MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 25.-
fp-By way Of adding another fam
taStic touch to this strangest Of fis-
tic affairs, 1t may be told in detail
today how a displaced rib came
close TO d~islocating the Striking
Sharkey heavyweight bout from its
expensive moorings.
Wv. L. will be in there to fight
Sherkey II We have TO take him up
the aisle in O wheel chair. but we
won't need to. w. Il. will be in
shape 70 give Sharkey the fight Of
his life"
Thus did PA" Strihling conclude
his descriptions OF an injury that
wv. L." met in training four days
ago and which came close TO up
setting completely the carefully laid
plans for the ten-round match to a
referees decision, this wednesday
night.
The essentials now are that Strib-
ling, in spite of several days of
acute pain from the rib injury, Is
pronounced by physicians as fully
fit to fight: that there will be no
necessity TO try to substitute Pauline
Uzcudun or sny M else for the
southerner; or face a possible post
ponement, but there have been a
flock of anxious moments for the
principals as well as Promoter Jack
Dempsey.
The absorbing angle to the Strib-
ling rib story Is what effect II viii
have on the southern idols chances.
Rhe erstwhfle Georgia school boys
following has been strong in spite
OF the somewhat general belief
among the assembled critics that
Eharkev has the best chances 70
win. The prospects now point 20 a
slight frightening of odds in Shar-
keys favor.
Both fighters were as impressive
in their last strenuous drills yes
terday as they have been at any
time but there was no installing
the advantage TO which Sharkey
showed. The Boston sailor works
and punches with utmost conf
dence. He has weight and greater
experience in faster company in his
favor. There seems nothing lacking
in his physical equipment or mental
attitude. Stribling, more nervous
and more inclined TO do the uneX-
pected, appears strong, ven though
a bit drawn and hollow checked.
There Is no mistaking the danger
in his right hand
Contrary TO previous announce
ments the fight program will be
broadcast yer a network OF stations
by the National Broadcasting COM
pany. The main bout is scheduled
for ten =. m.

Whether or not everything was

as the youthful Walker gave the

rounds.
Walker, just coming I'D the pu-

knockdowns In the second. sixth.

not Put Britton away, but on these
four occasions he had the veteran
champion flat on the canvas.
AT only one period Of the fight
between the third and the sixth
rounds-did Britton show u or hts
