO me that there should be q
L thirteenth signal. Even though all
the officials go through q rigid
course of training there is some chance
that they may In the heat of signaling
give the wrong signal, or q signal where
no signal is required.
There should be some gesture to indi-
cate that the wrong signal has been
given or that the signal is to be d!sre-
garded, Just as In close formation Army
drill they have the command, "As you
were!" a.s.... 49,.
A signal Of this nature should be
made more emphatic than any of the
others TO prevent utter confusion in
the communications Of the officials
to the spectators. I would suggest
that in this sort of an emergency
the ofiicial doing the communicating
should turn back flip or stand on
his head.
The code may work out all right, but
still insist that the of1lcials should
have their own training camp, and ct
the end of the signal practice season
should be run through their drill. It
would be too bad II some Of our most
dramatic foot ball games should be
ruined by incompetent signaling on the
part Of the officials.

USING THE AK

This Grover Whalen of New York.
the new police commissioner. gives
US the impression he Is out to get
the publicity II 1t takes dynamite to
do it. Much as we dislike speakeasies
that sell poison liquor, 1t is a ques-
ton whether Carrie Nation methods
are not as lawless as the original
crime.
There have been other ax-swing-
ing police commissioners, but they
didn't last. There was smedley But
Ter. who tried to clean up Philadel-
phia by much the same method two
years ago. The town got steadily
worse, only being cleaned up late
ly by more polite and lawful methods
after Butler had been shifted to some
distant army post where life was
easier and less exciting.
Various New York papers have
been lighting upon Mr.. Whalen
rather heavily: but discounting these
on the score they might be unduly
prejudiced, we turn to the following
in the Boston Herald, which is con-
structivs:
