JACK SHARKEY ID
 BATTLE CAMPOL0
Boston Sailor to Figure in
 Second Big Bout Of Year

New York, Aug. 16 P}-JacK Sharkey. the Boston sailor who seems to have acquired the habit of disappointing the American fight public, again has stepped forward to figure in the second big heavy weight battle of the year.
 After having given his verbal consent to fight Primo Camera for Mique Malloy in Chicago, Sharkey yesterday did a right about face and signed with Madison Square Garden to meet Victoria Campolo. the giant Argentine, in l , round bout at the Yankees ball park on Sept. %.
 Sharkey's sudden change of mind was prompted by a belated discov- cry that the Garden held an option on the former gob for one more fight providing it was willing 70 guarantee s100,o0o. This the Gar den agreed too and in addition Sharkey was given the privilege of accepting 45 per cent of the net gate receipts.
 The signing of the South Ameri- can and Sharkey not only ruined a natural" for Malloy but practically assured that the winner will meet Young Bill Striblng in the battle of the palms at Miami. Fla, next winter. Although Sharkey is in Vermont vacationing. the contract was signed by his manager. The Garden, which manages Campolo, signed for the South American.

DECIDE ON LINEUP
 OF BRITISH TEAM
ChallengerS for WeStchester Cup
 Ready for Matches

New York, Aug. 16 P}-The Brit ish challengers for the Westchester | Cup, embkmatic of international polo supremacy. have arrived in the United States with the chief ques- tion asked by polo followers already answered.
 The lineup for the invading squad, already considered a certainty as to three positions. has been settled as | to all four. Captain Charles II Tremayne, leader of the challengers. announced on arrival here with the tteam on the Aquitania, yesterday. Lewis Lacey, great British star who has spc". most of his time in the Argentine, will be at back; with Captain C. T. L Pat" Roark at No. 3. Gerald Bidding at No. and Cap ! tain Richard George at No. 1.
 For some time there has been a question as to who would fill the cru cial No. i post with the competition open between Capt George and Aidan Roark. In the final tryout matches in England and since sail ing, it has been decided that Captain | George will start at No. 1 in test matches here and in the internation- al series against Captain Tommy Bitchcock's American four unless something unforeseen develops to change the lineup. Lacey and Pat" Roark are rated at nine goals on a handicap basis, highest of the team. Capt. Humphrey Guinness completes the squad.
 Seventy-fve polo ponies. mounts of the British team that last chal- lenged unsuccessfully for this cup in 1927, arrived here a week ago and the first question Of the British players was ir regard to the condi- tion and appearance of their horses. Every member of the squad believes that this years team will be the test mounted challengers in the his- tory of the historic play. The play CTS will go immediately to the Meadow Brook Country club where a cottage has been set aside for their use. Practice will begin Monday at Meadow Brook. with three Or four games scheduled to put them in trim for the international series starting in three weeks. No dates have been set for the trial matches and oppo- nents have not been chosen.
 Captain Tremayne. who will not play except in an emergency, did the talking for the British team but had little to say.
 This is the best team we have ever brought to America" he ad- nitted, and naturally We hope to lave some good matches. We hope to win but the Americans. led by Tommy Hitchcock, are great team"

STR|BL|NG HAS
 BAD LEFT HAND
Georgia Heavyweight Arrives
 Home From England

New York. Aug. 16 LP-Young Bill Striblkg is back from Europe with Phil Scotts scalp dangling from his belt and a gleam in his eyes that bodes no good for the rest of the heavyweights who think they can fight some.
 Travelling alone, the young man Of 2 who has suddenly developed a punch and a desire to use 1t on all the heacyweights he can reach. arrived yesterday with an English brindle bull pup and a bad left hand as a memento of his conquest or the British champion.
 The bad hand, broken in three places five months ago in a match with Pietro Corri in Tampa, Fla. will keep young Stribling out of the heavyweight picture he now dom mates for the next six weeks at least. Although the breaks have healed, the hand is so tender that injections of novoCaine were nec- essary in both his one-round knock out in Chicago of Otto Non Porat and his two round victory over Scott Once the hand is right again, Stribling is ready to fight any man in the world.
 T had q great time" Stribling said "I wish Scott could have been a better fighter, but that couldn't be helped.
 T knew I was going 10 knock him out in two rounds just like l told you before I left. I'm punching harder than ever before in my life. I'm heaver. I'm old enough now SO that l feel that I can slug it out with any heavyweight in the game. That goes for Jack Sharkey, Primo Camera and Max Schmeling. I've been boxing 2 1-2 years and now I'm going to do some fighting.
 Boy" he added with a grin, you may not realize it but you're looking at tiger
 Then the looking southern- CT. one of the incest youngsters in the fight game, got back to his dis cussion of the heavyweights.
 First I want to fight Sharkey," he said. 'I'll knock him out the

next time we meet, even though he gratulations after my match with Scott. Camera is tougher than most Of you think, and I'd like another shot at him. Both Sharkey and Car nera l believe are better heavy weights than Max Schmeling, the champion. In my first fight I'd like to go back to Chicago for Nate Lewis, the promoter who gave me the chance to meet Won Porat. l may tackle Tuffy Griffiths there.
 Scott wasn't much to lick. l was careful, every time l belted him in the body, to take a careful sight be- fore I let the punch go. I knocked hlm down three times with body punches and twice with shorts to the head Ther wasn't the faintest cry of foul Scott hit me on the hose with a left jab, the tirct punch. and made me so mad I hit him harder than l ever socked any one before.
 Don't under-e estimate Camera. He can fight better than you think. He has a lot of natural advantages. Hes so tall you have to punch up at him all the time, and you cant get the power that you do punching down. He's invulnerable around the body. His chin is his only weakness. hit Camera for seven rounds with the same socks that finished Scott in two and the Italian only grunt- ed"
 Stribling has put on six pounds of fighting weight since he lost to Sharkey in Miami two years ago.
